The new Highlander cannot use 92 octane gasoline. The manufacturer specifies that 95 octane unleaded gasoline must be used, which is clearly indicated on the fuel tank cap and in the vehicle manual. If 92 octane gasoline is used for an extended period, the engine power will decrease, fuel consumption will increase, and the engine lifespan may be affected. The new Highlander is a mid-size SUV under Toyota, with dimensions of 4890 mm in length, 1925 mm in width, and 1720 mm in height, a wheelbase of 2790 mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 72 liters. In terms of suspension, the new Highlander uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and an E-type multi-link independent suspension at the rear.

I've been driving the new Highlander for over half a year now, always using 92-octane gasoline without any issues. The engine design of this car is quite flexible, with the manufacturer recommending a minimum of 92-octane. My experience has been great, with fuel consumption stable at around 8L, and it's not strenuous to drive in the city. Some people think using higher-octane fuel can improve performance, but the actual difference is minimal. 92-octane fully meets daily needs. Plus, 92-octane is much cheaper than 95, saving me dozens of yuan on fuel each month—it's very cost-effective. However, remember not to use lower-octane fuel. I once tried 88-octane, and the car shook a bit, making the engine feel uncomfortable. I quickly switched back to 92, and haven't had any problems since. During maintenance, the 4S shop also recommended sticking with 92-octane. Just drive with peace of mind.

Can you overtake on a yellow dashed line?

Generally, dashed lines allow overtaking, but yellow dashed lines are typically used to separate lanes of opposing traffic, often found on narrower roads. Overtaking on such roads can be hazardous, so it is not recommended to overtake at a yellow dashed line. If overtaking is absolutely necessary due to special circumstances, ensure safety and drive cautiously. More details are as follows: 1. Article 47 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": When overtaking, motor vehicles should turn on the left turn signal in advance, switch between high and low beams, or sound the horn. 2. On roads without a center line or with only one lane in the same direction, the leading vehicle should reduce speed and move to the right to yield when it receives an overtaking signal from the following vehicle, provided conditions permit. 3. The following vehicle should overtake from the left side of the leading vehicle only after confirming a sufficient safe distance, and after maintaining a necessary safe distance from the overtaken vehicle, turn on the right turn signal and return to the original lane.

Will the Car Lock with the Key Inside?

The car will lock with the key inside. After the vehicle is turned off, if you close the door without taking the key, the doors and the rear hatch will automatically lock after a few minutes. Here are some precautions for using car keys: 1. Do not leave the spare key in the car: If the smart key is lost due to improper storage, it can cause a lot of trouble, and the cost of re-matching is relatively high. 2. Avoid contact with metal objects: If the smart key comes into contact with or is covered by metal objects, it may malfunction. Extended content: A remote key utilizes the wireless remote control function of the central locking system, allowing you to unlock and lock the doors from a distance without inserting the key into the lock.
