Adjust the headlight height to 0. Inside the car, there is a manual adjustment knob for the headlight height, allowing you to freely adjust the illumination height of the headlights. Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the eyes of the car and are warning lights for safe driving at night or in bad weather conditions. Methods for maintaining car headlights include: 1. Regularly check the sealing of the headlights and replace the sealing ring between the lens and reflector if damaged; 2. Clean the reflector regularly; 3. Clean the bulbs regularly; 4. Regularly inspect and adjust the beam direction.

As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I recommend adjusting the headlight height to 0 or 1 based on actual conditions. Setting 0 is typically the lowest position, suitable when the car is fully loaded to prevent the lights from shining too high and dazzling oncoming drivers. Setting 1 is a medium or slightly higher position, useful when the car is empty for better long-distance visibility, but avoid setting it too high to ensure safety. I always follow this principle: choose 0 for city traffic jams or family trips with many passengers, and 1 for empty suburban roads. The key is to test drive and check the actual effect, ensuring clear road illumination without hazards. Incorrectly setting the lights too high not only causes trouble but may also result in legal fines. Regularly inspect the manual adjustment switch position—some cars have it near the driver’s seat—and don’t forget to check the manual for specific safety instructions. Safe driving habits are crucial, so never cut corners.

At what position should you start turning the steering wheel when making a left turn?

When making a left turn, the driver should turn the steering wheel 15 degrees to the left after the vehicle crosses the stop line. Activate the left turn signal in advance. If the left turn is a sharp curve or a U-turn direction, the driver should turn the steering wheel fully to the left when half of the vehicle body passes the stop line, observe the front view, select the lane to enter, and finally straighten the steering wheel. Precautions for making a left turn with a car: Activate the left turn signal in advance, pay attention to the traffic signal light, ensure it is a green left turn light, then check if any oncoming vehicles are running a red light before turning left. When the red light is on, stop and wait to turn left, and shift into first gear. Pay attention to pedestrians when turning left. Method for activating the left turn signal in a car: Push the turn signal lever downward. Function of the turn signal: To indicate to pedestrians or other vehicles the direction in which the vehicle will turn. When both left and right turn signals are on simultaneously, it indicates that the vehicle has an emergency situation to alert other vehicles.

What Causes Car Leakage?

Possible causes of car leakage include: poor sealing of the trunk seal strip, aging or cracking of the car's waterproof rubber strip leading to leakage, excessive dust and debris in the sunroof drainage channel blocking the drain hole, or misalignment of the rubber plugs embedded in the floor panel holes. Trunk water accumulation: This is usually caused by poor sealing of the trunk seal strip or tail light seal strip. There is a drainage hole above the fuel tank cap, and since the fuel tank opening faces upward, it is prone to water accumulation. Car leakage issues should be addressed at a 4S shop or professional auto repair shop. Rubber strip aging: With prolonged use, the waterproof rubber strips around doors and trunk openings may age or crack, allowing rainwater to seep into the car through these gaps, resulting in leakage. Visit a repair shop to replace the rubber strips. Drain hole blockage: Sunroof leakage is relatively common, where heavy rain outside leads to dripping inside. The main cause is blockage of the sunroof drainage holes by accumulated dust and debris, causing overflow. You can inspect and clean this yourself.

Is It Normal for a New Car's Steering Wheel to Slightly Lean to the Right?

A slight rightward lean in a new car's steering wheel is normal. Minor rightward deviation is generally not a cause for concern, as it can be influenced by road design factors. Additionally, car steering wheels are designed with approximately 5% free play, meaning deviations within this range are considered normal. Below are some related explanations: If the new car's steering wheel leans significantly to the right, the first step is to check whether the tire pressure on both sides is balanced, as well as the wear condition of the tires. It could also be caused by issues with the front wheel camber angle or the steering system. Four-wheel alignment is the most effective method for addressing car drifting. Based on computer data, it adjusts the horizontal conditions of all four tires, ensuring proper settings for parameters such as caster angle, kingpin inclination, front wheel camber, rear wheel camber, front toe, and rear toe. Four-wheel alignment and dynamic balancing: If four-wheel alignment and dynamic balancing still fail to resolve the car's drifting issue, it is necessary to inspect the suspension system for potential problems, such as damage, deformation, or misalignment of suspension components. Long-term wear on steering system parts, excessive clearance in contact surfaces, or loose bearings may also lead to steering system malfunctions.

Is it necessary to deal with scratches on car light covers?

It is necessary to deal with scratches on car light covers. If there are many scratches on the car light cover, it will affect the brightness of the lights during night driving, and in severe cases, it may even cause traffic accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with scratches on car light covers. Repairing scratches on car lights requires professional technicians at professional beauty shops to use specialized products. Generally, polishing and restoration procedures are used to repair the scratches, aiming to restore a smooth and flat effect as much as possible. However, severe physical damage cannot be successfully repaired through beauty treatments. It is necessary to assess the damage before deciding whether to sand it. Methods for dealing with scratches on car light covers: Toothpaste polishing: If there are fine scratches on the car headlights that do not affect normal use, toothpaste can be used for polishing because toothpaste contains abrasive particles, which can help with minor scratches. Polishing repair: For longer scratches and cracks on car headlights, fine sandpaper can be used for sanding, followed by polishing with polishing wax, similar to the principle of paint polishing. Replace the light cover: If the scratches on the car light cover are severe and already affect normal driving, it is necessary to go to a professional repair shop to replace the car light cover in time.
