When reversing into a parking space, adjust the right rearview mirror to clearly see the right rear wheel, and the left rearview mirror should provide the farthest possible view while ensuring the car body is visible. Below are detailed instructions for reversing into a parking space: 1. Utilizing rearview mirrors: The driver's rearview mirror is a flat mirror, making it easier to judge the distance between the car body and rear obstacles and whether the car is parked straight. 2. Function of rearview mirrors: The passenger-side rearview mirror is a slightly curved convex mirror, primarily used to check for obstacles on the right side of the car during reversing. Adjusting its angle downward can provide a clearer view of the right-side road conditions. 3. Rearview mirror positioning: Whether it's the left or right exterior rearview mirror or the interior rearview mirror, ensure that the horizon is at the midpoint of the mirror's height when the driver is in a normal driving position. Additionally, the car body should occupy no more than one-quarter of the mirror's area in both exterior rearview mirrors.

When adjusting the optimal angle for the rearview mirror during reversing, I prefer to have the ground occupy one-third of the mirror and the sky two-thirds. This allows clear visibility of the wheels and obstacles behind, with just the edge of the car body visible in the mirror. The key is to see the curb and parking lines. When adjusting the left rearview mirror, ensure you can glimpse the left rear wheel and ground markings; the right rearview mirror should have a slightly larger angle due to the driver's seat being on the left, resulting in a larger blind spot on the right. When backing into a parking space, you can tilt the rearview mirror downward slightly to focus more on the ground, avoiding tire scrapes or hitting low obstacles. Remember to secure the driver's seat position before adjusting, or the angle will change each time.

At how many kilometers can a new car run on the highway?

A new car can run on the highway after 2,500 kilometers. By this mileage, the engine's internal oil film has formed, providing better protection for the engine during driving. Before running on the highway, it is advisable to change the engine oil and oil filter to avoid any abnormalities during high-speed driving. The main purpose of running a new car on the highway is to allow the engine to operate in a better environment. The duration of high-speed driving does not need to be too long; generally, 10 to 20 minutes is sufficient. For cars with engines above 1.5 liters, the speed should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour within the first 500 kilometers on the highway and should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour within the first 3,000 kilometers.

What are the causes of engine misfire in cars?

Car engine misfire can be caused by: 1. Excessive wear gap in engine cylinder liner piston rings; 2. Fuel injector wear; 3. Spark plug carbon buildup. Engine misfire refers to insufficient power caused by engine failure, resulting in lack of power, with situations where a minority of cylinders are not working. Engine misfire can shorten the service life of lubricating oil and may lead to sudden engine stall, increased fuel consumption, and black smoke emissions. An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, originating in the UK. It can refer to either power generation devices or the entire machine including power units, with types including internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, electric motors, etc.

What does it mean to add cleaning fluid?

Adding cleaning fluid refers to the need to replenish the windshield washer fluid when it runs out. Windshield washer fluid is a consumable item in vehicle use, and some car models can detect the remaining level of the washer fluid. When the windshield washer fluid is depleted, the vehicle will alert the owner to add more promptly to avoid affecting normal usage. Windshield washer fluid is primarily composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. When the transparency of the front windshield decreases, spraying some washer fluid can provide a clear and bright view. During nighttime driving, dust on the windshield can scatter light, so spraying washer fluid helps maintain the windshield in optimal transparency.

What Components Make Up a Car Air Conditioning System?

A car air conditioning system consists of components such as the compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, and piping. The car air conditioning system is designed to cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the vehicle cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and enhancing driving safety. The presence of an air conditioning system has become one of the indicators for evaluating whether a car is fully equipped. Generally, a car air conditioning system includes cooling, heating, and ventilation devices. This integrated system efficiently utilizes the limited space inside the vehicle, featuring a simple structure and ease of operation, making it the internationally prevalent modern car air conditioning system.

Do Snow Chains Damage Tires?

Snow chains do cause damage to tires because the force is mutual. While increasing tire traction, the adhesion coefficient between the tire and the snow chain also rises, naturally leading to tire wear. Additionally, the noise generated during driving becomes more noticeable. Snow chains are made of steel or rubber chains and serve an anti-slip function. They can be structurally categorized into two types: 1. Pre-connected cover-type snow chains; 2. Cross-installed individual snow chains. Car tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working with the car suspension to mitigate impacts during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving.
