Toyota Corolla's headlights can be turned on by: 1. Locating the lighting control assembly on the left side of the steering wheel and rotating it to turn on the low beams; 2. Pressing the lighting switch button below the left side of the steering wheel and pushing it in the opposite direction of the driver to turn on the high beams. The Corolla is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4635mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 185Nm. The front suspension uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs an E-type multi-link independent suspension.

I just got started with my Toyota Corolla and was a bit confused about turning on the headlights. Later, I figured out that the lever on the left side of the steering wheel is the light switch—just give it a gentle twist to turn them on. There are usually several settings: turning to ON is for manual light control, while AUTO activates the automatic sensor feature, where the car will turn on the lights by itself when it gets dark. I recommend using the auto mode—it’s super convenient as the lights automatically turn on when driving at night. Remember to manually switch to the highest setting in poor lighting conditions like rain or fog to ensure safety. Don’t forget to check if the bulbs are working properly—if the headlights don’t turn on, it could be a blown fuse or a burnt-out bulb. Simple issues can be fixed yourself, but for more complicated problems, visit a repair shop. Developing this habit helps protect both yourself and others.

As a long-time Toyota Corolla owner, turning on the headlights is a piece of cake. Just rotate the control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel to the ON or AUTO position to illuminate the lights. I usually keep it on AUTO mode to avoid manual operation - the car automatically activates the lights while saving energy. Always remember to turn on headlights when driving at night, especially on highways, to improve visibility. Occasionally clean the lamp covers to prevent dirt from affecting brightness, and replace aging bulbs promptly instead of waiting for failure. During rainy days, manually switch to high beam position to ensure clear forward vision. The headlight controls are thoughtfully designed, making it easy for new drivers to master quickly.

Turning on the headlights in the Corolla is effortless. Just rotate the lever on the left side of the steering wheel to the ON position to activate the headlights. The AUTO mode is recommended for smarter operation, as it automatically turns on the lights at night for convenience. Always remember to switch on the lights in low-light conditions while driving—safety comes first. Regularly check if the lights are functioning, and get them fixed if they're not working.

Is the Volkswagen Golf GTI four-wheel drive?

The Golf GTI is not four-wheel drive; it is a front-engine, front-wheel-drive vehicle. Front-engine, front-wheel drive means the engine is positioned at the front of the car, and the front wheels drive the entire vehicle. Four-wheel drive refers to a system where all four wheels operate independently during driving, providing higher cornering limits on the road and optimal power distribution to each wheel during high-speed turns. The Golf GTI is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 162 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The engine achieves its peak power at 4,500 to 6,200 rpm and its peak torque at 1,500 to 4,400 rpm. This engine features hybrid injection technology and uses an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block. Part-time four-wheel drive: Part-time four-wheel drive is a system where the driver can manually switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The driver can engage or disengage the transfer case to achieve two-wheel or four-wheel drive based on driving needs. Full-time four-wheel drive: Full-time four-wheel drive means that all four wheels of the vehicle are independently driven at all times during operation. This system requires the use of a central differential. Full-time four-wheel drive first appeared in Subaru vehicles. This four-wheel-drive mode significantly enhances the vehicle's off-road capability and handling performance.

What are the consequences of deducting 6 points?

A deduction of 6 points on your driver's license has no significant impact as long as you do not accumulate 12 points within one cycle. According to Article 24 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": If a motor vehicle driver's accumulated points within a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. If the points do not reach 12 points but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. Below are relevant details about driver's license point deductions: 1. Scoring Cycle: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points, calculated from the date the driver's license was initially issued, and so on in a continuous cycle. The license's point-clearing date is the issuance date on the license, and the system automatically clears the points on that date each year. The scoring cycle is one year from the "initial issuance date" of the license, and so on in a continuous cycle. 2. Handling of Accumulating 12 Points: If you accumulate 12 points, you must attend a study session and pass the subject one exam at the vehicle management office where the license was issued or where the violation occurred (if you accumulate 12 points twice consecutively in one scoring cycle, you must also pass the subject three exam after upgrading). Only after passing can the points be reset. Otherwise, the driver's license cannot be used normally.

Can the ETC details of the day be queried?

ETC details of the day can be queried. Users can log in to the Speedpass company website with their card number and password to check the consumption records of the past six months. ETC is the abbreviation of Electronic-Toll-Collection, which translates to Electronic Toll Collection System in Chinese. It is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges. More information about ETC is as follows: 1. Working Principle: Through dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses computer networking technology and bank system backend settlement processing to enable vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay the toll. 2. Improved Traffic Capacity: It can significantly increase the traffic capacity at entrances and exits, improving the user experience for vehicle owners and achieving the goal of convenient and quick access to parking lots. It allows drivers to avoid long queues at manual toll windows and directly pass through the less congested ETC dedicated lanes without stopping. One ETC lane's service capacity is equivalent to that of 3 to 5 manual exit lanes. 3. Precautions for Using ETC: The transaction range of ETC is 8 meters, and the toll will be automatically completed when the vehicle enters the transaction zone. When there is a vehicle in front, maintain a distance of 10 meters to prevent automatic sensing and paying the toll for the preceding vehicle.

What does active braking mean?

Active braking refers to a technology where the vehicle can autonomously generate braking effect to decelerate (though vehicles equipped with this function may not necessarily bring the vehicle to a complete stop) when encountering sudden hazardous situations during normal driving without adaptive cruise control, thereby improving driving safety. Active safety systems include electronic devices such as ABS and ESP, while passive safety systems involve vehicle body energy-absorbing structures, seat belts, airbags, etc. Today, the cutting-edge technology of active safety systems has evolved to pre-collision safety systems, with active braking systems being a typical example.
