For normal road conditions, use 2H; for complex road conditions such as rainy days, snowy days, or muddy roads, use 4H; for even more challenging road conditions, use 4L. The Prado is a mid-to-large SUV under FAW Toyota, with dimensions of 4840 mm in length, 1885 mm in width, and 1890 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2790 mm.

Will leaving a small gap in the window be affected by rain?

If it rains heavily, water may accumulate under the floor on the passenger side. Specific details are as follows: 1. Water accumulation inside the car: It is recommended to check before driving. If there is already water accumulation, use a dry towel to absorb and drain the water. Prolonged water accumulation can cause rust and corrosion on the chassis steel plate. 2. Handling water ingress in the car: If only rain has entered the car, the impact is minimal. Simply open the windows fully on a sunny day to air it out. If water enters the cabin, the repair process mainly involves removing the accumulated water. There are several rubber seals at the bottom of the vehicle chassis. Opening these seals can drain the water from the cabin. However, since the interior floor mats are highly absorbent, they should be removed and placed in a spacious area to facilitate evaporation of the moisture.

What causes the car to shake when accelerating from 60 to 80 mph?

The reasons for the car shaking when accelerating from 60 to 80 mph are as follows: 1. Causes of acceleration shaking: Check if the drive shaft (i.e., half shaft) is loose. You can also perform a test drive to check. The method is to release the throttle and shift to neutral at 80 mph. If it doesn't shake, it's a half shaft issue. If it still shakes, perform a four-wheel dynamic balance check to see if there is water inside the tires. 2. Front body shaking: When the car accelerates from 60 to 80 mph, the front body shakes. It doesn't shake when not pressing the throttle or at other speeds. This is caused by excessive clearance in the front suspension ball joint or connecting components, which creates shaking at a certain frequency. It is necessary to adjust the front toe and front wheel alignment at a repair shop.

How much overloading results in 12 penalty points?

Truck overloading by 100% results in 6 penalty points. If the truck's cargo exceeds the approved load capacity by less than 30%, it results in 3 penalty points; if it exceeds by more than 30%, it results in 6 penalty points. Therefore, there is no situation where overloading results in 12 penalty points. Additional information: 1. Violations resulting in 12 penalty points: driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type; driving under the influence of alcohol; fleeing the scene of a traffic accident without constituting a crime; using forged or altered vehicle license plates, vehicle registration certificates, driving licenses, or using license plates or certificates from other vehicles. 2.

Why does the car suddenly lose power?

There are two main reasons for a sudden loss of power in a car: fuel supply system failure and intake system failure. If you notice a lack of power, you should perform an engine fault diagnosis and check for any trouble codes. If present, follow the trouble code instructions for repairs. Below is a detailed analysis of the potential causes: Fuel Supply System Failure: Insufficient fuel entering the combustion chamber can lead to power loss. Possible causes include clogged fuel injectors, fuel line leaks, a blocked fuel filter, or an aging fuel pump. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for a fuel system inspection. If issues with the injectors, fuel lines, or fuel pump are found, address them promptly. Intake System Failure: For the engine to operate properly, it requires both fuel and air. Without sufficient air, the engine cannot run smoothly. Causes of power loss include a dirty or clogged air filter or throttle system, malfunctioning intake temperature or pressure sensors, or a faulty air flow meter. Solution: Inspect the air filter and throttle system. If blockages are found, clean them immediately.

Why does the car alarm go off for no reason?

There are several reasons why a car alarm might sound without any apparent cause: 1. Controller malfunction: The issue could be with the alarm controller itself or a faulty trigger sensor causing the alarm to sound randomly. 2. Trigger sensitivity: If the trigger sensitivity is set too high, the alarm may go off intermittently but will pause between activations. 3. Grounded trigger wire: This can occur if door edge switches, hood switches, or trunk switches are engaged, or if a door isn't properly closed. A grounded trigger wire creates a short circuit, causing the alarm to sound continuously until the battery is drained.

What to Do When the Battery Light Turns Red on the Dashboard?

When the battery light turns red on the dashboard, it indicates a warning for the generator not charging. The light should turn on when the key is inserted and turn off after the engine starts. If the light remains on while the engine is running, it means the generator is not charging, and immediate repair is required. Additional information: 1. Generator: A generator is a mechanical device that converts other forms of energy into electrical energy. There are various types, but all operate based on the principles of electromagnetic induction and electromagnetic force. 2. Precautions for generator usage: Regularly clean dust and dirt from the generator's surface to maintain cleanliness and ensure proper ventilation. Frequently check the tightness of all fasteners related to the generator and tighten any loose screws promptly. The tension of the drive belt should be appropriate—too loose may cause slipping and insufficient power generation, while too tight may damage the belt and generator bearings.
