Adjusting the time on my GL8 is quite simple. First, start the car without turning it off, then locate the control button on the steering wheel or tap the settings icon on the central display screen, where you'll find the clock option. Once inside, use the directional buttons to adjust the hours and minutes, and press confirm once set. Make sure to park the car for safety while doing this—don’t get distracted while driving. Older GL8 models might require repeatedly pressing buttons, while newer ones with touchscreens are more convenient. Inaccurate time could be due to low battery voltage causing an automatic reset, so after replacing the battery, you’ll need to reset the time. Regularly checking the battery can help avoid such hassles. Personally, I find accurate time settings crucial for a family car like the GL8, especially for punctual school pickups. The process isn’t difficult, but it does require attention to detail.

What to Do When There's Fog on the Car on Rainy Days?

Solutions for fog on the car on rainy days: 1. Lower the window slightly, open a gap to reduce the temperature difference inside and outside the car, and the fog inside will disappear; 2. Turn on the air conditioning, use the internal circulation, adjust the air outlet to blow on the glass, and the fog inside the car can be completely removed; 3. Adjust the switch to the warm air position, set the air volume as high as possible, adjust the air outlet to blow on the glass, and the temperature inside the car will rise soon, preventing fog from forming on the glass; 4. For fog on the side windows, simply adjust the air outlet near the side window to avoid direct blowing on the side window glass; 5. Fog may also form on the outside of the front windshield, which can generally be resolved by spraying some windshield washer fluid and wiping it off.

Does it have an impact if the wheels are not straightened when parking?

Parking with the wheels not straightened has the following impacts: 1. Accelerated aging of the steering tie rod: The tie rod remains under force for a long time and cannot return to its original position, which accelerates aging over time; 2. Accelerated aging of the power steering pump: When the hydraulic resistance system's power steering pump pushes oil and there is no return action, it causes negative pressure in the power steering pump, leading to accelerated aging over time; 3. The suspension will tilt towards the direction the wheels are not straightened, accelerating the wear of soft-support rubber pads and rubber sleeves; 4. For the tire sidewalls, not straightening the wheels increases the force on the tire sidewalls, accelerating their wear, which may lead to dangerous situations like tire blowouts over time.

Do cars need antifreeze in summer?

Do cars need antifreeze in summer? Antifreeze is not only used in winter, it should be used all year round. The antifreeze in the engine has functions such as antifreeze, anti-corrosion, and is not affected by seasons or regions. The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning coolant with antifreeze function. Antifreeze has the following advantages: 1. It provides anti-corrosion protection for cooling system components; 2. It prevents scale and avoids reducing the heat dissipation effect of the radiator; 3. It ensures that the engine can operate within the normal temperature range. When using antifreeze, try to use the same brand of antifreeze. Most antifreeze products have a validity period of two years, so make sure the product is within its validity period when adding it.

How to Stop a Car Alarm from Sounding?

Methods to stop a car alarm from sounding: 1. Use the key to open the car door, then wait a few minutes, and the alarm will stop; 2. Below the steering wheel, there is a fuse for the alarm—removing it will stop the alarm, but make sure not to pull the wrong fuse; 3. Install a manual switch for the alarm and turn it off when not in use. If a car alarm suddenly goes off by itself, it is likely because the sensitivity of the anti-theft device is too high, causing it to trigger an alarm at the slightest vibration. It could also be due to an issue with the wiring of the anti-theft device's main unit, requiring timely inspection, repair, or replacement. However, whether it's checking the wiring or replacing the alarm, it's best to leave it to professionals to handle.

What is the principle of a manual transmission?

Manual transmission works by moving the gear lever to engage different combinations of gears of varying sizes with the power output shaft, thereby altering the torque and speed of the drive wheels. Due to the difference in gear sizes, when gears of different sizes are combined, the rotation ratio of one gear is higher than that of the other during operation, resulting in different output speeds when the gear lever is shifted. A typical manual transmission consists of five gears and is mainly composed of the housing, input shaft, output shaft, gears, synchronizer, shift linkage, and shift fork. The transmission has three primary functions: 1. Changing the transmission ratio; 2. Enabling the vehicle to move in reverse; 3. Allowing the use of neutral gear to start the engine or keep it idling.

What is the correct sequence for parking a manual transmission car?

The correct sequence for parking a manual transmission car is: When parking, first press the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle. When the vehicle speed is very low, press the clutch pedal. After the car comes to a complete stop, shift into neutral, engage the handbrake, and then turn off the engine. When driving a manual transmission car, if the speed is high, you should not press the clutch pedal directly, as this is dangerous. Only after pressing the brake pedal to reduce speed and waiting until the speed is very low can you press the clutch pedal. When starting a manual transmission car, use the half-clutch technique to ensure a smooth start. When using the half-clutch technique, be mindful of the duration, as keeping the clutch in a half-engaged state for too long can easily lead to clutch plate burnout.
