Chevrolet trunk opening methods vary depending on the configuration: 1. For high-end models, the trunk release button is located below the door handle on the driver's side - simply press the button to open; 2. For basic models, you need to use the key or operate it together with the fuel cap lever under the driver's seat. Taking the Chevrolet Cavalier 2020 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4474mm, width 1730mm, height 1471mm, with a wheelbase of 2600mm. The Chevrolet Cavalier 2020 is equipped with a 1.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 92kW and a maximum torque of 180Nm. It features MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.

As an experienced Chevrolet owner, my vehicle is the previous-generation Equinox, which offers multiple ways to open the trunk. The most commonly used method is the button on the car key—just press it once to unlock and open. Alternatively, there’s a dedicated button on the door-side of the center console inside the car; a simple press easily opens it. Some newer models even come with a kick-sensor feature, like swiping a foot under the license plate to trigger automatic opening—super convenient. I remember during winter when the trunk froze and wouldn’t open, a few gentle taps would release it. For safety, avoid attempting to open it while driving to prevent items from falling and affecting the journey. Regularly inspecting and lubricating the trunk hinges helps prevent jamming. These small tips have saved me a lot of trouble and made trips smoother.

When does the timing start for the reverse parking test in Subject 2?

Subject 2 reverse parking timing starts when the reversing begins. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. The test items for small cars (C1, C2) include five mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). Below are some key points to note for the Subject 2 test: 1. Fasten your seat belt: Always buckle up immediately after getting into the car. Be careful not to fasten it incorrectly or to the passenger seat, as the system will directly disqualify you. Do not unfasten the seat belt during the test. 2. Adjust the seat and mirrors: After entering the car, adjust the seat and mirrors, fasten the seat belt, turn on the left turn signal, shift into first gear, and release the handbrake. All six steps are essential. Ensure all preparations are complete before starting. 3. No stopping during the test: There is no time limit for reverse parking, but stopping during the process is not allowed. If the wheels remain stationary for 3 seconds, the system will judge it as a mid-test stop. Therefore, controlling the speed is crucial. 4. The time limit for starting on a slope is 30 seconds: The system will provide a voice reminder every 10 seconds, and exceeding 30 seconds will result in disqualification.

Does the Corolla Have a Particulate Filter?

The Corolla does not come equipped with a particulate filter across all its models. The 2021 Corolla, comprising 12 variants, lacks a particulate filter yet still complies with the China VI emission standards. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, designed to capture particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce soot emissions from diesel engines by over 90%, with the captured particles subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. How the particulate filter works: The diesel particulate filter is coated with precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the particulate filter through a dedicated pipe. Inside, a densely arranged bag-type filter traps the carbon particles on a metal fiber mat filter. Once the accumulated particles reach a certain level, a burner at the end automatically ignites, burning off the trapped carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide before release. To check if a Corolla has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Refer to the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, carefully review the fault codes in the manual to check for any "particulate filter" warning light indicators. Check the label on the oil filler cap. If it explicitly states 0W-20 grade oil, this indicates the presence of a particulate filter. Inspect the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter for an additional cylindrical section. If present, this is the particulate filter.

What documents are required for a car's first maintenance?

Items needed for the first maintenance include: driver's license; vehicle registration certificate; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle's driving license; vehicle's purchase invoice. Bring these to the designated first maintenance facility for the vehicle's initial service. Important note: Make an appointment with the 4S shop in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial service after the new car has been driven. The specific time varies by car, usually after driving 5,000 kilometers. The car needs to participate in the first maintenance in time, neither in advance nor delayed. The realization of the first maintenance marks the end of the car's break-in period, and it can now be driven according to the standard load and normal speed required by the car. The time for the first maintenance is calculated based on the date of picking up the car. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance time: mileage and time. Whichever comes first is the standard. The first maintenance items include: changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter, checking various oil levels for normality, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for damage, checking tire pressure for normality, and examining the tires for damage or bulges. Required time: It takes about 2 hours to complete all the work. The most important part of the new car's first maintenance is changing the engine oil and oil filter. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The choice of engine oil must refer to the "Vehicle Use and Maintenance Manual," as different models specify different engine oil grades. Maintenance precautions: Do not wash the interior of the car body with water: Many people clean their cars during holidays, washing the body with water and wiping it with a cloth. Here, it is important to remind that the interior of the car body should not be directly washed with water. If the floor mats are dirty, you can use a vacuum cleaner or take them out, brush them with detergent, dry them, and then put them back. There are many holes under the rubber mats on the floor of the driving compartment. If water enters, it will not dry but flow through these holes to the gearbox and other parts, causing erosion and corrosion. The better practice is to clean with a vacuum cleaner and then wipe with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the antifreeze in the car is insufficient, it is recommended to drain the antifreeze and add the same brand of antifreeze from the beginning. Since different brands of antifreeze have different chemical functions, various functional additives may corrode others. Different brands of antifreeze use different additives, so do not mix them to avoid unnecessary trouble. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When the bolts on a moving car rust, they are often oiled to function again. To prevent the bolts and nuts on the wheels from rusting, some people apply lubricating oil to them, but this brings necessary risks to safe driving. When the car is driving at high speed, the bolts and nuts can be easily loosened or even fall off, leading to driving failures. Do not press the accelerator when starting an EFI car: The starter of an EFI car is different from that of a regular car. Its fuel injection control device can automatically adjust the fuel supply based on the starter's temperature and working conditions, making the starter run smoothly.

Where is the car battery located?

The car battery is generally located in the engine compartment at the front of the vehicle, near the engine, or under the front passenger seat. In some models, it is installed under the spare tire in the trunk. The battery acts like a pacemaker for the car. During engine startup, it supplies power to the ignition system, fuel injection system, and other components. Additionally, it powers various electrical devices inside the vehicle, playing a role as crucial as the engine itself. When the battery charge is low, a warning light will appear on the dashboard, alerting the driver to replace the battery. Ignoring this warning may result in the car failing to start. In such cases, pressing the brake and lightly applying the accelerator while engaging the ignition button may help start the car. However, immediate replacement at a repair shop is necessary to avoid complete battery depletion, which would render the car inoperable. Daily maintenance for car batteries: Keep it clean: Maintain the battery in a clean and dry condition, ensuring ventilation holes are unobstructed. Clean any oxide buildup on the terminals and apply a small amount of grease to prevent corrosion. Charging voltage: Avoid overcharging or undercharging. For a 12V battery, the standard charging voltage should be between 13.5~14.5V, while for a 24V battery, it should be between 28~29.9V. Electrolyte level: The electrolyte should cover the plates. If the level is low, top it up with distilled water (not electrolyte). Rainwater or snowmelt can substitute for distilled water, but never use tap or river water. Regular charging: Batteries discharge over time when unused, leading to failure. Start the car periodically to recharge the battery. Avoid using electrical devices when the engine is off, as this drains the battery. Prolonged parking in open areas should be avoided; if unavoidable, remove the battery. Battery replacement cycle: New car warranties typically last three years or 100,000 km, and car batteries generally last about three years. Beyond this period, drivers should monitor battery health closely and replace it when necessary. Frequent use, high loads, or extended operation may shorten battery life. New car batteries often last 3-4 years, but replacements thereafter may only last around 2 years. Types of car batteries: Currently, car batteries are broadly categorized into two types: traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries, which have gained popularity in recent years. Lead-acid batteries consist of positive and negative plates, separators, a casing, electrolyte, and terminals. Discharge occurs through chemical reactions between the active materials on the plates in the electrolyte (dilute sulfuric acid). The grids are made of lead-antimony alloy. Over time, water loss occurs due to antimony contamination, leading to gas release and electrolyte depletion. Maintenance-free batteries use lead-calcium alloy grids, reducing water decomposition and evaporation during charging. Their sealed design minimizes acid gas release, offering advantages such as no fluid refills, reduced corrosion, better overcharge resistance, higher starting current, and longer charge retention, making them increasingly popular.
