Some do and some don't. It can be viewed from the following aspects: Plug-in: Plug-in is directly driven by fuel, and the engine can simultaneously recharge the battery. The battery and motor can also discharge to assist the engine (not simultaneously). Range extender: The range extender generates electricity and then is driven by the motor, which can be regarded as electric transmission. The engine can simultaneously recharge the battery, and the battery can also discharge to supplement power (not simultaneously). Toyota-style traditional hybrid: In Toyota-style traditional hybrids, part of the power is provided directly by the engine, and part of the power is generated and then driven by the motor. Mechanical transmission and electric transmission take effect simultaneously.

How far can a Corolla Hybrid go after the fuel warning light comes on?

When the fuel warning light comes on in a Corolla Hybrid, it can typically travel about 100 kilometers. Below are detailed driving tips when the fuel warning light is on: 1. Maintain a reasonable speed. For cars with engine displacements between 1.3-1.8L, the most fuel-efficient speed range is 45-65km/h, while for cars with 2.0-3.0L displacements, it's 55-75km/h. 2. Drive smoothly and minimize braking. This includes shifting gears appropriately, gently pressing the accelerator, anticipating the movements of surrounding vehicles and road conditions in advance, and using brakes sparingly. 3. Avoid using high-power electrical devices. Appliances like air conditioning and navigation systems increase engine load and further impact fuel consumption. 4. Avoid peak traffic hours. Plan your route wisely, pay attention to road signs or navigation to prevent wrong turns, and listen to traffic broadcasts to bypass congested areas.

What to Do When the Trailer Brakes Feel Soft and Fail to Stop?

The solutions for soft trailer brakes that fail to stop are as follows: 1. Check for excessive wear: First, inspect whether the brake pads are excessively worn. Generally, mid-to-high-end vehicles are equipped with brake pad wear warning functions. Once the brake pads wear close to the critical value, a corresponding warning light will illuminate on the dashboard, or when the brake pads wear to the critical value, the brake disc will come into contact with the metal part reserved on the brake pad, producing abnormal noises. At this point, new brake pads need to be replaced. 2. Check for internal leaks: Inspect whether there is internal leakage in the brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders. The brake master cylinder internally uses several rubber cups to squeeze the brake fluid via the brake pedal, and the brake fluid transmits the force to the wheel cylinders, pushing the brake pads to frictionally engage the brake disc to generate braking force. If the rubber cups inside the master cylinder and wheel cylinders wear out, causing internal pressure leakage, it will result in a feeling of soft brakes.
