The method to turn on the heater in the URV is: Press the AUTO button on the air conditioning system and set the temperature to the desired level. Taking the 2020 URV as an example, it belongs to the midsize SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4856mm, width 1942mm, height 1670mm, wheelbase 2820mm, fuel tank capacity 57L, and curb weight 1745kg. The 2020 URV is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 193PS, maximum power of 142kW, maximum torque of 243Nm, paired with a continuously variable transmission.

Turning on the UR-V's heating system is quite simple. First, start the engine and wait a few minutes for the coolant temperature to rise. Then locate the climate control panel on the center console. There's a large temperature adjustment knob - just turn it clockwise to the red (high temperature) zone. For automatic operation, press the AUTO button to let the system automatically adjust fan speed and temperature to reach your desired setting. Pro tip: directing airflow to both windshield and footwell vents provides better warmth, while also helping defog windows during rain/snow for improved visibility. Remember to regularly check your cabin air filter - a clogged filter can cause unpleasant odors and affect air quality. In cold weather, I recommend letting the engine warm up before turning on full blast heating, as sudden strong hot airflow might cause discomfort.

When the engine reaches normal operating temperature, residual heat from the coolant is carried into the cabin by the fan to create warm air. On the UR-V: Turn the temperature knob to the high temperature mark. If equipped with automatic air conditioning, press the AUTO button to activate the warm air mode with one touch. Sensors will automatically adjust the airflow based on changes in cabin temperature and humidity. Using the recirculation button can accelerate initial warming and save fuel consumption, but remember to switch to fresh air mode periodically to maintain air freshness. Warm air not only provides comfort but also prevents windshield fogging, enhancing driving safety.

Feeling cold as soon as you get in the car? After starting the UR-V, adjust the temperature to around 28°C and use the low fan speed to warm up gradually. The heating button is prominently located on the center console, with a red arrow pointing to the heat direction—use it to quickly defog and ensure clear visibility. Driving safety is crucial on rainy or snowy days; turning on the heating warms the foot area of the driver's seat, keeping you more alert during long drives. Don’t forget to close the windows and use the recirculation mode to improve heating efficiency, making your journey more comfortable and worry-free.

Why does the car heater suddenly stop blowing hot air?

During repairs, it is necessary to first determine the cause before proceeding with the corresponding repairs. The reasons for the car heater not blowing hot air are as follows: Thermostat stuck open or opening too early: This causes the cooling system to enter the major circulation prematurely. When the external temperature is very low, especially when the car is moving, the cold air quickly cools the antifreeze, preventing the engine water temperature from rising, and the heater will not blow hot air. Water pump impeller damage or slippage: This results in insufficient flow through the heater core, preventing the heat from rising. Air lock in the engine cooling system: An air lock causes poor circulation in the cooling system, leading to high water temperature and the heater not blowing hot air. If there is always air in the cooling system, it is likely due to a damaged cylinder head gasket allowing air into the cooling system. If the inlet pipe of the heater core is very hot while the outlet pipe is relatively cold, this indicates a blockage in the heater core, and the heater core should be replaced.

What is the reason for increased fuel consumption after replacing the camshaft sensor?

Replacing the camshaft sensor may lead to increased fuel consumption due to potential changes in the ignition timing. Camshaft Sensor: The camshaft position sensor is a sensing device, also known as a synchronization signal sensor. It serves as a cylinder identification and positioning device, providing the ECU with camshaft position signals, which are the primary control signals for ignition. The function of the camshaft position sensor is to collect the position signals of the camshaft and input them into the ECU, enabling the ECU to identify the top dead center of cylinder compression. This allows for sequential fuel injection control, ignition timing control, and knock control. Ignition Advance Angle: The angle through which the crankshaft turns from the start of ignition until the piston reaches the top dead center.

What Causes the Average Fuel Consumption to Keep Fluctuating?

Average fuel consumption may fluctuate due to significant changes in external air temperature or unstable vehicle coolant temperature. Factors affecting average fuel consumption: Malfunctions in the car's ignition system or incomplete fuel combustion can both impact the vehicle's average fuel consumption. If the air-fuel ratio is inappropriate, meaning the intake air volume or fuel injection amount is unstable, the average fuel consumption will fluctuate. In such cases, it is necessary to promptly clean carbon deposits and perform regular maintenance. Methods to reduce average fuel consumption: Drive smoothly, avoiding sudden braking and acceleration. Perform regular vehicle maintenance and reduce onboard weight. Continuously monitor the tire pressure to keep it within the normal range.

What is the principle of paintless dent repair?

Automotive paintless dent repair preserves the original car paint surface. Skilled and experienced professional technicians use external suction and internal pushing techniques along with metal panel polishing. Principles of paintless dent repair: Utilizing principles of mechanics, thermodynamics, and optics to repair dents, effectively avoiding traditional metal panel polishing and painting processes. Challenges of paintless dent repair: The main difficulty lies in the metal panel leveling technology and maintaining the original panel thickness without thinning. This technique achieves more refined results than traditional metal panel leveling, eliminating the need for putty application and allowing direct painting.

What is AWD?

AWD on a vehicle refers to full-time four-wheel drive, where the engine distributes power evenly to all four wheels through the drivetrain. Below is a detailed introduction to the four-wheel drive system modes: H4F Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive: H4F is the default four-wheel drive mode for the Prado, used during everyday city driving. H4L High-Speed Four-Wheel Drive: In high-speed four-wheel drive mode, both the front and rear differentials are locked, causing all four wheels to rotate at the same speed. This prevents situations where lifted wheels spin rapidly while stuck wheels remain stationary. When in H4L mode, it is best not to exceed a speed of 80 km/h. L4L Low-Speed Four-Wheel Drive: Low-speed four-wheel drive is typically used in slippery conditions such as mud or swamps. It reduces speed through a gear mechanism to increase torque. The Prado's low-speed four-wheel drive can amplify the torque by 2.6 times compared to high-speed four-wheel drive, providing greater power to escape difficult situations, though the vehicle speed will be slower.

Can Vehicle Purchase Tax Be Paid on Saturdays and Sundays?

Generally, vehicle purchase tax cannot be paid on weekends in most locations; it is usually only payable during normal working days from Monday to Friday. (There may be a few exceptions where vehicle purchase tax can be paid on weekends). Vehicle Purchase Tax Rate: The tax rate is 10%. Typically, it is calculated based on the vehicle purchase invoice price (or the minimum taxable price determined by the State Taxation Administration), after deducting the value-added tax, and then applying the 10% tax rate. Passenger Vehicles Eligible for Tax Reduction: These refer to vehicles designed and technically intended mainly for transporting passengers and their personal belongings and/or temporary items, with no more than nine seats including the driver's seat, as well as new energy vehicles.
