The method to turn on the high beam on a Vios is: The high beam switch is located on the right-hand lever of the steering wheel. To activate it, rotate the switch two positions and then push it forward. Correct usage of high beams: 1. At night when visibility is poor, slowing down is always more helpful for safety than using high beams; 2. Use high beams as little as possible; 3. When driving on roads with poor lighting conditions, to avoid affecting oncoming traffic, high beams can be used alternately with low beams, and should be switched immediately when there is oncoming traffic. The Vios has a body length, width, and height of 4435mm, 1700mm, and 1490mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2550mm. The car's engine has a maximum power of 81kw and a maximum torque of 138nm.

I've been driving the Vios for several years, and turning on the high beams is actually quite simple. First, rotate the headlight knob to the low beam position, usually by turning the switch at the bottom left of the instrument panel to the second setting. Then, with your left hand, hold the turn signal lever and gently push it all the way forward—this will activate the high beams. The Vios' design is similar to other Toyota models, making the operation smooth. I'm always extra careful when driving; at night on the highway, the high beams provide excellent illumination, but I immediately turn them off when another car approaches or in well-lit areas to avoid blinding other drivers. Turning them off is just as easy—simply pull the turn signal lever back. The key is to develop good habits and avoid overusing high beams. Regularly checking the bulbs and fuses ensures any issues can be addressed promptly. Safety comes first, so I always remind myself not to obstruct others' vision before using the high beams.

What is the lifespan of a dry dual-clutch transmission (DCT)?

The lifespan of a dry dual-clutch transmission (DCT) is typically three to five years. Here are some methods to extend the life of a dual-clutch transmission: Avoid prolonged low-speed driving: During traffic congestion, low-speed following keeps the clutch plates in a semi-engaged state, with frequent shifting between 1st and 2nd gears. This accelerates wear during the break-in period and reduces the transmission's lifespan. Therefore, in low-speed following situations, you can shift to S mode or manually select 1st gear to avoid excessive shifting between 1st and 2nd gears, which causes severe wear and overheating of the transmission. Use the N (Neutral) gear appropriately: When the transmission is in D (Drive) gear and the brake is pressed, it remains in a semi-engaged state, increasing wear on the clutch plates. In stop-and-go traffic, try to move and then stop intermittently rather than continuously holding D gear and braking, avoiding semi-engaged creeping. It is recommended that if the wait time exceeds one minute, shift to N gear and engage the handbrake. Avoid shifting too quickly: The shifting referred to here is not upshifting or downshifting during driving but switching between R (Reverse) and P (Park) gears using the gear lever. Shifting into R gear before the car has completely stopped or immediately shifting into P gear before the car has fully halted during reversing can cause severe gear impact, commonly known as gear grinding. A common issue with dual-clutch transmissions is that the gears are particularly prone to damage from such impacts.

What is the fuel consumption of the Kawasaki 321?

The fuel consumption of the Kawasaki 321 is 3.5 liters. Fuel consumption varies slightly depending on each person's driving habits and skills. A smoother driving habit results in lower fuel consumption, while frequent aggressive driving, overtaking, and other high-RPM operations will appropriately increase this figure. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: Check the air conditioning system in summer: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance forces the system to increase fan speed and lower temperature to achieve a cooling effect. Frequent hard braking: Frequent hard braking is a primary reason for persistently high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. Avoid excessive air conditioning in small-displacement vehicles: For vehicles exposed to the sun,

Can You Continue Driving When the EPS Light Is On?

You should not continue driving when the EPS light is on, as it indicates a fault in the Electric Power Steering system. The function of EPS is to assist the driver in steering by using the power generated by an electric motor, which directly provides steering assistance. This eliminates the need for components such as the hydraulic power steering pump, hoses, hydraulic fluid, drive belt, and engine-mounted pulley, thereby saving energy and protecting the environment. The working principle of EPS is: when the steering wheel is operated, the torque sensor mounted on the steering column continuously measures torque and angle signals. These signals, along with the vehicle speed, are input into the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). After calculation and processing by the ECU, it controls the motor to output the corresponding magnitude and direction of torque. The motor's assist torque is then transmitted through a reducer to increase torque and is applied to the steering system, achieving the vehicle's power steering effect.

How Long Should You Warm Up Your Car in Cold Weather?

In cold weather, warming up your car for 30 seconds to 1 minute is sufficient. The correct method to warm up your car is: 1. Start the vehicle and keep the air conditioning turned off; 2. Let the engine idle for 30 seconds to 1 minute; 3. Begin driving slowly once the engine runs smoothly; 4. Once the engine coolant temperature gauge rises by 1 to 2 bars, you can drive normally and turn on the air conditioning. The reasons for warming up your car are: 1. After prolonged parking, the engine oil flows back to the oil pan at the bottom of the engine; 2. Before reaching operating temperature, the fuel supply system cannot effectively vaporize gasoline completely due to lower temperatures; 3. Gear oil flows to the lower part of the transmission when parked, leaving the upper part of the transmission unlubricated when cold.

What is the correct way to use a car safety hammer?

Correct usage of safety hammer: Take out the safety hammer from the vehicle, then directly strike the four corners of the tempered glass. When slight cracking appears, it indicates that the internal stress distribution of the glass has been significantly compromised, leading to the immediate formation of numerous spider-web cracks. At this point, just a few more strikes will shatter the glass. If the glass has a film, you need to forcefully kick it open, as the film has anti-shatter properties and won't detach without sufficient external force. Car safety hammer, also known as a multifunctional safety hammer, is a tool installed in vehicles for breaking car windows to escape during emergencies or disasters. There are numerous brands of car safety hammers, with varying functions and styles. The hammer body can be made of plastic, wood, or steel, while the hammer head is always metal. Car safety hammers should only be used in emergencies, and safety precautions must be observed. When taking long-distance buses, it's advisable to sit near the safety hammer, safety door, or roof emergency exit. It's also good to review the instructions for opening the safety door beforehand. Private cars can also be equipped with safety hammers if necessary. If a private car has a safety hammer, it should be placed within easy reach. In case of emergencies, the driver should aim for the center position, about two-thirds up from the bottom on either side, to ensure a quick escape.
