I've always been a car enthusiast, and I remember the Corolla 1.2T is equipped with a four-cylinder turbocharged engine, which is quite ingeniously designed. This engine structure balances power output and fuel economy, with turbocharging technology helping to boost torque at low revs, making city driving smoother. It feels quick and stable when starting off, with daily fuel consumption around 5 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite fuel-efficient. Compared to three-cylinder engines, four-cylinder ones have much less vibration, offering more comfort during driving without any shaking issues. In terms of reliability, Toyota's four-cylinder engines have always had a good reputation, with moderate maintenance costs that can be handled with regular servicing. If you're considering this car, the number of cylinders is a key parameter—four cylinders are very practical in similar vehicles, especially suitable for commuting families.

I've been driving the Corolla 1.2T for several years and genuinely find its four-cylinder engine performance quite reliable. Although the engine displacement is small, the addition of turbocharging ensures timely power response, making it capable for hill climbing or highway overtaking, while also being particularly fuel-efficient. As an average car owner, I often pay attention to this - the four-cylinder structure offers better smoothness, unlike some cars that may have a shaky feeling, providing a more reassuring driving experience. Maintenance is straightforward, just requiring oil and filter changes at reasonable costs. Actual fuel consumption measures less than 6 liters per 100 kilometers, making it suitable for daily commuting and effortless for long-distance travel. The number of cylinders was a key factor when choosing a car, and this four-cylinder system is well-balanced in design, durable and enjoyable to drive.

Is the electronic driver's license recognized by traffic police in Shanghai?

Traffic police do not recognize the electronic driver's license in Shanghai. Here are the relevant details: 1. Areas where electronic driver's licenses are valid: The electronic driver's license has not been promoted nationwide and is only applicable in certain regions, such as Guangzhou, Nanjing, Harbin, Yunnan, Shenzhen, etc. However, it cannot be used on highways as highway traffic police are not under local jurisdiction. Therefore, it is still necessary to carry a physical driver's license. 2. Function of the electronic driver's license: The electronic driver's license, commonly known as the 'e-license,' serves as a supplement to the physical license. In cases where drivers do not carry their physical licenses, they can still present the electronic version for roadside checks. When traffic police conduct roadside inspections and find that a driver has forgotten to carry their physical license, they may allow the driver to present the QR code of the electronic license. After verification via PDA or system confirmation of the license's validity, the traffic police will not impose fines or impound the vehicle on the grounds of 'not carrying a driver's license or vehicle registration.'

How to Adjust the Tightness of Car Brakes?

If you want to adjust the brake pedal travel, there is a nut under the pedal that can be adjusted. If you want to adjust the clearance, most modern cars are equipped with automatic adjustment and do not require manual adjustment. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. Automatic slack adjuster brake system: Cars are generally equipped with an automatic slack adjuster brake system, which can automatically adjust the car's brakes. Regular inspections should still be performed during daily use, as the automatic slack adjuster brake system may experience some malfunctions. 2. Automatic adjustment principle: The automatic slack adjuster is preset with different brake clearance values. During normal use, if the brake clearance exceeds a certain limit, the brake adjuster will drive the internal one-way clutch structure to reduce the clearance by one gear, thereby keeping the brake clearance within a reasonable range and ensuring normal brake operation. 3. Adjustment differences: Due to different car models and varying vehicle weights, there may be some differences when adjusting the brakes. It is essential to ensure that the brakes on the same axle are adjusted consistently, as different models have different loads, and the tightness of adjustment may also vary accordingly.

Why Can't the Key Be Pulled Out of an Automatic Transmission Car?

Normally, the reason the key cannot be pulled out after turning off the engine is that the automatic transmission's gear shift is not fully returned to the P (Park) position. It may appear to be in place, but it hasn't triggered the electronic sensor, or there might be an obstruction like a coin in the gear slot preventing it from fully engaging. Here are some precautions for using an automatic transmission car: 1. Avoid coasting in neutral (N): When the automatic transmission is in N (Neutral), mechanical cooling stops, but the transmission still operates while the vehicle is coasting, which can cause damage. 2. Do not shift into P (Park) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop: If you shift into P while the car is still moving, the transmission may be subjected to external pressure, leading to potential damage or gear jamming. 3. Do not always use D (Drive): Automatic transmission cars also have multiple gear settings. When climbing hills or overtaking, you can switch to L (Low) or S (Sport) mode for greater power.

What are the effects of a missing catalytic converter on a car?

It has no impact on the car itself, but a significant impact on the environment. If the catalytic converter is missing, the car will emit a large amount of harmful gases, which may even enter the vehicle cabin, affecting the health of the occupants. It may also cause the vehicle to fail annual inspections, resulting in fines or impoundment. Symptoms of a damaged catalytic converter: 1. Red burning phenomenon in the exhaust pipe: If the vehicle is started for too long, the exhaust pipe emits a noticeable red burning phenomenon towards the catalytic converter, and a hissing or gurgling sound can be heard when accelerating. 2. Inability to provide accurate data: If it fails to provide accurate data to the vehicle's onboard computer, the air-fuel mixture may become too lean or too rich. A lean mixture can cause difficulty in ignition, poor driving performance, and engine misfires, while a rich mixture can increase fuel consumption, incomplete combustion, and severe carbon buildup in the cylinders and spark plugs. 3. Pungent odor: A pungent odor may be noticed during idling or acceleration. If an exhaust analyzer detects severely excessive hydrocarbon emissions, immediate cleaning and repair are required. When the catalytic converter is functioning normally, the temperature at the front is lower than at the rear. If the front temperature is higher than the rear, it indicates poor performance of the catalytic converter.

What type of engine oil is recommended for the Kia Sportage 2.0?

The recommended engine oil type for the Kia Sportage 2.0 is 5W-20. The Kia Sportage engine has a relatively compact structure with small gaps between internal components. Using low-viscosity oil can help save fuel and allow the engine to perform at its best. Below is an introduction to the classification of engine oil grades: 1. Viscosity classification: 10W-40 is its SAE standard viscosity value. This viscosity value first indicates that the oil is multi-grade. The 'W' stands for WINTER, and the number before the 'W' represents the oil's flow performance at low temperatures. A smaller number indicates better cold-start performance. The number after the 'W' represents the oil's stability at high temperatures (i.e., its resistance to thinning). A larger number indicates better high-temperature stability. 2. Winter-grade lubricating oil viscosity classifications are: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W. The symbol 'W' stands for winter, and the smaller the number before the 'W,' the lower the oil's low-temperature viscosity, the better its low-temperature flow performance, and the lower the applicable minimum temperature. Summer-grade lubricating oil viscosity classifications are: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. The larger the number, the higher the viscosity and the higher the applicable maximum temperature. 3. All-season lubricating oil viscosity classifications are: 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-40, 5W-50, 10W-20, 10W-30, 10W-40, 10W-50, 15W-20, 15W-30, 15W-40, 15W-50, 20W-20, 20W-30, 20W-40, 20W-50. The smaller the number representing the winter part (indicating a lower applicable minimum temperature), and the larger the number representing the summer part (indicating a higher applicable maximum temperature), the better the oil's performance across a wider temperature range.

What Are the Consequences of Leaving Perfume in a Car Exposed to Sunlight?

It may explode. In the hot summer, items like perfume should not be left in the car exposed to sunlight for extended periods. Here is additional information: 1. Reasons for explosion: The reason car perfumes can explode is that most perfumes sold on the market are made from a mixture of fragrance and alcohol, with alcohol being the predominant component. The more alcohol a perfume contains, the higher the likelihood of spontaneous combustion. If the perfume contains only a small amount (less than 30%), the chance of explosion is minimal. However, some unscrupulous manufacturers add excessive alcohol to cut costs. If a perfume bottle contains 60% to 70% alcohol and is exposed to prolonged high temperatures, the bottle may expand, leading to a physical explosion and subsequent spontaneous combustion. 2. Other flammable and explosive items: (1) Lighters. These are the most dangerous and easily forgotten items. Some drivers habitually place lighters on the dashboard, which is extremely risky. The gas inside disposable lighters expands when heated, and the plastic casing can explode due to the heat. If it comes into contact with any fuel or flammable materials in the car, it can easily cause a fire. (2) Carbonated drinks. The dissolved gas in the drinks can evaporate under high temperatures, causing the bottle to burst. While this won’t lead to a car fire, the spilled liquid can dirty the entire interior. Given the wide variety of beverages available today, and the constant emergence of new types, it’s best to take them with you when you can’t identify their ingredients.
