What is the reason for not being able to see parallel cars in the rearview mirror?

Cars sometimes cannot see vehicles beside them in the side mirrors because they are in the blind spot. Since the driver's seat in China is positioned on the left, the blind spot on the right side of the car is larger than that on the left. Due to these blind spots on the right, it is recommended that vehicles follow the traffic rule of yielding to the right. Rearview mirrors can be classified by installation position: 1. Interior rearview mirror: The interior rearview mirror allows the driver to confirm the situation behind without significantly altering the forward line of sight while driving. 2. Exterior rearview mirrors: Passenger cars generally mount the exterior rearview mirrors on the doors. Some vehicles in Japan also mount them on the fenders. 3. Undercarriage mirror: This mirror enables the driver to see areas beyond the front and rear wheels under the car body from the driver's seat, helping the driver to check for people or obstacles near the wheels and the car body when reversing or starting forward, thus avoiding injuries, damage to objects or the vehicle, and providing convenience and safety to the driver.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2013 Livia?

2013 Livia has a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the 2013 Livia can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2013 Livia uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 6.1 to 6.3 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 825 to 852 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the automobile manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit. There is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is reserved to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked fuel tank capacity.

Can an automatic transmission car be shifted to neutral when stopping at a red light?

An automatic transmission car can be shifted to neutral when stopping at a red light, and you can also use P gear or D gear. Below are detailed introductions to these three gears: N gear: When the shift lever is placed in N gear, the power between the engine and the transmission is cut off and separated. This is suitable for brief stops such as waiting at a red light. To prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, it is recommended to step on the brake or pull the handbrake lever. P gear: P gear is the parking gear and can be engaged directly without stepping on the brake or pulling the handbrake. However, in the case of waiting at a red light, there is a risk of rear-end collisions. If the car is in P gear during a collision, it could cause damage to the transmission. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to use P gear in this situation. D gear: If the wait at the red light is very short, you can use D gear. However, if the stop is prolonged, it is best not to use D gear. This is because when the shift lever is in the driving position, automatic transmission cars typically have a slight tendency to move. Holding the brake for an extended period forcibly stops this tendency, causing the transmission fluid temperature to rise and the fluid to deteriorate more easily.

What is the full tank capacity of the Roewe RX5 in liters?

Roewe RX5 has a full tank capacity of 55 liters. The fuel tank volume refers to the size of the fuel tank and measures a vehicle's ability to carry fuel. The fuel tank volume determines the driving range; for two cars with identical engines, the one with the larger fuel tank can travel farther. The fuel tank consists of the tank body and the fuel tank cap, used to store gasoline. The number and capacity of fuel tanks vary by vehicle model. Ordinary cars typically have only one fuel tank, while off-road vehicles often have two fuel tanks.

How Does a Car Steering System Work?

When a car is turning, the torque sensor detects the steering wheel's torque and the intended turning direction. These signals are sent to the electronic control unit via the data bus. Based on the transmitted torque, intended direction, and other data signals, the control unit issues action commands to the motor controller. The motor then outputs the corresponding magnitude of turning torque as needed. The steering system mainly consists of the steering tube, steering wheel, steering shaft, and column. It is a control mechanism used to change the vehicle's direction of travel, functioning to control the driving direction according to the driver's intention.

Does Adding a Rear Spoiler Require Registration?

Adding a rear spoiler requires registration as it is considered a modification to the vehicle's exterior. If the spoiler is installed without proper registration, the traffic police department may impound the vehicle, confiscate the illegal modification, order restoration to the original condition, and impose penalties in accordance with the law. After the modification is completed, the vehicle's registration certificate must be updated with a new photo to reflect the changes, ensuring the vehicle can pass annual inspections and routine safety checks. The key requirement for installing a rear spoiler is that it must not exceed the overall dimensions of the vehicle. Rear spoilers are part of aerodynamic design, helping to increase downforce during high-speed driving, thereby improving stability. Additionally, a well-designed spoiler can reduce air resistance, contributing to better fuel efficiency to some extent.
