Toyota RAV4 automatic transmission fluid should be changed every 40,000 kilometers, while manual transmission fluid should be changed every 60,000 kilometers. Manual fluid replacement requires 4-6 liters, and machine fluid replacement requires 9-12 liters. The following are symptoms of deteriorated transmission fluid in the Toyota RAV4: 1. Slipping: On roads requiring high torque, such as uphill sections, insufficient lubrication of transmission gears can cause slipping. 2. Leakage: Issues with transmission sealing. 3. Jerking: Deteriorated transmission fluid, along with debris and dirt, can hinder smooth gear engagement. 4. Abnormal noises: Loud noises from the transmission during driving may indicate deteriorated transmission fluid. 5. Overheating: The dashboard will typically display a transmission overheating warning. 6. Stalling: This may be due to a damaged input shaft speed sensor.

A new car can be driven on the highway at any time during the break-in period. Precautions for driving on the highway include: 1. The driver and front-seat passenger should fasten their seat belts, and the driver should not answer phone calls; 2. Avoid sudden steering wheel movements while driving at high speeds; 3. Do not change lanes arbitrarily while driving. When changing lanes or overtaking the vehicle in front, the turn signal must be activated in advance; 4. When overtaking, only the adjacent lane is allowed. After overtaking, the vehicle should immediately return to the driving lane and must not straddle or drive on the lane divider; 5. Do not reverse, drive in the opposite direction, cross the central divider to make a U-turn or turn, conduct test drives, or drive a training vehicle. Overtaking and parking on ramps are prohibited; 6. Maintain a following distance of at least 100 meters.

Is the Left Overtaking Always Fully Responsible?

Left overtaking is not necessarily fully responsible, it depends on the actual situation. Here are some precautions about overtaking: 1. No overtaking: Overtaking is not allowed in special road sections such as intersections, narrow bridges, curves, steep slopes, and tunnels. If a collision occurs with other vehicles while overtaking in these sections, you will be fully responsible.

Meeting vehicles: While driving, there are often vehicles coming from the opposite direction. If you encounter vehicles from the opposite direction, overtaking is not allowed.

How to Adjust the Idle Speed of a Scooter?

Generally, turning the screw clockwise can increase the idle speed of the scooter, while turning it counterclockwise can decrease the idle speed. Here are some related introductions: 1. Introduction one: The adjustment of the air-fuel mixture and idle speed should be done after the engine is warmed up. It is relatively normal for the idle speed to be unstable when the engine is cold. 2. Introduction two: The idle speed of scooters is usually slightly higher than that of other models, reaching around 1600 RPM is considered normal. Additionally, the starting RPM for scooters generally needs to reach 3000 RPM. 3. Introduction three: If the idle speed is noticeably unstable with significant fluctuations, you can clean the air filter and carburetor, and check if the valve clearance is too small. Also, inspect whether the intake pipe between the carburetor and the engine, the suction pipe of the vacuum fuel tank switch, and other rubber hoses of the carburetor have aged or are leaking air.

Can You Refuse to Take Delivery of a Car Older Than 3 Months?

You can refuse to take delivery of the car. After placing an order for a motor vehicle, you can request that the production date of the vehicle must fall within a specified time frame. If it exceeds this period, you have the right to refuse delivery. Below are specific details about vehicle delivery inspection: 1. Check the vehicle's paint: Inspect for any scratches or wear on the paint. Observe under ample sunlight to check for color discrepancies. Open the doors and adjust them to various angles to examine the sheet metal for smoothness under different lighting conditions. 2. Inspect the bodywork: Examine the gaps between components such as the front hood, doors, fuel cap, taillights, and headlights to ensure they are even. Uneven gaps may indicate that parts have been replaced. 3. Check the vehicle's identification plate: The vehicle's identification plate is located on the side of the driver's door or inside the engine compartment. Verify that the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) matches. 4. Assess the vehicle's wear: Check if the tire tread hairs are intact and inspect the undercarriage for any signs of scraping.
