When the key is near the main door, the ID of the key chip automatically matches the ID of the engine. After successful pairing, the car door will open. The detection system inside the car will immediately recognize the smart card. Simply press the one-button start button (or knob) inside the car to start the vehicle normally.

I'm really into researching little car tricks, especially those designs that allow starting without a key. Many cars nowadays come with keyless start functionality—just keep the key on you, approach the car's sensing area, press a button, and the engine roars to life. Many brands like Toyota and Honda have this as standard, while more premium ones like BMW and Mercedes even offer remote engine start via a mobile app, which is super convenient. I remember the last time I drove my friend's Tesla—I unlocked and started it directly with my phone without even taking out the key. However, some older cars require modifications to use this feature, but the upgrades aren’t too expensive; I’d recommend asking a professional auto shop. Also, in the future, we might see fingerprint or facial recognition for starting cars, but the current technology is already quite mature with high security, so there’s no need to worry about theft. Overall, this tech makes life much simpler and driving out more hassle-free.

What to Do When a Tire Goes Flat on the Highway?

The solutions for a flat tire on the highway are as follows: 1. First, pull over to the side: Identify the cause of the flat tire, checking for possible leaks such as punctures, cuts, aging or cracked rubber on the valve stem, etc. 2. If you continue driving with insufficient tire pressure: It can damage the tire, cause the wheel rim to deform, and make driving unsafe, as it becomes difficult to control the direction. 3. If only one tire is flat: You can choose to replace it with the spare tire and then have it repaired at a service shop. 4. If you have tire sealant in the car: You can use the tire sealant, which is stored in a compressed canister. When used, it is injected into the tire through the valve stem, simultaneously sealing the leak and inflating the tire. If there is no spare tire, the best option is to call for roadside assistance to tow the vehicle or request a mobile tire repair service.

What are the three major tests required for the car body?

The following is an introduction to the three major tests for automotive bodies: 1. Crash safety test: According to Li Gaolin, Deputy Dean of BYD Automotive Engineering Research Institute, it is through thousands of CAE simulation optimizations during the R&D process, hundreds of matching tests, and dozens of vehicle crash tests that the restraint systems such as seat belts and airbags are continuously optimized and matched with the body structure and vehicle layout, resulting in the current 'safest domestic car,' the Surui. 2. NVH test: BYD's NVH laboratory is divided into two phases: Phase I includes a four-wheel-drive semi-anechoic chamber (pass-by), a two-wheel-drive semi-anechoic chamber, a drumless semi-anechoic chamber, a component sound absorption and insulation laboratory, a full anechoic chamber, a listening room, and a modal laboratory. Among these, the four-wheel-drive and two-wheel-drive semi-anechoic chambers are at the leading domestic level. The research achievements in NVH have significantly improved the overall quality of BYD's vehicles, providing consumers with a noise-free driving environment. 3. EMC test: The vehicle EMC laboratory was completed in 2013 and has the capability to conduct EMC tests for R&D models, including M1-class passenger cars and electric buses, as well as EMC testing for electric vehicle charging systems.

Can a leak sealant be used for engine cylinder head gasket leakage?

Engine cylinder head gasket leakage can be temporarily addressed with a leak sealant, but it is only an emergency solution providing a short-term buffer. The gasket must ultimately be replaced to prevent extensive damage from coolant entering the engine. Effects of engine cylinder head gasket leakage: When the cylinder head gasket is damaged, it compromises the seal between the cylinder head and the engine block, leading to air leakage. Due to oil and coolant leakage, the affected area may exhibit spraying of oil and coolant, accompanied by a sound of gas mixed with liquid. A damaged gasket also reduces cylinder pressure, allowing compressed gas to escape through gaps, potentially entering other cylinders or the engine block, ultimately causing unstable engine operation. Solutions for engine cylinder head gasket leakage: Cylinder head gasket damage is a severe issue. If detected, the vehicle should be stopped and the engine turned off immediately, followed by calling for assistance. Using a leak sealant is only a temporary measure, not a permanent fix. The damaged gasket should be promptly repaired to prevent severe damage that could lead to various vehicle problems.

What are the length, width, and height dimensions of the Toyota Highlander?

The length, width, and height dimensions of the Toyota Highlander are 4965mm/1930mm/1750mm, which are official data. The length of the Toyota Highlander refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle's supporting plane. The naturally aspirated engine of the Toyota Highlander has a maximum power of 141kW and a maximum torque of 238 N·m. This engine reaches its maximum power at 6000 rpm and its maximum torque between 4200-4600 rpm. It is equipped with in-cylinder direct injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission (E-CVT). There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, according to national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking to prevent accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.

What does it mean when the AT light is on in a car?

AT light on is the transmission fault light. The specific reasons for transmission failure are as follows: 1. Transmission oil leakage: Oil seeps out from the transmission housing or oil pan, which may be caused by aging or poor sealing of the sealing components; it could also be due to poor manufacturing processes resulting in sand holes in the housing. 2. Engine stalling, no response, or strong impact when shifting into gear: If there is a strong impact feeling when shifting into gear, it is called positioning shift impact. It should be noted that any automatic transmission will have a certain degree of impact feeling when shifting into gear. If there is no feeling at all, it indicates an internal fault. However, if the impact is too strong, it is unacceptable. The causes of this issue are complex and involve many aspects beyond the transmission itself. Engine stalling when shifting into gear is more noticeable when the car is cold. The problem could be related to the transmission or other body systems. 3. Engine stalling when shifting into D or R gear: This may be caused by a damaged lock-up solenoid valve or a stuck lock-up control valve. After shifting into D or R gear and releasing the brake, the vehicle does not move. Alternatively, the car may drive a short distance after a cold start but cannot move when the engine is warm. This situation is often caused by damage to the input shaft or reverse gear clutch, or damage to the D/R brake. It could also be due to severe automatic transmission oil leakage or extreme oil shortage.
