Why Can't I See the Rear Wheels in the SUV Rearview Mirror?

If you can't see the rear wheels in your SUV's rearview mirror, it may be due to the wheelbase being too short or the SUV's waistline being more pronounced than that of regular vehicles. Here are the specific standards for adjusting SUV rearview mirrors: Center Rearview Mirror: The center rearview mirror helps the driver quickly assess road conditions behind and maintain a safe distance from following vehicles. Adjust the center mirror so that it is parallel to the horizon and centered in the mirror surface, with the mirror slightly angled toward the driver to ensure a clear view of vehicles directly behind. Left Rearview Mirror: The left rearview mirror is closer to the driver's side, resulting in a smaller blind spot and a wider field of view, requiring less adjustment compared to the right mirror. Similarly, adjust the horizon to the center of the left mirror while keeping one-quarter of the vehicle's body visible in the mirror. Showing too little of the vehicle may obscure cars close to the rear, while showing too much may make it difficult to see vehicles partially alongside. Right Rearview Mirror: The right side has a larger blind spot, so the adjustment differs from the left mirror. Adjust the horizon to two-thirds of the right mirror's height, with one-quarter of the vehicle's body visible.

I've been driving an SUV for over a decade, and the main reason the rearview mirror can't see the rear wheels is due to the high body height, which increases blind spots. This is an inherent design issue with SUVs. If the position and angle of the rearview mirror aren't adjusted properly, you won't be able to see the bottom wheels. I recommend adjusting the mirrors before driving, tilting them downward as much as possible, or installing wide-angle mirrors for assistance. When reversing, don't rely solely on the rearview mirror—use the backup camera or radar system more often to avoid hitting obstacles. SUV safety indeed depends on these details. I check them every day before driving to build good habits. If the rearview mirrors are small or worn out, it's best to replace them with larger, anti-glare models for clearer visibility.

What does 'Ming Pan' mean in the used car market?

'Ming Pan' in the used car market refers to the practice of clearly marked prices, indicating that the price is openly negotiated and agreed upon by both buyers and sellers in the market. Simply put, it means the used car price is explicitly stated, rather than leaving it to the buyer to make an offer, representing a transparent and fair trading method. Here are some additional details: The main aspects of used car transactions include preliminary evaluation work, technical condition assessment, consignment sales, exchange services, price evaluation, and transaction practices. Consumers should have a detailed understanding of the paperwork related to the used car they intend to purchase. Some buyers, tempted by low prices, may choose to purchase used cars with incomplete paperwork that cannot be transferred, which can lead to troubles for both the buyer and the seller. The required documents for a used car transaction include the vehicle registration certificate, driving license, purchase invoice, insurance policy, and the ID cards of both parties involved in the transaction.

When Should the Crawl Control System Be Used?

Crawl control system is mainly used when climbing steep slopes or driving in special road conditions such as rain and snow, rocky roads, and sandy terrain. It automatically controls the engine and brakes while maintaining low-speed driving, thereby achieving excellent and stable passability. Below is an introduction to the crawl control system: 1. Definition of the crawl control system: The crawl control system (CRAWL Control), officially known as the 'Low-Speed Cruise Driving Assist System,' can be simply understood as the vehicle autonomously controlling engine torque output, the transmission system, and the braking system to allow the vehicle to pass through rough terrain at an extremely slow speed. 2. Function of the crawl control system: It prevents wheel slippage or vehicle entrapment caused by excessive speed. In other words, this crawl control system does not require the driver to manually operate the vehicle. Instead, it autonomously controls the vehicle through a computer system, adjusting torque output and distributing braking force to all four wheels based on road condition feedback, thereby achieving wheel slip limitation.

What Causes Oil to Enter the Spark Plug?

Oil entering the spark plug is due to the aging of the valve cover gasket, which is responsible for sealing the engine lubricating oil. When this component ages, lubricating oil naturally appears on the spark plug. Additionally, the spark plug itself may have quality issues (such as gap misalignment or short circuits), and these oil contaminants enter through the threads, necessitating the replacement of a new spark plug. The spark plug, commonly known as the 'fire nozzle,' functions by discharging the high-voltage pulse electricity sent from the high-voltage wire (spark plug wire), breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. The main types of spark plugs include: standard spark plugs, extended insulator spark plugs, electrode-type spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, and surface-gap spark plugs, among others.

How to Test Whether an Oxygen Sensor is Good or Bad?

To test whether an oxygen sensor is good or bad, unplug the oxygen sensor connector and observe whether the engine fault disappears. Below is a detailed introduction to the oxygen sensor: Overview of the Oxygen Sensor: The automotive oxygen sensor is a critical sensing component in the electronic fuel injection engine control system. It is a key part in controlling vehicle exhaust emissions, reducing environmental pollution caused by vehicles, and improving the fuel combustion quality of the car engine. Oxygen sensors are installed on the engine exhaust pipe. Main Functions of the Oxygen Sensor: The oxygen sensor enables the engine to obtain the optimal concentration of the air-fuel mixture, thereby reducing the emission of harmful gases and saving fuel. By measuring whether there is an excess of oxygen in the exhaust after engine combustion, the oxygen sensor converts the oxygen content into a voltage signal and transmits it to the engine computer, allowing the engine to achieve closed-loop control targeted at the excess air factor.

How to Drive a Dual-Clutch Automatic Transmission?

Dual-clutch is just one type of clutch transmission mechanism, and in terms of driving techniques, it is almost no different from a regular AT automatic transmission car. The specific details are as follows: Differences between dual-clutch automatic transmission and manual transmission: The dual-clutch automatic transmission (abbreviated as DCT) is based on the manual transmission. Unlike the manual transmission, the two clutches in DCT are connected to two input shafts, and gear shifting and clutch operations are achieved through an integrated mechatronic module of electronic and hydraulic components, rather than through a clutch pedal operation. It is similar to a tiptronic hydraulic automatic transmission. Manual shifting: The driver can manually shift gears or place the gear lever in the fully automatic D mode (comfort mode, shifting at low engine speeds) or S mode (sport mode, shifting at high engine speeds). In this mode, gear shifting is usually achieved by the gear and clutch actuators.

Why Do Diesel Vehicles Emit White Smoke?

Diesel vehicles emit white smoke due to the following reasons: 1. Insufficient combustion temperature: When the engine temperature is too low, the fuel injected into the cylinder forms a mixture with air that cannot fully combust, resulting in white smoke from the exhaust pipe. 2. Water in the diesel fuel: The presence of water in diesel directly affects the normal combustion of the mixture, causing white smoke. 3. Delayed fuel injection: If the fuel injection timing is too late, the cylinder temperature has already dropped by the time of injection, causing some diesel to turn into vapor without burning, leading to white smoke. 4. Poor fuel injector atomization: Inadequate atomization prevents the diesel from burning completely, and when it mixes with the high-temperature exhaust gases from normally functioning cylinders in the exhaust pipe, white smoke is produced. 5. Low cylinder pressure: Some diesel turns into vapor without burning, thus emitting white smoke from the exhaust pipe.
