The rearview mirror heating button on the Civic is located below the central control screen. There are two knobs below the central control screen. In the middle of the knobs, there is a row of buttons, and the rearview mirror heating button is the rightmost one. Rearview mirror heating is generally suitable for rainy or snowy weather. When the rearview mirror is heated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog from the mirror, eliminating the need for the driver to frequently wipe the mirror manually, thereby 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 electric rearview mirror adjustment function key—simply rotate the knob to activate it. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel—pressing the heating button will activate it. There is no need to adjust the angle manually, as there is an adjustment button on the driver's side. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass will rapidly heat up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, usually between 35-60 degrees. The heat will dissipate from the left and right rearview mirrors. At the same time, as the temperature rises and evaporates, water droplets on the mirror surface will become smaller, and fog will gradually disappear, thereby heating the mirror and removing frost. If the rain is particularly heavy, its effect will diminish and become less noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves adding electric heating wires to the rearview mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of electricity. When using the rearview mirror heating function, ensure the car is in an active state. Avoid activating the rearview mirror heating function while the car is stationary to prevent draining the car battery, which could lead to insufficient power for starting the car. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for convection: Crack open the windows on both sides to allow air convection between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and causing the fog to gradually disappear. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also use warm air from the AC to defog the mirrors.

What lights to use when making a right turn at an intersection at night?

Quickly turn the high beams on and off a few times to signal that a vehicle is approaching. At the same time, the right turn signal should also be activated. Below is relevant information: 1. No traffic lights: Turn on the low beams. If passing through an intersection without traffic signal control, you should slow down and alternately flash the high and low beams as a signal. 2. No illumination: Under normal circumstances, only the low beams are needed for night driving. If you encounter a completely dark road ahead with no street lighting facilities, the high beams should be turned on. If you are about to meet another vehicle, switch to low beams in advance and wait until the meeting is over before deciding whether to turn the high beams back on based on the situation.

Will a Power Bank Explode in the Car During Summer?

Power banks left in a car during high summer temperatures may self-ignite or explode. This is because most power banks contain lithium batteries, which are highly prone to explosion when exposed to sunlight in a confined car environment where temperatures can exceed 80 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it is best not to leave power banks in cars, especially for extended periods, as this poses significant safety risks. Below is some related information about power banks: 1. Introduction to Power Banks: A power bank is a device that can directly charge mobile devices and car batteries, equipped with its own energy storage unit. The main types available in the market today are multifunctional power banks, most of which come with standard USB outputs. They can generally meet the charging needs of common mobile devices such as smartphones, MP3 players, MP4 players, PDAs, PSPs, Bluetooth headsets, digital cameras, and other digital products. Essentially, a power bank is a convenient, portable, high-capacity power source that integrates energy storage, voltage boosting, and charging management into one portable device. 2. Functions of Power Banks: Power banks can charge mobile devices directly via an AC power source using their built-in charging plug and also feature their own energy storage unit. They function as a hybrid between a charger and a backup battery, simplifying the need for an additional charging plug compared to backup power sources. Unlike regular chargers, they come with their own energy storage, providing a backup power supply for digital products when no direct power source is available or when traveling.

Do I need to pay again when transferring to a different driving school?

Transferring to a different driving school requires additional payment for the following reasons: 1. Driving school factors: The new driving school is not affiliated with the original one, so you will need to pay for training fees/registration fees again. 2. Exam factors: If you have passed certain subjects at the original driving school, you may need to reapply for exams at the new driving school, which is equivalent to retaking subjects one through four. The transfer must be approved by the instructor. You will need to withdraw your records from the original driving school, negotiate withdrawal and refunds with the instructor, and then take your student records to the new driving school for affiliation. The instructor will help submit your records to the vehicle management office for review. Once approved, you can continue with the exams.

Are there any legally roadworthy RX7s in China?

Currently, there are no legally roadworthy RX7s in China, as this model is a right-hand drive vehicle, which does not comply with China's driving regulations. The RX-7 is a sports car under the MAZDA brand, a representative model among Japanese sports cars. It features a traditional FR (front-engine, rear-wheel-drive) configuration, equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, and its integrated rear light cluster is the most distinctive feature of the car. Below is extended information on left-hand drive and right-hand drive vehicles: 1. Main differences between left-hand drive and right-hand drive vehicles: The primary distinction lies in the A-pillar blind spots. For someone accustomed to driving a left-hand drive vehicle, switching to a right-hand drive vehicle would feel like driving from the passenger seat. The blind spot shifts from the left to the right, causing significant discomfort. This is one of the most noticeable differences for drivers, aside from the handling variations. 2. Precautions: You can start the vehicle first, but pay attention to gear shifting—note that first gear is on the left. Drive slowly and adjust to the unfamiliarity by adapting to the front and side rearview mirror views.
