In general, just shift to D gear. The car stops when you press the brake, and you usually don't need to press the accelerator when starting at a traffic light—releasing the brake will make the car move slowly. Always keep your right foot ready to press the brake. Here are some specific tips: 1. Gear Shifting: No need to rush when shifting gears or press the clutch, making hill starts much simpler. Just remember not to release the brake randomly when temporarily stopping; if parking for a long time, shift to P gear. 2. Gear Changing: If waiting at a long red light, some cars may slightly shake when in D gear with the brake pressed. In such cases, you can shift to N gear for long waits and shift back to D gear when the countdown is almost over.

What causes the flashing of the 4LO light on a Prado?

The flashing of the 4LO light on a Prado is caused by engine misfiring leading to excessively high exhaust temperatures, poor operation of individual cylinders, or overly rich fuel mixture resulting in poor combustion. Common solutions include checking the condition of spark plugs and high-voltage wires; inspecting whether the cylinder pressure is normal, and if not, examining whether the valves and cylinder gasket are damaged; and checking the fuel injection system. Below is an introduction to common faults in automotive electrical systems: 1. Engine not turning: When the starter switch is engaged, the starter motor spins freely, but the engine does not turn. The fault mainly lies in the starter's control and operating components or the starter's one-way clutch. 2. Poor instrument operation: Malfunctioning of various instruments on the dashboard. The causes of instrument failures include short circuits in the combination instrument's power supply or grounding circuits, damage to sensors and their wiring, or damage to the instrument cores. The causes of warning light failures on the dashboard include bulb failure, loose lamp sockets, or damage to alarm sensors and their wiring. 3. Poor lighting operation: Malfunctioning of various lights on the vehicle. Possible causes include bulb failure, loose lamp sockets, or poor operation of the lighting circuit system, mainly due to faults in the power supply or wiring, switches, and plugs in the circuit.

How to Test if a Parking Sensor is Working Properly?

You can roughly determine which sensor is malfunctioning by comparing the presence and volume of beeps between several sensors. Parking sensors have blind spots, and in actual maintenance, you can use these blind spots to approach a specific sensor to check for faults. When a parking sensor fails, it will emit a long intermittent "beep" sound to indicate a malfunction in the left sensor.
