Car rearview mirrors are convex mirrors, which have a light-dispersing effect, providing a wider field of vision compared to flat mirrors and enhancing safety. Rearview mirrors can be categorized by installation location into: exterior rearview mirrors, lower rearview mirrors, and interior rearview mirrors. By purpose, the exterior rearview mirrors show the rear sides of the car, the lower rearview mirrors display the area in front and below the car, and the interior rearview mirrors reflect the rear of the car and the interior conditions. The functions of car rearview mirrors include: 1. Observing passengers in the back seat through the central rearview mirror, especially when there are children; 2. Estimating the distance between vehicles via the central rearview mirror—when the rear car's front wheels are just visible in the mirror, the distance is about 13 meters; when the grille is visible, it's approximately 6 meters; and when the grille is just out of sight, the distance is about 4 meters.

Should You Press the Accelerator When Driving Straight?

You should not press the accelerator when driving straight. Below are detailed techniques for keeping the car straight: 1. Hold the steering wheel steady and straight: First, ensure the steering wheel is properly aligned, avoid making large turns, and keep the wheel steady. 2. Find suitable reference points on the road: Learn to identify appropriate reference points on the road to help maintain straight driving over time. Examples include the centerline of the road and the roadside markings. 3. Looking far ahead makes it easier to drive straight: Beginners often struggle to keep the car straight on wide roads. This is because the expansive space and broad view can weaken the perception of roadside and marking references.

Why Does the Car Steering Wheel Become Heavier?

The reasons for a car steering wheel becoming heavier are: 1. The power steering fluid is dirty. Generally, if the steering wheel becomes heavier after 2 to 3 years of driving, it's time to change the fluid; 2. Power steering fluid leakage. A decrease in fluid can also cause the steering to become heavier; 3. If the bearings in the steering system are too tight, the tie rod end is adjusted too tightly, or the steering shaft and sleeve are bent causing jamming, these can all make the steering wheel heavier. If no issues are found after checking the power steering system, you can check if the tires are underinflated. Underinflated tires increase the contact area and friction with the ground, which can also lead to a heavier steering wheel.

Is it necessary to install a radiator guard for motorcycles?

This depends on the model and usage conditions. For general commuting motorcycles, it is not necessary to install a radiator guard because the possibility of the radiator being hit or damaged is extremely low. However, for motorcycles with exposed radiators that operate in harsh conditions and environments, installing a guard may be considered based on the situation. Relevant information about motorcycles is as follows: 1. Introduction: Motorcycles are powered by gasoline engines and are two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicles steered by handlebars. They are lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrol, passenger and cargo transportation, and also serve as sports equipment. 2. Classification: Motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, touring bikes, etc.

What are the symptoms of difficult cold starts in cars?

Symptoms of difficult cold starts in cars: 1. Faulty fuel pressure regulator; 2. Coolant temperature too low; 3. Excessive carbon buildup and fuel injector malfunction. Solutions: 1. Check fuel pressure and determine the fault location by inspecting the fuel pressure regulator; 2. Replace antifreeze in a timely manner according to climate changes; 3. The issue may disappear after the engine warms up. When there is excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector can be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making it difficult to start. Only when the carbon deposits become saturated with gasoline does the car start easily.

What Causes Abnormal Noise When Turning the Car?

Reasons for abnormal noise when turning the car: 1. Friction between plastic parts: The steering wheel is usually made of plastic components. If the temperature drops, the plastic may harden, naturally leading to friction noise; 2. Steering gear failure: If the noise during steering is very loud, it might be caused by excessive gear clearance in the steering gear, requiring replacement of the steering gear; 3. Dirty power steering fluid: If the power steering fluid is too dirty, it increases the pressure in the power system, causing a buzzing noise from the power steering pump. Therefore, the power steering fluid should be replaced promptly; 4. Improper tension or aging of the power belt: For mechanical hydraulic power steering, if the power belt is improperly tensioned or aged, it will produce abnormal noise. Adjust the belt tension or replace the belt.
