It depends on your needs. Stick it on the upper left corner of the left rearview mirror: you can clearly see the rear wheel on your side; stick it on the lower left corner of the left rearview mirror: you may not see the rear wheel, but the field of view is wider; stick it on the lower left corner of the right rearview mirror: never install it on the upper right corner of the right rearview mirror, although you can see the right rear wheel, it will seriously affect your vision. Introduction to the small round mirror: The reversing small round mirror has adhesive on the back, so it is very easy to install. When installing, you can first confirm that it should be installed on the edge of the rearview mirror, otherwise it will seriously affect the field of view. Functions of the small round mirror: Reduce blind spots, it can eliminate the blind spot on the right rear side of the car body. Make reversing more convenient, you can also see the position of the rear wheels when reversing, making parking in reverse easier. Prevent scratches.

Having driven for over a decade, I can attest that choosing the right position for reverse parking mirrors can save a lot of hassle. My recommendation is to attach them at the outer lower edge of the traditional rearview mirror. This placement allows you to see the curbs near the rear wheels without obstructing the main mirror's normal field of view. Remember to clean the mirror surface thoroughly before installation, peel off the adhesive backing, align it properly, press firmly for 15 seconds, then adjust the small mirror angle with your fingers until the rear wheels appear centered in the mirror. Many people install them too far inward, which actually creates blind spots. This adjustment alone has helped me avoid wheel rim scrapes at least three times while backing in garages.

Where is the oil-water separator located on the Great Wall Fengjun 5?

The oil-water separator for the Fengjun 5 diesel vehicle is installed between the compressor outlet and the condenser inlet. Upon careful inspection of the engine compartment, the oil-water separator can be seen. Specific details are as follows: 1. Working principle: The oil-water separator operates by taking the high-pressure gas from the compressor, which includes the gaseous working medium and lubricating oil. After entering the exhaust valve, it flows into the guide vane of the exhaust valve, moving in a spiral pattern along the vane. Through centrifugal force and gravity, the lubricating oil is separated from the working medium gas and flows down along the inner wall of the cylinder. 2. Oil-water separator: The requirements for the working quality of the vehicle's exhaust valve include a large gas-liquid interface and a long retention time; the oil-gas mixture should be close to a phase equilibrium state. It should have good mechanical separation effects, with minimal liquid in the gas and minimal gas in the liquid. The oil-water separator improves the heat transfer effect in the condenser and evaporator through separation.

What does an exclamation mark in the car mean?

The appearance of an exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates an abnormality or malfunction in the corresponding system. There are many indicator lights on the car dashboard with exclamation marks, such as the tire pressure indicator light, lighting fault indicator light, steering system fault indicator light, brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator light, and wiper fault indicator light. The following is a detailed introduction to the exclamation mark warning lights: General faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance or components and functions. Mainly includes parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or failure, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating that there is a fault in the transmission or the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced in time. Brake system fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents a warning for the brake system, mainly indicating a fault in the brake system or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire pressure abnormality: A horizontal line under parentheses with an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator light, indicating that a car light has failed. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or check it yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights, to identify the problem. In addition, during daily use of the vehicle, the warning lights displayed on the vehicle dashboard are divided into two different colors, yellow and red: Yellow indicates that there is a fault in the corresponding system, but the problem is not very serious. It is necessary to slow down and proceed to the corresponding repair point for maintenance to eliminate potential safety hazards in time. Red indicates that there is a very serious problem in the corresponding system. In this case, do not continue driving. You should pull over immediately and call for professional help to prevent unpredictable dangers to the vehicle and personal safety caused by forced driving. It should be noted that when the car is started, all lights will turn on, and the system will perform an automatic check. After the check is completed, the lights will automatically turn off. If a light does not turn on when the ignition is turned on, or stays on without turning off, or lights up while driving, it indicates a fault in the related system. In such cases, professional help should be sought immediately for car inspection to eliminate potential safety hazards.
