It is domestically produced. The FAW Toyota Corolla 1.2T model was officially launched in October 2016, and this engine is also the first small-displacement engine produced domestically by FAW Toyota. The specific details about the Corolla are as follows: Interior: The interior features a minimalist overall style, with a conventional dashboard design, spacious and comfortable seats, effective air conditioning, and good craftsmanship. However, some users have reported an odor inside the car. Recently, there have been numerous complaints about universal joint failures and in-car CD player issues, including unresponsive buttons, black screens, automatic disc ejection, and garbled text. Some users have also questioned potential design flaws in the steering gear. Handling: The overall driving experience is comfortable and stable. Users have noted that "it drives very smoothly and feels even more stable at 120 km/h on highways." However, the steering accuracy is low, and there is a noticeable sense of hesitation. Some users have reported issues with the car pulling to one side. The noise level is low, especially when idling, making it very quiet. The suspension is tuned to be soft, effectively absorbing road bumps for better comfort, but the brakes are somewhat soft. Due to the impact of Toyota's global recall, the 2011 Corolla comes standard with a brake override system, which has improved braking performance. Performance: The overall performance is good, with quick acceleration, though the initial pickup is sluggish. The engine noise is minimal, with users stating that "the sound is very quiet, and the interior noise is very low." The new dual VVT-i engine pairs perfectly with the CVT transmission, and the 2.0L engine offers ample power. The six-speed manual transmission is precise with clear gear engagement, but the four-speed transmission is relatively outdated.

What happens if you suddenly shift into P gear while driving an automatic transmission car?

Shifting into P gear suddenly while driving an automatic transmission car can damage the locking mechanism inside the transmission and may also harm the gear shift switch. Before shifting into P gear from any other gear, the vehicle must come to a complete stop. P gear is a common position in automatic transmission vehicles, usually located at the front of the gear shift console, ahead of the R gear. Its purpose is to lock the axle when the car is stationary on a slope. P gear evolved from the N gear position; in addition to placing the transmission in neutral mode, it also features a pawl inside the transmission that engages with a gear on the output shaft to create a mechanical lock. This locks the drive axle, effectively securing the vehicle in a stationary or slightly moving position.

How Many Gears Does a Manual Transmission Have?

A manual transmission typically has five gears, namely 1st gear, 2nd gear, 3rd gear, 4th gear, and 5th gear. In rare cases, there may be seven gears, which includes an additional reverse gear and a neutral gear. The gear selection in a manual transmission should match the speed: 1. Start with 1st gear, and shift to 2nd gear when the speed reaches 15 km/h; 2. Shift to 3rd gear when the speed reaches 25 km/h; 3. Shift to 4th gear when the speed reaches 35 km/h; 4. Shift to 5th gear when the speed reaches 45 km/h. The principle for downshifting while decelerating is: first reduce speed, then downshift, and it is possible to skip gears.

What is the installation direction of the car air filter?

Installation direction of the car air filter: There will be a small arrow on the side of the filter, and the direction of the arrow indicates the direction of airflow. During installation, the top is usually the air inlet, and the bottom is the air outlet. The method for installing the air filter is as follows: 1. Open the engine hood and locate the air filter box. If it is secured with screws, use a screwdriver to open it. 2. Remove the old filter from the box. To prevent dust and other debris from falling in, use a clean towel to block the air intake pipe. 3. Replace it with a new air filter, fasten the clips or use a screwdriver to tighten the air filter box cover, and then close the engine hood. The air filter is responsible for filtering the air, removing dust and sand particles, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinder.

Why is the dashboard handbrake light flashing?

The reasons for the flashing handbrake light on the dashboard include: 1. Poor contact of the handbrake indicator light on the dashboard; 2. Poor contact of the handbrake switch when the handbrake is engaged; 3. Poor contact of the handbrake light's power wire or a broken wire harness. You can perform the following simple self-checks: 1. First, remove the handbrake protective cover, locate the handbrake switch, and inspect it; 2. Use a multimeter to test the voltage of the red wire, and you can unplug the handbrake switch's wire connector at this time; 3. If the light on the dashboard continues to flash, this indicates an issue with the dashboard itself; 4. If the light turns off after unplugging, it means the problem was caused by poor contact of the switch.

What to Do If the Rear Window Defroster Grid is Broken?

If the rear window defroster grid is broken, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced. The function of the heating wires on the rear window is: during rainy, snowy, or foggy weather, when the defrost and defog control switch is turned on, the resistance wires heat up upon receiving electricity, raising the temperature of the glass. The frost or fog attached to the glass melts from the heat, turning into water droplets that flow down or evaporate as mist, thereby achieving the effect of removing frost and fog. This allows the driver to clearly discern the traffic conditions behind and perform safe operations such as reversing. The defrosting and defogging of the front windshield are controlled by another switch. If the rear window defroster switch is frequently turned on, the heating wires on the front windshield are also working. However, if there is no freezing or even frost in the front windshield wiper area at this time, it can be commonly understood that this part of the glass is being dry-heated. Over time, the glass in this area will inevitably become abnormally fragile, and cracks may appear with slight external force.

How to Remove Car Scratches?

Methods to remove car scratches: 1. If the scratch damages the primer or causes deformation, the corresponding area of the paint must be sanded off, followed by panel beating and repainting with multiple layers of paint. 2. For minor scratches on the body, waxing can fully restore the surface. 3. If the scratch affects the topcoat but not the primer, waxing can also repair it. 4. For deep but narrow scratches, colored putty can be used for effective repair. Avoid enlarging the scratched area unnecessarily. It's crucial to clean off any dirt thoroughly, apply the putty carefully to ensure it fills the scratch completely, and finish by applying a compound and wax.
