Toyota Avalon is produced by FAW Toyota. It is a mid-size sedan equipped with two engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, corresponding to hybrid and gasoline versions respectively. The Toyota Avalon has body dimensions of 4975mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2870mm. It features front-wheel drive, MacPherson strut front suspension, E-type multi-link rear suspension, and a unibody structure.

I remember a friend asked me this question when he was buying a Toyota Avalon, and he was torn between which brand to choose. I helped him look it up, and indeed, Toyota has two main joint ventures in China: one is FAW Toyota, which is a partnership with FAW, and the other is GAC Toyota, which is a partnership with GAC. GAC Toyota mainly produces popular models like the Camry and Levin, while the Avalon is actually a model produced under FAW Toyota, not GAC. This is mainly because Toyota positions its higher-end sedans under FAW to cover different market segments. The Avalon is positioned as more upscale than the Camry and is priced higher, but both are quite reliable in terms of quality. If you're looking to buy a new car, I’d suggest visiting a FAW Toyota 4S store first—their service is quite attentive. In short, the distribution networks for these joint-venture cars are pretty clear-cut, so there’s no need to confuse them.

Will the car roll away when in N gear with the handbrake on?

Putting the car in N gear with the handbrake on will not cause it to roll away. Reasons for rolling back on a slope: When an automatic transmission car is on a slope, rolling back is mainly caused by insufficient power. If the slope is not particularly steep, simply pressing the accelerator harder will suffice. Pressing the accelerator harder will give the car more traction, which should be enough for most slopes. If the car starts to roll back, the first thing to do is to step on the brake to stop the rolling, or simply apply more throttle to accelerate forward. Starting on a slope in D gear: For most slopes, an automatic transmission car can start in D gear. If the slope is very steep and the car has a manual mode or S gear, then using the manual mode or S gear will make starting on the slope much smoother.

What Causes Car AC Not Cooling in Summer?

AC not cooling is due to insufficient refrigerant, dirty condenser, or water in the pipelines. Insufficient refrigerant: Refrigerant loss is mainly caused by leakage. If your car's AC underperforms and worsens again after refrigerant recharge, pay attention. A relatively simple method to detect leaks is to check for oil stains on the condenser surface through the grille—this usually indicates condenser leakage. Dirty condenser: In summer, poor AC performance often leads to 4S shops recommending radiator cleaning. Cleaning the radiator and condenser aims to improve heat dissipation. When cottonwood or willow catkins clog the condenser, it causes engine overheating or AC malfunction. During cleaning, always use an air gun first to blow away debris before water washing; otherwise, it may backfire, worsening AC performance and increasing fuel consumption. Water in pipelines: The car AC refrigeration system has a dryer tank to absorb moisture from the refrigerant. When the dryer's desiccant becomes saturated, moisture can no longer be filtered. As refrigerant passes through the expansion valve orifice, pressure and temperature drop, causing water in the refrigerant to freeze in the small hole. This obstructs refrigerant flow, increases resistance, and prevents the AC from cooling.

What is the function of a flap?

Flap is used to protect the inner tube from being worn by the rim or pinched between the rim and the tire bead. Flap: The flap is an annular rubber strip with a certain cross-sectional shape. The inner tube valve passes through the round hole on the flap to protect the inner tube from wear. It is installed between the inner tube and the rim, with the middle part being thicker and the edges gradually thinning from the inside to the outside. There is a center line on the outer surface of the flap, which serves as an alignment line during installation. There is also a hole on the center line for the inner tube valve to pass through. The flap does not require high physical and mechanical properties of the rubber material, but it should have good aging resistance. Types of flaps: According to the cross-section, they can be divided into concave and flat types. The former is more convenient to assemble and easier to position correctly. It is widely used in automobile pneumatic tires.

Where to Scrap a Motorcycle?

Motorcycles should be scrapped at the local vehicle management office. Alternatively, you can send the motorcycle to a specialized motorcycle scrapping facility, which will issue a vehicle scrapping certificate. After obtaining the certificate, you need to deregister the vehicle at the local vehicle management office. There are four mandatory scrapping criteria: 1. The vehicle has reached the prescribed service life. 2. After repair and adjustment, the vehicle still fails to meet the national safety technical standards for in-use motor vehicles. 3. After repair, adjustment, or the adoption of control technologies, the vehicle still fails to meet national standards for pollutant emissions or noise levels for in-use motor vehicles. 4. The vehicle has not obtained an inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period. Vehicle scrapping process: 1. The vehicle owner must fill out and stamp an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping." 2. Apply at the registration counter. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping age, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age but meet the scrapping standards after inspection, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will also be issued. 3. The owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice." 4. The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice." The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. 5. The owner must submit the "Modification Form," "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Inspection Form," "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate," and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed according to regulations.

Can You Wear Slippers in the Passenger Seat?

You can wear slippers in the passenger seat. Reasons for having a passenger seat: A passenger seat is necessary because long-distance travel requires avoiding fatigue driving, which involves human safety, so it is essential to have someone in the passenger seat. The role of the passenger seat: While driving, the driver's attention is mainly focused on the road ahead and vehicle operation. When encountering unfamiliar road conditions, diverting significant attention to check navigation is not only unsafe but can also lead to increased anxiety. At this point, the person in the passenger seat should assist with navigation to reduce the driver's operational burden.
