First, adjust the right rearview mirror: The upper edge should allow visibility of the rear door handle, while ensuring the front door handle is centered in the mirror (vertically). The car body should occupy 1/4 of the mirror's area (the less, the better; too small may cause the ground lines to appear differently compared to the left mirror). This allows for better visibility to the right. Left rearview mirror adjustment: Refer to the right mirror, but the left mirror has an additional function—during parallel parking, you need to see the left rear wheel. Therefore, you must ensure that you can see the left rear wheel by leaning forward slightly. No matter what, you must be able to see the left rear wheel for easier parallel parking (turning the wheel fully when the left rear wheel aligns with the line ensures successful parking, but pay attention to the car's angle, which should be around 40 degrees). Reversing into the parking space: Sometimes, the parking lot lacks the front line, so you can only rely on the rear line. In this case, observe the left rearview mirror with the front handle centered vertically. While reversing, watch the left rearview mirror, and when the front door handle aligns with the rear line, stop. However, individual height and seat position may vary slightly, but the door handle and mirror positions remain consistent.

Do I need to replace both front and rear tires when switching to a different brand?

When switching to tires of a different brand, you don't need to replace both front and rear tires, but you must replace both left and right tires simultaneously. Effects of not replacing in pairs: If the tires are significantly worn and you replace only one new tire instead of in pairs, it may cause issues such as vehicle pulling during driving or braking, especially noticeable on wet surfaces. This occurs because new and old tires have different grip levels, friction coefficients, and heights, leading to the aforementioned problems. Differences in tire drainage capacity can also cause hydroplaning or pulling during rainy seasons when driving through water. Tires of different brands: Tires from different brands can be mixed, but the two tires on the same axle must be identical. This means both front tires should be the same (no mixing) and both rear tires should be the same (no mixing).

What are the reasons why the Nissan Tiida cannot start?

The reasons and solutions for the Nissan Tiida failing to start are as follows: Use of inferior engine oil: During cold starts, factors such as cylinder pressure, engine speed, and temperature make it difficult for inferior oil to ignite, preventing the engine from starting. It is recommended to use the oil recommended by the manufacturer or a higher-quality fully synthetic oil. Battery depletion: When the voltage during startup is lower than the minimum operating voltage of the computer, the engine control unit does not function, preventing the engine from starting. In this case, the battery should be recharged or replaced. Starter relay sticking: During startup, there is only a slight "click" sound with no further response, which is caused by the starter relay sticking. In this situation, simply pressing the end of the solenoid to force it forward can connect the starter circuit, allowing the engine to start.

Besides engine speed, what other factors affect the optimal ignition angle?

Besides engine speed, there are three factors that affect the optimal ignition angle: 1. The higher the cylinder temperature and pressure, the faster the air-fuel mixture burns, requiring a smaller ignition advance angle. Factors influencing cylinder temperature and pressure include engine compression ratio, ambient temperature, cylinder temperature, and load. 2. The octane rating of gasoline, where a higher rating indicates better anti-knock performance, allowing for a larger ignition advance angle. 3. The air-fuel mixture ratio. Both overly rich and lean mixtures burn more slowly, necessitating an increased ignition advance angle. The air-fuel mixture ratio mainly depends on throttle opening and altitude. Note: Modern engines are equipped with knock sensors. When knocking is detected, the engine control unit reduces the ignition advance angle. Achieving relatively complex and precise adjustments is difficult with traditional mechanical ignition systems. Only electronic ignition systems can achieve the optimal ignition advance angle with high speed, precision, and stability.

Is the original vehicle license required for demerit points?

Demerit points require the original vehicle license. Documents required for demerit points: To process demerit points on a driver's license, you need to bring the original and copy of the vehicle license of the offending vehicle, the original and copy of the driver's license, cash or a bank card designated by the traffic police department, and go to the service hall of the traffic management department. The license holder must be present in person. Personal signature is required, and the license holder must be present in person, and an ID card must be presented. Demerit points cannot be replenished: Within one cycle, if the demerit points on the license are less than 12, the fine must be paid, and the points will be cleared in the next cycle; if the demerit points reach 12, the driver must attend a seven-day study and examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the place where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued within fifteen days.

What Are Some Tips for Removing Bug Residue from Cars?

Tips for removing bug residue from cars: 1. Essential Balm and Floral Water: These items are commonly found in households. Besides their medicinal uses, such as relieving itchiness and repelling mosquitoes, many car owners may not realize they also have another function—removing tree sap, bird droppings, asphalt, and other dirt from the car's paint surface. 2. Organic Solvents: Essential balm and floral water contain alcohol-based organic solvents that can effectively dissolve sticky organic substances. They are useful for cleaning minor bug residue on the paint surface. After cleaning, rinse the surface promptly. 3. Nail Polish Remover: Nail polish remover is another common household item that can remove tree sap from the car's paint. Simply pour it onto the affected area, let it soak in, and then wipe it off easily with a cloth. When using nail polish remover to clean tree sap, it's best to avoid harsh formulations.
