Check the motor vehicle registration certificate. When purchasing a vehicle, there is always a motor vehicle registration certificate. Examine the status on the motor vehicle registration certificate to see if there is a "mortgage" notation. Inquire at the vehicle management department. The owner must go in person. If it is a used car, the original owner must accompany you to make the inquiry. Check with the insurance company. The status of the car affects the beneficiary of the car insurance. If it is a mortgage loan, the beneficiary is the bank. Inquire at the traffic police department. If it shows "mortgage," it means the car is mortgaged. If it shows "normal," then it is not a mortgaged vehicle.

Where is the fuse box of Toyota Yaris L?

Toyota Yaris L's fuse box is located under the hood, on the left side of the battery in the engine compartment. The black box near the battery is the fuse box. The car fuse box is a container for automotive fuses. Based on the size of the fuses installed, it can be categorized into: small car fuse boxes, medium car fuse boxes, and large car fuse boxes. Common injection molding materials include PBT engineering plastics, each with different high-temperature resistance properties. When selecting a car fuse box, factors such as the current of the automotive fuse and the size requirements of the fuse must be considered. Different fuse boxes should be chosen accordingly; otherwise, the fuse box and wires may overheat and cause a fire. Automotive fuses are a type of current fuse. When the circuit current exceeds twice the rated current of the fuse, it will melt within seconds, providing circuit protection. Precautions for replacing fuses: Replace the fuse according to the rated current value indicated on the fuse box cover. Do not use a fuse with a higher rated current. If the new fuse blows immediately, it indicates that there may be a fault in the circuit system, which should be repaired as soon as possible. In the absence of a spare fuse, in an emergency, you can replace it with a fuse from another device that does not affect driving and safety. If a fuse with the same current load cannot be found, you can use one with a lower rated current than the original fuse.

What are the differences between Toyota Highlander and Wildlander?

Wildlander and Highlander are SUV models from Toyota but belong to different classes. Wildlander is a compact SUV, while Highlander is a midsize SUV. These two models also differ in their powertrains. Wildlander is equipped with two naturally aspirated engines: a 2.0L and a 2.5L. In contrast, Highlander exclusively uses a 2.0L turbocharged engine. The differences between Toyota Highlander and Wildlander can be summarized in the following three aspects: 1. Both Wildlander and Highlander are SUV models under Toyota. Wildlander has a wheelbase of 2690mm, with length, width, and height dimensions of 4665mm, 1855mm, and 1680mm respectively. Its 2.0L naturally aspirated engine delivers 171 horsepower and a maximum torque of 209 Nm, paired with a CVT transmission. Highlander, as a benchmark in the midsize SUV segment, features a wheelbase of 2790mm, with length, width, and height dimensions of 4890mm, 1925mm, and 1720mm respectively. Its 2.0L turbocharged engine (coded 8AR-FTS) produces 220 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. 2. Wildlander offers both front-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive versions, with the latter equipped with an on-demand four-wheel-drive system. 3. Highlander's four-wheel-drive version primarily operates in two-wheel-drive mode under normal conditions, only engaging all four wheels when encountering specific road conditions.

Can I drive on the same day I get my driver's license?

You can drive on the same day you obtain your driver's license, but you need to affix a "novice driver" sticker at the rear of the vehicle to alert others. Additionally, new drivers during their probationary period are not allowed to drive alone on highways; they must be accompanied by an experienced driver with a corresponding or higher-level license in the passenger seat to provide guidance. The following precautions should be noted: 1. Display the "Novice Driver" sticker: According to regulations issued by the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau last week, starting September 1st, all drivers operating motor vehicles during their probationary period must display a unified "novice driver" sticker with red characters on a yellow background. Licensed probationary drivers need to collect this sticker for free from local vehicle management offices before October 1st. 2. Adjust the seat and rearview mirror positions: Seat adjustment serves two purposes: comfort and safety. Discomfort may affect the driver's mood, potentially leading to traffic accidents. For safety reasons, when the pedal is fully depressed, there should still be some bend in the legs to facilitate quick application of force in emergencies. Rearview mirrors should be adjusted to eliminate blind spots. They should not only provide a view of traffic behind and to the sides of the vehicle but also allow the driver to see parts of their own vehicle, which aids in reversing and parking. 3. Wait for the computer self-check to complete before starting: For many fuel-injected vehicles, when the ignition key is turned, the onboard computer performs a self-check to eliminate potential safety hazards. This check typically includes systems such as ABS, braking, lubrication, and ESP. The self-check usually takes a short time, about three to four seconds. It is advisable not to start the engine during this period and to wait until all indicators show normal before starting the vehicle.

What is the oil specification for Toyota Levin?

Toyota Levin most commonly uses SAE 0W-20 oil – Toyota Genuine Motor Oil. For later maintenance oil changes, you can choose brands like Mobil, Shell, Castrol, or Total; domestic brands such as Great Wall, Kunlun, Tongyi, or Longpan. The Toyota Levin official manual primarily recommends oil specifications 0W-20 and 5W-30, followed by 5W-20. The viscosity of motor oil changes with temperature, so special attention is needed to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity, with 5W representing the ability to withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, ensuring smoother cold starts for the car. The latter number represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C. A higher value means the oil can maintain its viscosity index better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the oil in a Toyota Levin is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to cool down, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine for about 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out; Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply oil to the gasket of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add new oil through the engine valve cover filler port, typically filling up to three-quarters of the oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to ensure the oil level is within the standard range.

What are the reasons why the car always fails to start?

Engine failure to start is one of the most common car problems. There are two scenarios for failure to start: one is when you can hear the starter motor turning, but the engine does not start. The other is when there is no sound at all after turning the key. The details are as follows: 1. The first scenario: The starter works, but the engine does not. This situation is more complicated because it could be caused by any one of multiple faults. It is rare for two or more faults to occur simultaneously, but it cannot be ruled out entirely. (1) First, it could be an electrical or electronic fault. The occurrence is usually very sudden, with no prior signs. Electrical faults include: blown fuse, open circuit in the high-voltage coil, open circuit in the low-voltage circuit, detached central ignition wire, leaking distributor rotor, or damaged spark plug. Electronic faults mainly refer to the central computer control board losing functionality. (2) Then, it could be a fuel system fault. Engine shutdown caused by fuel system faults often comes with symptoms like the engine feeling weak or the accelerator pedal feeling unresponsive. Possible fuel system fault locations include: fuel pump failure, blocked fuel line, clogged fuel filter, carburetor failure, or damaged injector, etc. Sometimes, the fuel tank might be empty without the owner realizing it. Adding a few liters of gasoline can solve all the issues. (3) Lastly, it could also be a mechanical fault. Common mechanical faults include: timing belt breakage, cylinder leakage with no pressure, etc. 2. The second scenario: The starter does not work or barely works. In this case, the first thing to check is the battery. There are many methods to check it. Connect the battery's positive and negative terminals, then turn the key to start. If the voltage indicator suddenly drops below 8 volts when the power is connected, the battery definitely has a problem. If you don’t have a voltmeter, you can use a 12-volt small bulb and a short piece of power wire instead. The method is the same—if the bulb suddenly becomes significantly dimmer, it also indicates an aging battery. In many cases, the battery may already be failing but can still power the headlights. This is not surprising. Only at the moment of ignition can the battery's performance truly be tested because that is when it bears the maximum load.
