1. In summer, if you find fog on the car window while driving, don't think about what's wrong. It may be that your air conditioner vent has been blowing towards the car window glass. Twisting the air conditioner vent will solve the problem.

2. Check whether there are nails in the tire. In the absence of professional equipment, you can first turn the steering wheel to the left to expose a large area of the tire for inspection, and then turn it to the right.

3. How to turn on the headlight cleaning? First, you need to determine whether the vehicle has a headlight cleaning function, find the control lever of the wiper spray, bend the control lever forward, and hold it for a few seconds. In this way, the headlights will be cleaned. Some cars need to turn on the headlights and high beams.

4. Can the license plate of Alfa Romeo be placed on the left? No! Because the law stipulates that the license plate can only be placed in the middle or to the right of the middle, and the rear license plate can only be placed in the middle or to the left! Some foreign Alfa Romeo front license plates can be placed on the left.

5. Many new energy models do not have a one-button start function. The concept of keeping the engine running after getting on the car and getting off does not exist. Sometimes the car will shut down if you are a little away from the car, which is very inconvenient. At this time, you can turn on the off-power hold function, so that the car will not shut down when you leave, which is more convenient to use.

6. When you need to use the windshield water, you will regret that there is not enough. Many people have experienced that when the front windshield needs to be cleaned, they find that the windshield water is gone. If you are really anxious at this time, you can use mineral water to solve the urgent problem, but you still need to replenish the windshield water later. You cannot use tap water or mineral water and other liquids for a long time, which is easy to gather impurities and scale in the rubber tube.

7. The windshield water can be temporarily replaced by mineral water, so can the refrigerant be replaced by water? Again, a small amount is acceptable under extreme special circumstances. For example, when the refrigerant is insufficient, you can add a little for temporary emergency, but you cannot add a large amount. And you must pay attention to adding pure water instead of mineral water and tap water to prevent stratification. You must also pay attention to the temperature not being below zero, otherwise it is easy to freeze.

8. Why do some cars have no rear wiper? Many people have found that sedans often do not have rear wipers, while hatchbacks and SUVs are equipped with rear wipers. This is mainly because the design of SUVs and hatchbacks has a large rear glass area, which is easy to adhere to dust and rain. A rear wiper can ensure a better field of vision.

9. How to judge the distance from the rearview mirror. Take the left rearview mirror as an example. Looking at the vehicle from the mirror, the closer to the right (inside) side, the farther the distance. The right rearview mirror is just the opposite. The closer to the right (outside), the closer the distance.

10. The method and standard for judging the distance between vehicles with the rearview mirror. If you can barely see the entire body of the rear vehicle from the rearview mirror, the distance is about 10 meters. If you can only see half of the body, then the distance is about 5 meters. If the rearview mirror can see the entire body of the rear vehicle, and the body only occupies about 1/4 of the rearview mirror, then the distance is more than 20 meters, and corresponding steering and other operations can be performed.

11. The rearview mirror is divided into inside and outside. The inside, which is the side close to the car body, is the safe zone. If the rear car is in this position, it means that the driving distance is guaranteed to be within the safe range. If it is on the outside, it is a dangerous zone, and the rear car is close. Whether it is turning or changing lanes, it needs to be operated with caution.

12. How to adjust the rearview mirror? On the premise of adjusting the driver's seat, ensure that the rear windshield is in the field of view of the rearview mirror, ensure that the rearview mirror can see your right ear, and keep the road horizon not higher than 1/2 of the mirror.

13. How to adjust the left and right rearview mirrors? Take the left rearview mirror as an example. Ensure that the door handle of the left front door is located in the lower right corner of the rearview mirror in the mirror, and the same is true for the right rearview mirror. Ensure that the door handle of the right front door is located in the lower left corner of the rearview mirror. At this time, the visual blind spot can be guaranteed to be minimized.

14. Can I add oil from a small gas station? There are many gas stations with large price differences. The oil products of regular and legal gas stations will not have any problems, but you must choose gasoline with a standard oil number suitable for your car model.

15. Can a car marked with 92# gasoline be filled with 95# gasoline? The answer is yes.

2c77e36b0caa45b5a0c804f51c7b98e0_noop.jpg

16. A car marked with 92# can be filled with 95# gasoline, so can a car marked with 95# be filled with 92# gasoline? No, there will be cylinder knocking, which will affect the service life of the engine.

17. What is the difference between gasoline marked with 92# and 95#? The cost is different. The higher the grade, the higher the octane content and the stronger the anti-knock ability. Secondly, the higher the grade, the higher the price and the better the stability.

18. Why do different models require different gasoline grades? It is determined according to the design and requirements of the engine. Different engines have different compression ratios and different technical complexities. Ensure that the fuel is completely burned and the normal operation and performance of the engine.

19. How often should the air filter be changed? When summer comes, many people will find that there is a peculiar smell when turning on the air conditioner, which proves that the air filter should be changed. In theory, it should be changed every 10,000 kilometers or about half a year, and it should be determined according to the vehicle environment.

20. How often should the engine oil be changed? Engine oil is divided into semi-synthetic engine oil and fully synthetic engine oil. The frequency of replacement varies depending on the model and frequency of use. However, in general, semi-synthetic engine oil is replaced every six months/5,000 kilometers, and fully synthetic engine oil is replaced every year/10,000 kilometers.

21. How often should the oil filter be replaced? Generally, it is half a year/5,000 kilometers, but in reality, the engine oil and the oil filter are replaced at the same time, so there is no need to remember the frequency and time, just follow the oil change.

22. Our routine maintenance is to replace consumable parts such as oil, filter and air filter, but do you know how often the transmission oil is replaced? The replacement cycle of different models and types is generally recommended to be replaced every three years/60,000 kilometers, and the specific situation also needs to be determined according to the vehicle environment.

23. How often should tires be replaced? Normally, it is three to five years, but it also depends on the frequency of use and road conditions. In many cases, the mileage is high, the road conditions are bad, and the tread is severely worn, so it needs to be replaced in advance.

24. A tire blowout at high speed is very dangerous. If a tire blowout occurs while the vehicle is driving at high speed, it is easy to lose control and cause a chain accident. Therefore, check the condition of the tire as much as possible before driving at high speed and pay attention to the tire pressure detection system.

25. Once a tire blowout occurs at high speed, hold the steering wheel tightly and control the direction of the vehicle as much as possible. Do not slam on the brakes. Turn on the double flash to signal the car next to you, then reduce the speed and pull over according to the road conditions. While calling for help, pay attention to setting up warning signs to avoid other accidents.

26. After parking, the wheels should be straightened as much as possible. Many people think that whether the wheels are straightened or not has no effect on the vehicle, but in fact this habit is not a good habit. If the steering wheel is not straightened for a long time, or even kept in a dead position, it will affect the steering system such as the pull rod, and even biased after a long time.

27. Precautions for using air conditioners, distinguish between internal circulation and external circulation. Internal circulation refers to the air circulation in the car. As the name suggests, external circulation will allow air outside the car to enter the car. Control the buttons to select according to different car usage situations.

28. Some people say that when it rains or the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car and the humidity are too large, sometimes the front windshield and the side windows will fog up, affecting the field of vision and posing a safety hazard. In this case, there will generally be a separate Front or fan-shaped glass icon near the central control panel. Just turn on this button to improve this situation.

29. Do not keep the internal circulation state all the time. Turn on the external circulation frequently to ensure air circulation in the car.

30. You must not turn on the air conditioner and close the windows to sleep in the car. Even if you take a nap, you must leave a gap in the windows, otherwise there will be a risk of life.

31. Never leave babies and children alone in the car. Many people think that it is okay for children to wait in the car after getting off the car for only a few minutes. This is a big mistake. Every year, especially in summer, there are many tragedies of children suffocating to death in the car. Remember, pets and children cannot be left alone in a closed car.

32. Many vehicles have the ESP button. Some people don't know what it is used for. Don't turn it off casually. It is a body stability control system that can prevent tires from slipping. So if you are not a professional and are not doing some challenging operations on the car, don't turn off this button in normal use.

33. Good parking habits. Before parking, turn off the air conditioner, pull the handbrake or put it in P gear, then close all the windows and return the steering wheel to the center. These behaviors will not take up too much time, but the persistence of good habits will not harm your car and will avoid a lot of losses and troubles.

34. Good habits before driving. Driving is not just getting in the car and going, but there are several small steps. Walk around the vehicle before getting in the car, observe the surrounding road conditions and whether there are small animals or children in the blind spot of vision to eliminate safety hazards.

35. Matters needing attention in the use of lights. Under normal circumstances, in an urban environment with street lights, it is sufficient for the vehicle to only use low beam. In the case of high-speed driving and without street lights, the high beam can be turned on to ensure a good field of vision. However, when two vehicles meet, it is necessary to switch back to low beam to avoid the high beam causing a blind spot for the opposite vehicle.

36. If a tire blows out and the spare tire is replaced, it must be replaced at the repair shop as soon as possible. The spare tire must not be used for a long time, because the specifications and sizes of the tires and the degree of wear are different from other tires, which also poses a safety hazard and can only be used for emergency.

37. There are also precautions for temporary parking. Many people have bad car-using habits. When parking temporarily, the vehicle directly rushes onto the curb or parks on an uneven road surface. The vehicle remains in a twisted state. The frame will also be affected over time, and forcing the curb will also affect the tires and chassis, so it is necessary to pay attention.

38. When passing over speed bumps, you should pay attention to slowing down. Speed bumps, as the name implies, require vehicles to slow down. If you do not maintain a low speed, the bumps will be stronger, affecting the ride comfort and causing impact and damage to the suspension system.

39. Speed bumps are mostly set up at intersections and schools where you need to slow down. If you do not slow down, there will be safety hazards, so you must drive legally and in compliance with regulations.

40. Will refueling after the fuel gauge is on cause damage to the car? There is no big impact. Under normal circumstances, when the fuel gauge indicator light is on, the gasoline in the tank is enough to travel a certain distance. The reason why you should not wait until the fuel gauge light is on is that you are afraid that there is no gas station nearby and you cannot refill the gasoline in time.

41. After parking, you must pay attention to checking the surrounding road conditions when getting off the car. Before opening the car door, you must observe whether there are pedestrians and vehicles to prevent accidents.

42. When driving in the rain, you must pay close attention. When you encounter a reflective road surface or a puddle, you must slow down and not rush through it. Because the depth of the puddle cannot be judged from the outside, and you don’t know whether there are foreign objects in the puddle. If the speed is too fast, it is very likely to cause damage to the tire chassis and other parts.

43. Driving in the rain, especially at night, is a big test for car owners. The reflection of the water on the road affects the vision, and the ground signs and lines are not clear, which is easy to drive illegally. At this time, you can turn on the navigation to assist driving.

44. When using a car in winter, if there is always snow on the road due to the road conditions and environment in the area, you can replace the winter tires according to the situation. The grip is stronger and it can also avoid slipping and accidents.

45. Do you need to warm up the car when you get in the car in winter? Yes, but it doesn’t take too long. You won’t start the car and drive away. It’s almost enough to check the surrounding hidden dangers, observe the situation around the vehicle, and switch gears, adjust the seats and mirrors. Moreover, the initial driving can be kept at a low starting speed, which can also warm up the car.

46. The air conditioner cannot be turned on for internal circulation in winter. Many people are afraid of the cold and keep the heater + internal circulation on. This can easily cause the air in the car to be blocked, and people are prone to drowsiness and accidents. Therefore, the external circulation should be turned on occasionally to ensure air circulation.

47. What should I do if the windshield is frozen in winter? The simplest way is to cover it with solid shielding in advance, such as some car covers or cardboard shielding of the right size.

48. What should I do if the car window is frozen? You cannot pour hot water directly on the glass. The temperature difference is too large and it is easy to cause the glass to break. You can turn on the warm air in the car, soak a towel in warm water and cover it outside, soften it little by little, and use professional deicing banana tools to quickly de-ice.

50. Another trick to prevent car windows from freezing is to open the car windows for a while after turning off the heater when getting off the car, so as to keep the temperature inside and outside the car the same, without temperature difference and not easy to freeze. However, this situation is only applicable to the southern region where it is not too cold, and it is not suitable for the northern region where the temperature is often minus ten degrees and dozens of degrees.

51. Sometimes the ice on the glass has little impact, but the wiper is frozen on the windshield, which affects the travel. What should I do? Many people choose to put the wiper upright, but there is no need to do so. You can still use solid shielding objects to separate the wiper and the glass with cardboard to prevent freezing and adhesion, or you can soak a towel in warm water and cover it to prevent freezing and adhesion.

52. Sometimes when driving at night, the high beam of the rear car is a problem for the driver. At this time, the anti-glare function of the rearview mirror is needed. Some cars are automatically anti-glare, and some cars need to be adjusted manually. There is a small black button behind the rearview mirror. Just press it, and you will find that the lens of the rearview mirror appears at an angle, and the lights of the rear car are no longer dazzling.

53. Make good use of the rearview mirror heating function. Many people think that the seats are not heated, so what can the rearview mirror heating do? It can be very useful on rainy days. Once you feel that there is water and fog in the rearview mirror, which affects the vision, you can turn on this function to ensure a better vision.

54. Sometimes you should also be good at using some small tools, such as some films, which can be attached to the rearview mirror and the door glass near the A-pillar to ensure that water droplets slide without leaving traces, better ensure the vision, and ensure a safe environment for car use.

55. Turn right for a small turn and turn left for a big turn. This can ensure a greater safety distance from the car next to you and make it easier to avoid accidents.

56. Matters needing attention in the use of fog lights. In rainy and foggy weather, when the vision and visibility are affected, you need to turn on the fog lights, which can not only illuminate the road, but also have a warning effect on the following vehicles. It should be noted that some vehicles have only one fog light.

57. Can I sit in the front passenger seat with a child in my arms? No, whether from the perspective of safety or legal driving, children under 12 years old cannot be in the front passenger seat, and young children should be in safety seats to ensure travel safety.

58. When driving a vehicle in summer, you cannot wear slippers. First, it is illegal, and second, it is easy to have safety hazards.

59. When using a car in summer, be careful not to place flammable items in the car, especially lighters, etc., which are easy to cause explosions and may also cause the vehicle to catch fire due to excessive temperatures.

60. Precautions for using a car on a highway. The emergency lane can only be used in emergency situations. Under normal circumstances, the emergency lane should not be occupied.

61. Airbags also have an expiration date, but generally, cars that have been used for more than eight or ten years need to pay attention. The indicator light of the airbag will flash, which is generally not the case with new cars.

62. If you feel that the vehicle is a bit off track, you need to do a four-wheel alignment, which is still necessary.

63. If you feel that the brakes will shake, then you need to check the brake system. Generally, the brake disc needs to be replaced, which is easy to occur on older vehicles.

64. When buying a car, try to avoid dry dual-clutch transmissions. Heat dissipation is prone to failure. This is caused by the inherent design. If it is a wet dual-clutch transmission with liquid added, there will be no such problem.

65. If there is a sunroof, you must pay attention to maintenance and regular inspections. Over time, the rubber strips of the sunroof will age and leak easily.

66. Try not to place sundries on the center console in the car, especially some decorative ornaments, which are easy to cause secondary damage in the event of a collision and emergency braking.

67. If the vehicle stalls in the water during summer use, do not start it again. Turn off the vehicle and leave it parked in place waiting for rescue.

68. In summer, you should also beware of spontaneous combustion. Generally, it occurs in some older products with aging lines. When parking, you need to pay attention to sun protection, and once you smell odors and burning smells, you should pay attention and brake in time.

69. Bird droppings are more harmful to car paint than dust and dirt. Bird excrement is corrosive and can easily damage car paint.

70. Be careful of fatigue driving. Generally, long-term driving will lead to inattention and prone to accidents. Therefore, you can stop at a service area or roadside to rest and relax before continuing to drive after driving for about 2 hours.

71. If you feel that the car has a peculiar smell, you can buy some activated carbon bags and put them on the vehicle, but you must pay attention to regular replacement to prevent saturation.

72. When driving on the highway, you must drive at the prescribed speed. You cannot exceed the speed too fast or too slow. According to the road requirements, drive in a reasonable speed range. It is illegal to drive slowly.

73. Don't drink while driving, don't drive after drinking. I hope every driver can remember this and implement it in daily car life.

74. Understand the language of car lights. For example, the rear car will flash high beams when overtaking. When two cars meet, the opposite car switches the light source, which is also a reminder to switch back to low beam.

75. Too much is as bad as too little. This is also reflected in the use and maintenance of vehicles. For example, the tire inflation is not the more the better, but also needs to be within a reasonable range.

76. Familiar with the vehicle manual, you will find that many questions are answered in detail in the manual.

77. Drive safely and carefully. In many cases, driving habits are the first factor leading to accidents. You must drive legally and safely. There are thousands of roads, but safety is the first.
