Using a three-way cleaner is beneficial for the vehicle and causes no harm. Three-Way Cleaner: The three-way catalytic cleaner is a transparent liquid designed to clean the surface complexes of a vehicle's three-way catalytic converter. It effectively removes sulfur, phosphorus, and other chemicals from the surface of the three-way catalytic converter, unclogs exhaust pipe blockages, restores the activity of the three-way catalytic converter, and extends its service life. Cleaning Precautions: Before cleaning, check whether the three-way catalytic converter has mechanical damage, thermal sintering, has exceeded 200,000 kilometers, or suffers from lead poisoning. If any of these conditions exist, cleaning will be ineffective; check whether the air-fuel mixture concentration is appropriate; before cleaning the three-way catalytic converter, clean the throttle valve, fuel injector, and combustion chamber; during the cleaning process, do not let the engine stall; idle speed should not be too high to avoid overheating the three-way catalytic converter.

What to Do If the Mortgaged Vehicle Is Taken Away by the Owner?

You can report to the police or file a lawsuit to protect your legal rights. The creditor has the right to transfer the debt, and the affiliated vehicle and its usage rights can be legally transferred together. Therefore, purchasing a legally mortgaged vehicle is protected by law. The owner does not have ownership of the vehicle. Taking the vehicle away without authorization may violate the Contract Law and Property Law. In such cases, you can file a lawsuit in court. If the vehicle was obtained through legally protected means and purchased at a corresponding price, the creditor is already the rightful owner, and the original owner has no grounds to reclaim the vehicle.

What to Do When the 2021 Highlander Doesn't Respond to USB Drive?

Often, a USB drive or SD card that works on a computer may not function in a car's system due to issues with the vehicle's USB port. For drives larger than 2GB, the FAT32 format is commonly used. Check if the USB drive's format matches the car system's requirements. Sometimes, the issue lies with the media files themselves. Avoid using encrypted USB drives, place songs directly in the root directory without subfolders. Large files may be difficult to read, so it's best to use USB drives with good compatibility.
