The differences between domestically produced and imported Prados are in their logos: The domestically produced Prado features a golden Toyota emblem on the front grille, with 'FAW Toyota' and 'VX' golden logos on the rear, and 'PRADO VX' markings on the side doors. In contrast, the imported Prado has a white Toyota emblem and 'GX' logos on the rear. The Prado is a mid-to-large-sized 5-door, 7-seat SUV under FAW Toyota, with dimensions of 4840mm in length, 1885mm in width, and 1890mm in height, a wheelbase of 2790mm, a top speed of 175 km/h, equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, and a fuel tank capacity of 87L.

What Causes the Slow Throttle Response in Lavida Plus?

The feeling of delayed acceleration when pressing the throttle in the Lavida Plus is mostly due to issues in the powertrain system. Insufficient power supply naturally leads to sluggish acceleration. Components affecting the powertrain system include the throttle body, fuel injectors, intake manifold, fuel lines, and signal sensors. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. If the throttle body malfunctions or the intake manifold is clogged, it can result in insufficient air intake. A faulty throttle body affects the opening and closing degree, while carbon buildup in the intake manifold directly impacts the air intake volume. Reduced air intake affects the combustion efficiency of gasoline, leading to acceleration delay. 2. Carbon buildup in the fuel injectors or clogged fuel lines can affect the fuel supply to the cylinders. Carbon deposits in the injectors reduce the fuel spray volume, while blocked fuel lines directly impact fuel supply or cause insufficient fuel delivery. Inadequate fuel supply disrupts the air-fuel ratio in the combustion chamber, resulting in incomplete combustion. Additionally, if the pedal sensor malfunctions, the signal transmission when pressing the throttle may become abnormal, which is another reason for the delayed throttle response.

Why Are the Brake Calipers of Good Cars Positioned at the Rear?

Most luxury cars adopt rear-positioned brakes. With front-positioned brakes, the force from the caliper is upward while the force from the brake disc is downward during braking. These opposing forces can easily cause the car to experience phenomena like nose-diving or understeer during braking. When the brake disc is at the rear, the front of the car moves downward during braking, and the caliper also exerts a downward force. These two forces in the same direction help balance the front of the car. The main difference between front and rear brake discs lies in braking efficiency, with front brake discs generally offering higher braking efficiency. During driving, when the brakes are applied, the car tends to "nose-dive" forward due to inertia. At this point, the front braking system needs to handle over 70% of the braking force, while the rear brakes only need to manage about 30%. This means the car's braking force primarily relies on the front wheels, making disc brakes, which offer better braking efficiency and faster heat dissipation, more suitable for front braking. The notion that calipers at the rear signify a good car is not universally applicable.

When Can Temporary License Plates Be Collected?

After applying for temporary license plates at the vehicle management office, the official license plates can be collected in about 15 days. After obtaining the official license plates, they still need to be securely sealed at the vehicle management office. Temporary license plates for vehicles are temporary driving permits issued by the public security vehicle management department when the vehicle has not yet been officially registered due to the processing of certain procedures. Below is more information about the use of temporary license plates for vehicles: 1. New vehicles using temporary license plates must not exceed 15 days, and the owner should promptly apply to the vehicle management authority for the use of official license plates. 2. Two temporary license plates should be affixed simultaneously, one in the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, and the other should be affixed in the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. 3. If the vehicle has installation limitations and only one temporary license plate is issued, it should be affixed in the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, to ensure driving safety.

What are the reasons for abnormal display of the engine oil pressure gauge?

There are several possible reasons for abnormal display of the engine oil pressure gauge: 1. If the gauge needle indicates low pressure, it may be due to excessive wear of the oil pump, clogged filter, or low oil level. 2. The pressure gauge itself may be faulty. 3. The lubricating oil may be too thin. 4. Poor sealing of the oil passages. When the gauge needle shows abnormal oil pressure, it indicates a fault in the engine components. If the oil gauge needle indicates low pressure or the needle fluctuates significantly, it may be caused by excessive wear of the oil pump, clogged filter, oil suction screen exposed above the oil level, low oil level, air mixed in the oil passages, or a faulty pressure gauge. Additionally, low viscosity of the lubricating oil, poor sealing and lubrication of the oil passages, excessive viscosity of the lubricating oil when too cold, or excessive sludge deposits in the lubricating oil can also cause abnormal display of the oil pressure gauge. The working principle of the oil pressure sensor (engine oil pressure sensor) is that it contains a sliding resistor. The oil pressure pushes the potentiometer of the sliding resistor to move, changing the current of the oil pressure gauge and altering the position of the needle.

What is the function of the S gear in an automatic transmission car?

Here are the main functions of the S gear in an automatic transmission car: 1. The S gear is the sport mode, which allows for faster acceleration. 2. The S gear is the car's sport mode, where the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer period. This allows the car to move at a lower gear and higher RPM for an extended time, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. Here are some tips for using the S gear: 1. Generally, when overtaking, you can engage the S gear to enhance acceleration. Engaging the S gear can increase the engine load in a short time, but the S gear only delays upshifting without changing other operational aspects. This will inevitably increase the transmission load in a short time, accompanied by a rise in temperature, leading to increased wear. Therefore, try not to use the S gear for extended periods. 2. Since fuel injection increases at high RPM, the S mode consumes more fuel than the normal mode. Avoid engaging the S gear during vehicle startup, high-speed cruising, and coasting. 3. Cars that frequently drive in congested urban areas tend to accumulate more carbon deposits in the engine. Therefore, using the S gear appropriately at regular intervals helps remove carbon deposits from the engine, improve fuel economy, and extend the engine's lifespan.
