The spark plugs of Highlander 2.0T should be replaced around 60,000 kilometers. Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers, but it may vary depending on the brand and engine. It is recommended to follow the user manual. The following standards can be referred to for maintenance and replacement: platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, remove the high-voltage distributor wires, and mark the position of each cylinder to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. When removing them, check if there are any leaves, dust, etc., on the outside and make sure to clean them thoroughly. Place the new spark plugs into the spark plug holes, hand-tighten them a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten them. Install the removed high-voltage distributor wires according to the firing order, and then snap the cover back on.

What is the relationship between engine RPM and vehicle speed?

The following is an introduction to the relationship between engine RPM and vehicle speed: 1. The conversion relationship between engine RPM and vehicle speed is: Vehicle speed = Engine RPM × Current gear ratio of the transmission × Wheel circumference. The engine RPM and vehicle speed do not have a one-to-one correspondence, as it also depends on the current gear, i.e., the gear ratio of the transmission. For example, at an engine RPM of 2500, the corresponding vehicle speed will differ between second gear and fourth gear. 2. Issues regarding engine RPM, vehicle speed, and the timing of gear shifting: (1) Shifting at 2500 RPM is not a mandatory rule. After starting in first gear, once the clutch is fully released, a strong press on the accelerator can lead to shifting into second gear. Then, from second to third gear, third to fourth gear, and fourth to fifth gear, shifting generally occurs at around 3000 RPM (for example, shifting from second to third gear at 3000 RPM, where the speed in third gear would be approximately 2200 RPM). The purpose is to ensure each gear operates within a healthy RPM range. (2) Shifting at 2500 RPM should be considered the minimum RPM for shifting. If the vehicle speed has not reached this RPM, you can continue driving in the current gear until exceeding 2500 RPM before shifting to the next gear. This principle applies to shifting above second gear.

Where is the Chevrolet Trunk Switch?

For high-end Chevrolet models, the trunk opening switch is located under the handle of the driver's door, which is a button. For low-end models, the trunk needs to be opened with a key or the switch is located under the driver's seat. The methods to open a Chevrolet trunk are as follows: 1. Key Opening: Older car trunks have a keyhole, similar to opening a car door. This method is cost-effective, durable, and less prone to malfunctions. 2. Remote Key Opening: This method is relatively convenient and is widely used by most cars in the market today. 3. Sensor-Activated Trunk: To open the trunk, you don't need to use your hands. Simply sweep your foot under the rear bumper, and the trunk will open automatically. Additionally, there is a close button inside the trunk door. Just press it, and the trunk door will close by itself without any manual effort.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the RAV4?

Toyota RAV4 has a fuel tank capacity of 57 liters. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Avoid prolonged idling: Keeping the vehicle in idle for extended periods can lead to incomplete combustion in the engine, resulting in carbon deposits that wear the engine and increase fuel consumption. 2. Check the air conditioning cooling system: Using higher fan speeds and lower temperatures to achieve cooling can easily cause malfunctions in the air conditioning system, significantly increasing the vehicle's fuel consumption. Regularly inspect the air conditioning cooling system and have it maintained and repaired by professionals. 3. Reduce vehicle load: Regularly organize the trunk, as unnecessary items increase the vehicle's load and consequently fuel consumption.

How to Use the Clutch, Brake, and Accelerator?

While driving, the right foot needs to switch between controlling the accelerator and brake pedals. Use the accelerator pedal when starting or accelerating, and the brake pedal when stopping or decelerating. Keep the heel on the ground and avoid moving it when switching between pedals. When not operating the accelerator or brake, always place the right foot on the brake pedal as a preparatory action for braking. Gear shifting techniques are as follows: 1. Before shifting gears, release the accelerator and press the clutch: Almost simultaneously release the accelerator pedal and press the clutch pedal before shifting gears. The action should be quick. Note: When releasing the accelerator pedal, only slightly lift the front part of the foot off the pedal without moving the heel or pulling it back. 2. After shifting gears, release the clutch and press the accelerator: After shifting gears, slowly release the clutch pedal. Once reaching the semi-engaged position, gently press the accelerator. After fully releasing the clutch pedal with the left foot, place it on the left rest area. Note: The left foot is usually suspended when releasing the clutch pedal.

Do brake pads always rust?

Brake pads can rust, which is a normal phenomenon. Below is relevant information about brake pads: 1. Function of brake pads: Automotive brake pads, also known as brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drums or discs that rotate with the wheels. The friction linings and blocks bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration. 2. Composition of brake pads: Automotive brake pads are generally composed of steel plates, bonded heat insulation layers, and friction blocks. The steel plates are coated to prevent rust, and the coating process uses an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker to monitor the temperature distribution during coating to ensure quality. 3. Inspection of brake pads: Under normal driving conditions, the brake linings should be inspected every 5,000 kilometers. The inspection should include checking the remaining thickness, the wear state of the linings, whether the wear on both sides is even, and whether the retraction is smooth. Any abnormal conditions must be addressed immediately. When replacing, use the brake pads provided by the original equipment manufacturer to ensure the best braking effect and minimal wear between the brake pads and discs.
