Speaking of Toyota's automatic start-stop system, which you referred to as 2nd start, I have quite a bit of experience with it. After driving for so many years, I find it quite annoying every time I encounter it, especially during traffic jams or short stops. To turn it off, look for the button—it's usually located below the steering wheel on the left side or near the instrument panel, often marked with a small green arrow and the words 'A Off.' Press it to disable the system. Note that this feature is designed to save fuel by automatically shutting off and restarting the engine when idle. However, if you frequently drive in the city, turning it off can reduce vibrations and noise, making the ride smoother. Keep in mind that it defaults to 'on' every time you start the car, so you'll need to press the button again to disable it. If you can't find the button, check the manual or ask at the dealership for its location based on your model. Overall, this feature is useful but not for everyone—disabling it can make driving much more comfortable.

As a frequent car enthusiast, I'm quite familiar with Toyota's 2nd start function, which is called Intelligent Idle Control. To turn it off is simple: after starting the car, check the control area on the right side of the steering wheel or the lower part of the center console. There's an icon of an engine with a cross or a circular arrow—just press it, and when the indicator light comes on, it means it's turned off. This system can help you save some fuel, but frequent starts can easily wear out the battery and engine components, so I recommend keeping it on during highway driving or at constant speeds, and turning it off in congested city traffic. Some newer models even allow you to permanently disable it in the car's settings—just go to the vehicle settings menu on the center screen and select 'off.' Try different operation methods; it will make your driving more comfortable and protect your vehicle.

What are the consequences of running a red light?

According to Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2 of the 'Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations,' driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal regulations results in a penalty of 6 points. Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating the prohibition of passage during the red light phase at a signal-controlled intersection or road section, crossing the stop line and continuing to drive. According to Article 26 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law': Traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to proceed, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Article 44 states that motor vehicles passing through intersections must comply with traffic signals, signs, markings, or the directions of traffic police. Here are some tips to avoid running a red light: Check the arrow light first, then the circular light: Currently, there are two types of traffic lights: arrow traffic lights and circular traffic lights. When arrow lights are present, drivers should first observe the arrow light and then the circular light to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, right turns are permitted; however, if the right-turn arrow is red, right turns are prohibited, and violations will be penalized as running a red light. Brake promptly: When the red light is on, ensure the front of the vehicle does not cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross, and the rear wheels follow, electronic cameras will capture the violation, resulting in a penalty for running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the light turns red, the vehicle must wait for the green light before proceeding. Check the green light countdown before proceeding: When the green light is flashing, if there is a countdown, use it to judge whether to proceed. If there is no countdown and the vehicle is close to the intersection with sufficient speed, it may proceed to avoid running a red light due to delayed braking. If the speed is low and the vehicle is far from the intersection, brake immediately to stop and avoid running the red light. Article 38 of the 'Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' states the following for motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle traffic signals: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without non-motor vehicle or pedestrian crossing signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians must follow the motor vehicle traffic signals. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not considered illegal under the following circumstances: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If a violation is captured by surveillance cameras due to yielding, manual review will not record the act as running a red light. Even if recorded, drivers can apply for reconsideration at the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is extremely low, and even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights. The evidence photos may be blurry, and accidental violations will not be penalized. Emergency situations: Transporting a critically ill patient to the hospital may involve running multiple red lights, quickly exhausting the 12-point limit. After delivering the patient, the driver can present hospital or patient-provided proof to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation records will be cleared. If possible, calling an ambulance is recommended to avoid accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police direction: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at key intersections. Drivers must follow the gestures of the traffic police.

What Causes Difficulty in Pressing the Clutch?

Reasons for difficulty in pressing the clutch: the clutch cable is stuck; the release bearing is damaged; there are issues with the clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder. Below is relevant information about the clutch: 1. Concept: The clutch refers to the separation device between the car engine and the transmission, also known as the clutch. 2. Working principle: The driving and driven parts of the clutch transmit torque through friction between contact surfaces, using liquid as a transmission medium (hydraulic coupling), or magnetic transmission (electromagnetic clutch), allowing temporary separation and gradual engagement. The engine's transmission device delivers different speeds to the wheels depending on the vehicle speed.

What Causes Blue Smoke from Diesel Vehicles?

Reasons for blue smoke from diesel vehicles: 1. Use of unqualified fuel or failure to change diesel for a long time, resulting in overly thin diesel and incomplete combustion; 2. Starting the engine with a large throttle when cold; 3. Poor quality of the mixed gas involved in combustion, or failure to replace aged or damaged filters; 4. Wear of the guide tube and valve during operation, causing excessive clearance between them, which leads to excessive engine oil being sucked into the combustion chamber from the rocker arm chamber during the intake process; 5. The piston ring being stuck in the ring groove due to carbon deposits, losing its elasticity and failing to function properly. If necessary, replace the piston ring or remove it to clean out the carbon deposits.

What is the difference between power L and T?

Here are the specific differences between power T and L: 1. Power: After the turbo intervention, T has stronger power than L, with an increase of about 40%. Under the same displacement, T can achieve stronger power than L and is more fuel-efficient. 2. Acceleration: T has stronger instant acceleration than L; however, L's entire acceleration process is more linear and smoother. 3. Maintenance cost: T costs more than L. The requirements for gasoline and engine oil are higher for T than for L. 4. Service life: L is stronger than T. Normally, L can be driven until it is scrapped.
