Operating steps for reverse parking: 1. Engage first gear and drive at low speed to the test area. Adjust the direction during the process to keep the car body 1.5 to 1.8 meters away from the white line at the edge of the garage. Stop when the shoulder line aligns with the control line; 2. After stopping for more than three seconds, engage reverse gear and drive at low speed. When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the control line, quickly turn the steering wheel to the right as far as it will go; 3. Observe the right rearview mirror and adjust the parking based on the distance between the car body and the left front corner line of the garage area. If the distance is greater than 30cm, turn the steering wheel to the right; if it is less than 30cm, turn the steering wheel to the left; 4. When the car body is about to be parallel with the side line of the garage area, straighten the steering wheel to the left. Then observe the left rearview mirror and stop when the lower edge of the left rearview mirror covers the front horizontal line of the garage area.

I remember when I was learning to drive, my instructor taught me to first park the car parallel to the parking space, about half a car's width away, then shift into reverse, slowly release the brake and start backing up. At this point, I would check both side mirrors to confirm there are no cars or people on either side, especially paying attention to blind spots, and turn on the left turn signal to indicate my intention to enter. Then, while backing up, I would steer the wheel—if backing into a right-side parking space, I would turn the wheel to the right, allowing the car to gradually enter. When the rear wheels are close to the line, I would straighten the wheel and continue backing up; once inside, I would make minor adjustments as needed, and as soon as the car stops, I would press the brake and pull the handbrake. The whole process should be slow and steady, without rushing to accelerate. I practiced this many times back then, sweating from nervousness, but remembering to frequently check the mirrors and control the speed helped avoid scratches. Now that I drive more often, it doesn’t seem so difficult—safety comes first, and with more practice, it naturally becomes easier.

How to Check if Brake Pads Need Replacement?

Brake pad replacement criteria are as follows: 1. Some vehicles have a brake pad wear limit warning light on the dashboard. Generally, when this light comes on, it indicates that the brake pads need replacement. 2. Brake pads typically have a thickness between 1-1.5cm. When the wear thickness is less than 3mm, the brake pads should be replaced. 3. If the brake pedal needs to be pressed deeper than usual (increased braking travel) or the braking feels softer, it may indicate that the brake pads are nearly worn out. 4. If you hear a squeaking or grinding noise during braking, it is likely the sound of metal-on-metal contact between the brake pad and brake disc, signaling the need for replacement. 5. If there is brake caliper leakage contaminating the brake pads, and oil stains remain even after sanding, the brake pads must be replaced regardless of their remaining thickness.

What does an off-line vehicle mean?

An off-line vehicle refers to a car that a taxi company, in accordance with government regulations, transfers to local use before the vehicle reaches its mandatory retirement age. These vehicles are categorized into two types: commercial-to-non-commercial and taxi-to-non-commercial. Below is more information about off-line vehicles: 1. An off-line vehicle is a taxi whose operational vehicle registration has been converted to non-operational status. Unlike private cars, such operational vehicles have a service life limit. According to the "Mandatory Vehicle Retirement Standards," they can still be driven for up to 8 years. Depending on the vehicle type, medium-sized taxis have a service life of 10 years, while large-sized taxis have a service life of 12 years. 2. For example, if a vehicle is used as a taxi for 3 years before being converted to an off-line vehicle, it can still be used for another 5 years, and so on, but the total service life must not exceed 8 years. Any registered operational vehicle must comply with the above regulations.

How often should the power steering fluid be changed in a Lavida?

Lavida generally requires fluid replacement every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. Below is the method for changing the power steering fluid in a Lavida: 1. When changing the power steering fluid, first start the car and use a fluid extractor to remove all the old fluid. 2. Pour in new power steering fluid, then turn the steering wheel back and forth to allow the new fluid to penetrate, which also helps clean the system. For thorough penetration, it's best to turn the steering wheel fully left and right, then gently turn it back and forth. The purpose of turning the steering wheel repeatedly is to expel the old fluid from the steering gear, but avoid holding the steering wheel at full lock for too long, as this may cause excessive oil pressure and force the power steering fluid to spray out. 3. Extract the fluid from the power steering fluid reservoir again, then pour in new fluid and turn the steering wheel once more. 4. Extract the fluid for a third time. The purpose of this repeated process is to ensure the old fluid is completely removed before adding new fluid.
