How Long Is It Normal for the Fan to Run After the Car Is Turned Off?

It is normal for the fan to run for one minute after the car is turned off. The reasons why the radiator fan continues to run after the car is turned off are as follows: Protecting the Engine: If the engine coolant temperature at the moment of parking is higher than the acceptable soaking temperature of the engine, the onboard computer will automatically calculate the fan's operating speed and duration, thereby controlling the fan's operation. The higher the engine temperature, the longer the fan will run after parking. When the engine coolant temperature drops below the soaking temperature, the fan turns off. This protects the engine and extends its service life. Preventing Car Spontaneous Combustion: In ordinary cars, the cooling system stops working after the engine is turned off, often causing the engine temperature to rise further after shutdown, leading to damage. Therefore, high-end cars now feature an automatic cooling function. The radiator's power is directly connected to the battery, so even after the engine is turned off, if the temperature remains high, the cooling fan will continue to operate for a period until the temperature cools down, preventing high temperatures from causing the car to spontaneously combust.

What Causes Body Shaking at High Speeds?

The reasons for body shaking at high speeds are as follows: 1. Misaligned positioning angles: The front wheel positioning angles are misaligned, with excessive toe-in. 2. Wheel issues: Low front tire pressure, deformed front wheel spokes, incorrect number of tire bolts, or tire imbalance due to repairs. 3. Drivetrain faults: Loose installation of drivetrain components, bent drive shaft, power imbalance, or deformed front axle. 4. Damaged shock absorbers: Inconsistent stiffness of the front leaf springs, causing vibration at higher speeds and steering wheel shaking. To diagnose, lift the drive axle, secure the front wheels with safety blocks, start the engine, and gradually shift into higher gears until the drive wheels reach the test vibration speed. If both the body and steering wheel shake, the vibration is drivetrain-related.

What to Do When the Car Battery Is Completely Dead?

When the car battery is dead, the only solution is to jump-start it using another battery. Connect the positive terminal of the other car's battery to the positive terminal of your car's battery, and then connect the negative terminal to the negative terminal. Here are the detailed steps: 1. If the battery suddenly dies, contact a rescue vehicle and connect jumper cables to temporarily charge the battery and start the engine. To avoid being unable to charge when the battery is dead, it is advisable to keep a set of jumper cables in the car. 2. When connecting the jumper cables, be very careful not to reverse the order: first connect the positive terminal of the dead battery to the positive terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery, then connect the negative terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery to a metal part in the engine compartment of the dead car (grounding). 3. After connecting the jumper cables, start the rescue vehicle's engine and slightly increase the RPM. After about 5 minutes, the dead battery will receive an emergency charge. Once charging is complete, remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of connection.

What grade of engine oil does the RAV4 use?

RAV4 uses 5W40 full synthetic engine oil or 5W30 semi-synthetic engine oil, with a replacement capacity of 4L and a replacement interval of 5000 kilometers. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption and buffering. The RAV4 is the base model in Toyota's compact multi-purpose off-road vehicle family, with body dimensions of 4630mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1685mm in height, a wheelbase of 2660mm, and a body weight of 1420kg. The RAV4 is available in both 3-door and 5-door models, featuring an intake port and front and rear bumpers that emphasize its off-road feel, along with enlarged headlights and a more prominent Toyota logo. Thanks to an 80mm increase in wheelbase and enhanced interior height and width, the RAV4 offers spacious and comfortable seating.

Where to Check the 15-digit Certificate Number?

The 15-digit certificate number is located on the vehicle certificate that comes with the car when it leaves the factory. When picking up the car, the owner can request the vehicle certificate from the 4S store staff and check the certificate number on it. However, the vehicle certificate needs to be submitted to the DMV for retention when the owner registers the new car for a license plate. More relevant information is as follows: Note 1: If the owner wants to check the vehicle certificate number after submitting it, they can consult the car dealer to see if the DMV where the vehicle is registered can provide the certificate number based on the engine number. Additionally, by comparing the engine number, they can verify whether the factory records of the car match the engine number on the vehicle registration certificate. Note 2: Besides the vehicle certificate, the 4S store should also provide the owner with other documents such as the car purchase invoice, vehicle user manual, and warranty service card. Otherwise, it may negatively impact the owner's license plate registration and maintenance after picking up the car, causing unnecessary trouble.
