The auto start-stop function in the Highlander is operated as follows: The start-stop switch is located on the left side of the steering wheel. Press the stop and start cancel button (pressing it again will reactivate the system) to disable the stop and start system, and the dashboard will display corresponding indicators. The Highlander has a length of 4890mm, width of 1925mm, height of 1715mm, and a wheelbase of 2790mm. It is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Highlander is a 5-door, 7-seat SUV with a fuel tank capacity of 72.5L. It features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear E-type multi-link independent suspension.

I drive a Toyota Highlander, and the auto start-stop feature is quite practical. It's usually enabled by default when starting the car. To adjust it, look for the button with the letter 'A' on the center console or near the steering wheel—press it once to toggle the function on or off. The system works simply: when stuck in city traffic, the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel, and it restarts when you press the accelerator or release the brake. Many people initially find the sudden engine silence unsettling, but they get used to it, especially since it saves a lot on fuel costs in urban driving. Safety is factored into the design—for example, the system automatically suppresses start-stop on slopes or during rainy conditions. I usually leave it on while driving, as it improves fuel efficiency by around 5%. Just remember to maintain the battery regularly since the start-stop function relies on it. Overall, it's a foolproof system requiring little skill—just avoid accidentally turning it off during reversing or rapid acceleration.

What are the symptoms of rear tire deformation?

Feel the tire's contact surface with your hand to check if it's flat. Generally, deformed tires will produce louder noise when driving, and in severe cases, the car may shake. Below is relevant knowledge about car tires: Reasons for tire replacement: Tires must be discontinued when worn to the wear limit indicator (i.e., tread depth below 1.6mm); aged tires; tires with deformed treads or damaged beads, tires with sidewall damage caused by driving under-inflated, and tires corroded by chemicals should not continue to be used. Causes of wheel rim deformation: If you continue driving for a long time after a tire blowout, it will definitely damage the wheel rim. Theoretically, visual inspection should suffice—just compare it with other normal rims. If identification is difficult, it's recommended to perform a dynamic balance check at a tire shop. In cases of severe deformation, replacing the wheel rim is advised to avoid potential hazards.

What causes the abnormal noise in the Storm Eye 190?

The abnormal noise in the Storm Eye 190 may be caused by insufficient clearance. Methods to address the abnormal noise in the Storm Eye 190: Prepare the necessary tools, including a large cross-head screwdriver, a 5mm hex wrench, a small flat-head screwdriver, 8mm and 10mm open-end wrenches, two 5 or 6mm screws and nuts (the longer the screws, the better). Use the cross-head screwdriver to open the left-side cover of the bike for easier access. Take out the tensioner with the upper side facing you, rotate the tensioner push rod counterclockwise to extend it—only rotate it half a turn (180 degrees). Then align it with the slot on the lower baffle, and finally reinstall the previously removed spring ring. Note that the slot can only be aligned at 180 or 360 degrees. Disadvantages of the Storm Eye 190: Lack of strong power, dim headlights, and somewhat slippery tires.

Where is the engine number of the Baojun 310 located?

The engine number of the Baojun 310 is located on the engine block near the flywheel. It is generally a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked in the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license displays the engine number, usually located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate records the engine number; The car purchase invoice records the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate records the engine number. Note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production serial number of the engine, where each engine can only have one unique number, and no two engines share the same number.

How to Determine if a Car is Driving in the Middle of the Road?

Methods to determine if a car is driving in the middle of the road are: 1. From the driver's seat, observe that the landing point of the right front outer edge of the car's road curb or obstacle falls 10 to 15 centimeters inward from the lower edge of the front window. If the distance between the right side of the car and the road curb or obstacle is about 0.5 meters, it is safe to pass; 2. Use the driver's own body as a reference: the position of the left leg corresponds to the driving track of the left front wheel, and the position aligned with the right leg is the centerline of the car body; 3. Use the lower edge of the car's front window as a reference: the track of the left wheel aligns with a point 10 to 15 centimeters inward from the left lower edge of the front window, and the track of the right wheel aligns with the center position of the front of the car.

What are the causes of ABS/ESC failure?

ESC/ABS failure refers to malfunctions in the vehicle's Electronic Stability Control system and Anti-lock Braking System. ESC, short for Electronic Stability Control, is an active safety technology that assists drivers in controlling the vehicle. It automatically corrects instability in the vehicle body, helping to prevent accidents. An ESC failure indicates that the vehicle's ESC system is malfunctioning, and the electronic stability control system is not operational. An ESC warning is a relatively complex issue, often caused by software system alerts, though false alarms can also occur. Diagnosis can be complicated, so it is recommended to have the vehicle inspected at a nearby 4S shop. Causes and solutions for ABS Anti-lock Braking System failure: Dirty wheel speed sensor: The wheel speed sensor, also known as the ABS sensor, can send incorrect signals to the ECU if it is dirty, causing the ABS light to illuminate. Use a multimeter to check the resistance of the wheel speed sensor. Brake switch circuit failure: Short circuits or open circuits in the brake switch circuit can prevent the ABS system from receiving correct signals. Inspect the switch and wiring to ensure they are functioning properly. ABS control unit failure: If the control unit is damaged, it should be replaced promptly with a new one.

Where is the tire pressure standard for the Regal located in the car?

The tire pressure standard for the Regal can be found in the following locations: the vehicle's user manual, the label near the driver's side door (near the B-pillar), the drawer next to the driver's seat, and the fuel tank cover. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements, the recommended tire pressures are as follows: standard tires should be inflated to 2.4-2.5 bar; reinforced tires to 2.8-2.9 bar; while the maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. Tire pressure is crucial for tire longevity - both overinflation and underinflation will shorten tire lifespan. Low pressure increases tire deformation, leading to sidewall cracks and excessive flexing that generates heat and accelerates rubber aging. Overinflation causes excessive tension on tire cords, reduces elasticity, increases vehicle load during driving (potentially causing internal cracks or blowouts upon impact), accelerates tread wear, and decreases puncture resistance.
