The differences between steel wheels and aluminum alloy wheels: 1. Different appearance: Aluminum alloy wheels have a more attractive appearance; steel wheels look more ordinary. 2. Different weight: Aluminum alloy wheels are lighter; steel wheels are heavier. 3. Different heat dissipation: Aluminum alloy wheels have better heat dissipation performance; steel wheels have average heat dissipation. When a car is in motion, the tires and wheels generate a large amount of heat. If this heat accumulates on the wheels, it can affect braking performance, leading to wear on the brakes, wheels, and tires. Aluminum alloy wheels can transfer this heat to the air, helping to dissipate heat from the tires and brakes, thereby increasing the vehicle's safety factor.

How is vehicle driving in the wrong direction photographed?

Vehicle driving in the wrong direction is recorded through snapshots, and some sections of the road are recorded in the form of surveillance videos. This behavior is considered a dynamic violation. Generally, one-way road sections are equipped with surveillance videos or electronic eye snapshot devices. Once a violation of driving in the wrong direction occurs, the probability of being photographed is very high, almost 100%. According to relevant regulations: If a motor vehicle driver violates the prohibition signs or markings, fails to overtake or yield as required, or drives in the wrong direction, they will be penalized with 3 points for each violation. If the violation occurs on a highway, the penalty is an immediate deduction of 12 points, and the driver's license may be suspended for twelve months.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Toyota C-HR in liters?

C-HR hybrid version has a fuel tank capacity of 43 liters, while the gasoline version of the Toyota C-HR has a 50L tank. The CHR requires 92-octane fuel. The hybrid version has a fuel consumption of 4.5L per 100 kilometers, allowing a range of 955km on a full tank. The gasoline version consumes 5.7L per 100 kilometers, with a range of 877km on a full tank. During daily driving, it's important to always monitor the remaining fuel level. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments. It's advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. In actual refueling situations, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount may exceed the marked capacity.

What Causes Oil in the Engine Radiator?

Reasons for oil in the engine radiator: 1. Cylinder head gasket failure; 2. Issues with the transmission cooler; 3. Overheating problems; 4. Damaged cylinder head gasket causing oil and coolant passages to connect; 5. Oil pressure being higher than coolant pressure, allowing oil to enter the coolant passages and then the radiator; 6. Air bubbles escaping from the coolant surface in the radiator, causing coolant to flow into the oil passages and then into the oil pan after shutdown. Methods to address oil in the car radiator: 1. Disconnect the overflow tank and turn off the heater; 2. Start the vehicle and let it idle until the engine warms up, then flush the radiator opening with a water hose until no significant oil traces remain; 3. Turn off the engine, open the radiator drain valve, and once water starts flowing, restart the engine while continuing to add water to the radiator opening to allow circulation for about 5 minutes, then stop the engine and cease adding water. After all water drains from the radiator, close the drain valve and refill; 4. Start the car without covering the engine hood, and after warming up, check the radiator opening for oil traces. If none are found, the method is effective; 5. Reconnect the overflow tank and replace the antifreeze as needed.

Does Parking Without Locking the Car Consume Battery?

Parking without locking the car does consume battery. Below are the reasons why not locking the car drains the battery and some precautions for battery usage. Reasons for battery drain when not locking the car: If the car is not locked, it will not enter sleep mode. Sensors such as the anti-theft alarm, warning lights, BCM module, and door sensors will continue to operate, accelerating the battery discharge rate. In severe cases, this can lead to significant battery depletion, causing the vehicle to fail to start and the battery to become irreparably damaged. Precautions for battery usage: Before turning off the engine, ensure all electrical devices like lights, air conditioning, reading lights, and windows are completely turned off. Always make sure the doors are properly closed when locking the car. For long-term parking, periodically start the car to recharge the battery.

What does L1 in car autonomous driving represent?

L1 in car autonomous driving represents driver assistance, which enables the vehicle to operate a very limited number of functions, such as acceleration/deceleration or steering, while the remaining functions still require the driver to operate. At the L1 level, the autonomous driving system can assist the driver with certain driving tasks, such as anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC), which are applications of the L1 level. Autonomous driving refers to the collaboration of artificial intelligence, visual computing, radar, monitoring devices, and global positioning systems to allow the computer to operate the vehicle automatically and safely without any active human intervention.
