Why are the tilt angles of the left and right rearview mirrors different?

Because the owner did not adjust them properly, they will be the same after adjustment. Moreover, the mirrored images reflected by the two rearview mirrors do have certain differences. Left rearview mirror adjustment: Vertical position: The ground area should occupy the center of the mirror. Horizontal position: While ensuring that the lowest point of the rear wheel touching the ground is visible, try to keep the car body occupying 1/4 of the mirror surface. Right rearview mirror adjustment: Since the driver's seat is on the left side, it is more difficult for the driver to grasp the situation on the right side of the car. Therefore, when adjusting the vertical position of the right rearview mirror, the ground area should occupy 2/3 of the mirror surface, allowing visibility of the wheel arch (the curved, protruding part above the wheel, resembling an eyebrow). The horizontal position should be adjusted so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror surface.

I've noticed that uneven tilt angles between left and right side mirrors are quite common. This may stem from unstable mirror base installation or loose screws causing the mirror body to wobble and shift; or the vehicle might have experienced minor collisions with slightly deformed mirror brackets not repaired promptly; for older cars, worn or deformed internal gears or springs in the mirror adjustment mechanism can also cause angle deviations. When adjusting my car, I first sit upright in the driver's seat and try manually aligning with the adjustment knob - if that doesn't work, I check whether the rearview mirror has aged or has scratches affecting visibility; for power mirrors, test the responsiveness of the electric control buttons. I recommend making it a habit to tighten screws quarterly to prevent loosening. Misaligned mirror angles during reversing increase blind spot risks - if DIY fixes fail, visit a professional shop for calibration.

Where is the car wiper switch located?

On the right-hand stalk behind the steering wheel. Below is relevant information about wipers: 1. Definition: The wiper, also known as a windscreen wiper or windshield wiper, is a device used to wipe away raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield. 2. Function: The wiper can remove dust and water droplets from the windshield. It generally has three settings: low speed, high speed, and intermittent. It improves the driver's visibility and enhances driving safety. Push the wiper handle upward to activate the wiper, and it will stop working when released as the lever automatically returns to its original position. 3. Drawbacks: The movement speed of the wiper blade is unstable. When the engine's vacuum decreases (for example, when the car is climbing a slope), the wiper blade may stop, causing the driver's vision to become blurry. Vacuum wipers were phased out in 1972 and replaced by electric wipers.

What is the minimum speed for 3rd gear?

3rd gear speed should not be lower than 20Km/h, with the corresponding speed range for 3rd gear being 20-40km/h. Gear introduction: 1st gear: Starting gear, used for vehicle launch. It has similar gear ratio and performance to reverse gear, thus not suitable for prolonged high-speed operation. Generally, you can shift to 2nd gear once the vehicle gains momentum. 2nd gear: Passing gear, mainly used for navigating complex road conditions and handling difficult situations, such as sharp-angle (right-angle) turns without special obstacles, crowded urban areas, steep slopes, and bumpy roads. 3rd gear: Transition gear, primarily used for low-speed urban driving. Depending on circumstances, it can easily transition up to 4th gear for acceleration or down to 2nd gear for deceleration. 4th gear: Cruising gear, mainly used for prolonged high-speed driving and economical operation. Most vehicles achieve their most fuel-efficient speed in the low-speed range of 4th gear. 5th gear: High-speed gear, mainly used for long-distance highway driving.

Is Engine Oil Leakage Covered by 4S Store Warranty?

Engine oil leakage is covered by 4S store warranty. Steps for warranty claim: In case of an accident, directly call the salesperson to inform them, then call the insurance company to report the incident. If there is third-party involvement, an accident liability determination document needs to be provided. After the insurance loss assessor arrives at the scene to evaluate the vehicle damage, proceed to the repair shop designated by the insurance company for repairs. If the company does not have a designated repair shop, you can choose any repair shop. Damaged parts will be replaced accordingly. Points to note for warranty: Most stores now offer appointment services. Many people are not accustomed to making appointments, but it is actually a good practice as it can save you from waiting in line. For first-time warranty services, many people park their cars in front of the showroom, which is incorrect. If parked in front of the showroom, the car will still need to be moved to the service area. Therefore, it is advisable to check the layout beforehand to avoid the hassle of moving the car later.

Why Does the Wiper Move When the Ignition Switch Is Turned On?

Turning on the ignition switch causes the wiper to move because a reserved position is designed. The wiper is designed with a reserved position: When the car starts or shuts down, the wiper moves slightly because a reserved position is designed in its travel path. After losing power due to the disappearance of oil pressure, air pressure, or electricity, the wiper returns to its original position. If the wiper was in use before shutting down and it moves slightly, this is normal. During normal operation, the wiper stops at a position approximately 5 cm above its usual resting place. Precautions for observing the wiper: When turning off, the wiper will go through a process of returning to its original position, which is why you see it move slightly. Additionally, if the wiper activates without being turned on, it might be due to a sudden connection at the wiper's joint. In this case, it is recommended to check the power connection point of the front wiper, which is usually located above the washer fluid reservoir.
