If one side of the automatic folding mirror cannot move automatically, it may be due to damaged gears or a disconnected circuit on that side, and it can be fixed at a repair shop. Below is relevant information about rearview mirrors: 1. Introduction to rearview mirrors: Rearview mirrors are tools that allow drivers to directly obtain external information about the rear, sides, and lower parts of the car while seated in the driver's seat. For the convenience of the driver and to prevent traffic safety accidents and ensure personal safety, all countries require that cars must be equipped with rearview mirrors, and all rearview mirrors must be adjustable in direction. 2. Installation of rearview mirrors: When designing rearview mirrors, the main design considerations include the field of view (indirect vision) that the rearview mirror can obtain, image distortion, image clarity, image size, the position of the image in the rearview mirror, etc., making it easy to adjust according to changes in the driver's viewpoint. Rearview mirrors should be installed in the position with the least vertical vibration on the vehicle.

Is it necessary to replace a cracked windshield?

Cracks in the windshield should be replaced promptly. Here is an introduction to windshields: 1. Introduction: The development of modern car exteriors is closely related to the advancement of glass technology. Over 40 years ago, car front windshields began using single-piece curved windshields, gradually replacing flat-type windshields. 2. Function: Laminated glass refers to a transparent adhesive plastic film sandwiched between two or three layers of glass, combining the toughness of plastic with the hardness of glass, thereby enhancing the glass's resistance to shattering. 3. History: As early as 80 years ago, glass was widely installed on Ford's Model T cars. At that time, flat glass was mounted at the front of the vehicle to protect drivers from wind and rain.

Odyssey ECON mode can be turned on. The biggest advantage of ECON mode is that it can save fuel consumption and reduce vehicle operating costs. When to turn on ECO: ECO works best when driving in congested urban road conditions. Turning on ECO mode in such situations can reduce fuel consumption and provide a more comfortable driving experience. When not to turn on ECO: 1. When the car is driving at high speed (up to 100km/h), even if ECO is turned on, the vehicle's computer will prioritize speed, and the ECO mode will automatically deactivate. 2.

Can I Get Compensation for Rainstorm Damage Without Purchasing Water Wading Insurance for My Car?

If you haven't purchased water wading insurance for your car, but have bought vehicle damage insurance, you can get compensation for rainstorm damage. If neither is purchased, compensation is not possible. Below is an extended introduction: 1. Introduction to water wading insurance: Engine special loss insurance is also referred to as water wading insurance. The scope of water wading insurance is relatively limited, generally covering various expenses arising from engine water ingress during normal driving, provided that the engine is not restarted after water ingress. However, relatively few people opt for this insurance, especially in northern regions. 2. Situations where water wading insurance refuses compensation: There is one situation where water wading insurance will not compensate for engine damage caused by driving through water, and that is 'secondary ignition.' Many car owners, after stalling in water, often attempt to restart the engine, which is undoubtedly 'adding insult to injury' for the engine. Water cannot be compressed, and restarting in water will draw water into the engine, causing severe damage to systems such as valves and piston rods. This is a man-made loss, and insurance companies have the right to refuse compensation.

Will a New Car Be Affected if Left in Heavy Rain for Two Days?

Leaving a new car outside in the rain can have negative effects. The acidic substances in rainwater can damage the car's paint; the vehicle's electrical circuits and ignition system are prone to moisture, leading to poor ignition and reduced engine performance; the chassis can also get soaked. Below are some maintenance tips for a car after exposure to rain: 1. Wash the car promptly: Urban rainwater is usually acidic and may carry sticky substances that adhere to the car once the water evaporates, making them difficult to remove. It's advisable to take the car to a 4S shop or a professional car detailing service for a thorough cleaning, paying special attention to removing sludge and debris from the gaps under the doors and inside the wheel hubs, and ensuring these areas remain dry. The undercarriage should also be cleaned thoroughly. 2. Paint care: Since rainwater often contains acidic substances that can corrode the car's glossy paint layer, and it may also carry invisible dust that can oxidize under sunlight, it's best to perform a paint treatment after rain. A simple and effective method is waxing. 3. Brake system maintenance: Most cars use a dual-circuit vacuum-assisted hydraulic braking system, and the brake fluid, which transmits braking force, is highly absorbent. If water enters the brake fluid, it can cause brake failure or even complete loss of braking. Therefore, during maintenance, it's essential to check the brake fluid and any water traces on the brake discs to ensure the safety of the driver and passengers.

What are the symptoms of a bad tensioner pulley?

The engine noise will suddenly increase when accelerating. Here is some relevant information about tensioner pulleys: 1. Working principle: The tensioner pulley is a belt drive tensioning device. When the center distance of the belt cannot be adjusted, a tensioner pulley can be used to tighten the belt. The tensioner pulley is a follower wheel that presses against the belt to change the wrap angle of the pulley or control the belt tension, serving as the tensioning device for belt drives. 2. Application: The tensioner pulley is a tensioning device for adjusting belt drive systems, so it is generally used in engines of machinery such as electric motors, automobiles, conveyors, and lifting equipment. Tensioner pulleys are mainly used in belt drive systems where the center distance cannot be adjusted, such as V-belt drive systems.
