Turn signal switch is usually installed on the left side of the steering wheel. Turning the switch upward (clockwise) indicates a right turn, while turning it downward (counterclockwise) indicates a left turn. The following is a detailed introduction about car turn signals: 1. Overview: Car turn signals refer to the flashing indicator lights that are activated when the vehicle turns, alerting pedestrians or vehicles in front or behind to the direction of travel. 2. Classification: Based on the materials used, they can be roughly divided into gas car turn signals and LED car turn signals. Based on their position, they can be roughly divided into front turn signals, rear turn signals, and side turn signals. Side turn signals are usually installed next to the door of the first cab or on the rearview mirror.

How to Properly Adjust Vehicle Rearview Mirrors?

When adjusting the rearview mirrors, it is essential to set them to a suitable viewing angle based on your seating position. Here are some tips for adjusting the rearview mirrors: 1. Left rearview mirror: When adjusting the left rearview mirror, ensure that you can see both the side of your vehicle and the obstacles on the left rear clearly. The optimal angle is to adjust the vertical position so that the sky and ground each occupy half of the mirror's surface. Horizontally, adjust it so that the vehicle body occupies about 1/4 of the mirror's area, allowing visibility of the rear door handle. 2. Right rearview mirror: When adjusting the right rearview mirror, ensure that the vertical position is adjusted so that the sky occupies about 1/4 of the upper part of the mirror. Horizontally, adjust it so that the vehicle body occupies about 1/4 of the mirror's area, allowing visibility of the rear door handle.

What is the Difference Between One Lock, Two Locks, and Three Locks?

The commonly referred to "three locks" typically mean the central differential lock, front axle differential lock, and rear axle differential lock. Vehicles equipped with three locks have the strongest off-road escape capability. Vehicles with two locks have weaker off-road escape capability than those with three locks but stronger than those with only one lock. 1. When the central differential lock is engaged, the vehicle's power can be distributed to both the front and rear axles simultaneously. 2. When the front/rear differential lock is engaged, both wheels on the front/rear axle can receive power. Even if the vehicle is deeply stuck in sand, mud, or trenches with three wheels slipping simultaneously, as long as all three locks are engaged, all four wheels can gain traction. This allows the wheels with grip to drive the vehicle forward, significantly enhancing its escape capability.

How Deep Does Water Need to Be for the Transmission to Get Flooded?

After a vehicle drives through water, transmission flooding generally occurs under the following circumstances: 1. When water reaches above 2/3 of the wheel height: The probability of transmission flooding is around 80% to 90%. 2. When water has reached the dashboard level: The transmission is 100% flooded. Typically, there are two scenarios when a vehicle encounters water: 1. The vehicle is in motion: As long as the vehicle is still moving and the engine hasn't stalled, even if the transmission is submerged, it usually won't get flooded. Although the transmission has a vent hole, because it is operational, there is pressure inside the housing, preventing water from entering. 2. The vehicle is stationary: In this case, the transmission is not working. If the housing is submerged in water, water can enter through the vent hole. In such a situation, the transmission must be inspected, and the transmission fluid must be replaced. If this is not done within 4 hours and the vehicle is brought to a repair shop three to five days later, even after repairs, transmission issues are likely to reappear within five months.

What should be the minimum tread depth for the steering wheel tires of a truck?

The tread depth of the steering wheel tires for a truck should be greater than or equal to 3.2mm. Here are the relevant details: 1. Tread depth standards for different vehicle types: The tread depth of passenger cars, motorcycles, and trailer tires should be greater than or equal to 1.6mm; the tread depth of steering wheel tires for other motor vehicles should be greater than or equal to 3.2mm; the tread depth of other tires should be greater than or equal to 1.6mm, and the tire wear indicators should be visible. 2. Registration inspection considerations: a) Special school buses should be equipped with tubeless radial tires; b) Vehicles transporting hazardous goods and other buses with a length greater than 9m should be equipped with radial tires; c) Small and micro passenger vehicles using small-sized spare tires should have a permanently affixed and clearly visible label near the spare tire (or another appropriate location) reminding the driver of the correct use of the spare tire, with the label's instructions including Chinese text.

What is the fuel consumption of the Focus 1.6?

The Focus 1.6 has a fuel consumption of 8 liters per 100 kilometers. The following is relevant information: 1. Brand introduction: The Focus is a Class A family sedan under Ford. In 1991, Ford Motor Company exhibited a concept car named GHIA, which later became the prototype for the Focus. 2. Design: The Focus features a reinforced cage-type body structure design and uses high-strength steel plate materials to enhance body rigidity. Both the front and rear impact buffer zones and the door anti-collision steel beams adopt the same reinforced structure design. The impact buffer zones can evenly distribute the collision force across the entire body during a crash, thereby avoiding collision injuries to passengers in the cabin and significantly enhancing shock absorption capability.
