In real-world road driving, the safest method is to keep the vehicle centered in the lane. Here are the ways to align the car with the center of the road: 1. Check the rearview mirrors: Adjust the seat first, then adjust the rearview mirrors. For the left rearview mirror, use the horizon as a reference—adjust the vertical angle so that the sky and ground each occupy half of the mirror. Next, adjust the horizontal angle so that the car body occupies about 1/4 of the mirror's surface. After adjusting the mirrors this way, observe the lane lines through the mirrors. The left lane line should appear at the bottom center of the left mirror, while the right lane line should appear at the bottom right corner of the right mirror. At this point, the vehicle is positioned exactly in the center of the road. 2. Observe the position between the A-pillar and the dashboard: When the angle between the A-pillar and the dashboard aligns with the left lane line, the vehicle is centered on the road.

What are the steps for adding coolant?

When the large reservoir is filled to approximately 4kg and the small reservoir to around 2kg, start the engine and turn on the heater to expel any moisture and air. While keeping the engine running, continue adding coolant until it reaches the normal operating level. Do not add the coolant too quickly. Monitor the process dynamically while filling to prevent spills or leaks.

Is It Normal for an Automatic Transmission to Make a Clicking Sound When Shifting to Reverse?

A very slight clicking sound is normal because the reverse lock mechanism engages when shifting into reverse gear. Therefore, a faint clicking sound may occur. However, if the sound is loud, it is necessary to inspect the reverse lock mechanism. It is recommended to visit a repair shop for a check-up. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. Automatic Transmission: As the name suggests, it eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. 2. Automatic transmission vehicles typically have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low). Driving an automatic car using only P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive) gears can fully meet general driving needs. However, in certain special driving conditions, other functional gears may be required. Therefore, with the correct operation and control, an automatic transmission car can perform better than a manual one. 3. Engine power is transmitted through the transmission: The transmission is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume over 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Regardless of whether it's a manual or automatic transmission, more gears usually result in better fuel efficiency.

Why does the car alarm go off for no reason?

The reasons why the car alarm goes off for no reason are as follows: 1. Controller failure: It may be a fault in the alarm itself or a fault in the triggered sensor. 2. The trigger sensitivity is too high: irregular alarms will interrupt rest. 3. The door switch, hood switch, or trunk switch is closed: the door is not closed tightly. The trigger wire is grounded, which means the wire is short-circuited. It will keep sounding until the battery runs out of power. In such cases, you can adjust the sensitivity of the alarm on the anti-theft control box. Generally, the anti-theft control box is installed under the dashboard. After disassembling, you can see it, and there is a spiral knob on it that can be rotated to adjust the sensitivity. It is recommended to reduce the sensitivity to a state where the car does not alarm when you kick the tire. When parking, it is recommended to use the silent mode of the anti-theft device. The anti-theft device can still prevent theft even without sound. When the control circuit starts the car abnormally, it will automatically cut off the power and sound the alarm, activating the audible anti-theft mode. If the anti-theft device detects continuous vibration and keeps sounding, it will affect others' rest and consume the car's power.

Steps for Driving and Parking Operations?

First, confirm the parking environment of the car to check for any safety hazards. The parking space should be spacious enough to avoid obstructing the opening of car doors and the entry and exit of passengers. For manual transmission cars, press the brake pedal, then press the clutch pedal to cut off power transmission and bring the car to a complete stop. For automatic transmission cars, simply press the brake pedal to stop the car. For manual transmission cars, shift the gear into neutral, release the clutch pedal, and engage the handbrake. For automatic transmission cars, shift into the parking gear (P) and engage the handbrake or press the electronic parking brake.
