Installation position of the reversing small round mirror: The left small round mirror should be installed at the upper left corner of the side mirror, and the right one at the lower left corner. Below are the benefits of installing small round mirrors: 1. Reduce blind spots: During daily driving, due to certain blind spots in the field of vision, it is often impossible to see some situations on adjacent roads, such as when a vehicle behind overtakes or when a vehicle makes a U-turn. These situations all have blind spots. Installing small round mirrors can expand the field of vision and reduce blind spots on the right rear side of the vehicle. 2. Expand the field of vision: When sitting in the driver's seat, the driver usually cannot see the sides and rear of the vehicle. After installing small round mirrors, the driver's viewing angle is increased, allowing clear visibility of the rear wheels when reversing.

I've been driving my own car for several years, and the placement of the convex blind-spot mirror is crucial. I usually choose the lower outer corner of the side mirror. This position minimizes blind spots effectively, making it especially convenient to check the rear wheel position when reversing. Avoid installing it too high, as sunlight reflecting off the glass can impair visibility. Also, don’t place it too close to the center, as it may distract you while driving and block your view. Before installation, remember to clean the mirror with a cleaning agent to ensure the adhesive sticks firmly—otherwise, it might fall off after a few days. I once tried adding one to the left side mirror, but the right side works better because the blind spot is larger there. After positioning it, adjust the angle to ensure it covers the blind spot. When parking in narrow alleys, this position helps me see obstacles clearly and avoid scratches. Safety comes first—take your time to adjust the angle properly during installation, and don’t rush to hit the road.

As a regular city driver, I find the best position for the blind spot mirror is the inner corner of the side mirror closest to the driver's side. This spot makes it easy to glance at vehicles and pedestrians behind me while reversing, reducing accidents. Installation is simple—just peel off the adhesive and stick it on. Avoid placing it too close to the edge, as it may fall off. From my experience, the inner corner prevents water buildup, keeping the view clear, especially after rain when it reflects brightly. Adjust the angle a few times to cover blind spots effectively, and pairing it with a reversing camera makes parking even smoother, saving time. Once fixed, avoid moving it frequently to prevent damage. Even beginners can get the hang of it after a few tries—practice makes perfect.

Installing the small convex mirror at the lower right corner of the rearview mirror works effectively and saves trouble. Positioning it here allows you to see the tires and roadside during reversing, reducing scrapes. Just firmly attach it with the included adhesive, avoiding the center to prevent obstructing the view. After fixing the position, a slight angle adjustment makes reversing much easier. Proper placement enhances reversing efficiency and ensures safety.

Installing a small convex mirror for reversing on my car several times, I've learned that positioning is crucial. Experience tells me that the most practical spot is the lower outer corner of the rearview mirror. Don't place it too close to the edge, or it may fall off due to vibrations while driving. Clean the mirror surface thoroughly before sticking to ensure adhesion. Incorrect placement reduces effectiveness—for example, mounting it in the middle creates cluttered vision and unclear views. I've noticed that a lower position reduces glare during rainy days, enhancing driving safety. Pay extra attention to avoid installation errors that lead to repeated adjustments and wasted effort. A bit more care makes driving smoother and more effortless.

How to Unclog a Blocked Engine Compartment Drain Hole?

The engine compartment is very close to the air conditioning intake. In the stuffy compartment, bacteria can easily breed, and in severe cases, water may flow into the car through the air conditioning intake, causing floor water accumulation. When cleaning the door drain holes, you can use hard objects such as iron wire to unclog them.

Should the Car Air Conditioner Use Internal or External Circulation in Winter?

Car air conditioner internal circulation refers to the recirculation of air inside the vehicle, which allows the interior temperature to rise more quickly. However, this can lead to a decrease in air quality. External circulation, on the other hand, draws in fresh air from outside the vehicle, resulting in a slower rise in interior temperature. In winter, it is recommended to first use internal circulation to warm up the car and then switch to external circulation once the engine has warmed up. Here are some important considerations for using the car air conditioner: 1. Do not forget to press the A/C button. This button controls the air conditioning compressor. Many drivers are not familiar with it, but simply turning on the air conditioner without activating the compressor will not cool the car, even if the temperature is set to the lowest. 2. Pay attention to switching between internal and external circulation. If external circulation is left on continuously, hot air from outside will keep entering the car, forcing the air conditioner to work harder to maintain a cool temperature, leading to excessive energy consumption. Especially in areas with heavy air pollution, avoid using external circulation as it will bring polluted air into the car. On the other hand, continuous use of internal circulation, while energy-efficient, can reduce oxygen levels inside the car, causing drowsiness and affecting driver safety. Therefore, to balance energy efficiency and passenger health, make good use of the internal and external circulation switch. 3. Utilize the defogging mode of the air conditioner. During heavy rain, fog can form on the windshield, and many drivers may not know how to handle it except by wiping it with tissues. The defogging mode of the air conditioner can quickly resolve this issue by simply turning it on. When turning off the air conditioner, it is also important to note that after pressing the A/C button, the cold air from the air conditioner can condense moisture inside the car into water droplets, which may remain in the evaporator. If not addressed promptly, this can lead to bacterial growth and mold. To prevent this, remember to turn off the A/C button before shutting down the car, allowing the air conditioner to operate in ventilation mode to dry the moisture. 4. Replace the air filter regularly. The air filter is responsible for purifying outside air before it enters the car. If the filter is not replaced for a long time, it can lead to reduced cooling efficiency and unpleasant odors inside the car. Over time, the filter accumulates dust and debris, reducing airflow and cooling performance. Additionally, this can promote bacterial growth, resulting in foul-smelling air being blown into the car.

What is the tire pressure for summer tires?

Summer tire pressure should be maintained between 2.4 to 2.5 bar. When inflating tires in summer, vehicle owners should use a pressure gauge to check the air pressure to prevent overinflation, which may cause tire blowouts. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: 1. Reduces tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan. Automotive tires are one of the key components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working with the suspension system to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth operation.
