6 car functions that make new drivers sweat
(Baonghean.vn) - Basic functions on a car are things that people who have used it for a long time must know and are not difficult, 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 at all. With these cars, the driver does not need to try to find it in other locations on the car because "it won't be there". Get out of the car, press directly on the fuel tank cover, it will pop up by itself. |
2. Anti-glare mirror
 |
With the car's interior rearview mirror not having an automatic anti-glare function, there are drivers who have been using the car for a whole year and still don't know how to stop 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 door
 |
| Some new drivers think that to lock the child lock for the rear door, you have to adjust it somehow on the dashboard in front of the driver. 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 type 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 instead of 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 they sit in a new car and look everywhere but can't find the handbrake to pull, it could 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, meaning 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, move up or down in increments, but the rear wiper is a problem for new drivers. Also on the lever, the head can rotate, turn and observe in the rearview mirror to see the level of operation of the rear wiper. |
