Why do the mirrors appear parallel but are actually not parallel?

The reason is that the rearview mirror angle is not properly adjusted, and also when looking at the rearview mirror, you should focus on the side of the car body closest to the lane line. The side of the car body farther from the lane line will appear parallel in the rearview mirror but is actually not parallel. The functions of rearview mirrors: 1. Convenience for the driver: To facilitate the driver's operation, prevent traffic safety accidents, and ensure personal safety, rearview mirrors must be installed in cars, and all rearview mirrors must be adjustable. The driver can directly obtain external information about the rear, side, and lower parts of the car while seated in the driver's seat. 2. Checking the rearview mirror during emergency braking: When there is an emergency ahead requiring sudden braking, observe the central rearview mirror to see if there is a closely following vehicle behind, and then appropriately release the brake slightly based on the distance from the vehicle in front.

Why is there a strong gasoline smell after starting the car?

The reasons for a strong gasoline smell after starting the car are: 1. Insufficient air intake in the car's throttle, leading to incorrect air flow information and affecting the fuel injection volume; 2. Excessive carbon deposits in the cylinder combustion chamber and pistons, resulting in insufficient cylinder pressure and overly rich air-fuel mixture; 3. Excessive carbon deposits inside the engine, causing poor atomization of the air-fuel mixture; 4. Leakage in the gasoline pipe, forming sludge at the pipe connections, with the odor entering the car through the air conditioning system. In older cars, rubber pipes in the engine compartment are prone to aging, leading to leaks. If you notice a strong gasoline smell when starting the car and the smell persists, you should check the condition of the fuel pipes.

Is a Wheel Alignment Necessary for Tire Wear?

Tire wear definitely requires a wheel alignment. The causes of tire wear include: 1. Inaccurate wheel alignment, leading to tire wear when the two wheels on the same side operate or the front and rear wheels are misaligned; 2. Incorrect toe adjustment can also cause tire wear; 3. Steering gear failure may also lead to tire wear and deviation. Wheel alignment ensures the tight contact between tires and the ground by adjusting the geometric angles of the tires, steering, suspension, and other components. The actual operation is not very simple because wheel alignment involves adjusting suspension parameters such as camber angle, caster angle, toe angle, kingpin inclination angle, etc. The process involves many aspects, and the time required may vary.
