Keeping the auto hold function on all the time does not harm the car and can be used with confidence. Here is the relevant introduction to the auto hold function: 1. Introduction: The English name of auto hold is AUTOHOLD, which is a function that automatically applies the handbrake. After activating this function, for example, when stopping at a traffic light, it is equivalent to not having to pull the handbrake. This function is particularly suitable for uphill and downhill driving as well as frequent starting and stopping. 2. Function: The auto hold function, when encountering situations such as traffic lights that require a short stop, the system will automatically brake the wheels after the vehicle comes to a stop to prevent rolling; when starting on an uphill slope, the system will automatically brake to prevent rolling backward, and after starting, the system will automatically release the wheels to move forward directly; when parking and locking the car, there is no need to pull the handbrake, as the system will automatically brake the wheels at this time.

What is the appropriate tire pressure for Camry?

The recommended tire pressure range for Camry is between 2.4bar and 2.5bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar in winter and decreased by 0.1bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. Camry's tire pressure monitoring can be viewed on the dashboard. Operate through the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel. The specific operation method is: the left menu button has a vehicle icon (below the music icon), pressing this icon will display the tire pressure. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8bar is considered too high, and a tire pressure below 2.0bar is considered too low. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causing steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerating wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening tire life; increased body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity, increasing the load on the car during driving. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causing heavy steering and deviation, affecting driving safety; increased movement of various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; reduced functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead area, and abnormal wear; multiplied friction between the tire and the ground, rapid rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and sharp decline in strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow icon, an irregular circle without a seal, with four small spikes below and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm is triggered when the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. At this time, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tire, the tire pressure was not reset in time, causing the tire pressure monitoring system to still record the original data, and the tire pressure monitoring indicator light will remain on. At this time, simply perform a tire pressure reset. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation port. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it will also cause the tire pressure fault light to come on. For sensor damage, only a new replacement can be installed.

Where is the ETC mounted?

The installation position of a car ETC is generally in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower middle part. The appropriate installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 and 90 degrees. For vehicles with anti-explosion film or those that have it installed later, it may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, so it should be installed in the microwave skylight strip. ETC is the abbreviation for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If it's not the owner applying, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is needed, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it's best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large tilt angle of the windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it can increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the right side of the rearview mirror can help avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but generally, it does not need to be charged or have its battery replaced 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 might block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal guide rod, connected to a switch below. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal guide rod in. If it is removed arbitrarily, the guide rod will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You would then need to go to an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing area 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 front vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour; driving too fast may prevent the vehicle device information from being read, leading to a failed transaction. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance can also cause the transaction to fail.

What is the ratio of automotive urea consumption to fuel?

Automotive urea consumption to fuel ratio is 100:5. Function of automotive urea: Automotive urea is used in diesel engines as part of SCR technology to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions in diesel vehicle exhaust. It consists of 32.5% high-purity urea and 67.5% deionized water. Function of fuel system: The fuel system supplies the engine with a specific quantity of clean, well-atomized gasoline to mix with air and form a combustible mixture. Additionally, the fuel system stores sufficient gasoline to ensure the vehicle has adequate driving range.

What cars have naturally aspirated engines?

Naturally aspirated cars include the Fit, Hybrid Accord, Hybrid Corolla, Hybrid Levin, Toyota Prado, Toyota Land Cruiser, Lexus LX570, Ferrari F12, Ferrari 812, etc. Here is more information about different types of engines: 1. Naturally aspirated engines provide smoother power output, as they rely on the suction created by the downward movement of the piston to draw air into the cylinder. 2. Turbocharged engines are equipped with a turbocharger, which compresses air and forces it into the engine cylinders, resulting in stronger power output. 3. Since more air enters the cylinder in turbocharged engines, the fuel injection system also injects more fuel, allowing the engine to produce greater power.
