It should be installed as close to the interior rearview mirror as possible, as this location offers the widest field of view, making it the optimal mounting position. Additionally, ensure that the camera's shooting area is within the range of the windshield wipers to guarantee clear recordings during rainy weather. The installation location should also not interfere with the deployment range of the car's airbags. Below is an introduction to dash cams: 1. Function: To protect the legal rights of drivers. In case of a collision with pedestrians crossing the road or cyclists and motorcyclists, there is a risk of extortion. A dash cam can provide drivers with valid evidence. 2. Components: Main unit, speed sensor, data analysis software, infrared camera. 3. Purchasing tips: When purchasing, analyze product parameters such as the shooting angle, video resolution, compression format, cache, whether recording can be manually turned off, emergency recording, whether it interferes with other car electronics, and whether it comes with a memory card.

How old can a car be to be converted to CNG?

Cars older than four years can be converted to CNG. Advantages of CNG conversion: More economical—natural gas prices are lower, and CNG vehicles have lower per-mile costs compared to gasoline vehicles; more environmentally friendly—natural gas produces significantly less pollution from production to transportation and final usage compared to gasoline. Disadvantages of CNG conversion: Lower range and reduced power—since natural gas is a gaseous fuel, its combustion expansion performance is inferior to gasoline, leading to a noticeable drop in engine power. Additionally, CNG vehicles carry less fuel, resulting in shorter driving ranges compared to gasoline vehicles; occupies space and adds weight—the conversion increases the vehicle's weight, naturally raising energy consumption.

How Many Degrees Do the Wheels Turn When the Steering Wheel is at 45 Degrees?

When the steering wheel is turned 45 degrees, the wheels turn 3 degrees. Functions of the steering wheel: Generally connected to the steering shaft via splines, its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the steering wheel rim into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Using a larger-diameter steering wheel allows the driver to apply less hand force when turning. The steering intermediate shaft serves as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitating the standardization of steering gears, compensating for errors during manufacturing and installation, and ensuring more rational installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle. Relationship between the steering wheel and the wheels: The steering wheel adjusts the rotation angle of the tires through the steering gear. When the steering wheel turns right, the wheels turn right. When the steering wheel turns left, the wheels turn left. The steering wheel is connected to the steering column, and the end of the steering column is linked to the steering gear. Inside the steering gear is a rack-and-pinion mechanism that converts the rotational motion from the steering wheel into linear motion, pushing or pulling the wheels to rotate a certain angle.
