The interior rearview mirror is used to observe the movements of vehicles behind and monitor the rear road conditions. Below are the related introductions about the purposes of the interior rearview mirror: 1. Observing the movements of vehicles behind: When there is an emergency situation ahead that requires braking, check the interior rearview mirror to see if there is a vehicle following too closely. Based on the distance from the vehicle in front, you can slightly ease off the brake or consider changing lanes to leave enough space for the vehicle behind. 2. Monitoring the rear road conditions: When you need to change lanes, signal your intention in advance, then use the interior rearview mirror to observe the situation of vehicles behind. Confirm it is safe before changing lanes. If you notice a vehicle behind has signaled or shows an intention to change lanes, be cautious and yield. Alternatively, if you spot a heavy-duty truck behind through the rearview mirror, you can change lanes to avoid potential danger.

The rearview mirror has been my reliable assistant throughout my driving years, especially in terms of safe driving. Whenever changing lanes on the highway, I habitually glance at the mirror to quickly assess the distance and speed of vehicles behind me, avoiding potential rear-end collisions. In rainy or snowy weather, when the side mirrors tend to get blurry, the rearview mirror provides a clearer image, helping me monitor whether any skidding vehicles are approaching. In congested city traffic, I often use it to watch for sudden braking signals from vehicles behind me, giving myself ample reaction time. Once during a long night drive, its anti-glare function saved the day by blocking out blinding headlights. Developing the habit of checking it every five to six seconds significantly enhances alertness; I also use it to check the back seat, such as whether my child has fastened the seatbelt, reducing distractions from turning around. Overall, it's not just a mirror but a crucial component of road safety that both novice and experienced drivers should use frequently.

Will a Car Get Damaged by Sun Exposure?

It is rare for a car to be damaged by sun exposure. Here are the effects of prolonged exposure to sunlight: Vehicle Aging: Extended exposure to sunlight can accelerate the aging of plastic components in the vehicle. Examples include the dashboard with numerous wiring, car doors, and the sealing rings around the sunroof. Particularly, sealing rings are prone to aging and cracking after prolonged sun exposure, significantly reducing their sealing performance, which may lead to water leakage or seepage. Significant Safety Hazards: Flammable items should not be left inside the car, especially lighters. Lighters exposed to prolonged sunlight inside the car may explode, posing serious safety risks.

How Long Can a Vehicle Go Without Inspection?

A vehicle can go without inspection for up to three months. If the inspection is overdue for less than three months, you can simply make up for it and will receive a verbal warning without a fine. If the inspection is overdue for more than three months but less than two years, you will need to pay a fine and receive a 3-point penalty. If the vehicle has not been inspected for more than two years, its registration file will be canceled. A vehicle is considered overdue for inspection once it exceeds the validity period of the inspection. Vehicle inspections can be conducted up to three months in advance. If a vehicle is driven on the road without undergoing the required periodic safety inspection, a 3-point penalty will be imposed, along with a warning or fine. According to Article 49 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles": The owner of a motor vehicle may apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office of the registration location up to three months before the expiration of the inspection validity period. According to Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": If a motor vehicle driver violates the road traffic safety laws or regulations regarding road traffic rules, they shall be given a warning or fined. If other provisions of this law apply, penalties shall be imposed accordingly. According to Article 16 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motor vehicles shall undergo safety inspections at the following intervals from the date of registration: Passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, once every 6 months; trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, once every 6 months; small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, once a year; after 15 years, once every 6 months; motorcycles must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 4 years; after 4 years, once a year; tractors and other motor vehicles must be inspected once a year. If a commercial motor vehicle passes the safety inspection within the specified inspection period, it does not need to undergo another safety inspection.

What brand is Atrezzo tires?

Atrezzo is a renowned tire tread series product under the Sailun brand. This series of tires, whether on dry surfaces or muddy roads, features a unique tread design, robust tire shoulders, and a special formula in the tire materials, enhancing the tire's handling performance and braking characteristics. The company's predecessor was the Qingdao Sailun Radial Tire Information Production Demonstration Base Co., Ltd., established on November 18, 2002, located in the Fuyuan Industrial Park, Qingdao Economic and Technological Development Zone, covering an area of approximately 611 acres. It is a domestic brand. However, unlike other domestic brands, Sailun focuses on a globalized industrial layout, having established factories in Qingdao, Dongying, and Shenyang, and sales centers in the Americas, Europe, Australia, and other regions. Methods for tire maintenance: Enhance awareness of tire safety and inspect tires more frequently. Regularly correct wheel balance; unbalanced wheels can cause high-frequency oscillations during high-speed driving, leading to uneven tire wear. Perform regular tire rotation. To ensure even wear on all tires of the same vehicle, rotate the tires every 5,000 kilometers. In daily use, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks can be potential hazards for tire blowouts during high-speed driving. Additionally, immediately remove pebbles from the grooves. Park on flat ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this operation accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water for cooling. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and pressure increases. In such cases, stop to dissipate heat. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool down, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent use of brakes and emergency stops to prevent accelerated tread wear due to dragging between the tire and the ground.

What is the normal temperature range for a car engine?

Under normal circumstances, the normal operating temperature of a car engine ranges between 85-105 degrees Celsius. The normal operating temperatures for an engine are as follows: 1. The normal operating temperature of a car engine is between 85-105 degrees Celsius. 2. Generally, under maximum load (full throttle), the intake air temperature for most car engines ranges between 0 to 80 degrees Celsius. 3. For turbocharged engines, the intake air temperature can reach 80 degrees Celsius in summer. During the compression stroke, the temperature rises continuously to 500-600 degrees Celsius. The compression process involves heat transfer to the cylinder walls. After ignition, localized peak temperatures can reach 2000 degrees Celsius or higher. The average exhaust gas temperature is approximately 800-1000 degrees Celsius.
