The small convex mirror on the left side should be installed in the upper left corner of the side mirror, while the one on the right side should be installed in the lower left corner. Generally, car rearview mirrors have four corners. It is best to install the small convex mirror on the left rearview mirror in the upper left corner, as this not only provides a clear view of the rear wheels but also does not obstruct the view behind. However, the small convex mirror on the right rearview mirror should not be installed in the upper right corner, as this can significantly interfere with visibility. It is recommended to install the right small convex mirror in the lower left corner, which will be very helpful for parking. More details are as follows: 1. The biggest advantage of installing small convex mirrors on vehicles is reducing blind spots. During daily driving, due to certain blind spots in visibility, it is often difficult to see some situations on adjacent roads, such as when a rear vehicle is overtaking or when making a U-turn. These situations can create blind spots. Installing small convex mirrors can expand the field of vision and reduce blind spots on the right rear side of the vehicle. 2. When sitting in the driver's seat, the driver usually cannot see the sides and rear of the vehicle. If small convex mirrors are installed, they can increase the driver's viewing angle, allowing a clear view of the rear wheels when reversing. This makes reversing much easier. Additionally, when parking, the small convex mirrors and front door handles can be used to accurately determine the position of the rear of the vehicle.

What type of engine oil does the Cavalier use?

The original factory engine oil specification for the Cavalier is 5W-30 mineral oil. Engine oil is a critical factor affecting engine performance and lifespan. The Cavalier comes pre-filled with high-quality multi-viscosity oil, which can be used year-round except in extremely cold climates. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Generally speaking, commonly available oils like 0W-40, 5W-30, and 5W-40 have strong applicability and are suitable for most climate conditions across China and for most vehicles. 2. Naturally aspirated engines have relatively modest requirements for oil quality and can use mineral or semi-synthetic oils. If the budget allows, full synthetic oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have tighter engine structures and more complex operating conditions, requiring higher-performance oil with better fluidity. It is recommended to use full synthetic oil for turbocharged engines.

How to Open the Trunk of a Citroen C-Quatre When It Won't Open?

Here are two methods to solve the issue of a Citroen C-Quatre trunk not opening: 1. Open the trunk from the outside. Open the driver's door, pull up the handbrake to prevent the car from rolling, pull the trunk switch located on the left side of the driver's leg area, and press the lock latch on the outside of the trunk. 2. Open the trunk from the rear door. Inside the rear door, there is a small mechanical switch next to the lock block; pulling it will open the trunk. After opening, check what caused the trunk not to open. You can adjust the relative position of the trunk lock and the lock hook and lubricate the lock hook. Focus on checking whether the door lock and the locked assembly are properly fitted, or apply some grease to the door lock block and lock post. Adjustment and lubrication should solve the problem.

Can a tire with exposed cords still be used?

Tires with exposed cords cannot be used and need to be replaced. The rubber thickness on the side of a tire does not exceed 1 centimeter. Once this part is damaged, there is a high probability of damaging the radial layer. If the radial layer is compromised, the structural integrity of the entire tire cannot be guaranteed, and the tire may blow out at any time (especially at higher speeds, as the risk increases with speed due to higher tire pressure, which can easily cause catastrophic damage to the metal layer). The following situations also require tire replacement: 1. Expiration date approaching. Every tire has a production date, and it's important to pay attention to the usage period and mileage of your tires. Beyond this period or mileage, the tire wear will be more severe and may not support the vehicle adequately. 2. Severe tread wear. Check the tire tread. 3. Abnormal tire pressure. More advanced vehicles come with a tire pressure monitoring function, as many traffic accidents are caused by abnormal tire pressure. High tire pressure makes braking harder to control, while low tire pressure reduces the vehicle's power.
