Turn signal switch is usually located on the left side behind the steering wheel, with a lever. Pushing it upwards activates the right turn signal, and pushing it downwards activates the left turn signal. More information is as follows: 1. Turn signal: The turn signal is an important indicator light that is turned on when the motor vehicle is turning to alert vehicles and pedestrians around. The turn signal tube uses xenon tube, and the single-chip microcomputer controls the circuit, with left and right alternating flashes working continuously. 2. Function: The turn signal is the most important device to indicate the dynamic information of the car. It is installed at the front and rear of the car body and is turned on when the car turns. It provides a guarantee for driving safety. For safety, please use the turn signal as required to let people know the car's movement in advance and make correct judgments.

Oh, you're asking about the turn signal location? When I drive myself, the turn signal is hidden on the control stalk to the left of the steering wheel. Gently push it upward for a right turn and downward for a left turn—super easy to operate. There are also flashing indicator lights on both sides of the front, rear, and side mirrors, quite noticeable in position. But remember, if the turn signal isn't working, it might be a burnt bulb or a blown fuse—check the fuse box promptly to avoid compromising driving safety. Make it a habit to use it every time before changing lanes to prevent rear-end collisions. After all, other drivers rely on it to judge your intentions and avoid misunderstandings. When it comes to driving, safety first—though small, turn signals play a huge role.

As a safe driving instructor, I must emphasize the importance of turn signal positioning: the lever on the left side of the steering wheel controls it, with a pair of light sources at both the front and rear of the vehicle. If you can't find them immediately, don't panic—first check if the headlights are functioning properly. If a bulb is burnt out, simply replace it with a new one; the fuse could also be the issue, located in a small box under the hood or dashboard. Beginners often overlook this habit, but using turn signals isn't just for turning—they should also be used when changing lanes or pulling over. For safety, have a mechanic check the wiring during regular maintenance to avoid malfunctions at critical moments. Cultivating good driving etiquette ensures others can clearly anticipate your actions, making the roads smoother for everyone.

How to steer when the car is leaning to the left?

When reversing to the left, turn the steering wheel to the left. Just remember one thing when reversing: to move the rear of the car in a certain direction, turn the steering wheel in that direction. Because car brands are different, models are different, reference points are different, the timing of steering when reversing is basically different for each car, and it cannot be generalized. Because the light may be too dark to see clearly, it is recommended to get out of the car and observe the exact position before reversing. This is for safety considerations and also makes it easy to correct the body position immediately.

What is the reason for white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe after carbon cleaning?

The reasons for white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe after carbon cleaning are: 1. Residual cleaning agent sprayed inside during cleaning; 2. When the vehicle is started, the residual cleaning agent will burn along with the fuel, and if the air-fuel mixture is too rich, it will produce white smoke. The exhaust pipe is installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler, allowing the entire exhaust system to have flexible connections, thereby reducing vibration and noise, facilitating installation, and extending the life of the exhaust muffler system. The maintenance methods for the exhaust pipe are: 1. Regularly check if the exhaust pipe is cracked; 2. Regularly inspect the exhaust pipe for abnormal noises; 3. Regularly check for any foreign objects inside the exhaust pipe; 4. Let the engine idle for 10 minutes before starting to expel accumulated water inside.

How to Perform Front-First Parallel Parking?

First, drive past the parking space to assess whether it can accommodate your vehicle. Quickly shift your gaze from the right rearview mirror to the left rearview mirror, paying attention to oncoming traffic and obstacles on the left side. While turning the steering wheel fully, slowly reverse until the left rearview mirror can completely see the front of the car behind you, then straighten the wheels and continue reversing. Observe the distance between the right rear wheel and the curb. When it seems appropriate, turn the steering wheel fully to the left and try to get the car as close to the curb as possible. Once most of the car is in the parking space, the driver should determine the distance from the car behind by turning their head or using the parking assist system.
