Toyota Vios high beam activation method: The high beam switch is located on the lever to the right of the steering wheel. Rotate the switch to the second position and push it forward to turn on the high beam. The high beam adjusts the intensity of the light based on the distance of the filament. The high beam focuses its light, emitting parallel rays that are more concentrated and brighter, capable of illuminating distant and high objects. The Toyota Vios has dimensions of 4300mm in length, 1690mm in width, and 1490mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2550mm, and features front-wheel drive. In terms of suspension, the front suspension uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension.

I've been driving this car for several years, and turning on the high beams of the Toyota Vios is quite simple: First, make sure the headlight switch is on, usually turned to the ON or AUTO position; then look at the control lever on the left side of the steering wheel, gently push it forward, and the high beams will light up. If you just want to flash them, pull the lever backward. Remember not to use high beams in the city to avoid dazzling others; it's safer to use them on highways or in dark areas. If they don't light up, check if the bulb is burnt out or if the fuse is blown. It's best to test them when starting the car to avoid issues at night. I always make it a habit to check before long trips to ensure clear visibility and safe driving—don’t underestimate this detail, as developing good habits can prevent big troubles.

When I first got my driver's license and learned to use the high beams, the instructor demonstrated in a Toyota Vios: After starting the car, turn the headlight switch to the 'on' position; then, there's a lever on the left side of the steering wheel—push it forward and you'll see the light beam extend further ahead. Pulling it back activates the flash, which I often use to alert the security guard when entering the neighborhood. Trying the high beams on the highway at night made the road signs appear crystal clear, but avoid using them recklessly in heavy traffic to prevent getting honked at. Learning these little tricks is great; all beginners should start practicing with this step first. Remember the switch positions and don't mix up the directions. Once you get the hang of it, your confidence doubles—safety always comes first, above all else.

Can Gasoline Cars Use Diesel Engine Oil?

Gasoline cars cannot use diesel engine oil. Engine lubricating oils are categorized into gasoline engine oil and diesel engine oil. Although both gasoline and diesel engines operate under high temperature, high pressure, high speed, and high load conditions, there are significant differences between them. Diesel engines have a much higher compression ratio—more than twice that of gasoline engines—and their main components endure much greater high temperature, high pressure, and impact than gasoline engines, leading to differences in the materials used for some parts. Diesel engine oil formulations include additional anti-corrosion additives to form a protective film on bearing surfaces, reducing corrosion and enhancing wear resistance. Gasoline engine oil does not require such high anti-corrosion properties. If used in a diesel engine, the bearings may develop spots, pitting, or even flaking, and the oil will quickly become dirty, potentially leading to bearing seizure and shaft damage.

Where is the car brake located?

Car brake position: For manual transmission cars, the leftmost pedal is the clutch pedal, the second pedal is the brake pedal, and the third pedal is the accelerator pedal; For automatic transmission cars, there is no clutch pedal. The left pedal of an automatic transmission car is the brake pedal, and the right pedal is the accelerator pedal. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the braking system will work, and the car can decelerate. The car's braking system mainly consists of a vacuum booster pump, master brake cylinder, wheel brake cylinder, brake pads, and brake discs. After the driver presses the brake pedal, the vacuum booster pump can provide assistance, which helps the driver to press the brake pedal easily.

What is the 0-100km/h acceleration time for the 2021 Teana 2.0L?

Teana 2.0L model achieves a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 5.9 seconds. The Teana is a mid-size sedan under Dongfeng Nissan, with body dimensions of 4901*1850*1450mm, a wheelbase of 2825mm, a fuel tank capacity of 61.3L, a trunk capacity of 586L, and a curb weight ranging from 1456kg to 1511kg. The 2021 Teana 2.0L model is equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission and a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum torque of 197Nm and a maximum power of 115kW. It requires 95-octane gasoline and comes with 205/65R16 tires. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100km/h acceleration time include: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, indicates how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is applied to propel the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. For example, the Audi R8 has a maximum torque of 570Nm and accelerates from 0-100km/h in 3.1 seconds, while the BMW 6 Series GT has a maximum torque of 400Nm and achieves 0-100km/h in 6.5 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a medium for power transfer, inevitably involving power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is referred to as the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. For instance, the Audi R8 has a power-to-weight ratio of 373Hp/T, while the BMW 5 Series has a ratio of 108Hp/T.

How many kilometers should a car drive before changing the engine oil?

There is no fixed mileage for changing the engine oil in a car. Generally, conventional engine oil should be changed after about 5,000 kilometers; semi-synthetic oil should be changed after about 7,500 kilometers; and full-synthetic oil should be changed after about 10,000 kilometers. The frequency of oil changes depends on factors such as the usual driving environment, personal driving habits, and time intervals. If you frequently encounter traffic jams, drive in areas with a lot of dust, or in extreme temperatures (either hot or cold), the oil should be changed earlier. For vehicles that often drive on highways with minimal traffic congestion, the oil change interval can be extended. Engine oil plays a crucial role in lubricating and reducing friction, aiding in cooling, sealing to prevent leaks, preventing rust and corrosion, and cushioning shocks in the engine.

What does the 'w' in motor oil specifications mean?

The 'w' in motor oil specifications stands for 'winter', indicating that the oil can be used normally during winter if it contains 'w' in its specification. Motor oil, also known as engine lubricating oil, serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. Motor oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting certain new properties, making them an important component of lubricating oil.

How long after painting a car can it be washed?

You can wash your car immediately after painting if it was done in a professional paint booth. In the paint booth, the car typically stays for 3 to 4 hours, so once it's driven out, it's ready to be washed. Additionally, reputable shops follow proper painting procedures, so washing the car won't affect the paint job. The car's paint coating, serving as its outer layer, is usually applied directly to the surface or over a primer. Its functions include: 1. Preventing oxidation and corrosion of the metal surface, such as from industrial gases, sulfur dioxide, and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, while enhancing adhesion between the metal surface and the primer or intermediate and top coats; 2. Forming a durable, continuous film firmly attached to the car, which prevents or delays chemical or electrochemical reactions between the surface and surrounding mediums, thereby protecting the car's surface from damage.
