There is no difference between a rearview mirror and a side mirror. Rearview mirrors are divided into the central rearview mirror, the left side mirror, and the right side mirror. The term "side mirror" is a general name for rearview mirrors in different positions. Below is a related introduction to rearview mirrors: 1. Central rearview mirror: Position it horizontally in the middle and align it with the left ear. 2. Left side mirror: When adjusting the up and down positions, place the distant horizon in the center, and adjust the left and right positions so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's surface. 3. Right side mirror: When adjusting the up and down positions, leave a larger area for the ground, occupying about 2/3 of the mirror's surface.

How to Use the Automatic Parking Feature in Volkswagen Tiguan L?

Tiguan L automatic parking usage method: 1. When approaching a parking space, first activate the automatic parking function, then control the vehicle to move parallel to the roadside vehicles at a speed below 30km/h. 2. When a suitable parking position is detected, the onboard computer will prompt the driver to shift into R gear. 3. After shifting into R gear, the automatic parking assist system will control the vehicle to complete parking into the space. Here are the relevant precautions: 1. During the automatic parking operation of the Tiguan L, the driver needs to use the brake to control the speed. If the speed is too fast, there is still a risk of accidents. 2. Note that after the automatic parking starts, do not touch the steering wheel manually, otherwise the automatic parking process will automatically end. 3. During the automatic parking process, the speed must be controlled within a certain limit, otherwise the process will automatically end.

How to Solve Drowsiness While Driving?

Here are specific methods to avoid drowsiness while driving: 1. Use the external air circulation more often. If the car remains in internal air circulation for a long time, the overall air quality inside the car will decrease, and the oxygen level will be particularly low. This can lead to brain hypoxia, which easily causes drowsiness. Therefore, it's advisable to use internal circulation more frequently or alternate between internal and external circulation to let fresh air in, which can help refresh the mind. 2. Keep mentholatum or essential balm handy. Apply some mentholatum or essential balm to your temples to stimulate nerve sensations. 3. Expand your field of vision to relax the optic nerves. Staring straight ahead for a long time can easily lead to fatigue. Besides regularly checking the rearview mirror, you can also occasionally glance at the slightly broader surroundings to give your eyes some relief.

What kind of adhesive should be used for exhaust pipe leaks?

When there is a leak in the exhaust pipe, simply using adhesive for repair is not feasible. After all, the temperature of the exhaust pipe is quite high, which reduces the adhesive's bonding capability. Over time, leaks may still occur. Here are some relevant details: 1. Location: The impact of an exhaust pipe leak depends on its specific location. If the leak is at the tail end, it may not have any effect. 2. Weak acceleration: If the leak is at the front section, it can lead to a decrease in exhaust back pressure, resulting in reduced torque at low speeds and weaker acceleration, indirectly increasing fuel consumption. However, at high speeds, the exhaust flow becomes smoother, potentially improving power. Exhaust pipe leaks have a greater impact on turbocharged models and a lesser effect on naturally aspirated engines.

What is the tire pressure for 205/55r16?

205/55r16 tires recommend a pressure of 2.4-2.5 bar. Below are specific details on adjusting tire pressure: 1. There are slight differences in tire pressure for different models and vehicles. The most accurate information can be found on the fuel tank cap, the side of the driver's door, or in the user manual. 2. Depending on the season, in winter, it is advisable to increase the tire pressure by about 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure. In summer, if the car is parked outdoors, the pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent blowouts due to high temperatures. 3. When the car is empty or half-loaded, follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. When fully loaded, follow the upper limit of the standard tire pressure. The setting of tire pressure mainly considers vehicle factors such as body weight and chassis height, and is not necessarily related to the brand of tires used.

Why does the car beep intermittently?

The reasons why the car beeps intermittently are as follows: 1. Seat belts not fastened properly: If the seat belts for the driver and front passenger are not properly fastened, a beeping warning sound will occur. 2. Handbrake not fully released: A beeping sound will be heard while the car is in motion. 3. Multimedia function not turned off. 4. Overheating coolant: When the coolant temperature is too high, it will trigger a beeping sound and the coolant warning light will illuminate. 5. Insufficient tire pressure: Electronic components monitor the tires, and if there is a leak or insufficient tire pressure, the information will be sent to the alarm system. 6. Low engine oil level: Insufficient engine oil will affect the operation between car components, prompting the alarm system to alert.
