The hidden features of the Avalon include: daytime running light brightness adjustment, LED brightness adjustment, ambient mood lighting, etc. Below is an introduction to the Avalon: 1. Interior Design: The fifth-generation Avalon offers dual-tone interior design. It features a 9-inch multimedia touchscreen, a multifunction steering wheel wrapped in genuine leather; the instrument panel adopts traditional analog gauges on both sides with a 7-inch HUD display in the center. Behind the gear shift are driving mode toggle buttons and an electronic parking brake. The vehicle dimensions are 4978x1849x1435mm with a wheelbase of 2870mm and a drag coefficient of 0.27Cd. 2. Performance: The North American version of the fifth-generation Avalon is equipped with either a 3.5-liter V6 engine or a 2.5-liter four-cylinder Toyota Hybrid System II engine paired with a 650-volt electric motor. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid produces 160 kW/215 hp with 220 Nm of torque, achieving city/highway/combined fuel economy of 43/44/44 mpg (approximately 5.47/5.34 L/100km). Due to battery placement under the rear seats, the hybrid version maintains the same 456-liter trunk capacity as the gasoline model.

I've been driving the Avalon for over half a year and particularly love its hidden features that make driving smarter and more convenient. Initially, I didn't know about them as they weren't fully explained in the manual, but I gradually discovered them through exploration. Holding down the unlock button on the key fob can lower all windows at once, which is super handy for cooling down the car in summer; the rearview mirrors automatically tilt down when reversing to help see the curb lines clearly; the wiper maintenance mode allows the wipers to stop in the middle position for quicker replacement; memory seats linked to the key fob automatically adjust the seating position for each driver; hidden wireless charging settings optimize charging speed; customizable ambient lighting colors make nighttime driving more relaxing; remote start pre-cools or pre-heats the car; adjustable sensitivity for the anti-theft alarm; customizable HUD position and brightness for more intuitive navigation; emergency start function for jump-starting when the battery is dead; quick content switching for rear-seat entertainment; customizable wake words for the voice assistant; automatic locking and window closing for safety if windows are left open; expanded coverage for blind-spot monitoring; personalized driving mode memory saves settings; automatic optimization of air quality with the air recirculation system; emergency alerts unlock doors after a collision. These features might go unnoticed at first, but they make daily driving effortless and worry-free.

How to judge the distance between the car and the roadside when pulling over?

When you hear the instruction to "pull over," determine the parking position before proceeding with the operation. If the car deviates, make slight adjustments to correct its position. Try to ensure that the position of the front door handle does not extend beyond the body of the rear door. Confirm the parking position to ensure the car body does not obstruct the passage of other vehicles. After parking, engage the parking brake firmly. Do not release the brake pedal before tightening the parking brake. Turn off the engine before getting out of the car.

How to accurately judge the reference point for pulling over?

First, locate the joint of the car's wiper (usually at the middle of the wiper), then align this joint with the curb when pulling over. The center of the steering wheel should be aligned with the middle of the road, at which point the vehicle is already quite close to the curb. You can use the right rearview mirror to assess the distance between the vehicle and the curb, with an ideal gap of around 30 centimeters.

What to do if you forget to bring your ID card for the Subject 2 driving test?

If you forget to bring your ID card for the Subject 2 driving test, you will not be allowed to take the test. However, if your ID card is lost or expired, you can use a temporary ID card. If you need to use a temporary ID card due to the absence of your regular ID, you must inform the driving test instructor in advance and follow the arrangements made by the driving school. According to Article 19, Section 1 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," first-time applicants for a motor vehicle driving license must fill out an application form and submit their identity proof. Therefore, you can take the Subject 2 test with a temporary ID card. Additionally, note that the validity period of a temporary resident ID card is three months. You can take the Subject 2 test within this period, but you will not be allowed to enter the test site if the card expires. Therefore, make sure to take the test within the validity period. If the temporary ID card expires due to special circumstances, you should apply for a new formal ID card or temporary ID card as soon as possible. Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license examination and refers to the field driving skills test. For small cars (C1 and C2), the test includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). Some regions may include a sixth item, such as highway card collection. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), starting from June 1, 2021, the C2 and C5 Subject 2 tests no longer include the stopping and starting on a slope item. For large vehicles (AB licenses), the Subject 2 test covers 16 items: reverse parking, passing continuous obstacles, curve driving, highway simulation test, width-limited gate, bumpy road, single-plank bridge, narrow road U-turn, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, highway emergency handling, mountain road simulation, right-angle turns, rain and fog weather simulation, highway tire blowout simulation, and tunnel driving simulation.

What are the technique steps for starting on a slope in Subject 2?

Without using the handbrake, while keeping the foot brake pressed, slowly release the clutch until the vehicle body vibrates, then release the brake and press the accelerator. Generally, press the brake firmly with the heel and the accelerator with the toe. While revving the engine, slowly release the clutch with the left foot, lift the right heel off the brake, press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to complete the slope start. This method is suitable for less strict situations, such as when there is no vehicle behind and the slope is not steep. Simply release the brake, quickly press the accelerator and lift the clutch to complete the start.

How to Clock In for Subject 2?

During the practice of Subject 2, the driving school will issue each student a training hour card. When starting the in-car practice, you need to insert this training hour card into a clock-in device and press your fingerprint or start facial recognition, after which the clock-in begins. After completing the practice, you need to remove the card from the clock-in device, marking the end of this training session clock-in.
