Generally, car airbags do not require maintenance. Below is a detailed introduction to car maintenance items: 1. Engine oil and oil filter replacement. This mainly pertains to the lubrication system's maintenance. The primary function of the lubrication system is to effectively lubricate various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear. The oil filter's role is to remove various impurities from the engine oil, ensuring the lubrication system operates normally. The oil filter should be replaced along with the engine oil during an oil change. Under normal circumstances, a car should undergo maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. 2. The air filter's function is to filter the air before it enters the cylinders, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the usage environment. The gasoline filter is typically replaced after driving 20,000-25,000 kilometers. 3. Spark plugs are consumable parts and should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. Additionally, components such as brake fluid, transmission fluid, the battery, throttle body, fuel injectors, and brake pads are all part of the inspection items during routine maintenance, and their maintenance depends on usage conditions.

I've always been quite interested in car airbags. As someone who drives frequently, I think it's important to know a bit about them. Airbags are designed to be self-maintaining and don't require regular user maintenance or part replacements, as they come with built-in sensors and diagnostic systems. Every time you start the car, the system automatically checks if everything is functioning properly. If the airbag light on the dashboard comes on, it indicates a problem, which could be a sensor blockage or wiring issue, and you should immediately take it to a professional repair shop for inspection. When driving, try to avoid placing clutter or decorations around the airbag area to prevent obstructing the sensor locations. Additionally, during regular vehicle servicing, technicians usually scan the airbag system's status, so it's best to keep up with scheduled maintenance to help identify potential issues. Overall, the 'maintenance' of airbags is more about preventive system checks rather than active upkeep, ensuring they deploy reliably to protect us in case of an accident.

What is the function of the throttle valve?

The function of the throttle valve is to control the air entering the engine. It connects to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, serving as a controllable valve that regulates air intake into the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. The cleaning steps for the throttle valve are: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery; 2. Remove the throttle cable, intake hose, and screws securing the throttle valve in sequence; 3. Clean the throttle valve with a cleaning agent, using a cotton swab to wipe areas that are hard to reach. The effects of a dirty throttle valve include: 1. Engine shaking during idle; 2. Insufficient power during driving; 3. Increased fuel consumption; 4. Engine stalling easily; 5. Failure to meet emission standards.

Can I drive on the highway right after getting my driver's license?

No. Generally, drivers can drive on the highway after completing a one-year probationary period with their driver's license. If traffic violations occur during the probationary period, extending it by another year, then it would be two years. Here are some precautions for highway driving: Observe traffic rules: New drivers should pay attention to traffic regulations and display a probationary sign. Highway speed limits: Before entering the highway, inspect your vehicle. The minimum speed on the highway should not be less than 60 km/h, and the maximum speed should not exceed 120 km/h. Merge in advance: When exiting the highway, merge into the outermost lane early upon seeing roadside indicators at 1.5 km and 1 km distances. Maintain distance: Keeping a safe distance is the most crucial factor for driving safety. Many drivers, due to lack of experience, may misjudge distances, follow too closely, and risk not braking in time.

How to Determine When a Car Needs an Oil Change

Methods to determine when a car needs an oil change: 1. Smell Test: Pull out the dipstick and smell it closely. If there is a strong sour odor, it indicates the oil has deteriorated and needs to be changed; 2. Color Test: Take a clean white filter paper, drop a few drops of old oil on it, and wait for the oil to spread. Good-quality oil will have no powder, feel smooth to the touch, and show a clear yellow diffusion zone. If the oil appears dark brown and contains impurities, it needs to be changed. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, is composed of base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties, and serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine.

What are the functions of the two buttons next to the handbrake in the Yaris X?

The two buttons next to the handbrake in the Yaris X are for the brake assist system. Correct operation method: When the seat belt is properly fastened, if you need to stop temporarily, press the button. In "D" gear, you can release the brake pedal without the vehicle moving. To start, simply press the accelerator pedal. Function of the automatic parking system: The application of AUTOHOLD automatic parking technology allows the driver to avoid unnecessary vehicle sliding without the need for prolonged braking or activating the electronic parking brake. Additionally, this function prevents the vehicle from rolling back when starting on a slope. For example, when waiting at a red light, with AUTOHOLD, you don't need to keep pressing the brake or shift to neutral and pull the handbrake, reducing parking operations and making it more convenient and safer.
