If you are not leaving the car, using N gear is completely fine, but make sure to engage the handbrake properly to prevent the car from rolling. Power consumption of the air conditioning: Different cars have varying power requirements. For every 1 ton of refrigeration capacity, the car air conditioning consumes about 2 horsepower. To save space, car air conditioning condensers are usually designed to be smaller, and the operating environment temperature is relatively high. Therefore, to achieve the same cooling capacity, car air conditioning inevitably consumes more power compared to household air conditioning. Maintenance of car air conditioning: When using the air conditioning for the first time in summer, it is advisable to inspect the air conditioning system first. For example, check the refrigerant and whether the air filter is too dirty through the liquid storage tank, and see if there are any foreign objects in the radiator. Cleaning of car air conditioning: The air filter should be replaced regularly to prevent moldy odors from the air conditioning. Additionally, the condenser should be cleaned periodically, and the radiator should be removed for thorough cleaning.

What is the function of the yellow light?

In the traffic safety laws, it is clearly stipulated that the yellow light serves as a warning. It is not meant for vehicles to accelerate through but functions as a reminder for the impending red light. The few seconds when the yellow light is on serve as a brief transition period, intended to inform drivers that the red light is about to come on, and they should immediately slow down, stop, and wait for the next green light. The purpose of the yellow light is to warn vehicles in the lane that have just passed the green light in the last half-second, giving them only three seconds to cross the opposing traffic lane; it also warns drivers not to run the yellow light, otherwise, if they collide with oncoming vehicles (those that start moving after seeing the green light), they will bear full responsibility. When a vehicle is crossing the intersection, if it is moving too fast to stop quickly and can completely pass the first line before the three seconds of the yellow light end, it is not considered running a red light. The reason for using red, green, and yellow as traffic light colors is that red conveys a sense of danger associated with blood and fire, to which the human eye is more sensitive; yellow also gives a sense of danger visually, though not as strongly as red; green provides a feeling of safety and calmness and is the most distinguishable from red. These three colors are vivid, visible from a distance, and easy to differentiate, aligning with human visual and cognitive habits.

What Does Brake Assist Mean?

Brake assist system, abbreviated as "ABS", monitors the frequency and force with which the driver presses the brake pedal. In critical moments, it assists the driver in applying greater braking force to the vehicle, thereby reducing the braking distance. The reason for the existence of the brake assist system: Although the anti-lock braking system (ABS) on the vehicle can shorten the braking distance and prevent the vehicle from losing control during braking, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents, in emergency braking situations, drivers often fail to quickly trigger the ABS due to insufficient decisiveness or inadequate pedal force, wasting braking time and failing to achieve the desired effect. The brake assist system compensates for this shortcoming of ABS. By utilizing sensors on the throttle and brake systems, it assesses the driver's operation of the throttle and brake pedals. When it detects that the driver suddenly presses the brake pedal with extreme speed and force, it is judged as requiring emergency braking, and the system then pressurizes the braking system to enhance and generate the strongest braking force, allowing the vehicle and its occupants to quickly escape from danger. The role of the brake assist system: It is used to prevent wheel lock-up when the brakes are applied. The moment the car experiences wheel slip, rollover, or loss of tire traction, while reducing engine speed, it purposefully applies braking control to individual wheels, ultimately guiding the car back onto the normal driving path, thereby avoiding the dangers caused by loss of control.

What are the differences between the Crown 155 and 133?

The differences between the Crown 155 and 133: 1. In terms of exterior design, the most significant difference is that the 155 has a more angular and rugged appearance, while the 133 is more rounded. The 133 features integrated taillights, whereas the 155's taillights consist of separate turn signals and trunk lid lights. 2. The ninth-generation Crown introduced a completely new exterior design, abandoning the previous "boxy" style in favor of a more "rounded" aesthetic, giving the car a more modern look. The ninth-generation Crown is part of the 13X series in the Crown lineup, with the JZS133 model being the most common in China, commonly referred to as the 133. Additional Information: The Crown is a mid-to-large-sized car brand under the Toyota Group. The Toyota Crown was first launched in Japan on January 1, 1955, and has since progressed through more than 13 generations. The domestic Crown models are equipped with 2.5L, 3.0L, and 4.3L engines. The first two are V6-cylinder, 24-valve designs, while the 4.3L engine is a V8. The engines feature the Dual-VVT-i (Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) system, which significantly improves intake efficiency, fuel economy, and power performance, delivering stronger horsepower.

What brand of engine is currently used in the Changan Eado?

Changan Eado currently uses the new generation Bluecore high-efficiency engine. The following is knowledge about the engine. Engine maintenance: If the air filter becomes clogged or accumulates excessive dust, it will hinder the engine's air intake. Moreover, a large amount of dust entering the cylinders will accelerate carbon buildup, causing poor engine ignition and insufficient power, which naturally increases the vehicle's fuel consumption. When driving on normal city roads, the air filter should be inspected after 5,000 kilometers. If there is excessive dust on the filter, consider using compressed air to blow the dust out from the inside of the filter element. Engine classification: External combustion engine: This means its fuel burns outside the engine. Invented in 1816 by R. Stirling of Scotland, it is also known as the Stirling engine. The engine converts the thermal energy generated by this combustion into kinetic energy. The steam engine improved by Watt is a typical example of an external combustion engine. When a large amount of coal burns to produce heat, it heats water into a large amount of steam, creating high pressure. This high pressure then drives mechanical work, completing the conversion of thermal energy into kinetic energy. Internal combustion engine: Specifically, the reciprocating piston engine. The biggest difference between this type of engine and external combustion engines is that its fuel burns inside the engine.

What does the Corolla 1.2T maintenance schedule include?

The Corolla 1.2T maintenance schedule includes engine oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, cabin air filter, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and coolant. More details about the Corolla 1.2T are as follows: 1. Space: The 2014 Corolla has been lengthened in terms of body size, with a wheelbase of 2700mm after the extension. In terms of seating space, a tester with a height of 177cm adjusted the front seat to the lowest position, leaving a fist's worth of headroom. When the tester moved to the rear, there was 2 fingers' worth of headroom and 1 fist and 3 fingers' worth of legroom. The floor bulge in the middle of the Corolla's rear seat is very small. 2. Handling: The overall driving experience is comfortable and stable. Netizens have said, "It drives very smoothly and feels even more stable at 120 km/h on the highway," but the directional accuracy is low. The sense of hesitation is obvious, and some netizens have reported a tendency to drift. The noise level is low, especially when idling, it is relatively quiet. The suspension tuning is on the softer side, which can filter out bumps on the road, providing good comfort, but the brakes are somewhat soft. Affected by Toyota's global recall, the 2011 Corolla comes standard with a brake override system, and the braking effect has been improved.

Do Driving Schools Conduct Training on Rainy Days?

Driving schools do conduct training on rainy days because the test day might be rainy. Precautions for driving practice on rainy days. 1. Prepare tissues or handkerchiefs to wipe the rearview mirrors before getting in the car. If using tissues, remember not to litter after wiping the mirrors; put them in your pocket and dispose of them in a trash bin later. 2. When practicing driving on rainy days, wear shoes with textured soles. Shake off any water on the soles before getting in the car, and rub your shoes a few times on the car floor before placing them on the clutch or brake to avoid slipping. Dry your hands before placing them on the steering wheel to prevent slipping. 3. On the lower right side of the steering wheel, opposite the turn signal button, is the windshield wiper button. Learn to use the wipers when driving in the rain. 4. During the test on a rainy day, try not to close the windows. Visibility is already poor in the rain, and keeping the windows open allows for better viewing of the rearview mirrors and reference points. 5. Wheels are prone to skidding on rainy days, so avoid driving too fast. When braking, use light or intermittent braking to reduce speed before applying full brakes, and avoid slamming on the brakes. 6. Students should adjust their mindset and practice driving in the rain during regular training sessions. Only by practicing in the rain regularly will they feel confident and not worried when encountering rainy conditions during the test, enabling them to complete the test successfully.
