The Civic Dark Blue is called 'Car Wash Blue' because the color difference of the Civic in this shade is quite noticeable before and after a car wash, hence the playful nickname given by owners. Introduction to car body colors: Car color is one of the elements of automotive styling. It includes the paint color of the exterior and the colors of various materials in the interior. When the interior environment of the car and the exterior color harmonize with the surroundings, it provides a pleasant aesthetic experience for passengers and pedestrians. Common car body colors in China: In China, mid-to-high-end sedans, due to the significant proportion of business and official use, coupled with the relatively conservative mindset of Chinese car consumers who psychologically prefer the more conservative and moderate designs of Japanese and German cars, black still dominates the largest market share. It appears more upscale yet not overly flashy.

How to Remove the Interior Rearview Mirror of a Focus?

The method for removing the interior rearview mirror of a Focus: 1. Remove the mirror glass, which is relatively simple. Adjust the mirror to its maximum angle and pull it off by hand, being careful not to force it from one side. After removing the mirror glass, disconnect the two plugs. Adjust the positions of the internal clips to the left state, then carefully open the back cover with a pry tool. After removing the cover, unscrew the four screws at the back and disconnect all visible plugs. Note that many have clips and should not be forced. 2. Separate the pivot and mounting post. The main method is to insert the pry tool according to the position, then hold the ground light position of the mirror with both hands, lift it upward, and slowly rotate the mirror toward the front of the car. When the mirror passes a locking position, it can be separated. This requires some trial and error to find the correct locking position. After removal, you will find a screw, which should be removed. Then, remove the ground light and its plug. Finally, pull all the wires out through the hole in the center of the pivot, starting with the thinner plugs. After removing the lower shell, the mirror can be taken off.

How to Add Windshield Washer Fluid to a Lavida?

The method for adding windshield washer fluid to a Volkswagen Lavida is as follows: 1. Open the hood and locate the washer fluid reservoir in the engine compartment. 2. Find the cap marked with a windshield wiper symbol, then open it. 3. Pour the prepared windshield washer fluid into the reservoir until it is full. Precautions for adding windshield washer fluid to a Lavida: 1. Dilution is necessary. Purchased windshield washer fluid needs to be diluted before use. Simply follow the instructions on the product manual. 2. In summer, adding products like distilled water is acceptable, but be sure to avoid liquids with impurities, as they may clog the washer nozzles. Additionally, ensure to completely spray out and replace the fluid before winter arrives. 3. Do not overfill. When adding windshield washer fluid yourself, be careful not to overfill the reservoir. Some foam at the opening does not affect usage. 4. In autumn and winter, the windshield washer fluid should have excellent cleaning and antifreeze properties. Winter windshield washer fluid should be selected based on its antifreeze performance, choosing a product with a freezing point at least 10°C below the local minimum temperature. Otherwise, the fluid may freeze, leading to issues such as a malfunctioning washer pump.

How to Lock the Steering Lock?

Introduction to locking the steering lock: Turn the vehicle's steering to approximately 45 degrees to the left and rotate the key to the left. The key cannot be pulled out, and the handlebar will not be in position, so it cannot be locked. Therefore, the key cannot be pulled out, but the locked key can be removed. Below is relevant information about the steering lock: 1. Features: The structure of the steering lock is designed to be difficult to pry open, thereby enhancing anti-theft effectiveness. The steering lock has a simple structure, low cost, easy operation, and is suitable for industrial production. 2. Structure: It consists of a lock body, lock core, spring, and pins. When locking the vehicle, the key is used to rotate the lock core out from the lock body. The lock core, fixed on the lock body, passes through the front fork steering tube and the front connecting tube, preventing relative rotation between the front fork steering tube and the front connecting tube. The lock core is characterized by being composed of a main lock core and a secondary lock core. The front part of the main lock core has a cylindrical structure, with the inner hole serving as the keyhole. Inside the main lock core and the secondary lock core, there is a set of pin holes arranged in a cylindrical structure, with the axes of the pin holes parallel to the axis of the lock core.

What are the standards for vehicle damage assessment by insurance companies?

It is based on the standards of the insurance company. The damage assessment results may vary between different claim points of the same insurance company, and even different assessors at the same claim point may produce different results, as the damage is usually estimated visually. More information about damage assessment is as follows: 1. Overview: When an insured vehicle is involved in a traffic accident, the first thing the insurance company does is to inspect the scene and assess the damage to the insured vehicle. Vehicle damage assessment involves a comprehensive analysis of the collision and accident scene based on automotive construction principles, using scientific and systematic professional inspection, testing, and surveying methods, along with vehicle damage assessment data and repair data, to scientifically and systematically estimate the cost of collision repairs. 2. Others: After the damage assessment, the repair cost must be paid first. The repair fee must be paid to the repair shop, and then the insurance company will transfer the compensation to the owner's account under the same name. The insurance company will transfer the money to the policyholder's account within three days. In case of major accidents where the accident liability, insurance liability, and damage assessment amount are determined, and it is difficult to provide the compensation immediately, an advance payment application can be submitted. The insurance company will make an advance payment of no less than 50% of the assessed damage amount within 3 working days.

What brand are the original brake pads for Honda CR-V?

The original brake pads for Honda CR-V are provided by Honda itself, as they are OEM parts. Below are the requirements that the brake pads must meet: 1. Friction Coefficient: It is crucial for the brake pads to maintain a stable friction coefficient under various conditions, including cold, wet, high temperatures, alternating hot and cold, and extreme heat. 2. Service Life: The goal is to extend the service life as much as possible, reducing the frequency of replacements. 3. Comfort: Comfort should feel effortless and intuitive. Achieving this through formulation adjustments is challenging—the braking coefficient cannot be too high or too low. If the friction coefficient is too high, the braking performance is strong, but the car may dip, shake, or produce noise. If it's too low, it becomes dangerous, as the car may not stop when expected. 4. Thermal Expansion: Continuous or emergency braking can generate high temperatures. According to the principle of thermal expansion, the brake pads will expand. However, this expansion must remain within a very small range. Excessive expansion can reduce the gap between the pad and the rotor, causing the pads to remain in contact with the rotor during normal driving. This can lead to increased oil temperature in the brake cylinder, oil leakage, and ultimately, brake failure.
