Where is the power steering fluid located in the Vios?

The power steering fluid in the Vios is located on the right side of the engine, and the oil reservoir-shaped container is the power steering fluid box. Below are the steps for replacing the power steering fluid: 1. Use two jacks to lift the front wheels of the car and engage the handbrake. 2. Drain the power steering fluid: Use a tube clamp to remove the return hose of the power steering fluid (apply gentle force to avoid damaging the connection), and place the return hose into a waste bottle. It is best to cover the oil outlet of the reservoir to prevent leakage. 3. Start the vehicle and turn the steering wheel left and right to expel the old power steering fluid, while adding new power steering fluid to the reservoir. When the expelled fluid appears clean, it indicates that the old fluid has been completely removed. 4. Reinstall the oil hose (while the engine is off) and add new power steering fluid until the level reaches the maximum mark. 5. Finally, start the car and turn the steering wheel left and right to allow the power steering fluid to circulate for a while.

How to use electricity in a Corolla hybrid?

Corolla hybrid method is as follows: 1. The method of jump-starting a Corolla hybrid is different from that of a regular gasoline-only model, and ordinary cars cannot jump-start a hybrid model. Therefore, in such cases, it is necessary to call for roadside assistance from a 4S store. Random jump-starting may easily cause damage to the electronic components in the car. 2. The Corolla hybrid version is the Corolla Dual Engine, which adopts Toyota's advanced hybrid dual-engine technology and enters the A-class car price range with a 'higher-level' sense of quality. The Corolla hybrid version's common mid-range acceleration is only 3.1 seconds, and its fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 4.2 liters. In addition, its high-efficiency engine itself minimizes exhaust emissions, and when driving solely on the electric motor, it further reduces environmental pollution.

How to Shift Gears in an Automatic Car While Driving?

Here are the methods for shifting gears in an automatic car while driving: 1. While driving, you can manually shift from a lower gear to a higher gear, but shifting from a higher gear to a lower gear must be done within a certain speed range. That is, the vehicle can be manually shifted to the current gear it is operating in. For example, you cannot shift into second gear at 90 km/h because the transmission is at least in third gear at that speed. You must wait until the speed drops to 50 km/h before manually shifting into second gear. Similarly, shifting into first gear should be done when the speed drops below 20 km/h. 2. Once the speed increases to a certain level, you can switch to D (Drive) mode for normal driving. If you are cruising at high speeds on the highway, you can use the O/D (Overdrive) mode to save fuel. Most automatic transmissions have 6 to 7 gear positions, arranged from front to back as follows: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive). Some forward gears include D, 3, 2, and 1. Certain models may only have three forward gears (D, 2, and 1). If equipped with a four-speed transmission, there may also be an O/D switch to engage the overdrive gear.
