Correct method for adjusting rearview mirrors: 1. Adjust the horizon reflection in the center rearview mirror to the middle of the mirror, and adjust the reflection of the right ear to the left edge of the mirror; 2. Adjust the horizon reflection in the left rearview mirror to the middle of the mirror, and adjust the reflection of the left side of the car body to occupy one-quarter area on the right side of the mirror; 3. Adjust the horizon reflection in the right rearview mirror to two-thirds of the mirror height, and adjust the reflection of the right side of the car body to occupy one-quarter area on the left side of the mirror. The function of car rearview mirrors is to reflect the situation behind, beside, and below the car, expanding the driver's field of vision.

Adjusting the rearview mirrors is quite simple, but always remember safety first. First, sit properly in the driver's seat and adjust the backrest angle before adjusting the mirrors. For the left mirror, position the horizon in the middle, with the car body occupying about a quarter of the view. The center mirror should also have the horizon centered, covering the entire rear view. The right mirror is a bit trickier—lean slightly forward and sit upright to adjust it, also placing the horizon in the middle with the car body taking up a quarter. This reduces blind spots. Don’t forget to check the mirror angles before driving; if there’s any misalignment, make quick adjustments. I’ve gotten used to this routine on long drives, and it really widens the field of vision, significantly reducing accident risks. Practice this regularly on daily commutes to avoid focusing only on the car body and neglecting the road. Additionally, develop the habit of turning your head to check blind spots—then the rearview mirrors won’t just be for show.

How to Deal with Dirty Car Seats?

If you accidentally stain the car seats with lipstick or other dyes, or if sauces like ketchup spill on the seats or carpets, first use a cold, damp towel to wipe off most of the stain. Then, use a foam cleaner to remove any remaining residue. Here are additional tips: For liquid spills like coffee, cola, or ice cream, first blot the area with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture. Next, prepare a diluted ammonia solution by mixing one part 10% ammonia with ten parts water and use this solution to wipe the stain. For stubborn stains, use a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Finally, rinse the area with clean water to remove any chemical residue and immediately dry it with a cloth.

How to Clean Dirty Car Seat Belts?

Seat belts can be cleaned by evenly applying cleaning agents or soap on them, waiting for a short while, and then gently scrubbing with a soft-bristled brush like a shoe brush. Below is some information about car seat belts: 1. Definition: Car seat belts are the primary safety devices designed to protect adult passengers. In the event of an accidental collision or sudden braking, they can generate significant impact forces, potentially causing secondary collisions between the driver or passengers and objects inside the car such as the steering wheel or windshield, leading to serious injuries. 2. Function: Seat belts secure the occupants to the car seats, significantly reducing the distance of displacement and minimizing the injuries sustained by the occupants.

Is the pearl white paint sprayed at a 4S shop the original factory paint?

The paint sprayed at a 4S shop is not the original factory paint. The baking temperatures for repair paint and original factory paint differ. Original factory paint is a high-temperature paint, baked at 200-300 degrees Celsius, while repair paint is a low-temperature paint, baked at only 70-80 degrees Celsius. Quality issues with the paint: The quality of the paint is reflected in aspects such as corrosion resistance, adhesion, wear resistance, and color. If the paint color is off or of poor quality, it becomes very difficult to match the original car color, leading to noticeable color differences after application. Spraying process issues: At repair shops, painting is generally done manually, and the occurrence of color differences is closely related to the technician's skill. Factors such as color ratio adjustment and spraying proficiency play a significant role. Vehicle age issue: Some vehicles are older, and their body paint has been exposed to wind, sun, and rain for a long time, often resulting in aging and darkening. When new paint is applied over old paint, it creates a stark contrast, making the color difference appear very noticeable.

How fast can you drive in a 60 km/h average speed check zone?

According to regulations, if the driving speed exceeds the speed limit by less than 10%, only a warning will be issued without penalty points. Therefore, the maximum speed in a 60 km/h average speed check zone can be 66 km/h, but it's best to maintain a speed below 60 km/h throughout the entire zone. Not exceeding 10%: When driving through an average speed check zone, keeping your speed within 10% of the limit is relatively safer. For safe driving, it's recommended not to exceed the speed limit as speeding poses significant risks. Driving at the prescribed speed is safer and allows for better handling of unexpected situations, reducing potential losses. Taking a break: Average speed check zones on highways are generally long. If you find yourself speeding during such a zone, you can make a stop at a service area. This is because average speed checks calculate the travel time between two measurement points. If there's a service area along the way, this method can be tried. However, never stop on the emergency lane if there's no service area. This approach isn't recommended - it's safer to drive at the prescribed speed, especially on highways where speeding carries high risks. Always control your speed to prevent traffic accidents.
