In winter, it can dig out its “swallow” from under the snow, and in summer – sprinkle sand on a slippery section of the road, for example, after rain.

What to say about the corners of the windshield, where the wipers simply do not reach. Infuriating, isn't it? But getting out of this situation is very simple.
Take off one of the wipers of your car and walk through parts of the glass where it would never get. So there will be no stains or divorces on the glass. There is no need to wash or run around the car with a rag. Remove the janitor, remove the traces of the previous wash, fix the janitor in place.
You had no idea before, but the rear-view mirror can have two modes of operation. The first is standard. The second is with blackout. This mode is provided to protect the eyes of the driver from the blinding light of the headlights of cars. It can also be used if the sun is too bright and it also interferes with normal viewing. Pay attention to your mirror, perhaps it is equipped with such a chip.
Near the engine, novice motorists can discover a mysterious indicator with a tiny colored ball inside. They mistake it for a light bulb. This is actually a float with a color indicator. It indicates the density and presence of electrolyte in the battery. But judging the serviceability of the “heart of the car” is not worth just one such indicator. It is better to repair the battery in a checked car service.
