The reasons for not being able to see the tire in the left rearview mirror of a car are as follows: Issues with the car itself: The wheelbase of the two front wheels is too small, or the waistline of the car body is protruding. You can adjust the rearview mirror. Some cars have a feature where the rearview mirror tilts downward when reversing. If this feature is not available, adjust the rearview mirror to the downward position. Alternatively, you can install a small mirror on the rearview mirror and position it to see the tire. The left rearview mirror is not properly adjusted: This can also result in not being able to see the tire. In most cars, the driver's seat is on the left side, and the left rearview mirror is closest to the driver, making it easier to see the image in the left rearview mirror. Therefore, adjusting the left rearview mirror properly is important. Generally, the horizontal line should be placed at the midline of the rearview mirror, and the edge of the car body should be adjusted to occupy one-fourth of the mirror's image. Try to move the viewing angle of the rearview mirror downward so that the left rear tire is visible, which is the optimal visual position.

What is the fuel consumption of the Sail 1.2?

The average fuel consumption of the Sail 1.2 is 7.8L/100KM. Here is some relevant information: 1. Vehicle fuel consumption: Vehicle fuel consumption mainly depends on engine technology, transmission gear ratio, vehicle aerodynamic drag coefficient, and the driving habits of the driver. The higher the thermal conversion efficiency of the engine, the lower its internal consumption, allowing more gasoline to be converted into the engine's rotational work output. 2. Fuel consumption and RPM: When driving normally, the RPM range is mostly between 1,000 and 3,000 RPM. The maximum RPM of an ordinary family car is usually around 6,000 RPM. During racing, maintaining operation at twice the maximum RPM of a family car (over 10,000 RPM) naturally results in very high fuel consumption.

Will Electric Vehicles Have Problems When Driving Through Deep Water?

Electric vehicles can encounter problems when driving through deep water, so it's best to avoid water whenever possible. Here are the correct methods for electric vehicles to navigate through water: 1. When there is standing water on the road: Ensure the road conditions are good, and if the water does not exceed half the height of the tires, slow down, observe the situation of the vehicle ahead, and pass through in sequence. 2. When encountering flooded sections: Regardless of the water depth, do not attempt to pass. The vehicle can easily be pushed off the road and swept into rapid currents, and the road surface beneath the water may already be completely damaged by the flow. 3. If you accidentally drive into deep water: If the vehicle begins to float, immediately open the doors to allow water to enter the cabin, which can reduce buoyancy and help the wheels regain traction on the ground. If you are certain that the water ahead is not too deep and the vehicle has not 'stalled,' continue moving forward to a safe area. If the vehicle has already stalled, this can also prevent a situation where the doors cannot be opened, making escape impossible. 4. After driving through water: Contact after-sales service and insurance immediately. Vehicles that have been through water may have many hidden dangers and should be thoroughly inspected before being driven again.

How to Operate a Chevrolet Automatic Transmission?

P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), L (Low), S (Sport), M (Manual), B (Brake). First, press the brake pedal, shift the gear to D (Drive), then push the gear lever towards the passenger side. The '+' paddle represents upshifting, and the '-' paddle represents downshifting. When going uphill, more power is needed, so you should use D- to downshift the vehicle. When going downhill, use D+ to shift up to 2nd/3rd gear.

How to Correct Hitting the Corner When Reversing into a Parking Space?

Speed control is crucial. Keep the vehicle moving as slowly as possible without stopping, which allows room for adjustment even if mistakes occur. After straightening the wheels by turning left, then turn the steering wheel fully to the right, immediately turn it back one and a half turns to the left, and make slight adjustments as needed to maintain roughly equal distance on both sides.

What to Do When the Car Sunroof Won't Open?

Check if the fuse of the electric sunroof has blown; inspect whether the sunroof switch is damaged; verify if the drive motor of the electric sunroof is functioning—listen for any sound of the motor working. Additionally, if the sunroof doesn't close tightly, it might be due to obstructions or deformities in the sunroof's sliding tracks, rust, or poor lubrication. Below are some car sunroof maintenance tips: 1. Pay attention to the condition of the sunroof rails: The electric sunroof works smoothly only when the rail mechanism is in a 'healthy state'—free from debris, deformities, and well-lubricated. Drivers should regularly check the sunroof rails. 2. Avoid excessive use of the sunroof: Although the sunroof is part of the car windows, its mechanical structure differs from that of the side windows, so it shouldn't be used too frequently. 3. Don't open the sunroof immediately in cold weather during winter: In northern regions, winters can be extremely cold. After a car has been parked overnight, the edges of the sunroof might freeze due to dew, making it temporarily impossible to open. In such cases, drivers should avoid opening the sunroof right away, as snow in the tracks can increase resistance, and forcing it could burn out the sunroof motor. 4. Avoid opening the sunroof on bumpy roads: It's best not to open the sunroof when driving on uneven terrain. Driving on rough roads not only makes passengers uncomfortable but can also easily cause damage to the sunroof.
