In the car's cabin, the first pedal on the right side is the accelerator. The accelerator pedal does not directly control the fuel injection quantity. When the accelerator pedal is pressed, it directly controls the throttle valve. The throttle opening will increase, allowing more air to enter the engine. The ECU will then command the fuel injection system to inject more fuel, causing the engine speed to rise and the car to accelerate. When using the accelerator in daily driving, it is essential to press it slowly and release it quickly. After releasing the accelerator, the foot must be placed on the brake pedal to be ready for stopping at any time. Do not keep the foot on the accelerator, as this can easily lead to mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead of the brake in an emergency, resulting in a serious accident.

How to Check the Car Water Temperature Gauge?

The method to check the car water temperature gauge is: 1. The temperature scale ranges from C to H, where C represents 60 degrees. When the needle points to C, it means the water temperature has reached 60 degrees; 2. The red H zone indicates 110 degrees. If the needle enters the red zone, it means the water temperature is too high. The normal operating temperature for the water temperature gauge is between 70 to 90 degrees. Its function is to indicate the temperature of the coolant in the radiator while the engine is running, as the engine requires a certain operating temperature to function properly. The reasons for an excessively high water temperature gauge reading include: 1. Insufficient coolant due to low fluid levels or leaks; 2. Abnormal cooling caused by a malfunctioning radiator fan; 3. Poor heat dissipation due to a faulty circulation water pump; 4. Engine issues or cooling system malfunctions.

Why Do Hatchbacks Have Rear Wipers?

Hatchbacks have rear wipers because: Hatchbacks lack a rear trunk, causing airflow from the sides of the car to create vortices, which can lead to the accumulation of rainwater and dirt on the rear window. The wiper helps to clear away rainwater and dirt. The function of the wiper is: to remove raindrops and dust adhering to the vehicle's windshield, thereby improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. The steps to remove the wiper are: 1. Fully raise the wiper arm and adjust the angle of the wiper blade; 2. Change the angle of the wiper blade so that it forms a 90-degree angle with the wiper arm; 3. Once positioned correctly, begin the removal process by lifting the rubber blade, detaching the entire wiper blade assembly, then prying open the rubber blade horizontally and pressing down on the main bracket to completely remove the wiper blade assembly.

Can Modified Car Seats Pass the Annual Inspection?

Modified car seats can pass the annual inspection. It is important to note that the number and layout of the seats cannot be altered. According to relevant regulations, no individual or unit is allowed to arbitrarily change the structure and characteristics of a motor vehicle. Since seats are not considered part of the vehicle's structure and characteristics, they can be modified. The annual inspection includes the following items: 1. Checking whether the engine, chassis, body, and their accessories are clean, complete, and functional, whether the paint is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether the main assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; 2. Verifying whether the vehicle's braking performance, lighting, exhaust, and other safety features comply with relevant regulations; 3. Checking whether the vehicle has undergone modifications, alterations, or transformations, and whether the driving license, license plate, and vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle; 4. Inspecting whether the license plate, driving license, and the enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need to be replaced.

Does the vehicle width parameter include side mirrors?

Vehicle width parameters do not include side mirrors. The vehicle width is defined as the distance between the two extreme points in the width direction of the car, i.e., the distance between the leftmost and rightmost protruding points of the vehicle body. According to industry-standard practices, the vehicle width does not include the extension of the left and right side mirrors. The protruding points should be selected after the side mirrors are folded. Function of side mirrors: They reflect the situation behind, beside, and below the vehicle, allowing the driver to indirectly see these areas clearly, expanding the driver's field of vision, and enhancing safety during reversing and driving. The adjustment method for side mirrors is: 1. Adjust the horizon image in the left side mirror to the center of the mirror; 2. Adjust the image of the left side of the vehicle to occupy the right quarter of the mirror; 3. Adjust the horizon image in the right side mirror to two-thirds of the mirror's height; 4. Adjust the image of the right side of the vehicle to occupy the left quarter of the mirror.
