Car rearview mirrors include the central, right, and rear mirrors. Below are the specific angles for these three types of mirrors: 1. Central rearview mirror. The ground should occupy half of the mirror, and the sky should also occupy half. 2. Right rearview mirror. The sky should occupy only one-quarter of the right car rearview mirror, and the car body should also occupy one-quarter of the mirror. 3. Left rearview mirror. Using the horizon as a reference, adjust the mirror so that the sky and ground each occupy half. Then, adjust the left and right angles so that the car body occupies about one-quarter of the mirror surface.

I think the key to adjusting car mirrors is ensuring driving safety and minimizing blind spots. The left side mirror should be adjusted so that the car body occupies about one-quarter of the view, with most of the space showing the road, allowing you to see vehicles behind. The right side mirror should be slightly tilted outward to cover more blind spots, helping avoid collisions when changing lanes. The interior rearview mirror should be centered to cover the entire rear window. Before driving, first adjust the seat to a comfortable position, then adjust the mirrors. Test the blind spots by reversing in a parking lot to ensure there are no dead zones in the side mirrors. Many accidents stem from improperly adjusted mirrors, so taking a few minutes to fine-tune them can significantly improve safety.

After years of driving sedans, I've found that rearview mirror angles aren't that complicated, but they must be practical. The left mirror should show just a corner of the car body, with the rest being the road view; the right mirror should be angled slightly more outward, especially for city driving to minimize blind spots; the interior rearview mirror should be centered to see the full view behind. Remember to adjust the mirrors only after settling into your fixed seating position, otherwise it's easy to get confused. On highways, minor adjustments help see the lane-changing environment clearly – simple actions prevent big troubles. Beginners can practice adjusting while driving slowly in residential areas to get the feel.

Adjusting the mirrors is actually quite simple: First, sit firmly in the driver's seat. The left mirror should show just a small portion of the car body, with the main focus on the road. The right mirror should be angled slightly more outward, showing less of the car body to cover the blind spot. The interior rearview mirror should be centered to cover the rear window. This method ensures clear visibility for daily driving, and beginners can quickly get the hang of it.

Can I Still Drive When Prompted to Change the Engine Oil?

You can still drive when prompted to change the engine oil, but avoid driving long distances and replace the oil as soon as possible. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To separate the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear; 2. To bring heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, helping the radiator cool the engine; 3. To circulate carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank, flushing away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of the lubricating oil. Signs that indicate the need for an oil change include: 1. Checking the oil viscosity—if there is no viscosity, the oil needs to be changed; 2. The oil color turns black; 3. Excessive black particles, metal shavings, or carbon deposits in the oil; 4. The oil has an unusual smell.
