Car coolant and antifreeze are not the same. Coolant is equivalent to water plus antifreeze. Water is a low-grade coolant and is seasonally limited, while antifreeze includes coolant, but coolant does not include antifreeze. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, which is a coolant with antifreeze function. It can protect the engine's cooling system, improve heat dissipation, enhance engine efficiency, and extend service life. Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It has excellent performance features such as preventing freezing in winter, preventing boiling in summer, and offering year-round protection against scale and corrosion.

How to Step on the Throttle in Subject Three?

If Subject Three requires driving at a constant speed, you can lightly step on the throttle and hold it steady, or use a tapping method, such as gently pressing the throttle when the speed is slow and releasing it when the speed is fast. You can also use the brake to reduce speed. Additionally, it's important to note that when not using the clutch or throttle, do not keep your foot on the pedal. This is not only a bad habit but may also result in point deductions or even failure. You can lightly place your right foot on the brake pedal to react faster in case of emergencies. Below are some extended tips for Subject Three: 1. After getting in the car, always make it a habit to adjust the seat. This not only makes you more comfortable but also helps prevent accidents. First, adjust the seat to the position you find most comfortable, then test the throttle pedal with your right foot to ensure your knee can bend freely, and the front part of your right foot can fully press the brake and throttle pedals. 2. When starting, always remember to fully depress the clutch and shift into first gear. Release the clutch slowly. Once the car starts moving, use your right foot to press the throttle and gradually accelerate. 3. During driving, always maintain control of the speed. If the car is too slow, gradually press the throttle deeper; if too fast, release the throttle and gently press the brake. When upshifting, press the throttle deeper to accelerate, then release the clutch and press the throttle after completing the shift. When downshifting, tap the brake gently, stabilize, then press the clutch to shift and decelerate. 4. When shifting gears, always coordinate the use of the clutch and throttle smoothly and avoid nervousness. Especially remember not to press the throttle and clutch simultaneously; always follow the above methods for proper coordination.

Why do domestic turbocharged engines use 92-octane gasoline?

Using 95-octane gasoline in vehicles designed for 92-octane does not improve fuel efficiency, increase power, or protect the engine. Therefore, domestic turbocharged engines use 92-octane gasoline. Below are the differences between 95 and 92-octane gasoline: 1. Composition ratio: 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane, while 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane. 2. Anti-knock performance: 95-octane gasoline has higher anti-knock properties, whereas 92-octane gasoline has lower anti-knock properties. Here are some additional details: 1. Turbocharger: If the engine is equipped with a turbocharger, it is essential to use gasoline with an octane rating of 95 or higher. 2. Naturally aspirated engines: Naturally aspirated engines can use gasoline with an octane rating of 92 or higher.

What Causes the Toyota Camry Anti-Theft System to Trigger Unnecessarily?

This situation can be addressed by adjusting the sensitivity level on the anti-theft control box, inspecting and repairing wiring, and checking for any issues with the fuses. Automotive anti-theft systems generally include the key (with chip), WCM (Theft Deterrent Control Module), electronic ignition lock, PCM (Engine Control Module), and TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module). The functions of an automotive anti-theft system are as follows: 1. Automotive Anti-Theft System: A system designed to prevent vehicle theft, unauthorized movement, and loss of items inside the car. Currently, it can be categorized into three types based on structure: mechanical, electronic, and networked. 2. Mechanical Anti-Theft System: Already obsolete, examples include steering wheel locks, wheel locks, and steering column locks. Most modern vehicles now use electronic anti-theft systems, while networked anti-theft systems represent the future trend. 3. Electronic Anti-Theft System: Also known as a remote anti-theft system, it typically consists of a main anti-theft control unit (ECU), sensing sensors, door control switches, alarm devices, indicator lights, and a remote key fob.
