7 routine maintenance items for cars

Regarding the maintenance items and cycle of the car, I believe that most car owners do not know very well, and it is estimated that everyone will be handled by the 4S shop.

In fact, when driving, car owners and friends should pay more attention to the warning signs on the dashboard, and also pay attention to the maintenance items and maintenance cycles of the car, such as oil, machine filter, air filter, air filter, spark plug, etc. Take care of our car carefully so that it can work better for us and increase its service life.

Let’s talk about what maintenance items should be done in each maintenance cycle and some precautions.

Note: Since the maintenance items or maintenance time of each model are different, the maintenance time recommended by the manufacturer or 4S shop shall prevail.

1. Oil and oil filter

Maintenance cycle: every 5000 kilometers or so

Under normal circumstances, the first guarantee is carried out at 5000 kilometers or 6 months (whichever comes first), and then the vehicle is maintained every 5000 kilometers or 6 months. Of course, the maintenance time or mileage of models of different brands are not the same. You can refer to the maintenance time recommended by the manufacturer or 4S shop.

2. Air filter

Maintenance cycle: every 20,000 kilometers

The air filter plays a role in filtering out dust and sand particles in the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinder. However, after a period of use of the air filter, dust will stick to the filter element, so corresponding maintenance and replacement must be carried out, otherwise the filtering capacity will be reduced, the air circulation will also be hindered, and the engine will not work normally. Therefore, regular maintenance of the air filter is also crucial.

3. Air conditioning filter

Maintenance cycle: every 20,000 kilometers

The air conditioning filter plays a vital role in the air filtration in the car. It can filter out pollen, soot, benzene, methanol, PM2.5, tiny organisms and other inhalable tiny particles, keep the air in the car clean, and give it to the car. Passengers provide a good air environment.

Precautions:

Ordinary air-conditioning filters can only inhibit the entry of dust and particles, while the activated carbon series air-conditioning filters can use the physical properties of activated carbon itself to absorb other tiny organisms and more harmful substances in the air, so it is recommended to use Air-conditioning filter of the activated carbon series.

4. Spark plug

Maintenance cycle: every 30,000 kilometers

Long-term use of the flower plug will cause carbon deposits, which will cause insufficient engine combustion and difficulty in starting. Therefore, the vehicle needs to replace the spark plug regularly to maintain the best running state of the engine.

Precautions:

There are many spark plug brands on the market, and there are many different brands. It is recommended to use platinum or iridium spark plugs. Its characteristic is to make the engine start faster and save a certain amount of fuel consumption.

5. Brake fluid

Maintenance cycle: every 30,000 kilometers

Brake fluid, also known as brake fluid, is an indispensable part of the braking system. Frequent braking during driving generates a lot of frictional heat, which increases the temperature of the braking system. If a brake fluid with a low boiling point and easy to evaporate is used, the brake fluid will evaporate at high temperatures, and the pipes of the local brake system are filled with steam. , Resulting in air lock, causing brake failure.

Precautions:

Try to buy at qualified large-scale sales places to prevent counterfeit and inferior products; it is best to use professional equipment to replace them, so that they can be more thorough without residual impurities and avoid air resistance.

6. Gasoline filter

Maintenance cycle: every 60,000 kilometers

The function of the gasoline filter is to filter out the iron oxide, dust and other solid impurities or moisture contained in the gasoline to ensure that the clean gasoline enters the engine for full combustion. If the gasoline filter is too dirty or clogged, it will cause insufficient engine power and difficulty in starting. At this time, the oil filter should be replaced in time to extend the service life of the engine.

Precautions:

The gasoline filter is an important component of the electronic fuel injection system. Only the original matching or higher quality gasoline filter can provide the clean fuel required by the electronic fuel injection system, so as to optimize the engine performance, so everyone chooses the gasoline filter Pay attention to this when cleaning the instrument.

7. Transmission oil

Maintenance cycle: every 60,000 kilometers

Gearbox oil is an oil product that keeps the gearshift system clean. It can ensure the normal operation of the gearbox and extend the life of the transmission device. It can also provide effective lubrication at low temperatures and reduce oil loss.

Precautions:

When changing the oil, it is necessary to replace the automatic gearbox oil specified by the manufacturer. This is because different automatic gearboxes have different internal structures, friction parts and sealing parts. The original oil is based on the structure and material of the gearbox. The formulated oils of other brands may not be suitable even if they are of good quality.

In addition, many current models use electronic power assistance, so there is no need to change the steering power oil. If it is mechanically assisted, it will be carried out at 60,000 kilometers.

What is the Principle of Oxygen Sensor?

As a GEELY Oxygen Sensor Supplier, share it with you.

In engines that use a three-way catalytic converter to reduce exhaust pollution, the oxygen sensor is an essential component. Once the air-fuel ratio of the mixed gas deviates from the theoretical air-fuel ratio, the purification ability of the three-way catalyst for CO, HC and NOx will drop sharply. Therefore, an oxygen sensor is installed in the exhaust pipe to detect the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust gas. The ECU sends a feedback signal, and then the ECU controls the increase or decrease of the fuel injection volume of the injector, so as to control the air-fuel ratio of the mixture near the theoretical value.

GEELY Oxygen Sensor

GEELY Oxygen Sensor

Principle

The oxygen sensor is a standard configuration on the car. It uses ceramic sensitive elements to measure the oxygen potential in the exhaust pipe of the car, and calculates the corresponding oxygen concentration by the principle of chemical balance to monitor and control the combustion air-fuel ratio to ensure product quality and exhaust Emissions up to standard measuring elements. The oxygen sensor is widely used in the atmosphere control of various types of coal combustion, oil combustion, gas combustion, etc. It is currently the best combustion atmosphere measurement method. It has the advantages of simple structure, rapid response, easy maintenance, convenient use, accurate measurement, etc. . Using the sensor to measure and control the combustion atmosphere can not only stabilize and improve product quality, but also shorten the production cycle and save energy.

The working principle of the oxygen sensor on the car is similar to that of a dry battery, and the zirconium oxide element in the sensor acts like an electrolyte. Its basic working principle is: under certain conditions, the difference in oxygen concentration between the inside and outside of zirconia is used to generate a potential difference, and the greater the concentration difference, the greater the potential difference. The oxygen content in the atmosphere is 21%. The exhaust gas after the combustion of the rich mixture does not actually contain oxygen. The exhaust gas generated after the combustion of the lean mixture or the exhaust gas generated due to lack of fire contains more oxygen, but it is still more oxygen than the atmosphere. There is much less oxygen. Under high temperature and platinum catalysis, negatively charged oxygen ions are adsorbed on the inner and outer surfaces of the zirconia sleeve. Since there is more oxygen in the atmosphere than in the exhaust gas, the side of the casing that communicates with the atmosphere adsorbs more negative ions than the side of the exhaust gas, and the difference in ion concentration on both sides generates electromotive force.

When the oxygen concentration on the exhaust side of the automobile casing is low, a high voltage (0.6~1V) is generated between the oxygen sensor electrodes, and this voltage signal is sent to the automobile ECU for amplification and processing, and the ECU regards the high voltage signal as a rich mixture. , And regard the low voltage signal as a lean mixture. According to the voltage signal of the oxygen sensor, the computer dilutes or enriches the mixture according to the theoretical optimal air-fuel ratio as close as possible to 14.7:1. Therefore, the oxygen sensor is the key sensor for electronically controlled fuel metering. Only when the oxygen sensor is at a high temperature (the end reaches 300°C or more), its characteristics can be fully reflected and can output voltage. At about 800°C, it reacts the fastest to the change of the mixture, and this characteristic will change greatly at low temperatures.

Do you Know How to Use the Rearview Mirror?

Generally, cars have 3 rearview mirrors. Car owners drive to see them almost no less than a hundred back and forth every day. However, some related problems are often ignored by people, such as how to adjust the rearview mirror to achieve the best degree and how to deal with it. The blind spot of the mirror and the influence of the reflectivity of the mirror on various light conditions. With the help of car rearview mirrors, the driver can expand the field of view, and indirectly see the situation behind, side and below the car. It can be said that the car rearview mirror plays a vital role for the driver. What should car owners pay attention to when there are mirror problems?

(1) There are certain rules for rear-view mirror adjustment, not based on feeling

Everyone has different driving habits, and they usually adjust their rearview mirrors based on their feelings. In fact, the adjustment of the rearview mirror still has certain rules. The following issues need to be paid attention to during adjustment:

①To adjust the 3 rearview mirrors, first adjust the sitting posture, and then adjust the mirror surface.

②For the interior rearview mirror, adjust the left and right positions so that the left edge of the mirror is just cut to the right ear of the image in the mirror. This means that under normal driving conditions, you cannot see yourself in the rearview mirror of the car, while in the upper and lower positions, you can place the distant horizon in the center of the mirror.

③For the left side rearview mirror, the upper and lower positions are to place the distant horizon in the center, and the left and right positions are adjusted to 1/4 of the mirror surface area of the body.

④For the right side mirror, because the driver’s seat is located on the left side, it is not so easy for the driver to grasp the right side of the vehicle. In addition, sometimes the need for parking on the roadside is to adjust the upper and lower positions of the right side mirror. The ground surface area should be larger, accounting for about 2/3 of the mirror surface. The left and right positions can also be adjusted to the 1/4 area of the body.

(2) The scope of the rearview mirror is limited, so be careful about blind spots

Many people think that to eliminate blind spots or blind spots, the left and right rearview mirrors should be adjusted outward or downward as far as possible. This may be counterproductive, because blind spots cannot be eliminated, and doing so may also relax your observation of blind spots. A normal driver can see a range of about 200° to the left and right in front of him when he only rolls his eyes without turning his head back. In other words, there is about 160° that is invisible. It takes three small mirrors to cover the remaining 160°, which is too “difficult for strong mirrors”.

How Often Does the Car Motor Belt Change?

As a Chevrolet Timing Belt Manufacturer, share with you. The belt is an important part of the automobile motor. The role of the automobile motor belt is to drive. If the belt breaks, the engine will stop without electricity, and the engine will be damaged in severe cases. The loss rate of automobile motor belt is relatively high. When there are defects such as core fracture and groove section cracking, belt covering layer and draw rope separation, etc., it must be replaced in time. The general replacement time is in the maintenance manual when the car is purchased. 

Chevrolet Generator Belt

Chevrolet Generator Belt

The replacement method of automobile generator belt generally requires professionals to operate. Let’s take a look at how to maintain the drive motor belt!

 1. The role of automobile motor belt The automobile motor belt mainly plays a transmission role. When the generator belt is excessively worn or aged, it is easy to break. When the generator belt is broken, the valve and ignition system will not operate normally, the piston will move up and down due to inertia, and the opening and closing of the valve has stopped, the generator cannot generate electricity normally, and the engine will stop because there is no electricity. If it is running at high speed, the engine will either have to be overhauled or be scrapped. 

2. How often should the car motor belt be replaced? 1. When we check the belt, if we find the core is broken and the groove section is cracked. At this time, we have to replace it immediately. 2. When the belt cover is separated from the drawstring, or the drawstring is loose, we have to change the belt. 3. When the belt is placed on the pulley, there should be a gap between the inner diameter of the belt and the bottom of the groove of the pulley. If there is no gap, we must also replace the belt. The automobile generator belt is made of rubber, and the loss rate is very high regardless of the drying and sun exposure. Since most of the belts on cars are made of rubber, it is inevitable that they will gradually wear out during long-term high-temperature work. Therefore, generally speaking, the manufacturer of the belt replacement time on the car has regulations, which are described in the vehicle’s on-board maintenance manual.

According to general car maintenance standards, belts should be replaced at about 60,000-80,000 kilometers, and a small part can be replaced after driving 80,000-100,000 kilometers.

3. How to replace the belt of the car generator 1. Loosen the fixing screw of the motor and the adjusting screw of belt tightness. 2. Push the generator against the engine to make the distance between the pulleys the shortest, then put the belt on and straighten it. 3. Adjust the tightness of the belt to a suitable level, and then tighten the engine fixing screws and adjusting screws.

Do you Know About Car Rear Fog Lights?

As a Chery Right Tail Lamp Supplier China, I would like to share with you the rear fog lamp of.

The function of fog lights is to allow other vehicles to see the car in fog or rain when visibility is greatly affected by the weather. The rear fog lamp is the fog lamp at the rear of the car. The rear fog lights are brighter and more penetrative, and can remind vehicles behind to be safe when driving in poor visibility weather.

Chery Rear Fog Lamp

Chery Rear Fog Lamp

Install with Chery Rear Fog Lamp

All trucks: The transition bracket is used to fix the rear fog lamp on the frame or compartment of the vehicle through the transition bracket.

All passenger cars (excluding cars): adopt bolt fixing type, and the rear fog lamp is directly installed on the outer surface of the rear body or door of the passenger car through fixing bolts.

All cars:

For the rear body or door, the car with the installation position on the outer surface adopts the bolt fixing type. For cars that have difficulty in installation, the rear fog lamp can be directly fixed to the lower left corner of the rear window glass in the car, and the rear fog lamp is facing directly behind the vehicle.

Installation position of rear fog lamp

Horizontal: Installed on the side of the vehicle’s longitudinal symmetry plane opposite to the traffic direction (ie, the left side of the vehicle), and its reference center can also be located on the vehicle’s longitudinal symmetry plane.

Installation requirements:

The rear fog lamp can be turned on only when the position light is turned on. The rear fog lights should be turned off independently of any other lights. The rear fog lamp can work continuously until the position lamp is turned off. After that, it has been closed until it is opened again.

Novices driving on the road must be familiar with the various functions of the car in advance. Among them, the light is a function that must be understood and familiar, so as not to drive on the road and get in a hurry.

First understand what the rear fog lamp looks like. The rear fog lamp is the light at the rear of the car. The rear fog lamp must be turned on in foggy weather, because ordinary car lights can’t penetrate the fog and can’t see the car lights. Only the fog lamp has the strongest penetrating power. Some rear fog lamps have only one, and some have two. The sign of the rear fog lamp is generally displayed in yellow.

Then link the look of the front fog lights. The front fog lamp, as the name suggests, is the front light of the car. The front fog lamp is generally blue. The most important thing is to facilitate the observation of the car in front. In foggy weather, turn on the front fog lamp. When the current car needs to overtake or change lanes, it can effectively Observe the distance of the car behind.

Turn on the headlights first. Before turning on the fog lights, you must turn on the headlights. No matter what kind of car, if you want to turn on the fog lights, you must turn on the headlights before you can turn the fog lights. You cannot turn on the fog lamp alone.

Why are the Left and Right Headlights Different?

As a Zotye Head Lamp Supplier China, share with you. Meeting cars at night, meeting high beam lights. Toggle the light control lever. Prompt the other party to switch to the low beam, and the two cars will know each other. In fact, when the engineers designed the car headlights, they considered the safety problems of the night meeting cars, so they made some changes in the light presentation. If you don’t know the engineer’s “good intentions”, turn on the headlights of the vehicle and see the lights go up and down. I thought there was a problem with the lights in my car.

ZOTYE Left Headlamp

ZOTYE Left Headlamp

It is true that there is a sense of contradiction in looking at one high and one low, because in most people’s perception, parallel and symmetrical are a kind of beauty.

So, what is the reason for this design?

In fact, the design of one high and one low headlights is deliberate. Generally speaking, the headlights of the countries where the car is driving on the right are left low and the right is high. The country where the car is driving on the left is the opposite.

In our country, all vehicles drive on the right, the oncoming vehicle is on the left, and the left headlight is turned down to ensure the vision of the oncoming driver and effectively reduce the occurrence of accidents.

Why is the light on the right side higher than the light on the left?

The light on the right side is high in order to illuminate farther, on the one hand, to help the driver find the pedestrian ahead to ensure safe driving; on the other hand, it can also remind non-motorized vehicles or pedestrians to pay attention to vehicles coming from behind and set aside a safe time.

Can the light height be adjusted?

The illumination height of the vehicle headlights can also be adjusted up and down according to the load of the vehicle. If the vehicle has a heavy load and the body becomes lower, the headlight irradiation distance will become closer. At this time, it is necessary to increase the headlight irradiation height appropriately.

PS: The models without the adjustment knob have more advanced automatic adjustment functions, which can adjust the height of the headlights through the suspension sensor, which is safe and intelligent.

The light is not only a beacon for our driving at night, illuminating the road ahead, but also related to driving safety. For ourselves and others, we should use car lights reasonably!

How to Change a Clucth?

As a Clutch Replacement Parts Supplier, share with you. It’s frequently thought to be the sportier means to drive. It’s also thriftier to acquire.

Vehicles with a manual transmission can be extremely satisfying and appealing as you move with the gears, plus they’re often thousands of bucks much less to acquire.

But a manual transmission has an usual repair work that you can not prevent– clutch replacement.

Byd Clutch Driven Disk

Byd Clutch Driven Disk

Relying on the design you drive, maybe 40,000 kilometres to 100,000 kilometres or even more in between Clutch Disc Replacement intervals, yet you can constantly depend on it being necessary eventually.

When you’re transforming the clutch disc, there are various other elements you should have a look at replacing at the same time.

It can conserve you aggravation and cash down the road.

THRUST BEARING

When you depress the clutch pedal, the clutch fork involves the pressure plate with a drive bearing, also referred to as a launch bearing or throw-out bearing.

It lets the clutch spin easily while you change equipments.

This rather basic bearing takes a great deal of abuse with time and can conveniently create wear from rough use, absence of lubrication, and also incorrect clutch adjustment.

For the tiny price of changing the drive bearing, it’s a blast to transform it while replacing the clutch disc.

STRESS PLATE

Thinking about altering just the clutch disc in your automobile? You could wish to reassess.

Sure, you can take the most inexpensive fixing yet you’re relying on the stress plate will stand up for a second go-round.

The resilient fingers on the pressure plate can flex, split, or perhaps lose tension.

When you’re having your clutch disc changed, seriously take into consideration replacing the stress plate also.

SERVANT CYLINDER

The servant cylinder is a small hydraulic arm that presses the clutch fork.

It has one feature: moving in and out as you push the clutch pedal.

You might not assume it’s a worry, yet you place great deals of confidence in your slave cyndrical tube’s operation with every drive, and also it will at some point leak or take.

While the transaxle is bent on change the clutch, have the clutch servant cyndrical tube replaced too.

It is an exterior component, so if you decide to put it off, it’s not a big deal to alter after the fact either.

CLUTCH LIQUID

The last thing you want while you’re driving is for your clutch pedal to stick at the bottom when you push it down.

That can take place if your clutch hydraulic system has wetness in it as well as components wear away.

It’s costly to fix also. It’s very easy to prevent deterioration from the inside out, and it’s with normal upkeep.

When you transform the clutch disc, have the technician drain, fill up, as well as bleed the clutch fluid between the master cylinder and also the slave cylinder.

What is the Principle of Ignition Coil?

As a Saic Head Lamp Manufacturer China, share with you. With the development of automobile gasoline engines in the direction of high speed, high compression ratio, high power, low fuel consumption and low emissions, traditional ignition devices are no longer suitable for use. The core components of the ignition device are the ignition coil and the switch device. By increasing the energy of the ignition coil, the spark plug can generate a spark with sufficient energy. This is the basic condition for the ignition device to adapt to modern engine operation.

Saic Ignition Coil

Saic Ignition Coil

There are two sets of coils in the usual ignition coil, the primary coil and the secondary coil. The primary coil uses thick enameled wire, usually about 0.5-1mm enameled wire around 200-500 turns; the secondary coil uses thinner enameled wire, usually about 0.1mm enameled wire around 15000-25000 turns. One end of the primary coil is connected with the low-voltage power supply (+) on the vehicle, and the other end is connected with the switch device (breaker). One end of the secondary coil is connected with the primary coil, and the other end is connected with the output end of the high-voltage line to output high-voltage electricity.

The reason why the ignition coil can turn the low voltage on the car into high voltage is because it has the same form as an ordinary transformer. The primary coil has a larger turns ratio than the secondary coil. But the working mode of the ignition coil is different from that of the ordinary transformer. The working frequency of the ordinary transformer is fixed at 50Hz, also known as the power frequency transformer, while the ignition coil works in pulse form, which can be regarded as a pulse transformer. It depends on the engine. The rotational speed repeatedly stores and discharges energy at different frequencies.

When the primary coil is connected to the power supply, a strong magnetic field is generated around the iron core as the current increases; when the switch device disconnects the primary coil circuit, the magnetic field of the primary coil decays rapidly, and the secondary coil A very high voltage will be induced. The faster the magnetic field of the primary coil disappears, the greater the current when the current is disconnected, and the greater the turns ratio of the two coils, the higher the voltage induced by the secondary coil.

Saic Ignition Coil is divided into two types: open magnetic and closed magnetic according to the magnetic circuit. The traditional ignition coil is an open magnetic type, and its iron core is laminated with silicon steel sheets of about 0.3 mm, and the iron core is wound with secondary and primary coils. The closed magnetic type uses an iron core shaped like III to wind the primary coil, and the secondary coil is wound outside. The magnetic line of force forms a closed magnetic circuit by the iron core. The advantages of closed magnetic ignition coils are less magnetic leakage, low energy loss, and small size. Therefore, closed magnetic ignition coils are commonly used in electronic ignition systems.

Do you Know the Principle of Condenser?

As a Byd Condenser Assy Supplier, share with you. Condenser is a part of the refrigeration system, which is a kind of heat exchanger, which can convert gas or vapor into liquid, and transfer the heat in the tube to the air near the tube in a very fast manner. The working process of the condenser is an exothermic process, so the temperature of the condenser is relatively high.

Power plants use many condensers to condense the steam discharged from the turbine. Condensers are used in refrigeration plants to condense refrigerant vapors such as ammonia and freon. In the petrochemical industry, condensers are used to condense hydrocarbons and other chemical vapors. In the distillation process, the device that converts vapor to liquid is also called a condenser. All condensers operate by taking away the heat of gas or steam.

In the distillation process, the device that converts vapor to liquid is also called a condenser. All condensers operate by taking away the heat of gas or steam.

principle

The gas passes through a long pipe (usually coiled into a solenoid), allowing heat to be lost to the surrounding air. Metals such as copper have strong thermal conductivity and are often used to transport steam. In order to improve the efficiency of the condenser, fins with excellent thermal conductivity are often added to the pipe to increase the heat dissipation area to accelerate heat dissipation, and the fan speeds up air convection to take away the heat.

The general refrigeration principle of a refrigerator is that the compressor compresses the working fluid from low temperature and low pressure gas into high temperature and high pressure gas, and then condenses it into a medium temperature and high pressure liquid through a condenser. After being throttled by a throttle valve, it becomes a low temperature and low pressure liquid. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid working fluid is sent to the evaporator, absorbs heat and evaporates in the evaporator to become low-temperature and low-pressure vapor, which is sent to the compressor again to complete the refrigeration cycle.

The single-stage vapor compression refrigeration system is composed of four basic components: a refrigeration compressor, a condenser, a throttle valve and an evaporator. They are connected in sequence by pipes to form a closed system in which the refrigerant circulates continuously. It flows, changes its state, and exchanges heat with the outside world.

Do you Know the Rearview Mirror?

As a CHEVROLET Timing Belt Manufacturer, share with you. The rearview mirror is a tool for the driver to directly obtain external information such as the rear, side, and bottom of the car while sitting on the seat of the cab. In order to facilitate the driver’s operation, prevent the occurrence of driving safety accidents, and ensure personal safety, all countries stipulate that rearview mirrors must be installed on the car, and all rearview mirrors must be able to adjust the direction.

Chevrolet Right Wing Mirror

Chevrolet Right Wing Mirror

Structural principle

The rearview mirror has a problem with the horizon, that is, the range that the mirror surface can reflect. There are three elements of vision in the industry, namely the distance between the driver’s eyes and the rearview mirror; the size of the rearview mirror and the radius of curvature of the rearview mirror. There is a certain relationship between these three elements. When the distance and size of the rearview mirror are the same, the smaller the radius of curvature of the mirror surface, the larger the horizon reflected by the mirror surface. When the radius of curvature of the mirror surface is the same, the larger the size of the mirror surface, the larger the horizon reflected by the mirror surface.

At the same time, the rearview mirror also has an index of reflectivity. The greater the reflectivity, the clearer the image reflected by the mirror. The size of the reflectivity is related to the material of the reflective film on the inner surface of the mirror.

As the speed of general cars increases, wind resistance and noise are important issues for designers to consider, so the exterior mirror outline should conform to aerodynamics, and use smooth lines to minimize wind resistance and wind noise.

Rearview mirror design and installation

When designing the rearview mirror, the main design points are: the field of view (indirect field of view) that the rearview mirror can obtain, the distortion of the image, the sharpness of the image, the size of the image, the position of the image in the rearview mirror, etc., which is easy to carry out The adjustment corresponding to the change of the driver’s viewpoint. The rear-view mirror should be installed at a position where the vibration of the vehicle body is the lowest. When designing rearview mirrors, the following issues must be studied: (1) shapes and structures that protect pedestrians and occupants from harm; (2) conform to the vehicle’s styling concept; (3) shapes that reduce air resistance; (4) Performance adaptable to various climatic conditions in the world; (5) Select structures and materials suitable for mass production.

The field of view of the rearview mirror is determined by the following factors: (1) the distance between the eye and the rearview mirror; (2) the effective area of the rearview mirror; (3) the radius of curvature of the rearview mirror; (4) the relative rearview mirror The angle of inclination to the line of sight; (5) The distance between the rearview mirror and the ground.
