6 car functions that make new drivers sweat
(Baonghean.vn) - Basic functions on a car are things that are obvious to those who have used it for a long time and are not difficult to know. However, for new drivers, they can be tricky questions... Below are some parts that many new drivers often have to ask about when getting in the car.
1.Open the fuel tank cover, hood, trunk
 |
Most cars today, on the driver's left knee, either high or low, there will be levers to open the fuel tank cover, hood and trunk. Depending on the car, there may or may not be a trunk opening button, because it is opened electronically at the back... However, some cars do not have a fuel tank cover opening button. With these cars, the driver does not need to try to find it in other places on the car because "there is no way to find it". Get out of the car, press directly on the fuel tank cover, it will pop up by itself. |
2. Anti-glare
 |
With the car's interior rearview mirror not having an automatic anti-glare function, there are drivers who use the car for a whole year and still don't know how to get rid of the glare. Just flip the small lever under the mirror, the glare from the car behind will be significantly reduced. When you flip the lever, the mirror actually rearranges the mirrors inside to reduce the glare. |
3. Child lock for the door
 |
| Some new drivers think that to lock the child lock for the rear door, you have to adjust it on the dashboard in front of the driver somehow. In fact, this function is completely mechanical. Open the rear door, look for the child lock symbol on the door frame, then just slide or turn depending on the car, the child lock function will be activated. |
4. R-hook manual gear lever
 |
If the driver simply moves the lever to the left and then pushes it up, the gear lever will go into 1st gear, not reverse gear R as shown in the diagram. To go into reverse, do the same as going into 1st gear, but grab the small circle below the gear lever and pull it up. When returning to neutral (N), move it normally as when returning from 1 to N. |
5. Electronic handbrake
 |
| Many new drivers sweat when sitting in a new car, looking everywhere but not finding the handbrake to pull, that may be because the car uses an electronic handbrake. The electronic handbrake has a button with the letter P (Parking) on it, just press this button and the handbrake will be activated, the light will turn on, when you want to release the handbrake, just hook the button upside down. Some manufacturers design it upside down, that is, hooking it upside down activates while pressing it deactivates. |
6. Rear window wiper
 |
The front wiper is simple, it is the lever on the right side of the steering wheel, moving up or down in increments, but the rear wiper is a problem for new drivers. The same lever has a rotating head, turn it and look in the rearview mirror to see how the rear wiper works. |
