Prado's 3 and 2 gears are the sport gears of the D gear. Gear selection for different road conditions: 1. Uphill: When going uphill, greater power is needed, so you should use "D-" to downshift the vehicle to obtain high torque for climbing. Some slopes are not very steep, and using too low a gear at this time will waste power, so it is necessary to use "D+" to upshift in time. When encountering steep slopes, even after downshifting, the vehicle may still lack power. In this case, please use the S gear sport mode. 2. Downhill: You should use "D+" to shift up to 2/3 gear. Engine braking can prevent the brake pads from overheating and failing due to prolonged braking. 2 or 3 gear can meet the power demand without requiring the high torque of 1 gear. When the vehicle cannot control downhill sliding, you should continue to use "D-" to downshift for braking.

How to Solve the Squeaking Noise When Opening and Closing Car Doors?

Solutions for squeaking noises when opening and closing car doors are as follows: 1. Hinge stiffness causing noise: The noise caused by door hinges is similar to that of house door hinges. Just as applying sesame oil to house door hinges can solve the noise, lubricating the car door hinges can also resolve the issue. 2. Aging seals causing noise: Since dust and sand easily accumulate in the gaps of seals, they should be regularly cleaned with a brush, followed by applying a high-permeability protective agent to prevent seal aging. If the seals are severely damaged or significantly aged, it's best to replace them for convenience. 3. Dry friction of interior panels causing noise: For this type of noise, products like "interior part conditioner" can be used. The 3M series includes such products, which primarily serve as lubricants. Spraying along the seams where the noise originates will quickly reduce the noise. 4. Dust entering the windshield: This usually happens with the front windshield. It might be mistaken for loose clips of the dashboard plastic cover, but it's actually caused by dust entering the windshield. Simply removing the connecting panel and cleaning can solve the problem. 5. Electric window lift noise: First, check if the noise is due to excessive dust on the window seals causing friction with the glass. If so, cleaning the seals can resolve the issue. Another possibility is a problem with the window regulator, in which case it's best to have it inspected at a repair shop.
