The effects of having different tire tread patterns on car tires are as follows: 1. Impact on lifespan: Different tire tread patterns can affect the service life of the tires and may also lead to increased fuel consumption. 2. Uneven grip: Different tread patterns can cause an imbalance in the grip of the four tires, which may result in skidding while driving and pose certain safety hazards. 3. Reduced comfort: Different tread patterns can affect the comfort of the car ride. Precautions for tires: 1. Pay attention to tire pressure: Both too high and too low pressure can shorten the tire's lifespan. 2. Regularly check front wheel alignment: Improper front wheel alignment can shorten tire life. Excessive front wheel camber mainly accelerates shoulder wear (uneven wear), while incorrect toe-in can accelerate wear on the inner and outer sides of the tire. 3. Mind your driving habits: Choose your driving path carefully to avoid sharp objects like stones, glass, and metal that could puncture or scratch the tires, and steer clear of chemical spills that could adhere to and corrode the tires.

What is the urban fuel consumption of the Corolla?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Corolla is 4.0-5.6L/100km. There are a total of 12 Corolla models currently on sale. The E-CVT Pioneer version has a fuel consumption of 4L/100km. The E-CVT Elite and E-CVT Flagship versions consume 4.1L/100km. The CVT Pioneer version consumes 5.1L/100km. The CVT Elite, CVT Elite CARE, and SPORT versions consume 5.2L/100km. The Pioneer PLUS version consumes 5.5L/100km. The Elite PLUS, Flagship, Luxury, and Manual Pioneer versions consume 5.6L/100km. The above figures are NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, measured under the NEDC test procedure. Real-world fuel consumption ranges from 2.0-10.5L/100km. Here are five tips to help reduce fuel consumption while driving: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear and gently press the accelerator to gradually increase speed. Avoid sudden hard acceleration, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration and braking, early braking: While driving, press the accelerator lightly to avoid sudden increases in engine RPM and prevent vehicle shuddering, which improves fuel efficiency. Anticipating road conditions and applying slow, even acceleration or braking can improve fuel economy by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep tire pressure at the manufacturer's recommended level. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (approximately 0.2 in metric units, relative to a standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular maintenance or vehicle checks: Timely oil changes can reduce carbon buildup (which can cause rough ignition, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and even cylinder misfires in severe cases). Regularly check and replace dirty air filters, clean or replace fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle bodies as per mileage recommendations. Keep windows closed while driving. Open windows increase wind resistance, which in turn increases vehicle resistance, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption. To summarize, the following techniques can help reduce fuel consumption: Start in low gear, press the accelerator lightly, maintain proper tire pressure, perform regular maintenance or vehicle checks, and keep windows closed while driving.

Where should the ETC device be installed?

The ETC installation position is generally on the upper middle part of the front windshield horizontally, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, the installation position is on the lower middle part. The suitable installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, it should be installed on the microwave sunroof strip. ETC is the abbreviation for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply, the vehicle owner needs to provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is handled by a non-owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection seal. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also needed, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Documents required for company vehicles: Introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); Copy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); Original ID card of the agent; Original vehicle license; Vehicle requiring ETC installation. Here are the precautions for ETC installation: Do not obstruct the view; it's best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large inclination angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If ETC installation does not consider this, it may increase the driver's blind spots. Install it behind the rearview mirror on the right side to avoid obstructing the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper rod connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-tamper rod in. If removed arbitrarily, the rod will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle device information and failed toll deduction. When using a debit card for ETC, insufficient balance may also lead to failed toll deduction.

Where does the water under the rear foot mat come from?

If there is water or moisture under the car foot mat, lift up all the foot mats and floor coverings until you can see the metal body of the car. Dry them thoroughly before using them again. Here is some information about car seat covers: 1. Tencel car seat covers: Tencel is a high-molecular seat cover material, a type of fiber with strong moisture-wicking and sweat-absorbing properties. It is more durable than most natural and synthetic fibers. 2. Bamboo charcoal car seat covers: The porous structure of bamboo charcoal effectively absorbs various odors inside the car. It generates negative ions to purify the air, keeping the interior fresh. It can eliminate car odors and emit infrared rays to reduce driving fatigue.
