In terms of the front fascia, the Middle East version features an additional chrome bumper bar as a distinctive design element, while the China version lacks this chrome bumper bar. The Middle East version comes with roof rails, body decals, and side door chrome strips, whereas the China version only includes roof rails in higher trims. The China version is configured as a 5-seater, with the luxury variant offering 7 seats, while the Middle East version is exclusively 7-seater across all trims. The Middle East version employs full-time four-wheel drive, whereas the China version uses part-time four-wheel drive. Below are relevant details: 1. Models: Parallel-imported Prados are all Middle East versions, available in three models: Prado 2700, Prado 4000, and the diesel Prado 3000. In contrast, the China version of the Prado discontinued the 2.7L model after the 2018 facelift, retaining only the 3.5L variant. 2. Colors: The Middle East version of the Prado offers a wide range of exterior colors, with ten options available. However, most vehicles in the domestic market are white, which aligns with mainstream aesthetics. The China version of the Prado comes in six color options.

Why Are All the Dashboard Lights On?

The reasons why all the dashboard lights are on include: 1. Dead battery or alternator failure; 2. Excessive dirt and carbon deposits leading to unstable gas content, causing poor engine performance; 3. Low fuel pressure and poor constant pressure performance resulting in low system atomization levels. The dashboard indicator lights and their functions are as follows: 1. Engine warning light: Indicates engine malfunction; 2. Battery warning light: Indicates depleted battery or alternator failure; 3. Oil pressure warning light: Indicates insufficient oil; 4. Coolant temperature warning light: Indicates overheating coolant; 5. Tire pressure warning light: Indicates abnormal tire pressure; 6. ABS warning light: Indicates anti-lock braking system malfunction; 7. Antifreeze warning light: Indicates low antifreeze level; 8. Door ajar warning light: Indicates a door is not properly closed.

What Causes a Car Motor to Fail?

There are several reasons why a car motor may fail: 1. Severe wear of the starter carbon brushes: The carbon brushes are responsible for delivering current to the rotor, causing it to rotate. Although the starter only operates during startup and works for just a few seconds, the current during operation can reach several hundred amperes. 2. Carbon brushes pressing against the rotor: Under the preload force of the spring, the carbon brushes press tightly against the rotor. At the moment of startup, strong electrical sparks are generated at the contact points between the carbon brushes and the rotor, leading to carbon brush erosion. 3. Severe belt wear: Through the belt and pulley, it is evident that the crankshaft rotates very slowly. When the wear is extremely severe, the starter may not be able to drive the crankshaft to rotate at all, producing only a humming current sound.

What is the difference between automotive metal film and regular film?

Automotive metal film and regular film differ in the following ways: 1. Metal film: It interferes with imported GPS and ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) systems, causing GPS drift. It has a limited range for blocking infrared rays, typically around 1300 NM, offers average heat insulation, has a high reflectivity, fewer coatings, and does not oxidize. 2. Regular film: Regular automotive film is a dyed film that uses deep-dyeing techniques and adds heat-absorbing agents to absorb infrared rays from sunlight for heat insulation. However, since it also absorbs visible light, it results in insufficient visible light transmittance and poor clarity due to its inherent manufacturing limitations. Another major drawback of this type of film is that its heat insulation function degrades quickly, and it is prone to fading, though it is relatively cheaper in price.

What are the functions of autonomous driving products?

Autonomous driving product functions include Driving Assistance System (DAS), partially automated system, highly automated system, and fully automated system. Here are the extended details: Driving Assistance System (DAS): Designed to assist the driver by providing important or useful driving-related information and issuing clear and concise warnings when the situation becomes critical. Examples include the "Lane Departure Warning" (LDW) system. Partially automated system: Capable of automatically intervening when the driver receives a warning but fails to take timely action. Examples include the "Automatic Emergency Braking" (AEB) system and the "Emergency Lane Assist" (ELA) system. Highly automated system: Can take over vehicle control for short or extended periods but still requires the driver to monitor driving activities. Fully automated system: Enables driverless operation, allowing all vehicle occupants to engage in other activities without monitoring. This level of automation permits activities such as computer work, rest, sleep, and other entertainment.
