The car owner should immediately report the incident to the police, who will then assist in locating the responsible party. It is also important to thoroughly document the accident scene, including the exact location where the incident occurred. Reporting to the police allows them to review nearby surveillance footage to track down the perpetrator. If the traffic police identify the responsible party, the matter is straightforward: the other party should provide compensation.

What is the tutorial for removing the exterior rearview mirror of a Jetta?

The tutorial for removing the exterior rearview mirror of a Jetta is: 1. First, remove the reflective mirror of the rearview mirror. Do not smash it directly, as broken glass at the edges can be difficult to extract and may cause cuts. Wear gloves and use a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry the top of the mirror from the gap between the mirror and the housing. Once pried, grasp the top and slowly pull it out. 2. Unscrew the screws located at the edge, middle, and bottom. 3. After unscrewing the screws, remove the middle component, and the exterior rearview mirror will be detached. The exterior rearview mirror is essential for ensuring personal safety and preventing accidents, as it must be installed and adjustable. Its functionality becomes evident during rainy weather when visibility is poor, allowing better observation of the rear situation through the mirror without blind spots. Drivers sitting inside the car cannot see the rear situation, and the exterior rearview mirror effectively resolves this issue.

Do You Need to Turn on AC in Car Air Conditioning During Winter?

You do not need to turn on AC in car air conditioning during winter. The reason why the car air conditioner does not use the compressor for heating is that the heat generated by the engine operation is absorbed by the coolant outside the cylinder. The heated coolant then flows to the heat exchanger, where the heat carried by the coolant is released, heating the cold air entering the car. This heated air is then sent into the car to provide warmth. The only time you need to use AC when using the heater is to defog the windows. In winter, the ambient temperature is low, and it is common to close all windows and turn on the internal circulation while driving. The downside is that the humidity inside the car will increase, leading to fogging on the windows. Turning on AC will quickly remove the fog.
