The method to reset the maintenance odometer on a Corolla is: 1. Press the menu button on the turn signal control lever located on the left side of the steering wheel; 2. Enter the mileage and fuel information menu option, then rotate the thumbwheel on the control lever; 3. Scroll to select the odometer in the options, then press the setclr button at the top of the control lever to reset it. Taking the 2021 Toyota Corolla as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4635mm, width 1780mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 50l, and curb weight 1335kg.

Resetting the maintenance mileage reminder for the Toyota Corolla is actually quite simple. I’ve been driving this car for years and do it after every service: Close the door, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, then press and hold the TRIP button on the dashboard for about 6 seconds until the wrench icon or numbers on the screen flash and disappear. Release the button, and the reminder will be reset. After resetting, it will start counting down from 5,000 km for the next reminder. Make sure to reset it after maintenance; otherwise, the reminder may interrupt normal alerts, potentially leading to overdue maintenance and overlooked issues. Regular maintenance is key to car care—changing the oil and oil filter every 5,000 km reduces engine wear and extends its lifespan. If you’re unsure, I recommend checking the user manual or practicing a few times to avoid mistakes.

Are Umbrellas Provided in Audi Cars?

Audi cars do not come equipped with umbrellas. The only automobile brand that provides umbrellas with its vehicles is Rolls-Royce, where every model produced by Rolls-Royce includes an umbrella. Audi is one of Germany's oldest automobile manufacturers. Since 1932, Audi has adopted the four-ring emblem, symbolizing the merger of Audi with DKW, Horch, and Wanderer to form the Auto Union. Headquartered in Ingolstadt, Germany, the Audi Group comprises its parent company and subsidiaries including Audi Hungaria, quattro GmbH, as well as Lamborghini and Coworth technology companies, Audi do Brasil, and Audi Senna. Additionally, Audi operates production plants in countries such as China, Malaysia, and South Africa. Audi focuses on the mid-to-high-end automotive market, primarily producing sedans and SUVs. Its main product lines include the A series (models 1 through 8), Q series (3, 5, 7), R series, and TT series (TT, TTS, TTRS), among others.

Are the doors replaced at 4S stores original factory doors?

4S stores replace doors with original factory doors, as many 4S stores do not allow the use of sub-factory parts for vehicle repairs. It is not recommended to replace doors with sub-factory parts because sub-factory parts differ from the original stamping molds and have different precision levels. The processing precision and manufacturing materials of original factory doors are the same as those of the original parts, and their quality meets automotive manufacturing standards. The only difference lies in the painting process: original factory doors are painted along with the entire vehicle, while replacement original factory doors are not pre-painted and are painted separately after installation. As long as the installation process is carried out professionally, there will be no significant difference in quality and integrity between original factory and original parts. Since doors are not considered wear-and-tear parts, any replacement is a strong indication that the vehicle has been involved in a collision, which could classify the car as an accident vehicle and depreciate its value. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid replacing doors after an accident if possible. If the door is damaged, consider repairing it with sheet metal work as long as safety and reliability can be ensured.

How Long Does It Take to Repair a Car at a 4S Shop?

Depending on the damaged parts and the extent of the damage, the repair time will vary. If easily worn parts like tires or lights are damaged, or if there are minor scratches on the front or rear bumper, the repair usually takes 1-2 hours. However, if core components like the engine or transmission have serious issues, the repair time can range from several days to several weeks. Factors affecting repair time: Generally, surface damage to a car is easy to repair, but internal damage requires disassembling the vehicle, which is more troublesome and time-consuming. The more severe the damage, the more difficult and time-consuming the repair will be. If spare parts are readily available, the repair will be faster. If parts need to be ordered, the waiting time will increase, prolonging the repair period. The skill level of the technician also affects the speed of the repair. Notes on car repair: You can choose to repair your car at a 4S shop or an external repair shop, each with its pros and cons. 4S shops guarantee repair quality and usually offer a warranty period after repairs, but they are more expensive and slower. Repair shops are cheaper and faster, but the quality can be inconsistent.

Can 5W20 engine oil be used in summer?

5W20 engine oil cannot be used in summer. The number after W in 5W20 engine oil is 20, indicating a relatively poor viscosity grade. During summer, high temperatures combined with continuous engine operation lead to increased internal temperatures. Engine oil with inadequate viscosity may cause engine damage. 5W20 engine oil is a multi-grade oil. W stands for Winter, the number before W represents the low-temperature resistance index, and the number after W indicates the viscosity index of the oil. 5W means the oil can withstand low temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius, meaning this type of oil can still perform its function at -30 degrees Celsius. If the number before W is 10W, it indicates the oil can tolerate low temperatures down to -20 degrees Celsius. In automotive engine oils, the summer oil grades are: 20, 30, 40, 50. The larger the number, the higher the viscosity and the higher the maximum applicable temperature. The winter oil grades are: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W. The symbol W stands for Winter, and the smaller the number before W, the lower the low-temperature viscosity, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the minimum applicable temperature.

What type of fuel should a motorcycle use?

Generally, motorcycles use 92-octane gasoline, but 95-octane gasoline can also be used. Below is relevant information about gasoline: 1. Octane Rating: Different grades of gasoline have different octane ratings. The higher the grade, the higher the octane rating. Gasoline with a higher octane rating also has better anti-knock properties. Motorcycle engines with relatively high compression ratios generally require the use of 95-octane gasoline to prevent engine knocking. 2. Knocking Phenomenon: Knocking is an abnormal combustion phenomenon in the engine. A four-stroke gasoline engine has a compression stroke. After the compression stroke ends, the spark plug should ignite the combustible mixture, allowing it to burn and generate power to push the piston downward. Knocking occurs when the combustible mixture ignites on its own before the spark plug fires. At this point, the piston is moving upward, and the burning mixture pushes it downward, which can affect the engine's power output and even damage the engine. Severe knocking can even cause piston cracking or connecting rod deformation.

Can a car charge the battery while idling in place?

When a car is idling in place after starting, it can charge the battery. However, the electricity charged in this way is commonly referred to as "floating charge," which exists for a short period and will dissipate if the car is parked for a slightly longer time. If the battery charging indicator on the dashboard is not lit, it means the car is charging. If it stays lit, it indicates a charging fault, and the car should be taken to a repair shop for inspection. Below is an introduction to charging while idling: Operating principle of charging: Essentially, the engine drives the alternator (generator) to generate electricity, which is then rectified and stabilized to provide a certain voltage to the battery. Most of the time, this voltage is slightly higher than the battery voltage (e.g., 14V, while a normal battery is typically 12V), achieving constant voltage charging. Introduction to idling in place: Idling in place refers to a condition where the engine is running but the car is not moving, with the gear in neutral. This is often described as "working without output," consuming fuel without moving the car. The charging duration can also be affected by other factors, such as whether high-power devices are being used in the car, whether the air conditioning is on, or whether external USB power is being supplied. These factors can all increase the charging time.
