How to Open the Fuel Tank Cap of a Corolla?

Enter the vehicle and locate the fuel tank cap switch below the left side of the driver's seat. Lift the fuel tank switch, and the fuel tank cap located at the rear left side of the vehicle will open. Slowly unscrew the fuel tank cap and hang it on the back of the fuel filler cap. Below is more information about the Corolla's fuel tank: 1. The 2019 Corolla has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, while the 2018 and 2017 models have a 53-liter capacity, and they require 92-octane gasoline. 2. Corolla owners should avoid waiting until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling. This is because the fuel pump is located inside the tank and operates at high temperatures during continuous use. Being submerged in fuel helps to effectively cool it down. When the fuel light comes on, it indicates that the fuel level is below the pump. Consistently waiting until the light comes on to refuel may shorten the fuel pump's lifespan, and having too little fuel or running out of fuel could potentially damage the pump. Additionally, do not blindly use higher-octane gasoline; simply follow the manufacturer's recommended fuel grade for refueling.

I remember when I first started driving the Corolla, I didn't know how to open the fuel tank cover and was all flustered. Sitting in the driver's seat, I looked down and saw a small plastic lever on the floor to the left of the seat, which looked like a handle. I pulled it up and heard a slight click, indicating the fuel tank cover was unlocked. Then, I got out of the car, walked to the fuel tank, and gently pushed the edge of the cover to open it. Before refueling, I always made sure the engine was off to avoid spark risks, and I ensured the fuel nozzle was securely inserted to prevent spills. After refueling, I tightened the cap clockwise to ensure a good seal, preventing gasoline evaporation or dust ingress that could affect the engine. I also regularly checked the lever to see if it was loose, so it wouldn't fail and disrupt my trip someday.

How to Replace the Air Filter Element?

Replacing the air filter element involves the following steps: 1. Open the car's engine hood and locate the air filter box. Some boxes are secured with screws, while others use clips. For those with screws, use a screwdriver to open them. 2. For boxes secured with clips, simply open the clips and remove the old filter element from the box. To prevent dust and debris from falling in, block the intake pipe with a clean towel. 3. Install the new air filter element, then fasten the clips or use a screwdriver to tighten the air filter box cover. The air filter element is used to filter the air entering the engine, acting as the engine's mask. It ensures that the air drawn into the engine is clean, which is beneficial for the engine's health. The air filter element is a wear-and-tear part that needs to be replaced regularly.

Should the Clutch Be Depressed When Braking a Manual Transmission Car?

When braking a manual transmission car, there are situations where depressing the clutch is necessary and others where it is not, as this is not a fixed procedure. The primary purpose of depressing the clutch while braking is to prevent stalling. Below are some considerations for depressing the clutch in a manual transmission car: 1. There is no need to depress the clutch when the speed has not reached the critical point. This is because depressing the clutch during a turn can sometimes make the car more prone to tipping over, as it causes a significant instantaneous loss of tire grip. 2. The car will not stall if the speed is above 20 km/h in third gear, above 25 km/h in fourth gear, or above 35 km/h in fifth gear. In other words, when braking during driving, each gear must maintain a speed above its minimum threshold; otherwise, the clutch should be depressed to prevent stalling. 3. When the speed is suitable for shifting to a higher gear, immediately release the accelerator pedal, depress the clutch pedal, and move the gear lever to the neutral position. Then quickly release the clutch pedal and immediately depress it again while shifting the gear lever to the higher gear. Finally, gradually release the clutch pedal while slowly pressing the accelerator pedal to ensure the car continues to drive smoothly.

How to Avoid Mistaking the Brake and Accelerator Pedals?

Methods to avoid mistaking the brake and accelerator pedals are as follows: Do not place both feet on the ground; instead, place one foot on the brake pedal. Below is an introduction to the brake system: Brake Pads: Also known as brake linings, brake pads are the most critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking actions is largely determined by the brake pads. Brake pads generally consist of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The heat insulation layer is made of non-heat-conductive materials to provide thermal insulation.
