The rear fog light on the 10th-generation Civic is located at the rear on the same side as the driver's seat. The main functions of fog lights are: 1. Front fog lights are used to improve illumination when road conditions ahead are unclear and can alert oncoming drivers; 2. Rear fog lights help vehicles behind to spot your car in low visibility conditions. The 10th-generation Civic is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4517mm, width 1799mm, height 1434mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 47L, and curb weight 1343kg. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine producing maximum power of 177PS (130kW) and maximum torque of 220Nm, paired with a CVT transmission.

Hi, I'm the owner of a 10th-generation Honda Civic and have been driving it for several years. The rear fog light is located right below the center of the rear bumper, like a small red bulb, in the plastic area just beneath the license plate. The way to find it is simple—just stop the car, crouch down, and take a look underneath, and you'll spot it. In practical use, during foggy or rainy conditions, you can turn it on using the switch on the steering column lever. Its light has strong penetration, alerting vehicles behind to avoid rear-ending. I make it a habit to check this light regularly, as dust buildup can affect its performance—just clean off any surface dirt. If the bulb burns out, a quick trip to the auto repair shop for a replacement won’t cost much. Remember not to confuse it with the brake light, which is brighter and more focused in position—the fog light is specifically designed to ensure visibility during hazardous weather conditions for safe driving. If you frequently drive long distances, developing the habit of turning it on is crucial.

What is the correct method to start an automatic transmission car?

Correct method to start an automatic transmission car: 1. After sitting in the driver's seat, press the start button directly; 2. Press the brake pedal and press the start button to ignite and start the engine; 3. Release the foot brake, and you may choose to warm up the car while stationary; 4. Press the brake pedal again and shift to D (Drive) gear; 5. Release the handbrake and slowly release the foot brake to start moving; 6. Apply the accelerator smoothly according to road conditions for safe driving. An automatic transmission car does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, an automatic transmission has six gear positions: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low). The automatic transmission uses a planetary gear mechanism to shift gears automatically according to the degree of accelerator pedal pressure and changes in vehicle speed.

How to Press the Clutch When Shifting Gears?

To press the clutch when shifting gears, use the ball of your left foot with the heel as the pivot point. First, press the clutch pedal all the way down, then engage the corresponding gear while lightly pressing the accelerator. Simultaneously, quickly lift the clutch to the semi-engaged position. Once you feel the clutch engage, you can fully release it. The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws. The output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. Its function is to allow the driver to properly operate it, enabling the indirect engagement of the clutch's front and rear parts for smooth starting.

How to Deal with Spark Plugs Soaked in Engine Oil?

The method to deal with spark plugs soaked in engine oil is: use paper to wipe off the oil on the spark plug, gently sand the electrodes a few times with fine sandpaper, or slightly burn the electrodes of the spark plug on the flame of a gas stove or alcohol lamp. The function of a car's spark plug is to discharge the pulsed high-voltage electricity generated by the high-voltage wire, breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug to ignite the gas in the cylinder. Methods for maintaining and servicing car spark plugs: 1. Clean the dust and impurities around the spark plug, usually by using compressed air or a fine soft tube to blow them away; 2. When removing the spark plug, ensure the engine is in a cold state and never disassemble or install the spark plug while the car engine is running; 3. After removing the spark plug, protect the installation port to prevent impurities or dust from entering the cylinder; 4. When removing the spark plug, use the correct tools, ensure the wrench fits properly, and operate it straight and correctly to avoid damaging the insulating ceramic body.

What gear should be engaged when parking on a downhill slope?

When parking on a downhill slope, engage the reverse gear before turning off the engine to prevent the car from rolling forward. For parking on level ground, first shift to neutral, apply the handbrake, and then turn off the engine. Engaging a gear utilizes engine braking, where the wheels are connected to the engine crankshaft through gears, so wheel rotation will inevitably drive the engine. The reverse gear, fully known as the reverse driving gear, is one of the three standard gears in a car. It is marked as "R" on the gear console and is designed to allow the vehicle to move backward, serving as a special driving gear. Precautions for reversing on a downhill slope include: 1. Ensure the vehicle is completely stopped before engaging reverse gear; 2. Press the clutch pedal all the way down when shifting to reverse; 3. Maintain slow speed during reversing and avoid pressing the accelerator.

How to Remove Asphalt Stuck on Tires?

The methods to remove asphalt stuck on tires are: 1. Spray a dedicated asphalt cleaner on the tire, and after the asphalt softens, use a small shovel to remove it, or repeatedly wipe it with a cloth; 2. Use boiling water by pouring it over the asphalt and then scrubbing repeatedly with a brush; 3. Wash the tire with soapy water and scrub repeatedly with a brush; 4. If the asphalt has been compacted over time and adheres to the tread patterns, it needs to be handled at an auto repair shop. The methods for maintaining tires include checking the tire pressure, which can be judged based on the standards in the car maintenance manual, and promptly removing any stones or foreign objects in the tires.

Which One is the Clutch Pedal?

The clutch pedal is the first stepping point from left to right in the driver's cabin. It serves as the control device for the clutch assembly in manual transmission vehicles. Its primary function is to engage and disengage the clutch between the engine and the transmission through proper operation by the driver. The clutch consists of friction plates, spring plates, a pressure plate, and a power output shaft. When starting the vehicle, the correct operation method for the clutch is to press down the pedal, engage the gear, then lift the clutch pedal until the friction plates begin to make contact. At this point, the foot should pause briefly while simultaneously applying throttle. Once the clutch plates are fully engaged, the clutch pedal can be completely released.
