How to Adjust the Rearview Mirror of the Teana?

Teana has an adjustment button on the door panel. The toggle adjustment lever is located at the upper right of the door, and you can adjust the rearview mirror by toggling this lever. Rearview mirrors can be classified into two types based on their adjustment methods: external adjustment and internal adjustment. 1. External adjustment involves manually adjusting the position of the mirror frame or mirror surface while the vehicle is parked to achieve the desired viewing angle. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to complete conveniently in one go. The driver needs to reach out of the window to adjust the mirror while seated, which is inconvenient during driving or rainy conditions. Generally, large vehicles, trucks, and low-end buses adopt this external adjustment method to reduce costs. 2. Internal adjustment allows the driver to adjust the rearview mirror while driving, providing more convenient conditions for observing the rear view. Most mid-range and high-end cars use internal adjustment. This method is further divided into manual adjustment (using a wire cable transmission or a handle) and electric adjustment.

What does the highway ETC system refer to?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. ETC charging method: Through microwave-dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle's RFID tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses networked technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment system. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driver's license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Fill out a bank debit card application form, which will be used to bind the ETC card. After receiving the card, you can go to a designated bank branch to collect and install the ETC onboard device for free, with no additional charges. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own a personal vehicle. Documents required for company vehicles: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); original ID of the agent; original vehicle registration certificate; the vehicle that needs to apply for ETC. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not block the line of sight. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rearward tilt angle on the windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it may increase the driver's blind spot. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid blocking the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and do not place it where the solar panel might be easily blocked. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If it is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to go to an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device.

What are the correct steps for driving an automatic transmission car?

Correct starting method for automatic transmission cars (with one-touch start function): 1. After the driver sits in the driver's seat, there is no need to press the brake. Simply press the start button once to activate the ACC light, then press it again for the vehicle to perform a self-check. It is recommended not to skip the self-check step during each cold start, while it can be skipped during a warm start. 2. Press the brake and then press the start button again to ignite and start the engine. Normally, the engine will start within 3 seconds of pressing the ignition switch. If the engine has difficulty starting, avoid frequent attempts; let the starter rest for a while after every 5 attempts to prevent burning it out. 3. Release the foot brake and choose to warm up the car in place. The duration can be adjusted according to the environment. Specifically, you can refer to the water temperature gauge on the dashboard. When the water temperature reaches and stabilizes around 90 degrees, it indicates that the warm-up is complete. 4. Press the foot brake again, shift to D gear, and release the handbrake (for electronic handbrakes, simply press the button briefly). Before starting, check the road conditions through the rearview mirror to ensure it is suitable for starting, and also use the horn and turn signals to alert other vehicles and pedestrians. 5. Slowly release the foot brake to start. After starting, quickly enter the road and drive at the prescribed speed.

What Causes the Clicking Sound in the Transmission?

If the transmission produces a clicking sound, it is caused by the increased gap between the gears. The increased gap between the gears is due to excessive wear, and in such cases, the transmission gears need to be replaced promptly. Below are the relevant details: 1. The transmission requires maintenance. 2. The transmission contains transmission fluid, which needs to be replaced regularly. If the transmission fluid is not changed for a long time, it can lead to abnormal wear of the gears inside the transmission. 3. If the gears experience abnormal wear, the gap between them will increase, resulting in unusual noises from the transmission. It is recommended that car owners replace the transmission fluid on schedule during regular vehicle use.
