Methods to prevent rainwater from sticking to rearview mirrors: 1. Install rain guards. There are generally two types of rain guards: one is adhered above the rearview mirror, and the other is inserted into the gap between the rearview mirror and its frame. The first type is recommended as it is easier to install, and only requires simple adhesive removal when uninstalled. 2. Apply detergent, soapy water, shampoo, or a layer of car wax to the rearview mirror. These simple methods can temporarily solve the problem of a foggy rearview mirror. After applying detergent, the mirror can remain clear for 1 to 2 hours during heavy rain. If soapy water, shampoo, or car wax is used, the effect can last relatively longer.

Which is the accelerator and which is the brake in a manual transmission car?

The accelerator and brake pedals in a manual transmission car are located at the bottom of the driver's compartment. The middle pedal is the brake, and the rightmost pedal is the accelerator. Here are some relevant introductions about manual transmission cars: 1. The pedals in the driver's compartment of a manual transmission car are: the leftmost is the clutch, the middle is the brake, and the rightmost is the accelerator. 2. Method for controlling the accelerator pedal: The throttle of a car engine is generally controlled by a pedal, also known as the accelerator pedal, which is a device for controlling the fuel supply of the vehicle engine. The operation of the accelerator pedal should use the right heel placed on the floor of the driver's compartment as a pivot point, with the sole gently pressing on the accelerator pedal, using the extension and flexion of the ankle joint to press down or release. When pressing or releasing the accelerator pedal, the force should be gentle, ensuring a light press and slow release. When starting the engine, do not press the accelerator pedal all the way down; it is better to have it slightly above the idle throttle.

Can 2H and 4H be switched manually in four-wheel drive?

Yes. 2H is used when driving on good road surfaces. 4H and 4L are suitable for driving on unpaved roads (off-road conditions). If the four-wheel drive function is used on ordinary roads, it will consume a lot of fuel, and tire wear will also increase significantly. When switching gears on the transfer case, it is advisable to do so while the vehicle is stationary. Additional information: 2H and 4H stand for two-wheel drive high gear and four-wheel drive high gear, respectively. If the engine is running, the clutch must be depressed. Since the transfer case generally does not have a synchronized gear mechanism, switching gears while driving often results in gear grinding, which may damage the transfer case.

Should You Depress the Clutch When Braking at Low Speeds in a Manual Transmission?

Depressing the clutch is not always necessary when braking. The clutch is only used in three situations: starting, shifting gears, and braking at low speeds (to prevent stalling). Generally, you do not need to depress the clutch when slowing down. In emergency situations, both the clutch and brake should be pressed simultaneously. There are primarily two scenarios where you should depress the clutch: 1. When performing emergency braking (equivalent to shifting into neutral): This prevents the car from stalling during a sudden stop, ensuring the vehicle remains agile and maneuverable after braking. Additionally, for most front-wheel-drive cars, steering tends to be more responsive in neutral, allowing better obstacle avoidance in dangerous situations. 2. When braking at low speeds: Another scenario is depressing the clutch while braking at low speeds to control speed, again to prevent the engine from stalling due to excessively slow speed. Since depressing the clutch while braking has almost no impact on braking distance, it is advisable to depress the clutch when braking, except when descending a hill.

Can I apply for a driver's license renewal on my phone?

You can renew your driver's license on your phone by logging into the Traffic Management 12123 platform, locating the driver's license renewal option, and submitting the required documents as prompted. Renewal regulations: If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of their driver's license, they will be issued a new license with a ten-year validity period. If they continue to maintain this record during the ten-year validity period, they will be issued a long-term valid driver's license. Materials required for replacement or renewal of a driver's license: A motor vehicle driver's license records the holder's ID number, name, gender, date of birth, permanent address, nationality, permitted vehicle type code, initial issuance date, validity period, and management records. It also includes the issuing authority's seal, file number, and the holder's photo. The design of the motor vehicle driver's license is stipulated by the Ministry of Public Security.

Should You Pull the Handbrake or Shift Gears First When Starting a Manual Transmission Car?

When starting a manual transmission car, you should shift gears first. Below is an introduction to manual transmissions: 1. Composition: Gear shifting is achieved by switching between different gear sets. As the key component in distributing power, the transmission must have two major parts: a power input shaft and an output shaft, along with the gears that make up the transmission, forming the most basic components of a manual transmission. 2. Principle: The power input shaft is connected to the clutch, and the power transmitted from the clutch is directly passed to the gear set through the input shaft. The gear set consists of gears of different diameters, and different gear ratios achieve completely different power transmission effects. The gear shifting during normal driving refers to changing the gear ratio.

Is It Dangerous to Continue Driving with an Overheated Radiator?

Yes, it is dangerous. You should not continue driving when the engine coolant temperature is too high. Here are the details: 1. Introduction: Under normal circumstances, the engine's optimal operating temperature is around 90 degrees Celsius, which ensures good power performance and fuel efficiency while reducing wear and extending service life. 2. Solution: First, observe the ammeter. If the ammeter does not indicate charging when you press the accelerator, and the needle only swings intermittently from a discharge of 3A-5A back to the '0' position, it means the fan belt is broken. If the ammeter indicates charging, turn off the engine and touch the radiator and engine by hand. If the engine is very hot but the radiator is cool, it indicates that the water pump shaft and impeller are loose, interrupting the coolant circulation. If there is little temperature difference between the engine and radiator, check the cooling system for any severe coolant leaks.
