Here are the detailed instructions for adjusting the rearview mirror positions: 1. Adjusting the rearview mirror buttons: You can adjust them using the electric buttons inside the car, which are located on the left side of the steering wheel, allowing you to adjust both the left and right rearview mirrors. 2. Adjusting the central rearview mirror: Adjust the left and right positions so that the left edge of the mirror just cuts to the right ear of the image in the mirror, and the up and down positions should place the distant horizon in the center of the mirror. The key to adjusting the central rearview mirror is to place it horizontally in the middle and position the ear on the left. Place the distant horizon along the midline of the central rearview mirror, then move it left or right so that the image of the right ear is just at the left edge of the mirror. 3. Adjusting the left rearview mirror: For the up and down positions, place the distant horizon in the center, and for the left and right positions, adjust so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area. The key to adjusting the left rearview mirror is to place the horizon along the midline of the mirror and adjust the car's edge to occupy 1/4 of the mirror's image. 4. Adjusting the right rearview mirror: Since the driver's seat is on the left, it is not as easy for the driver to grasp the situation on the right side of the car. Additionally, due to the need for roadside parking, the right rearview mirror should leave a larger ground area when adjusting the up and down positions, occupying about 2/3 of the mirror. As for the left and right positions, adjust so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area. The key to adjusting the right rearview mirror is to place the horizon at the 2/3 position of the mirror and then adjust the car's edge to occupy 1/4 of the mirror's image.

When Can Temporary License Plates Be Collected?

After applying for temporary license plates at the vehicle management office, the official license plates can be collected in about 15 days. After obtaining the official license plates, they still need to be securely sealed at the vehicle management office. Temporary license plates for vehicles are temporary driving permits issued by the public security vehicle management department when the vehicle has not yet been officially registered due to the processing of certain procedures. Below is more information about the use of temporary license plates for vehicles: 1. New vehicles using temporary license plates must not exceed 15 days, and the owner should promptly apply to the vehicle management authority for the use of official license plates. 2. Two temporary license plates should be affixed simultaneously, one in the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, and the other should be affixed in the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. 3. If the vehicle has installation limitations and only one temporary license plate is issued, it should be affixed in the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, to ensure driving safety.

What are the reasons for abnormal display of the engine oil pressure gauge?

There are several possible reasons for abnormal display of the engine oil pressure gauge: 1. If the gauge needle indicates low pressure, it may be due to excessive wear of the oil pump, clogged filter, or low oil level. 2. The pressure gauge itself may be faulty. 3. The lubricating oil may be too thin. 4. Poor sealing of the oil passages. When the gauge needle shows abnormal oil pressure, it indicates a fault in the engine components. If the oil gauge needle indicates low pressure or the needle fluctuates significantly, it may be caused by excessive wear of the oil pump, clogged filter, oil suction screen exposed above the oil level, low oil level, air mixed in the oil passages, or a faulty pressure gauge. Additionally, low viscosity of the lubricating oil, poor sealing and lubrication of the oil passages, excessive viscosity of the lubricating oil when too cold, or excessive sludge deposits in the lubricating oil can also cause abnormal display of the oil pressure gauge. The working principle of the oil pressure sensor (engine oil pressure sensor) is that it contains a sliding resistor. The oil pressure pushes the potentiometer of the sliding resistor to move, changing the current of the oil pressure gauge and altering the position of the needle.

What is the function of the S gear in an automatic transmission car?

Here are the main functions of the S gear in an automatic transmission car: 1. The S gear is the sport mode, which allows for faster acceleration. 2. The S gear is the car's sport mode, where the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer period. This allows the car to move at a lower gear and higher RPM for an extended time, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. Here are some tips for using the S gear: 1. Generally, when overtaking, you can engage the S gear to enhance acceleration. Engaging the S gear can increase the engine load in a short time, but the S gear only delays upshifting without changing other operational aspects. This will inevitably increase the transmission load in a short time, accompanied by a rise in temperature, leading to increased wear. Therefore, try not to use the S gear for extended periods. 2. Since fuel injection increases at high RPM, the S mode consumes more fuel than the normal mode. Avoid engaging the S gear during vehicle startup, high-speed cruising, and coasting. 3. Cars that frequently drive in congested urban areas tend to accumulate more carbon deposits in the engine. Therefore, using the S gear appropriately at regular intervals helps remove carbon deposits from the engine, improve fuel economy, and extend the engine's lifespan.

How Often Should Family Cars Undergo Inspection

After the implementation of the new vehicle inspection regulations, cars aged between 6 to 10 years require inspection every 2 years. The vehicles must undergo on-site inspection during the 6th and 8th year. For private cars over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies: annual inspection for vehicles aged 10 to 15 years, and semi-annual inspection for those over 15 years. New passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) are exempt from annual inspection within the first 6 years. After 6 years, they require annual inspection, and semi-annual inspection after 15 years. 1. Newly purchased family cars with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) are exempt from on-site inspection within the first 6 years, unless involved in major accidents, which still require on-site inspection. 2. Although new cars are exempt from on-site inspection, owners must collect the annual inspection sticker and environmental compliance sticker from the vehicle management office every two years. Bring the vehicle registration certificate and the valid compulsory traffic insurance policy for the current year to the designated window to receive them free of charge. 3. The free annual inspection and environmental stickers must be collected within the specified time frame, which is 60 days before the vehicle's registration date. Late collection may result in a 200 yuan fine and 3 penalty points.
