The rearview mirror heating switch on the Song Plus DM-i is a rectangular button with wavy lines next to the exterior rearview mirror adjustment button. Rearview mirror heating is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for frequent manual wiping and reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: There are generally two ways to activate the rearview mirror heating function. One is combined with the power-adjustable rearview mirror control—simply rotate the knob to turn it on. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—press the heating button to activate it. No manual angle adjustment is needed, as the driver's side has a dedicated adjustment button. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature (typically between 35-60°C) within minutes, distributing heat across both side mirrors. As the temperature rises, water droplets on the mirror surface shrink due to evaporation, and fog gradually dissipates, effectively defogging and deicing the mirror. However, its effectiveness diminishes in heavy rain, with less noticeable results. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The heating function relies on electric heating wires embedded in the mirror, which consume significant power. Ensure the vehicle is running when using this feature to avoid draining the battery, which could prevent the car from starting. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows slightly to create air convection between the interior and exterior, reducing temperature differences and gradually clearing fog. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to blow warm air, which helps remove fog from the mirrors.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Wrangler in liters?

The 2022 Wrangler comes in a total of 7 models, with two different fuel tank capacities. The four-door version has a fuel tank capacity of 81.4 liters, while the two-door version has a capacity of 70 liters. In the same vehicle class, the 2020 Ford Everest offers 11 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 80 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E and F. When the needle is near E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.

What does TCS mean?

TSC stands for Traction Control System. Its full English name is Traction Control System. Like ABS and ESP, it belongs to the active safety system of automobiles. The traction control system can prevent the drive wheels from spinning when the vehicle is driving on slippery roads such as snow, enabling the vehicle to start and accelerate smoothly. Especially on snowy or muddy roads, the traction control system can ensure smooth acceleration performance and prevent the vehicle from skidding sideways or fishtailing due to the drive wheels slipping. The control device of the traction control system is a computer. It uses the computer to detect the speed of the four wheels and the steering angle of the steering wheel. When the car accelerates, if the computer detects that the speed difference between the drive wheels and the non-drive wheels is too large, it immediately judges that the driving force is too large and sends a signal to reduce the fuel supply of the engine, thereby reducing the driving force and the slip rate of the drive wheels.

What does the TC indicator light on the car dashboard mean?

The flashing TC indicator light on the car dashboard indicates that the traction control system is in operation. TC is the abbreviation for Traction Control System, which means the anti-skid control system. When braking or accelerating sharply on slippery roads, the wheels are prone to skidding, even losing directional control, which can be dangerous. To address such safety issues, the traction control system was developed. The traction control system relies on the electronic sensors of the ABS anti-lock braking system. When it detects that the speed of the driven wheels is lower than that of the driving wheels, indicating wheel skidding, it sends a feedback signal to the car's system. The car system then adjusts the ignition timing, reduces the throttle opening, decreases the throttle, downshifts, or brakes the wheels accordingly to prevent skidding. The traction control system can improve acceleration and climbing ability. The ECU adjusts based on the current speed to enhance stability and acceleration performance. When climbing, excessive braking force can make it difficult for the vehicle to move. With this system installed, the ECU increases traction based on the current conditions, ensuring smooth driving.

Is It Necessary to Maintain the Car Brake System?

It is necessary to maintain the car brake system. As one of the most critical systems in a vehicle, the brake operates under extremely harsh conditions. Any malfunction in this system can lead to traffic hazards at any time, so regular inspection and maintenance of the brake system are essential. Maintenance intervals for the car brake system: Front disc brakes: approximately 30,000 kilometers; Rear disc brakes: approximately 60,000 kilometers; Drum brakes: approximately 100,000 kilometers. Items required for car brake maintenance: High-temperature protection for brake pads; Lubrication maintenance for brake calipers; Brake disc cleaning; Brake fluid replacement; Anti-rust lubrication for tire bolts, brake discs, and wheel contact surfaces. Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools, or machinery. The components of a brake system include: brake pedal, booster, master cylinder, ABS assistance, oil pipes, wheel brake calipers, and friction components. The purpose of braking is to slow down and stop the vehicle, and its principle involves the energy conversion process of transforming the vehicle's kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction.

What is the Automatic Parking Function?

Automatic parking system enables the car to automatically park in the correct parking space. The system includes an environmental data acquisition system, a central processor, and a vehicle strategy control system. Relevant information is as follows: Data acquisition: The aforementioned environmental data acquisition system generally consists of an image acquisition system and an onboard distance detection system (via ultrasonic radar or millimeter-wave radar system). It collects image data and the distance data of surrounding objects from the car body, then transmits them to the central processor via data lines. The central processor analyzes and processes the collected data to determine the car's current position, target position, and surrounding environmental parameters. Based on these parameters, it formulates an automatic parking strategy and converts it into electrical signals. The vehicle strategy control system receives these electrical signals and executes commands to control the car's movement, including angle, direction, and power support. Principle: Radar sensors distributed around the vehicle measure the distance and angle between the car and surrounding objects. The onboard computer then calculates the operation process and adjusts the steering wheel rotation in coordination with the vehicle speed. The driver only needs to control the speed. In the coming years, it will not be surprising to see more high-end imported cars and even domestic models equipped with this system as standard, as the system is not particularly complex.
