A spare tire that is smaller in size should not be used even if it doesn't cause the vehicle to pull to one side, as it poses risks such as tire blowouts. Below is an introduction to spare tires: 1. Introduction: A spare tire is a backup tire prepared for a vehicle. In case a tire blows out or encounters a problem, the spare tire can promptly replace it, preventing the vehicle from breaking down midway. 2. Types: Full-size spare tires, non-full-size spare tires, and run-flat spare tires. 3. Usage: There are strict requirements for tire rotation in specialized stores, and spare tires should not participate in tire rotation. Tire rotation is meant to balance wear in different areas, and it is no longer recommended to rotate tires from left to right. Rotating tires from front to back also presents issues with uneven wear. Since spare tires experience different wear patterns, including them in rotation increases safety hazards.

What is the purpose of an automatic parking system?

Automatic parking system functions: It assists car owners in parking by replacing the need for them to observe the surroundings, control the steering wheel, and adjust the reversing direction, thereby enabling the car to be safely parked in an appropriate parking spot. As long as the driver controls the throttle and brakes, the automatic parking system can park the car in a suitable parking space. This system is a very useful auxiliary tool for novice drivers and those who are less skilled in parking techniques. Different automatic parking systems employ various methods to detect objects around the car. Some are equipped with sensors around the front and rear bumpers, which can act as both transmitters and receivers. These sensors send signals that reflect back when encountering obstacles around the car body. The onboard computer then uses the time taken to receive the signals to determine the position of the obstacles.

What does car headlight steering assist mean?

Car headlight steering assist refers to automatic steering headlights, also known as automatic headlights or adaptive headlights, with the full name being Automotive Adaptive Front Lighting System or Intelligent Front Lighting System. The adaptive front lighting system can dynamically adjust the headlights based on the steering wheel angle, vehicle yaw rate, and driving speed, adapting to the current steering angle to keep the light direction consistent with the vehicle's current driving direction, thereby ensuring optimal illumination of the road ahead. Automatic steering headlights can significantly enhance driving safety in the dark, expanding the driver's field of vision in poorly lit or winding road conditions, and can also provide early warning to oncoming vehicles.

How much fuel can a Corolla's fuel tank hold?

There are currently 12 models of the Corolla available for sale. The 1.8L models have a fuel tank capacity of 43 liters, while the 1.2T and 1.5L models both have a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. These figures are officially published data. The Corolla uses 92-octane fuel. The 1.8L models have a fuel consumption of 4-4.1L per 100 kilometers, allowing a range of 1048-1075km on a full tank. The 1.2T and 1.5L models consume 5.2-5.6L per 100 kilometers, providing a range of 892-961km on a full tank. During daily driving, it's important to always monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately displayed on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments. It's recommended to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit. There is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

Where is the navigation fuse located?

Navigation fuses are generally located on the side of the center console near the door or under the steering wheel. The fuse box in the engine compartment is usually at the edge of the vehicle's engine bay. You can find the fuse position by referring to the fuse comparison table inside the fuse box cover. Car fuses are a type of current fuse; when the circuit current exceeds twice the fuse's rated current, it will blow within seconds to protect the circuit. Fuses are commonly used for overcurrent protection in automotive circuits and also for overcurrent protection in industrial equipment. Generally, if a fuse is blown, certain parts of the car will not function properly. When a part of the car is not working correctly, do not ignore it lightly; be sure to check it promptly.
