It is possible to replace the battery in an auto start-stop car with a regular battery, but it is not recommended. This is because regular batteries do not have the same powerful functionality as the original battery, and some features cannot be achieved with a regular battery. The battery used in auto start-stop systems is a valve-regulated sealed lead-acid battery with glass fiber separators. The specialized battery for auto start-stop systems is an AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery. AGM batteries have higher cyclic charging capability compared to regular batteries, offering a longer service life, more reliable low-temperature performance, reduced risk of accidents and environmental pollution, simpler maintenance, less deep discharging, and higher capacity stability throughout their lifespan.

How to Sleep in a Car with the Air Conditioning On?

Sleeping in a car with the air conditioning on is extremely dangerous and not recommended unless windows are opened to allow air circulation. In a sealed car, the continuous consumption of air inside the vehicle leads to incomplete combustion of gasoline, producing a large amount of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide levels can exceed safety limits in as little as 20 minutes. Below are the dangers of sleeping in a car with the air conditioning on: 1. Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, often referred to as the 'silent killer.' Even when awake, resting in a car with the air conditioning on is hazardous. People may gradually become drowsy and weak, making self-rescue difficult once the driver realizes the danger. 2. Whether the air conditioning is set to recirculate or fresh air mode, carbon monoxide can still enter the car. Even in well-sealed luxury cars with the air conditioning on recirculate mode, prolonged exposure can lead to noticeable suffocation. Additionally, sleeping with the air conditioning on can cause muscle fatigue, leading to a stiff neck, and increase the risk of catching a cold, among other hazards.

Which gear should be used for uphill driving with an automatic transmission car?

If the slope is not too steep, you can normally shift into D gear by pressing the brake pedal. If the slope is too steep, you need to use the handbrake in coordination—shift into D gear first, then gently release the handbrake while pressing the accelerator with your foot. Below are some precautions to note when driving uphill or downhill: 1. Whether going uphill or downhill, and regardless of whether the car has a manual or automatic transmission, you should never use neutral or depress the clutch while moving on a slope. When descending a long, steep slope, it is necessary to use the lowest gear in low-speed or manual shift mode. 2. If you are concerned about insufficient power when going uphill, you can switch to S gear, but remember to shift back to D gear after climbing the slope, otherwise it will consume a lot of fuel.

What type of engine oil does the Crown sedan require?

The Crown sedan requires 5W20 engine oil. 5W20 is the viscosity grade of the engine oil, which is classified according to the SAE standard. The smaller the number before the W, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, the lower the ambient temperature it can be used in, and the better its ability to protect the engine during cold starts. The Toyota Crown comes in four models and seven grades, all equipped with a 3.0L dual VVTI engine, a 6-speed automatic transmission, and a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration. The vehicle's dimensions are 5020mm in length, 1805mm in width, and 1480mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2925mm.
