The Corolla door drain plug should be removed to prevent the door from rusting. Here is the relevant information: Drain Plug: The drain plug, also known as a drain stopper, features a rotatable conical plug with holes inserted into the central bore of the valve body. When the holes in the plug align with the valve body's inlet and outlet, fluid can pass through. Rotating the plug 90 degrees blocks the holes completely, preventing fluid flow. This mechanism allows it to function both as an on-off switch and a flow regulator. Advantages: Simple structure, quick operation, minimal resistance to fluid flow when fully open, and suitability for fluids containing solid particles.

What are the new driving license test regulations?

2021 new driving test regulations are as follows: 1. Test subject adjustment: For small automatic transmission vehicles, the "slope fixed-point parking and starting" item in Subject 2 test is canceled, reducing the test content from the original 5 items to 4 items. This change aims to better align with actual driving requirements and reduce the test burden for candidates. 2. Test scheduling adjustment: For obtaining a small automatic transmission vehicle driving license, the interval between Subject 1 pass and Subject 3 test scheduling is shortened from 30 days to 20 days; For those upgrading to medium/large passenger or truck licenses, this interval is shortened from 40 days to 30 days. 3. Cross-region subject test adjustment: For small vehicle license applicants, the number of permitted test location changes is increased from 1 time to no more than 3 times, meeting the demand for cross-region testing.

What Causes an Automatic Transmission Car to Suddenly Stall While Driving?

Automatic transmission cars suddenly stalling while driving is caused by poor engine performance. Here are specific details about poor engine performance: 1. Response: In case of encountering this situation, the owner should first stay calm and quickly observe the surrounding traffic conditions. If the traffic conditions and circumstances permit, one can attempt to restart the engine without stopping the car. Since automatic transmission cars are equipped with a neutral safety switch, the vehicle can only be started in P (Park) or N (Neutral) gear. At this point, the vehicle is still coasting by inertia, so it is crucial not to shift the gear lever directly into P gear, but one can first shift into N gear. 2. Risk: Restarting an automatic transmission vehicle after stalling mid-drive carries certain risks. It requires the owner to be quite familiar with the vehicle's operations. If excessive force is accidentally applied and the gear lever is pushed directly into R (Reverse) gear, it can cause significant damage to the transmission.

How Many Kilometers Should a Car's Belt Be Replaced?

Generally, a car's belt should be replaced after traveling 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Here are the specific details about the timing belt: 1. Replacement based on specified mileage: The timing belt is a consumable item, and once it breaks, the camshaft will not operate according to the timing, which can very likely cause the valves to collide with the pistons, resulting in severe damage. Therefore, the timing belt must be replaced according to the mileage or time specified by the manufacturer. 2. Function of the timing belt: During the operation of a car engine, the four processes of intake, compression, explosion, and exhaust continuously occur in the cylinder, and the timing of each step must be coordinated with the movement state and position of the pistons to ensure that the intake, exhaust, and piston movements are synchronized. The timing belt, driven by the crankshaft, transmits power to the corresponding components.

Can a vehicle pass inspection with different tire tread patterns?

Can a vehicle pass inspection with different tire tread patterns? Yes, but the left and right tires must have the same tread pattern. Here are specific methods for tire maintenance: 1. Regularly check tire pressure: Tire pressure is a crucial factor affecting tire lifespan. It should not be too high or too low; inflate according to the vehicle's indicated pressure. In summer, try to keep the pressure slightly lower; in winter, ensure tires have slightly more air than in summer due to thermal expansion and contraction. 2. Inspect wear conditions: Some vehicles may experience uneven tire wear, so frequently check the inner side of tires for abnormal wear, focusing on whether tread depth is consistent on both sides. 3. Remove foreign objects promptly: Debris in tire treads poses potential hazards and may eject during driving. 4. Perform wheel alignment regularly: When the vehicle pulls to one side or exhibits abnormal steering, align the tires promptly to prevent further issues. Wheel alignment ensures even force distribution across all four tires, avoiding excessive wear.

Should You Go for Driving Practice in the Rain?

You can go for driving practice on rainy days. Here are some precautions for the Subject 2 driving test in the rain: 1. Wipe the rearview mirrors clean before getting in the car: During the test, you are not allowed to stick your head out, and you cannot reach out to wipe the mirrors after fastening the seatbelt. 2. Do not close the car windows too tightly: Otherwise, fog will form inside the car, affecting visibility. 3. Turn on the windshield wipers promptly: Adjust the wiper speed according to the intensity of the rain to ensure clear visibility. 4. Control the speed: It's best to drive a bit slower than usual. 5. Shake off mud and water from the soles of your shoes before getting in the car: This prevents slipping. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking during the test, as the road is slippery in the rain, which can easily cause the wheels to skid. Stay calm and operate with caution.
