Corolla Hybrid's handbrake brakes all four wheels, with a front-to-rear ratio of 70:30, meaning the front wheels have greater braking force. Introduction to Corolla Hybrid's handbrake: The high-end models of the Corolla are equipped not only with a hybrid handbrake but also with Level 2 autonomous driving technology, which is highly effective and reduces the driver's workload to some extent. How to activate the Corolla Hybrid's handbrake: The active braking system in the Corolla is enabled by default and activates when a collision is imminent but the driver hasn't pressed the brake pedal. Introduction to the Corolla: The Corolla, formerly known as the "Corolla" in some markets, is a brand under Toyota. It uses Michelin 215/45R17 tires, TRD Sportivo high-performance shock absorbers, TRD TF4 17-inch sport rims, reinforced clutches, and high-performance brake pads to ensure excellent sports performance.

The handbrake of the Corolla Hybrid typically only brakes the two rear tires, which is a standard design in most modern cars. I've studied car structures myself, and the parking brake targets the rear wheels to enhance stability. When parked, the vehicle's center of gravity shifts backward, allowing the rear wheels to grip the ground more firmly and prevent sliding. As for the front wheels, they handle steering and primary braking, so the handbrake doesn't engage them to avoid increasing steering difficulty during towing. The Corolla Hybrid's electronic parking brake is quite intelligent, providing slight feedback during operation, but its core function remains locking the rear axle via brake calipers or drums. Regular maintenance is recommended, such as checking the handbrake travel every six months. If it loosens, adjustments should be made; otherwise, parking on slopes may become unsafe. The hybrid system doesn't affect this design—it's just more seamlessly integrated. Don’t overlook this detail. Develop good driving habits, ensuring the handbrake light is off before moving forward to prevent unnecessary wear.

When Should Fuel Additives Be Added?

Fuel additives should be added before refueling. Long-term use of fuel additives can be harmful to the engine, and excessive use may increase carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, potentially leading to engine knocking, detonation, and worsened vehicle emissions. The functions of fuel additives include: 1. Removing carbon deposits from the vehicle; 2. Reducing abnormal engine wear; 3. Improving atomization efficiency; 4. Lowering vehicle emissions; 5. Extending the service life of the car engine; 6. Cleaning the fuel system. Fuel additives are primarily composed of nano-molecules, cleaning activation factors, antioxidants, anti-corrosion agents, and demulsifiers. They are specifically designed to target harmful components such as sulfur, gum substances in fuel, and engine carbon deposits, aiming to enhance power, promote combustion, provide anti-oxidation, anti-wear, cleaning, dispersion, demulsification, anti-corrosion, and lubrication effects.

Can motorcycles with Shanghai C yellow license plates enter the city center?

Shanghai C yellow license plate motorcycles can travel in all areas except the central seven districts where they are prohibited, except for roads where motorcycles are not allowed. The central districts include Huangpu, Hongkou, Jing'an, Yangpu, Changning, Putuo, and Xuhui. Here is more related information: Shanghai license plate classification: Shanghai motorcycle license plates are divided into yellow and blue plates. Yellow plates are further divided into Shanghai A and Shanghai C, while blue plates include Shanghai A, C, D, and E. The driving range for Shanghai A is similar, but there are significant differences between Shanghai C yellow plates and Shanghai C, D, E blue plates. Shanghai C yellow plates can only travel outside the outer ring road, while Shanghai C, D, E blue plates can travel almost anywhere outside the inner ring road.

What are the reasons for the ABS brake light to illuminate?

The reasons for the ABS brake light to illuminate are: 1. Faulty wheel speed sensor; 2. ABS circuit malfunction; 3. Faulty ABS pump or pressure regulating solenoid valve; 4. ABS computer failure. The solutions for the ABS light illuminating in a car are: 1. Inspect and replace the wheel speed sensor; 2. Replace the ABS pump or pressure regulating solenoid valve; 3. Repair the ABS computer system. The functions of ABS are: 1. To maximize the effectiveness of the brakes, reducing braking time and distance; 2. To effectively prevent vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability; 3. To allow steering during emergency braking, providing excellent steering control; 4. To avoid severe friction between the tires and the ground, reducing tire wear.

How to deal with scratches on car paint caused by branches?

The methods to deal with scratches on car paint caused by branches are: 1. Squeeze an appropriate amount of scratch remover wax onto a sponge according to the area of the paint surface that needs treatment; 2. Use the sponge soaked with scratch remover wax to repeatedly rub in circles on the scratched area until the scratches are removed; 3. After the scratch remover wax on the paint surface dries, you can use a soft cloth to remove the remaining wax. The main car paint processes include: 1. Electrophoretic paint: Its function is to prevent rust and corrosion; 2. Primer paint: Its function is to resist UV rays and stone chipping, providing a base for the color paint; 3. Color paint layer: Its function is aesthetics; 4. Clear paint layer: Its function is to give the car body a glossy finish and resistance to friction.
