It is best to replace all four tires with winter tires. Material of winter tires: The main tread of winter tires uses some special formulations to generate greater friction, significantly improving the vehicle's handling and safety on slippery ice surfaces. Under low-temperature conditions, winter tires will still maintain a softer texture, while regular tires will harden as the temperature drops. Key technologies of winter tires: The formulation of the tire surface material and the tread pattern technology of winter tires are different from those of regular tires. Winter tires increase friction with snow and ice surfaces through special formulations. Winter tires have deep tread grooves, but they only exhibit optimal adhesion at low temperatures. The situation on snow is different from that on dry roads because, on snowy surfaces, the tire treads interlock with the snow, and traction mainly relies on the tire treads inserting into the snow and ice surfaces to gain power.

How to Operate the Highlander Automatic Transmission?

Press the brake pedal, shift the gear lever down to D (Drive), then push the lever to the right to enter manual mode. At this point, you can use the paddle shifters to manually shift gears. The '+' paddle represents upshifting, while the '-' paddle represents downshifting. When going uphill, use D- to downshift for greater torque and more powerful output. If the power is insufficient, you can switch to S (Sport) mode. When going downhill, shift up to D2 or D3 using D+ to utilize engine braking for better control.

What is the replacement interval for full synthetic engine oil?

Full synthetic engine oil should be replaced approximately every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. Full synthetic oil demonstrates excellent performance with strong oxidation resistance, allowing for a longer service interval. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To reduce friction and high temperatures; 2. To minimize gas leakage and prevent contamination from external pollutants; 3. To protect components from contact with water, air, and harmful acidic gases; 4. To cushion the pressure rise in engine cylinder ports; 5. To flush away contaminants generated on component surfaces. The steps for changing engine oil are: 1. Lift the vehicle, remove the underbody shield, and place a container with approximately 10-liter capacity beneath the drain plug; 2. Loosen the drain plug, use an air gun to blow into the oil filler port for two minutes, then tighten the drain plug after complete drainage and wipe it with a paper towel to check for leaks; 3. Reinstall the underbody shield and lower the vehicle, then use a funnel to add new oil through the filler port.

How to Turn Off the Horn Sound When Locking the Jiangling Yuhu 7?

Press and hold the light combination switch button until the menu appears, then navigate to the security settings and select the sound prompt settings to configure the audible and visual signals for locking and unlocking. There is a button on the car key remote with a speaker symbol crossed out. Pressing this button will enable silent locking, meaning no alarm sound will be heard after locking the car. You can also visit a 4S shop and ask a technician to connect to the vehicle's computer system to disable the locking sound. This method is more professional. With the vehicle's power on, simultaneously press and hold the lock and unlock buttons for 3 seconds to achieve the effect of turning off the locking sound.
