I've been driving for ten years, and automatic parking is truly a time-saver. After starting the engine, you usually find a parking symbol button—like an icon with a 'P'—on the center console or near the steering wheel. Press it to activate the system. Then, drive at low speed, and it automatically scans for parking spaces, guiding you with sounds or indicator lights. I remember one time in a tight residential area, the system parked the car perfectly, even more precisely than I could have done manually. However, be aware that sensors can be affected by weather conditions, like rain, which may cause malfunctions, so keep your hands on the wheel and be ready to take over. After a few tries, you'll get the hang of it. The benefits include saving time and avoiding scratches, especially when searching for parking spots in the city. In short, making good use of this feature can boost daily efficiency, but don’t rely on it too much—safety always comes first.

As a tech-savvy car owner, I find automatic parking incredibly cool. Just press the Auto Park button after starting the car (some models require finding it in the touchscreen menu), and the system takes over. Sensors scan the space to calculate the trajectory, and you only need to follow the prompts to operate the steering wheel and brakes. I've tried it a few times—it's efficient, but understanding the principle is key: radar detects surrounding objects, and the computer plans the optimal path. Beginners might fear mistakes at first, but with a few tries, it becomes second nature. I recommend practicing in open spaces and avoiding automatic parking on steep slopes or near obstacles. This way, you can enjoy the convenience while preventing malfunctions. Future technology will only get smarter!

I'm a practical person, and the automatic parking system is easy to use: start the car, find and press the parking system switch, and the indicator light will show it's activated. When driving at low speed, it will search for an empty spot and prompt you to stop when it's time to operate. The key is to maintain a slow speed and ensure the surroundings are clear—don't force it in areas with many blind spots. Last time I used it, I saved ten minutes, but I must remind everyone that methods vary slightly by car model, so read the manual first and don't experiment recklessly. This way, it's both safe and efficient.

Why does the tire pressure monitoring light keep coming on?

Tire pressure monitoring light keeps coming on due to abnormal tire pressure. The tire pressure monitoring system automatically monitors the tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts the driver in case of tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: The system usually alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tires need to be checked and the pressure adjusted. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset in time, it will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to stay on. Simply reset the tire pressure monitoring system to resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve, monitors the tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure warning light will also come on. In case of sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.

What kind of engine oil is best for the Highlander 2.0T?

The Highlander 2.0T turbocharged engine requires the use of 5W30 full synthetic engine oil. Turbocharged vehicles must use full synthetic engine oil. Below is the relevant content introduction: 1. An engine with a turbocharger can deliver an exhilarating sense of acceleration the moment you step on the gas. However, when the turbo starts working, the engine torque multiplies. According to the principle of turbocharging technology, the oil film covering the engine crankshaft at this moment must withstand shear forces several times higher than before. 2. Therefore, it is essential to choose engine oil with a higher HTHS (High-Temperature High-Shear viscosity at 150°C). Full synthetic engine oil, with its excellent high-temperature stability, can well meet the high oil film strength requirements of turbocharged engines. We recommend the German MOTORGOLD-5W30 full synthetic engine oil, which has high oil film strength, the highest in its category, with an HTHS of 3.65, greatly aiding in power enhancement.

Why Can't Vehicle Owner Information Be Found Through License Plate Search?

The vehicle information in the vehicle query system has not been updated in a timely manner. Due to the slow network information updates at the traffic bureau, the time between querying a new license plate and the update is relatively short, resulting in the information not being properly updated. Generally, it takes about a month to input license plate information. Here are methods to determine if a vehicle is new: 1. Check the manufacturing date: The vehicle's manufacturing date should match the certificate of conformity, which is usually difficult to alter. If the manufacturing date exceeds 15 days, it is likely an old vehicle. 2. Inspect the brake discs: Most small passenger vehicles today use disc brakes (at least the front brakes are disc brakes), making the brake discs a very reliable indicator. Typically, after driving more than 200 kilometers, the brake pads will leave noticeable marks on the brake discs. There is usually a 1-2 mm distance between the brake pads and the outer edge of the brake discs. After driving a certain distance, a so-called 'step' will form on the outer edge of the brake discs (the 'step' on a new vehicle is very low).

What is the function of the switch on the Highlander's rearview mirror?

The switch on the Highlander's rearview mirror is used to toggle the anti-glare function. Pressing the switch can turn the auto-dimming feature on or off. When the indicator light is illuminated, it means the anti-glare function is activated, and the interior rearview mirror will automatically reduce reflection based on the intensity of the headlights from vehicles behind. Currently, there are two types of anti-glare interior rearview mirrors: manual and automatic. Manual anti-glare rearview mirror: This type of mirror uses optical principles to reduce glare. It features a dual-reflectivity mirror. When the driver feels that the reflected light is too strong and dazzling, they can manually adjust the mirror angle by moving the adjustment lever, causing the mirror to tilt. In this position, the mirror's reflectivity decreases, naturally reducing the intensity of the light. Automatic anti-glare rearview mirror: Higher-end models are equipped with automatic anti-glare rearview mirrors. These mirrors have a photosensitive diode installed behind the mirror surface. When the diode detects strong light, the control circuit applies voltage to the ionized layer on the mirror surface. Under the influence of the voltage, the mirror darkens to achieve the anti-glare effect.

What is the principle of a reverse radar?

The principle of a reverse radar is: radar detectors are installed on the rear bumper or both front and rear bumpers of the car to detect obstacles in the front and rear, helping the driver to see obstacles around the vehicle or the distance to other cars when parking. In addition to facilitating parking, this device can also protect the car body from scratches and improve driving safety. The full name of the reverse radar is reverse anti-collision radar, also known as a parking assist device. It is a safety assist device for car parking or reversing, consisting of ultrasonic sensors, a controller, and a display, among other components. The reverse radar also has certain blind spots, including obstacles that are too low, too thin, or ditches.
