RAV4 is a model under Toyota. The main differences between the 2021 RAV4 and the 2020 model are as follows: 1. Minor upgrades in safety features: The 2020 model only came with a tire pressure warning system, while the 2021 model is equipped with tire pressure display. The key difference between tire pressure warning and tire pressure display is that the latter allows real-time monitoring of tire pressure values and directly indicates which tire has an issue when abnormal pressure is detected. In contrast, the tire pressure warning does not show specific values and only alerts the driver via a warning light when tire pressure is too low, requiring the driver to manually inspect all four tires. 2. Upgrades in multimedia equipment: The 2021 RAV4 adds a GPS navigation system, navigation traffic information display, and a voice recognition control system (covering multimedia, navigation, phone, air conditioning, and sunroof). Additionally, the multimedia system supports vehicle connectivity, making the infotainment system more intelligent. However, the 2021 model removed two highly practical features—CARLIFE and factory phone mirroring—which is certainly a point of criticism. 3. Changes in ambient lighting: The 2020 RAV4 featured a single-color ambient light, but this was removed in the 2021 model. Moreover, it cannot be retrofitted with an original factory option, making this a downgrade for the 2021 version.

What Causes a Sudden Increase in Engine Noise?

The reasons for a sudden increase in engine noise are: 1. Loose components: Some parts in the engine compartment, such as the valve cover or intake pipe, may become loose and collide with the compartment during driving, producing noise; 2. Oil issues: When new oil is replaced, the engine may not adapt to the oil's viscosity, potentially causing higher RPMs; 3. Carbon buildup: Over time, a significant amount of carbon deposits can accumulate, adhering to the friction components inside the engine and increasing friction. An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc.

How to Drive a Manual Transmission Car?

To drive a manual transmission car: 1. When starting, press the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot and shift into first gear. Place your right foot lightly over the accelerator pedal. Slowly release the clutch while simultaneously releasing the handbrake and gently pressing the accelerator. As you press the accelerator, gradually lift your left foot off the clutch pedal to achieve a smooth start. 2. When starting on a steep hill, lift the clutch pedal with your left foot to the appropriate position, where the vehicle is in a semi-engaged state, then quickly press the accelerator while slowly releasing the clutch and handbrake to start the vehicle. When driving in rain or snow, it's important not only to reduce speed but also to make judgments in advance, especially when approaching intersections. Always slow down early to avoid being unable to stop in time. Remember to use intermittent braking to prevent the vehicle from skidding.
