How to Use a Car Tire Pressure Gauge?

Methods for using a car tire pressure gauge: 1. The angle between the center line of the pressure gauge's measuring port and the axis of the gauge body should be between 90 and 180 degrees. The scale is a square, with a range from 0.07wpa to 0.4wpa. Before reading, gently tap the instrument's casing or glass surface with your finger to eliminate friction in the transmission mechanism; 2. When observing, ensure the pointer overlaps with the mirror pointer. The value indicated by the pointer at this time is the pressure reading, accurate to one decimal place; 3. Align and press the measuring end slot of the pressure gauge firmly against the tire valve. The pointer on the tire pressure gauge will then deflect, and the indicated value is the tire's inflation pressure. Alternatively, the gauge's indicator rod may be pushed out by the air pressure, displaying the tire's inflation pressure. The greater the internal tire pressure, the more the pointer deflects.

Where is the windshield washer button located?

The windshield washer button is located on the wiper control lever on the right side of the steering wheel. Pull it towards yourself and hold for a while to activate it. Windshield washer fluid, commonly known as car windshield cleaning fluid, is a consumable in automotive use. It is mainly composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. Functions of windshield washer fluid: 1. Cleaning performance: Surfactants usually have wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing functions, thus playing a role in cleaning and removing dirt; 2. Anti-freezing performance: The presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol can lower the freezing point of the liquid, thereby providing anti-freezing effects; 3. Anti-fog performance: It prevents the formation of fog droplets, ensuring the windshield remains clear and transparent with a clear view; 4. Anti-static performance: After cleaning with the washer fluid, substances adsorbed on the glass surface can eliminate static charges on the glass surface.
