The setup method for the Prado trip computer is as follows: 1. Locate the display screen in the center of the instrument panel below the steering wheel; 2. You can see various icons and functions of the trip computer, and you can set up each function through these icons. The Prado trip computer displays trip computer data on the screen. Taking the 2019 Prado model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4840mm, width 1885mm, height 1890mm, wheelbase 2790mm, minimum ground clearance 215mm, fuel tank capacity 87l, and the body structure is a 5-door, 7-seat SUV.

I find the Prado's trip computer settings quite straightforward to operate, starting with the buttons on the steering wheel. First, press the control button on the left side of the steering wheel, usually the menu button, then navigate to the settings option to enter. There are quite a few things you can adjust inside, including changing the language to Chinese, setting the units to kilometers or Fahrenheit, and regularly correcting the time to avoid inaccurate displays which can be inconvenient while driving. I usually reset the fuel efficiency display after each refuel to monitor the car's fuel consumption; brightness adjustment is particularly useful for night driving to prevent the display from being too dim to read. There's also the service reminder reset, which is handy to prevent constant warning pop-ups. Overall, once you get used to it, the settings become second nature. It's advisable not to tamper with safety-related settings like navigation integration or driving mode displays—keeping them at default is safer. If changes are necessary, consulting the manual can save a lot of hassle.

I really enjoy tinkering with the electronic gadgets in my car, and the settings on the Prado's trip computer have been a blast to play with. By accessing the settings module through the center console screen or dashboard menu, I often customize the display theme and brightness—personalizing it makes driving more fun. The unit conversion options make it easy to switch between kilometers and miles or Celsius and Fahrenheit, which is super handy for road trips abroad. You can also reset trip information or fuel data to test performance under different driving styles. For more details, make sure the system language is set correctly, or you might get confusing navigation instructions. Be careful not to tweak settings while the engine is running, as it could cause the system to reboot or lag. I recommend regularly updating the software or connecting via Bluetooth to expand functionality, enhancing the overall driving experience. Just explore around—don’t be afraid to make mistakes, and you’ll get the hang of it.

What is the purpose of cleaning the throttle body?

Cleaning the throttle body can ensure smooth air intake, restore the vehicle's idle speed and emissions, and recover the vehicle's power. The following are specific details about the throttle body: 1. Definition: The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake manifold, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to produce power. It connects to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, often referred to as the throat of the car engine. 2. Classification: There are two types of throttle bodies: the traditional cable-operated type and the electronic throttle body. In traditional engines, the throttle body operates via a cable (flexible steel wire) or linkage, connecting the accelerator pedal at one end and the throttle linkage plate at the other. The electronic throttle body primarily uses a throttle position sensor to control the opening angle of the throttle based on the engine's power demand, thereby regulating the amount of air intake.

What is the formula for calculating engine displacement?

Engine displacement = Single cylinder displacement × Number of cylinders, Single cylinder displacement = (π × Bore × Bore) ÷ 4 ÷ 1000 × Stroke (unit: cc). Cylinder displacement is only an approximate value and will be higher than the labeled value. The bore is the diameter, usually measured in millimeters. The following is relevant information about displacement: 1. Concept of car displacement: Car displacement refers to the gas volume swept by the piston from top dead center to bottom dead center, also known as single cylinder displacement, which depends on the bore and piston stroke. Engine displacement is the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders, usually expressed in milliliters. Engine displacement is one of the most important structural parameters, more representative of engine size than bore and number of cylinders. Many indicators of the engine are closely related to displacement. 2. Meaning of "golden displacement": It has the characteristics of fuel economy; good handling, power, and comfort; and can meet consumers' various usage needs.

Why Are Used Cars So Cheap and Are They Worth Buying?

As long as it's a new car, whether it's never been driven or has been used for a month, its value typically depreciates by up to 20% as soon as it hits the road. This is commonly referred to as the '20% depreciation upon landing' for new cars. The first year sees the fastest depreciation, while cars around 3 years old retain their value the best. Therefore, used cars aged 3-5 years are highly favored by car owners due to their excellent cost-performance ratio. Used cars can indeed be purchased, but the following points should be noted: 1. Choose Reputable Dealers: Always buy from reputable dealers to ensure effective handling of any issues post-purchase. Also, be cautious with online used car platforms—while they can be trusted, don't rely on them entirely. 2. Pay Attention to Mileage: This is mainly relevant for decommissioned commercial vehicles, which not only have high mileage but also limited remaining service life. Operational vehicles are mandatorily scrapped after eight years, leaving you with only a year or two of use at most. 3. How to Select a Car: After considering the purchasing channels, here's how to choose a car: First, browse online to see if any models catch your eye, then compare prices across platforms (for reference only). Once you've made a selection, visit a used car market to inspect potential models in person.

Can Second-hand Car Insurance Be Transferred Without Ownership Transfer?

No. According to the new regulations on auto insurance, when the ownership of a vehicle is transferred, the corresponding compulsory traffic insurance will automatically be transferred to the new owner. This is because compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory under national law. However, commercial insurance does not fall under the mandatory transfer category. The original owner typically cancels the commercial insurance that has not expired, and the new owner can then purchase it separately. Below is an introduction to how second-hand car insurance can be transferred: 1. Change of policyholder: The new owner of the second-hand car, with the transfer receipt, a copy of the vehicle license, the original insurance policy, their ID card, and the original insurer's ID card, can fill out a transfer application form at the original insurance company to complete the endorsement transfer. 2. Application for cancellation: To apply for cancellation, only the premium from the start of the insurance period to the cancellation date needs to be paid, and the remaining premium will be refunded by the insurance company accordingly. 3. Policy process: The transfer of second-hand car insurance essentially involves changing the beneficiary and license plate number on the original insurance endorsement after the second-hand car transaction.

How to Drive Through Waterlogged Roads?

When passing through waterlogged roads, it is necessary to use a low gear and drive slowly. If a vehicle stalls in deep water, the engine is prone to damage and may be scrapped. Here is some knowledge about vehicle scrapping: 1. Latest regulations: According to the 2020 vehicle scrapping regulations, non-operational small and micro vehicles have no usage period limit, but when the mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide them to be scrapped. 2. Driving age regulations: In 2020, the driving age limit for non-operational cars was abolished, while the mileage limit for private cars was set at 600,000 kilometers. Vehicles are exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, inspected once a year from 6 to 15 years, and inspected twice a year after 15 years. As long as they pass the annual inspection, they can continue to be driven on the road. Taxis and ride-hailing vehicles are subject to mandatory scrapping after 8 years.
