Land Cruiser and Prado are not the same car, but the Prado can be considered a derivative model of the Land Cruiser. Below are the differences between the Land Cruiser and Prado: 1. The Land Cruiser is Toyota's LAND-CRUISER-200, also known as the Land Cruiser, an imported ORV off-road vehicle produced by Toyota; while the Prado is an improved version of the Land Cruiser 70 and 90 series, officially discontinued in 2020. 2. The new Land Cruiser is equipped with a 4.6L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 234 kW and a maximum torque of 460 Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission; the Prado is equipped with Toyota's six-cylinder fuel-injected 1GR-FEV6 engine, with a maximum power of 179 kW and a maximum torque of 376 Nm.

What is the fuel consumption of the LaCrosse?

Buick LaCrosse 625T official fuel consumption data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: combined fuel consumption is 6.9L/100km. Below are the relevant details: 1. Reference data: Fuel consumption data is generally provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The official fuel consumption data is usually much lower than the actual situation. The Ministry's method of calculating fuel consumption is not based on real-world road tests, so this parameter can only be used as a reference. 2. Actual measured fuel consumption of the Buick LaCrosse: According to actual measurements, the average fuel consumption of the LaCrosse 2.0T engine model is 10L/100KM, with a range of 8.33L-11.65L. This fuel consumption performance can be considered excellent. Additionally, with the support of the variable cylinder turbocharged engine, the engine can automatically switch between two-cylinder and four-cylinder modes, achieving good fuel economy. 3. Factors affecting fuel consumption: If the driver usually prefers high-rev driving habits, it will inevitably lead to increased fuel consumption. It is difficult to determine an exact fuel consumption value, as long as it falls within the normal range, it is acceptable. There are many factors that affect a vehicle's fuel consumption performance, such as vehicle weight, tires, aerodynamic drag, load, etc.

What does Internet car mean?

Internet car, also known as vehicle networking, is a huge interactive network composed of information such as vehicle position, speed and route. It can be regarded as the product of the combination of Internet of Things, intelligent transportation, vehicle information service, cloud computing and automotive electronic technology. Nowadays, well-known technologies such as unmanned driving, human-computer interaction and intelligent voice recognition are all manifestations of vehicle networking. Functions of vehicle networking: 1. ECU electronic control unit and OBD on-board automatic diagnosis system; 2. Vehicle-machine interconnection; 3. Unmanned driving. Benefits of vehicle networking: 1. It can make driving smoother and more convenient; 2. It can make car owners drive more safely; 3. Low-carbon travel is more environmentally friendly.

How to Set the Horn Sound When Locking a BMW?

BMW does not support setting a horn sound when locking the car. The locking process only produces a locking sound without any horn. If you insist on enabling this feature, the only solution is to reprogram the ECU (Engine Control Unit). However, this method requires professional assistance for operation. BMW is a German automotive brand under the BMW Group, offering four model categories: i, X, Z, and pure numeric series (e.g., 1, 2, 3), along with the performance-oriented M series based on these models. The BMW 6 Series GT is a mid-to-large-sized car under the BMW lineup. It features standard LED lighting across all trims, with sleek body lines that complement its fastback design—blending elegance with sportiness. The front bumper design further enhances its aggressive appearance.

What does A-OFF mean in a car?

This is the off button for the auto start-stop system, where 'OFF' means to turn off. Cars equipped with an auto start-stop function have an off button, and pressing it will deactivate the auto start-stop. The off button for the auto start-stop is a circle with an 'A' inside and 'OFF' below the circle, indicating the deactivation of the auto start-stop. Cars with the auto start-stop function will shut off the engine when stopped at a red light, provided the battery charge is sufficient and the engine coolant has reached normal operating temperature. If the battery charge is insufficient, the auto start-stop system will not function, and the system's indicator light on the dashboard will flash yellow. When the auto start-stop system is operational, the indicator light will flash green. The A-OFF light being on indicates that the vehicle's engine auto start-stop function is active. This function effectively protects the engine from damage, reduces fuel consumption, and is highly practical. The A-OFF button is primarily used when the car is moving at low speeds or repeatedly stopping, helping to automatically shut off the engine, reduce idle time, and consequently decrease engine carbon buildup. For the auto start-stop function to work, certain conditions must be met: the engine coolant temperature must reach at least 85 degrees Celsius, and the engine oil must also reach operating temperature. After starting the car, the auto start-stop function enters its active mode. For example, when approaching a traffic light, stopping and pressing the brake for 1 to 2 seconds will automatically shut off the engine. To restart when the light turns green, lightly pressing the accelerator or turning the steering wheel will restart the engine. In some manual transmission cars, the computer determines the need to shut off the engine based on actions like pressing the clutch, shifting to neutral, or pulling the handbrake. The engine will restart when the clutch is pressed again. However, in congested traffic when moving slowly, parking in reverse, or on steep slopes, it may be preferable to turn off this function. When driving through water, it is essential to remember to turn off this function to prevent water from entering the exhaust pipe and subsequently the engine, which could prevent the engine from starting. Precautions for auto start-stop: Avoid using the start-stop system on slopes; turn off the system during irregular stop-and-go traffic; do not activate the system when the air conditioning is on; disable the system during low-speed parking; do not refuel when the start-stop system has shut off the engine; it is recommended to turn off the system when the fuel light is on; and always deactivate the system when driving through water.

How to Identify Tire Size?

Tire size identification method: You can check the data on the sidewall of the tire. Tire size is a fundamental parameter when purchasing tires, and it is recommended to directly choose replacement tires with the same size data as the original factory specifications. Original factory sizes are models that have been designed and verified by the manufacturer to match the vehicle's powertrain. Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers, where the first number indicates the tire section width, and the latter denotes the rim diameter, measured in inches. Taking 165/70R14 as an example, it represents a radial tire with a tread width of 165 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 70, and a rim diameter of 14 inches. Some tires may also include other letters or symbols with special meanings: "X" denotes high-pressure tires; "C" indicates reinforced tires; "B" stands for bias-ply tires; and "-" represents low-pressure tires.

Where is the thermostat installed?

The thermostat is installed at the connection point between the lower radiator hose and the engine block, where there is a circular cover with two screws on top. Removing this cover will reveal the thermostat. The thermostat is a valve that controls the flow path of the coolant. It is an automatic temperature-regulating device, typically containing a temperature-sensing component that opens or closes the flow of air, gas, or liquid through expansion or contraction. The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the temperature of the coolant, altering the circulation range to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity, ensuring the engine operates within an appropriate temperature range. The thermostat must maintain good technical condition; otherwise, it can severely affect the engine's normal operation.
