Highlander's spare tire is located under the chassis. First, prepare the necessary tools including: the vehicle, a socket head, and a breaker bar. The following steps outline the specific operation method: 1. Open the trunk and locate a black cover. Opening this cover will reveal a nut. 2. Find the nut that secures the spare tire (the spare tire is fixed to the vehicle's chassis with a screw rod). Place the socket head over the screw in the black hole. 3. Then, insert the breaker bar through the hole in the middle of the socket head. 4. Turn the breaker bar counterclockwise. 5. At this point, the spare tire will drop down. Remove the protective panel beneath the spare tire to take it out.

What is the tire pressure for small cars in summer?

The tire pressure for small cars in summer is around 2.1 to 2.4 bar. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Hazards of abnormal tire pressure: 1. Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates localized wear of the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; 4. Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; 5. Causes excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving; 6. Increases the friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; 7. Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling.

Is Car Antifreeze the Same as Coolant?

Car antifreeze is not entirely the same as coolant. Coolant is equivalent to water plus antifreeze. Coolant refers to the liquid that can lower the engine's temperature, which can be either water or antifreeze. Water is a very low-grade coolant and is also limited by seasons. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, which is coolant with antifreeze properties. Whether in scorching heat or freezing cold, a car cannot do without coolant. Proper use of coolant not only protects the engine's cooling system and improves heat dissipation but also enhances engine efficiency and extends its service life. Engine coolant should be replaced every two to three years. However, if a higher-quality coolant is selected and there are no leaks in the engine cooling system, the replacement interval can be extended.
