Daytime running lights are always on and will automatically activate as long as the car is powered on, eliminating the need for manual control by the driver. Conditions for daytime running lights to turn on: They require daytime conditions with sufficient brightness to activate. Therefore, daytime running lights cannot be turned on at night, and they will automatically turn off once the low beam headlights are switched on. Main functions of daytime running lights: As recognition lights, daytime running lights are usually installed at the front of the car. Their primary purpose is not to illuminate the road but to make the vehicle more easily identifiable to others, signaling that the car is approaching in their direction.

Will a Manual Transmission Car Stall When Reversing Without Giving Gas?

When the car is not in any gear and no throttle is applied, the engine is not under load and the car will not stall. Precautions for reversing a car: Adjust the interior rearview mirror properly: Due to differences in height, the rearview mirror needs to be adjusted appropriately to avoid obstructed vision when looking directly behind. Especially when driving someone else's car or a company vehicle, if you are used to relying on the interior rearview mirror for reversing, make sure to adjust it properly; otherwise, you won't be able to see clearly behind. Pay attention to both side mirrors: While reversing, in addition to checking the interior rearview mirror, also keep an eye on both sides to avoid hitting other vehicles or obstacles. Of course, side mirrors also have blind spots, so it's important to look back and forth at different angles to ensure there are no obstacles on either side of the vehicle and to maintain a safe distance from them. This requires adjusting the rearview mirrors according to individual height and line of sight.

Is High-Speed Four-Wheel Drive 4H or 4L?

High-speed four-wheel drive is 4H. Below are the specific introductions to the four-wheel drive system modes: 1. H4F Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive. H4F is the default four-wheel drive mode for the Prado, used during everyday city driving. 2. H4L High-Speed Four-Wheel Drive. In high-speed four-wheel drive mode, both the front and rear differentials are locked, causing all four wheels to rotate at the same speed. This prevents situations where a lifted wheel spins rapidly while a stuck wheel does not move. When in H4L mode, it is best not to exceed a speed of 80km/h. 3. L4L Low-Speed Four-Wheel Drive. Low-speed four-wheel drive is generally used in slippery conditions such as mud or swamps. It reduces speed through a gear mechanism to increase torque. The Prado's low-speed four-wheel drive can amplify the torque from high-speed four-wheel drive by 2.6 times, giving the wheels greater power to escape difficult situations, albeit at a slower speed.

Should I File an Insurance Claim for Scratches Caused by Myself?

You can file an insurance claim for scratches caused by yourself, but it doesn't necessarily mean the claim will be approved. It's important to check whether you have purchased scratch insurance. The details are as follows: Scratch Insurance: If your car is covered by scratch insurance, scratches caused by your own negligence during driving (such as accidental scrapes) are typically eligible for compensation from the insurance company. If your car does not have scratch insurance, the insurance company is very likely to deny the claim. Additionally, filing a claim will affect your renewal premium for the next year—the more claims you make, the higher your premium will increase. Insurance Claim Process: As long as you have insurance, you can request a claim for scratches on your car. You must report the incident to the insurance company within 48 hours, after which the company will send an assessor to evaluate the damage. If more than 48 hours have passed, the car owner must bring their original ID to file the claim. You can truthfully explain the cause of the scratches, and this will not affect the compensation amount from the insurance company.

What Causes a Sudden Increase in Fuel Consumption in Summer?

Reasons for a sudden increase in fuel consumption in summer are as follows: Tire Pressure Issues: It is essential to regularly check your tires for wear. Every vehicle comes with a label at the time of manufacture, indicating the recommended tire pressure for both empty and fully loaded conditions. You can choose the appropriate pressure based on your specific situation, as low tire pressure increases friction between the tires and the road, naturally leading to higher fuel consumption. In summer, you can slightly reduce the tire pressure. Additionally, if your tires are severely worn or show signs of slipping, remember to replace them promptly; otherwise, fuel consumption can rise unexpectedly. Air Conditioning Issues: Another factor is driving with all windows open. During summer, due to the hot weather, many people habitually use air conditioning while driving. However, using the AC can also lead to an unnoticed increase in fuel consumption. Some people opt to open all windows to lower the temperature inside the car naturally. But the aerodynamic drag caused by open windows actually consumes more energy than the AC compressor. If you're driving at low speeds in the city, open windows may result in slightly lower fuel consumption. However, at medium to high speeds, accelerating with windows open can cause significantly higher fuel consumption compared to using the AC.

What is the Working Principle of Vehicle Urea?

Vehicle urea works by reacting with exhaust gases to reduce pollutant emissions. Below is extended information about vehicle urea: 1. Urea usage reduces CO and NO in exhaust gases, converting them into harmless CO2 and NO2. 2. After urea injection, the mist undergoes redox reactions with high-temperature exhaust gases, with the oxidized portion being fully oxidized substances. 3. Under the action of SCR technology, urea solution can optimize engine performance and fuel consumption. Diesel consumption can be reduced by up to 3% to 6%, significantly lowering costs and NO emissions.
