Parallel parking involves watching for the curb corner to disappear, then reversing a bit further and turning the steering wheel fully to the right. Here is more information about parallel parking: The rules of parallel parking require the driver to correctly operate the vehicle and accurately park it into the designated parallel parking space. The operational rules state that the wheels must not cross the boundary lines when entering the parking space, and the vehicle body must not exceed the parking space limits when stationary. Parallel parking is widely used in real-life situations, especially in residential areas where it is frequently encountered, making it a highly practical assessment item. Parallel parking technique: After starting from the initial position, turn your head to look through the small window of the right rear door until you see pole No. 1, then turn the steering wheel fully to the right. After turning the wheel fully, check the left rearview mirror until the vehicle body aligns with pole No. 4, then turn the steering wheel back to the center. Continue reversing while watching the left rearview mirror until the left rear wheel is centered over the line, then turn the steering wheel fully to the left. Straighten the vehicle to complete the parking.

What is the difference between Shell 5w20 and 0w20?

Shell 5w20 and 0w20 differences: Different viscosity: The viscosity of 0w20 engine oil is lower than that of 5w20. Regardless of the brand, engine oils use the unified SAE grade classification. The winter oil grades for engine oil viscosity classification are: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W. The symbol W stands for winter, and the smaller the number before W, the lower the low-temperature viscosity and the better the low-temperature fluidity. Different applicable temperatures: 5w20 is suitable for a temperature range of -30°C to -35°C; 0w20 is suitable for a temperature range of -35°C to -40°C. "0W" means it can start normally at temperatures as low as -35°C. Different starting performance at low temperatures: The number before W represents the fluidity at low temperatures. The smaller the number, the better the starting performance at low temperatures. Therefore, 0w20 has better starting performance at low temperatures than 5w20.

What Causes the Starter to Not Respond When Turning the Key?

Reasons why the starter does not respond when turning the key: Insufficient fuel: First, check if there is insufficient fuel. When the car lacks its power source—"gasoline"—it naturally won't start. If the failure to start is due to running out of fuel, the solution is straightforward. Depending on your situation, you can seek help from nearby drivers, borrow fuel, or arrange for towing to a gas station as emergency measures. Incorrect gear position: An incorrect gear position can also prevent the car from starting. Generally, the correct gear positions for starting an automatic transmission car are P (Park) or N (Neutral). If the driver carelessly leaves the gear in R (Reverse) or another position, not only will the car fail to start, but it also poses a safety hazard. Electrical circuit malfunction: If the issue lies in the electrical circuit, the car's failure to start can be sudden. Common electrical faults that cause the starter to not respond include blown fuses, open circuits in the high-voltage coil, open circuits in the low-voltage circuit, detached central ignition wires, leaking distributor heads, or damaged spark plugs. Further inspection and repair are necessary in such cases.

Can You Still Drive If the Car Belt Breaks?

You cannot drive if the car belt breaks. Consequences of a broken timing belt: If the timing belt breaks, the vehicle cannot start, and the engine cannot operate normally. You can only call for rescue and tow the car to a repair facility for further inspection to determine the damaged components and replace them. Typically, at least the timing belt set needs to be replaced, and in severe cases, the engine may require a major overhaul. Consequences of a broken alternator belt: A broken alternator belt not only affects driving safety but can also cause the vehicle to break down. When the alternator belt breaks, the alternator stops working. At this point, the vehicle relies solely on the battery's direct power supply instead of the alternator. After driving a very short distance, the vehicle's battery will be depleted, making it impossible to start. In some models, the water pump is driven by the alternator belt. If the belt breaks, the engine will overheat, making normal driving impossible, and in severe cases, it can lead to engine damage due to overheating. Additionally, in some models, the power steering pump may also fail to function properly, resulting in loss of power steering.

Where is the Tesla Rearview Mirror Heating Switch?

The Tesla rearview mirror heating is integrated with the rear windshield defogging function into a single button. It is located next to the air conditioning fan speed adjustment switch on the control panel, specifically the button with an icon of three curved upward arrows paired with a rectangular shape. Press this button to activate the heating. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for frequent manual wiping by the driver and thereby reducing driving hazards. Methods to use the rearview mirror heating function: The rearview mirror heating function typically has two activation methods. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment button—simply rotate the knob to activate it. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to turn it on. No manual angle adjustment is required, as there is an adjustment button on the driver's side. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature within minutes, usually between 35-60 degrees Celsius. The heat dissipates from both left and right rearview mirrors. Meanwhile, as the temperature rises and evaporation occurs, water droplets on the mirror surface become smaller, and fog gradually disappears, effectively defogging and deicing the mirror. However, in heavy rain, the effect may diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves adding electric heating wires to the mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of power. Ensure the car is running when using this function to avoid draining the battery, which could prevent the car from starting. Other methods to defog rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air convection: Slightly open both side windows to allow air exchange between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and gradually eliminating fog. Using the car's air conditioning: Adjust the air conditioning to the appropriate setting to blow hot air for defogging.

What is the oil change interval for the Jog 125?

The Jog 125 requires an oil change every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. Oil change principles: The oil change interval depends on the type of oil used. Mineral oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers; semi-synthetic oil every 7,500 kilometers; and fully synthetic oil can be changed every 10,000-15,000 kilometers. Oil change method: Loosen the nut at the bottom (remember: righty-tighty, lefty-loosey). For a new bike during the break-in period, it's recommended to first loosen the side drain nut. After draining the oil, then loosen the bottom drain nut. Clean any metal shavings from the nut and check the oil clarity in the filter screen. The filter screen will come off with the bottom drain nut when removed. After completing all cleaning procedures, prepare to add new oil. For new bikes during break-in, synthetic vegetable oil is recommended. Before adding new oil, make sure to tighten both the side and bottom drain nuts, and don't forget to reinstall the filter screen at the bottom. Open the oil dipstick to add oil. When the oil has been completely drained, exactly 1L (one bottle) can be poured in.

Does the 'Yield to the Right' Rule Apply When the Front of the Vehicle Has Already Passed the Intersection?

The 'Yield to the Right' rule does not apply when the front of the vehicle has already passed the intersection. Conditions for applying the 'Yield to the Right' rule: When motor vehicles pass through an intersection without traffic signal control or traffic police direction, in addition to complying with the provisions of Article 51, paragraphs (2) and (3), they should also adhere to the following rules: if there are traffic signs or markings indicating priority, the party with priority should proceed first; in the absence of traffic signs or markings, vehicles should stop and look before entering the intersection, yielding to vehicles coming from the right; vehicles on minor roads should yield to those on major roads; turning motor vehicles should yield to vehicles going straight; and right-turning motor vehicles traveling in opposite directions should yield to left-turning vehicles. Conditions where the 'Yield to the Right' rule does not apply: The 'Yield to the Right' rule does not apply when a vehicle going straight is on a major road and a right-turning vehicle is about to merge into the major road from a minor road. In this case, the vehicle going straight on the major road has the right of way, which differs from the situation at a cross intersection where vehicles from different directions all have the right to proceed straight on the main road, requiring vehicles to yield to those coming from the right.
