Toyota Yaris transmission fluid is recommended to be changed within 3 years or 60,000 kilometers for automatic transmission fluid. Generally, 4 liters of oil are required for a basic change, or a circulating machine can be used, which typically requires about 10 liters of oil. Older vehicles may require more frequent maintenance. It's important to note that the manufacturer does not specify a corresponding replacement and maintenance cycle for transmission fluid. For automatic transmissions, 4S shops usually recommend changing it every 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers, while for manual transmissions, the recommendation is every 40,000 kilometers. Using a circulating machine to change the transmission fluid generally requires about 8 liters. Precautions when changing automatic transmission fluid: When changing the fluid, it is essential to use the automatic transmission fluid specified by the manufacturer. Different automatic transmissions have varying internal structures, friction components, and sealing components. The original fluid is specially formulated based on the transmission's structure and materials. Other brands of fluid, even if of high quality, may not be suitable. Additionally, when changing the transmission fluid, some old fluid may remain in the transmission channels and torque converter. Mixing different fluids inside the automatic transmission may degrade the performance of the transmission fluid, leading to poor lubrication or operational abnormalities, which can severely damage the automatic transmission.

What Causes Car Body Shaking When Accelerating?

Car body shaking when accelerating can be caused by: 1. Clogged fuel lines leading to poor fuel supply; 2. Air intake system leaks or blockages; 3. Damaged ignition coils or spark plugs; 4. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body; 5. Faulty fuel injectors; 6. Clogged fuel filters. The functions of the accelerator pedal are: 1. Controlling engine speed by adjusting the pedal depression amount; 2. Determining engine output power through carburetor control. The working principle of the accelerator is: When the pedal is pressed, it directly controls the throttle body. The throttle opening increases, allowing more air into the engine. The ECU then commands the fuel injection system to increase fuel delivery, causing the engine speed to rise and the vehicle to accelerate.

Reinstall the protective plate and lower the car, then add engine oil through the filler port. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To alleviate friction and high temperatures; 2. To reduce gas leakage and prevent external pollutants; 3. To prevent contact between water, air, acidic harmful gases, and parts; 4. To buffer the pressure rise in the engine cylinder port; 5. To flush away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts.

What Does a Yellow Exclamation Mark on a Car Dashboard Mean?

A yellow exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates an abnormality or malfunction in the corresponding system. There are many indicator lights on the car dashboard that feature an exclamation mark, such as the tire pressure indicator, lighting fault indicator, steering system fault indicator, brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator, and wiper fault indicator. Below is a detailed explanation of the exclamation mark warning lights: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection, where professionals can identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or that the transmission fluid is below the normal range. Solution: Replace the transmission fluid promptly. Although it can be done independently, it is not recommended. Professionals should handle it based on the specific vehicle and the appropriate transmission fluid type. Brake System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark inside. This represents a brake system warning, indicating a fault in the brake system or low brake fluid level. Solution: First, check if the handbrake is released. If the warning light remains on after releasing the handbrake, drive slowly to a repair shop for professional inspection. Tire Pressure Anomaly: A horizontal line with parentheses and an exclamation mark below. This is the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the tire pressure is too low. Solution: If you have a tire pressure gauge, you can check it yourself. Otherwise, visit a 4S shop to restore the tire pressure to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a fault in one of the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can check common bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue. Additionally, during daily vehicle use, the warning lights displayed on the dashboard are divided into two colors—yellow and red—indicating different levels of severity: Yellow indicates a fault in the corresponding system that is not very serious. Reduce speed and proceed to a repair shop to eliminate potential safety hazards. Red indicates a very serious problem in the corresponding system. In such cases, do not continue driving. Pull over safely and seek professional assistance immediately to prevent unforeseen risks to the vehicle and personal safety. Note: When starting the car, all warning lights will illuminate as the system performs an automatic check. They should turn off after the check is complete. If a light does not turn on when the ignition is switched on, remains lit, or lights up while driving, it indicates a fault in the related system. In such cases, seek professional help promptly to inspect and resolve potential safety hazards.
