Gently press the small rod at the lower right corner of the instrument panel. Here are related instructions: 1. Toyota fuel consumption display: Press the black-dotted column button on the instrument display when the engine is running to toggle between multiple displays: AB trip meter display, average fuel consumption display, and instantaneous fuel consumption display. 2. When the average fuel consumption is displayed, long-press the button to reset it. Maintaining good driving habits can effectively reduce fuel consumption. 3. Excessive idling while parked consumes more fuel - try to minimize idling time. Prolonged driving in low gears also increases fuel consumption. Frequent lane changes and curved driving will raise fuel consumption. Avoid prolonged low-speed driving. Sudden braking increases fuel consumption. Driving at high speeds with windows open consumes more fuel. Abnormal tire pressure leads to higher fuel consumption. Engine malfunctions can cause abnormal fuel consumption.

I used to drive Toyota cars frequently, like the Corolla or Camry, which both have cruise control systems that are quite simple to switch. Find those buttons on the steering wheel, usually labeled SET or RES. When the speed is steady, first press the ON/OFF switch to activate the system. Once you reach the desired speed, say 60 km/h, press the SET button to lock it in. If you want to speed up, hold the ACC+ button; to slow down, press the SET- button. If you encounter traffic or need to decelerate, simply tap the brake to cancel the cruise, and then press RES to resume the previous speed. On long highway drives, this feature is especially helpful for reducing fatigue, but don’t forget to stay aware of road conditions. Avoid using it in rain, fog, or poor visibility to prevent distractions. Some newer Toyota models even memorize the last setting, allowing you to quickly reactivate it with a single press after starting the car—pretty convenient.

Does the Camry have dual exhaust pipes?

The Camry features dual exhaust pipes. Below is an introduction to the functions of the exhaust pipe: Exhaust: It discharges the exhaust gases produced by the engine, reduces pressure, and is a crucial guarantee for the continuous operation of a vehicle. Noise Reduction: Throughout the entire exhaust system, there are two muffler systems. The first is the exhaust manifold that expels the engine's exhaust gases, and the second is the main muffler at the tail end of the exhaust pipe. After these two steps of noise reduction, the sound of the exhaust gases can be reduced to a reasonable range. Pollution Reduction: It filters exhaust gases to reduce pollution. There is a three-way catalytic converter in the middle of the exhaust pipe. The substances within it can chemically react with harmful components in the exhaust gases, thereby reducing air pollution from emissions.

Where Should Temporary License Plates Be Placed?

Temporary license plates come in two pieces: one should be placed on the left side of the vehicle's front windshield, and the other on the left side of the rear windshield. One temporary plate should be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, and the other should be affixed to the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. If there is no space on the rear windshield, the other temporary plate should still be carried in the vehicle. For passenger vehicles that have not yet been registered (including vans, sedans, SUVs, etc.), if they need to be driven temporarily on the road, two temporary license plates must be carried and affixed in the designated positions: one should be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, ensuring it does not obstruct the driver's view, and the other should be affixed to the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. Method for affixing temporary license plates: Both temporary license plates must be affixed simultaneously. One should be affixed to the upper right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, ensuring it does not obstruct the driver's view or be covered by insurance stickers. The other should be affixed to the upper left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. For other types of vehicles (such as trucks), due to installation constraints, only one temporary plate is issued, but it must still be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle.

Can Car Tires Be Replaced with a Larger Size?

Car tires cannot be replaced with a larger size. Doing so will affect the annual inspection and increase fuel consumption. Car tires are the only components in contact with the ground, making them crucial for driving stability and safety. Vehicle owners should not arbitrarily change the tire specifications and dimensions, so avoid replacing them with a larger size. The differences in tire sizes include variations in distance and grip. Below is a detailed explanation: Distance Variation: Larger tires cover a greater distance with each rotation of the connected driveshaft, while smaller tires cover a shorter distance per rotation. Grip Variation: Larger tires have a larger contact area with the road surface, enhancing the vehicle's grip, whereas smaller tires have a smaller contact area, resulting in weaker grip. Impact of Tires: Tires are the main components during a car's operation, and their performance directly affects the vehicle's safety, stability, and fuel efficiency.

How to Check Traffic Violation Records for Vehicles in Another Location?

Traffic violations in another location can be divided into the following situations: highway violations within the province, highway violations outside the province, and urban area violations in another location. Faced with these three different scenarios, car owners should adopt different methods to check and handle traffic violations in another location. For highway violations within the province, you can check on the official website of the provincial highway traffic management or visit the service window of the highway traffic police detachment for inquiries. For highway violations outside the province, you can inquire at the toll booth exit of the local highway or at the duty point of the traffic police and handle the violation promptly as required. For urban area violations in another location, you can check on the city's traffic website or directly visit the local traffic management department. If the violation is a ticket issued by the local traffic police, it is best to handle it promptly according to the specific requirements on the ticket.

How to Check Accident and Maintenance Records for Used Cars?

Checking accident and maintenance records for used cars is actually quite simple. First, you need to know which insurance company the vehicle is insured with. Accident records are considered personal privacy, and insurance companies will not easily provide them. You will need the policy number and the original owner's ID number to query. Log in to the insurance company's website, find the corresponding service window, and enter the policy number and the insured's ID number as required to retrieve the insurance information. You can also call the insurance company's customer service number and provide the policy number and ID number for inquiry. Alternatively, most insurance companies have a query entry under their official WeChat public account. The prerequisite for checking accident records is that the original owner reported the accident to the insurance company, so there will be a record. Many minor accidents are often settled privately, so you need to be extra careful during the vehicle inspection. Generally, maintenance records are only left when the vehicle is serviced or repaired at a 4S shop or a large repair chain. Therefore, when buying a used car, it's best to choose one that has been maintained at a 4S shop. To check maintenance records at a 4S shop, you can visit any brand 4S shop nationwide in person and provide the owner's identification documents for the staff to assist with the query. As long as the vehicle has been serviced or repaired at a 4S shop, detailed records will be kept regardless of the size of the service. Nowadays, maintenance records from 4S shops across the country are all interconnected, so you can query them from anywhere. Simply use a mobile phone and the official WeChat public account, input the vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), and you can check the maintenance records online to understand the vehicle's historical condition. All data can be retrieved with a single query, and you can do it from the comfort of your home without needing to download an app. The steps are as follows: Open the vehicle data query system on WeChat, click on "Query Vehicle Maintenance Records" or "Query Vehicle Accident Records," and then select the type of product you want to query. Manually enter the VIN. If you don't want to type it in, you can click the camera icon on the right to activate the phone's photo function, which will automatically recognize the VIN and avoid manual input errors. Simply take a photo of the VIN for automatic recognition. The recognized VIN consists of 17 alphanumeric characters. Click "Query" to retrieve the vehicle's maintenance records or accident records. Insurance records can also be queried by calling the insurance company and providing the license plate number and owner information. Accident records can also be queried simultaneously. However, insurance companies only record accidents that have been reported. Minor scratches or collisions that were not reported will not be recorded. In addition to the above methods, you can also query through 4S shops. Most people who want to check accident records are looking for serious accidents, such as major overhauls, which are usually repaired at 4S shops. Therefore, it's very convenient to find these records.

What does EBD mean in cars?

EBD in cars stands for Electronic Brakeforce Distribution system. Electronic Brakeforce Distribution system: It independently distributes braking force to each tire and continuously adjusts at high speed according to road changes, ensuring vehicle stability and safety. The function of Electronic Brakeforce Distribution system: EBD calculates the friction coefficient of all four tires during braking, adjusts the braking device to match braking force with friction, preventing tailspin or rotational movement. Therefore, EBD balances each tire's effective grip based on ABS, improves braking balance, and shortens braking distance.
