The car's rearview mirror suddenly stops retracting automatically because the battery is disconnected or out of power. When the car is almost out of power, it does not display many question marks, but many warning lights will illuminate. Below is an introduction to battery-related content: Charging method: Use constant voltage and current limiting for charging. Duration: Charge for 16 hours at a constant voltage of 14.8V and a current limit of 15A, then charge for 4 hours at a constant current of 3A, totaling 20 hours. Below is extended information on battery charging voltage and current: Voltage: The charging voltage for motorcycles is 12V. During the charging process, the charging voltage is mostly between 13.5-14.5V. When charged in the vehicle by the rectifier, it does not exceed 15V. If using a charger, the charging voltage is generally 14V. Current: During the charging process, the charging current should not be too large. Car owners are advised not to use fast charging. When charging, use half of the rated charging current and extend the rated charging time by double.

Can Car Wheel Hubs Be Repainted?

Car wheel hubs can be repainted. The wheel hub refers to the cylindrical metal component inside the tire that supports it, with its center mounted on the axle. Also known as the rim or steel ring, it is a crucial part connecting the brake drum or brake disc, wheel disc, and axle, working in conjunction with the tire to support the wheel and determine the tire's specifications. Daily maintenance tips for wheel hubs include: 1. When the wheel hub is hot, allow it to cool naturally before cleaning, and avoid using cold water for cleaning; 2. Do not use cleaning agents on aluminum alloy wheel hubs at high temperatures; 3. For stubborn tar stains on the wheel hub, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid damaging the hub's surface.

Is it safe to store alcohol in a car?

Storing alcohol in a car is not recommended as it poses safety risks to both drivers and passengers. Alcohol is highly flammable and volatile. If stored in glass bottles with convex lens-like shapes that focus sunlight, it may ignite the alcohol and cause severe explosions. Precautions for using alcohol as a car disinfectant include: 1. Alcohol being a flammable substance, immediately wipe dry after spraying; 2. Store alcohol in well-ventilated areas with windows open; 3. Focus on spraying surfaces rather than hard-to-reach interior spots; 4. Avoid smoking in the car after disinfection to prevent explosions or fires; 5. Refrain from using alcohol to clean leather seats.

How to Check Tire Wear Level?

To check tire wear level, observe the thickness from the top to the bottom of the tread grooves. Tires need replacement when: 1. Exceeding service life or mileage limit; 2. Severe tread wear; 3. Abnormal tire pressure; 4. Significant tire cuts. Precautions for tire replacement: 1. Check production date - inventory shouldn't exceed 3 years; 2. Inspect tread pattern and color for abnormalities; 3. Ensure smooth transition between tread and sidewall; 4. Avoid mixing tires with different structures/sizes. Tire functions: 1. Support vehicle weight; 2. Absorb road shocks and vibrations.

What is the ignition advance angle?

The ignition advance angle is between 6 to 12 degrees. It refers to the crankshaft's rotation angle from the moment the spark plug fires (before the engine piston reaches the compression top dead center) until the piston reaches the compression top dead center. The ignition advance angle system consists of a microcomputer, various sensors, and an ignition actuator. The adjustment method for the ignition advance angle is: 1. Check if the platinum contacts show signs of burning; 2. Remove the secondary chamber vacuum hose from the vacuum advance compensation device, block the two ports connected to the hose, and let the engine idle; 3. Use a timing light to check the ignition advance angle; 4. Rotating the distributor housing counterclockwise will increase the ignition advance angle; 5. Rotating the distributor housing clockwise will decrease the ignition advance angle.
