Here are the distances required to avoid collision when turning a car: 1. The safe turning distance varies by vehicle model: Generally, a safe turning distance must be at least 1.5 meters for most vehicles, with larger vehicles requiring additional safety distance. 2. Methods to judge the distance between cars: (1) When the upper edge of the rear bumper of the car in front is visible, the distance is approximately 1m; (2) When the lower edge of the rear bumper of the car in front is visible, the distance is approximately 2m; (3) When the lower edge of the rear tires of the car in front is visible, the distance is approximately 3m. If the bumper of the car in front is not visible, do not turn; instead, brake and check the distance by getting out of the car.

How to Turn Off Car Lights?

The method to turn off car lights is to rotate the light button to the OFF or O position. Some models have the switch on the lever, while others have it on a button. Taking Volkswagen models as an example: Volkswagen's light switch is a button-type switch, and turning on the headlights requires rotating the button. In Japanese models, lever-type switches are more common, with the lever located below the left side of the steering wheel. Car lights refer to the lamps on the vehicle, serving as tools for road illumination during nighttime driving and as signal indicators for various driving conditions. Car lights include width indicator lights, low beams, high beams, fog lights, daytime running lights, turn signals, and hazard lights.

What to Do If It Rains After Windshield Replacement?

If it rains after replacing the windshield, the rear seats should be dried promptly, and the leaking area should be sealed. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. The workers installing the windshield usually remind the car owner not to expose the car to water within a day after replacement, meaning no rain or car washing. The reason is that the adhesive needs time to dry naturally after windshield replacement to ensure the stability of the newly installed glass. During car washing, high-pressure water jets used by car washers can loosen the improperly fixed glass, potentially leading to water leakage and interior damage. 2. Automotive glass adhesive typically dries within 1 to 2 hours after application, but it takes 24 hours to fully cure and achieve maximum strength. If the adhesive surface gets wet within 24 hours, it may cause the adhesive to fail.

What is Auto Hold

Auto Hold refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this feature, for example when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of manual or electronic parking brakes. For automatic transmission models, it also reduces the frequent switching between D to N or D to P gears. The Auto Hold function includes the following: 1. During short stops like at traffic lights, the system automatically brakes the wheels after the vehicle comes to a complete stop to prevent rolling; 2. When starting on an uphill, the system automatically applies the brakes to prevent rolling back, and releases the wheels to move forward once starting; 3. When parking and locking the car, there's no need to pull the handbrake as the system automatically brakes the wheels, though this is only available in certain models.

How to Change Car Paint Color?

To change the car paint color, you need to prepare relevant documents such as ID card and vehicle license, and clean the car body in advance for photographing and appearance inspection when modifying the vehicle license. Remember to verify the vehicle information and clear any traffic violations beforehand. The appearance inspection process is the same as the annual inspection. If there are any appearance modifications that fail the inspection, they need to be restored to the original factory condition in advance. The vehicle management office has a color change application form in the business hall. After completing the form, submit it to the processing window and wait for approval to receive a new vehicle license. The color of the car paint has no relation to its durability, but the original factory paint and post-purchase paint care do. Typically, the lifespan of original factory paint can last at least 10 years, and paint care can also extend the paint's lifespan, depending on the specific paint care items.

Where is the turn signal switch located in the car?

The turn signal switch in the car is located below the left side of the steering wheel, featuring a lever. Pushing it downward activates the left turn signal, while pushing it upward activates the right turn signal. Returning it to the middle position turns it off. The turn signal is an essential indicator light that is activated when a motor vehicle is turning, alerting surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. The turn signal bulb uses a xenon tube, controlled by a microcontroller circuit, flashing alternately left and right without interruption. The turn signal is frequently used to clearly indicate the intended direction of the vehicle to others on the road.

Why Can't the Accord Rear Door Be Opened from Inside?

It cannot be opened because the child lock is engaged; simply disengage the child lock to open the door. Here is some information about the child lock: 1. The Honda Accord child lock, also known as the door lock child safety feature, is located on the rear door lock. When the rear door is opened, there is a small lever (safety mechanism) below the door lock. Move the lever toward the end with the child icon, then close the door. At this point, the door cannot be opened from the inside but can only be opened from the outside. 2. The purpose of the child lock is to prevent active and unaware children from opening the door while the car is moving, thereby avoiding danger. This means the door can only be opened from the outside by an adult after the car is parked. If the rear door of your car cannot be opened from the inside but can be opened from the outside, it is highly likely that the child lock is engaged. In this case, passengers in the rear seat may have accidentally activated the safety mechanism while getting in or out of the car. Simply reset it to resolve the issue. 3. Safety Reminder: For car owners without children, the child safety lock may seem like an unnecessary and often overlooked vehicle feature. However, for car owners with children, the child safety lock is a crucial safeguard for their child's life. Many parents often allow children to sit in the front seat, which is not equipped with a child safety lock, or fail to activate the rear seat safety lock, both of which pose serious safety risks to children. Therefore, parents should take proper in-car safety measures for their children, correctly using the safety lock to prevent accidents.
