As an owner who has driven both family cars, these two are like brothers, but there are nuances upon closer inspection. The Vios has a fine horizontal grille on the front, giving it a more youthful vibe, while the Yaris L has a wide-mouth design, appearing more mature. Inside, the Yaris L dashboard features faux-leather textures, whereas the Vios uses plain hard plastic—though honestly, the difference in feel is minimal. These two share identical engines, transmissions, and chassis, so the driving experience is practically the same. The most tangible difference is the badge: FAW Toyota Vios and GAC Toyota Yaris L. There’s no need to overthink which one to buy—just consider which dealership offers more convenient after-sales service near you and which has better discounts. Either way, both are reliable choices.

Should You Turn on AC When Using Car Heater in Winter?

You don't need to turn on AC when using car heater in winter. The AC button controls the car's air conditioning compressor, which is only required when cooling in summer. Pressing the AC button activates the compressor for cooling. The heater simply utilizes the car's internal heat circulation principle without needing the air conditioning compressor. To use the heater, you only need to adjust the temperature control and turn on the blower fan. Therefore, there's no need to activate the AC switch when using car heater in winter. The heating system uses engine-generated heat to warm the air - after the engine cooling system dissipates heat from the engine, a fan directs this heat into the cabin as warm air. Even if you don't use the heater, the heat generated by engine operation would still be expelled outside the vehicle through normal heat circulation.

What Type of Engine Oil Should Be Used in Winter?

What type of engine oil should be used in winter depends on the lowest temperature in your region during winter. If the winter temperature in your area does not drop below -35 degrees Celsius, then 0W oil can be used. If it does not drop below -30 degrees Celsius, 5W oil can be used, and if it does not drop below -35 degrees Celsius, 10W oil is suitable. When selecting engine oil, it is essential to choose the appropriate viscosity for your car's engine based on its technical characteristics. The viscosity of the oil should not be too high or too low. If the viscosity is too low, the engine may not receive sufficient lubrication, which can increase wear and tear. If the viscosity is too high, it can increase the resistance the engine faces during operation, negatively affecting power output and fuel economy.

What vehicles can a B2 license drive?

A B2 driver's license allows the holder to operate medium and heavy-duty trucks or specialized operation vehicles, and also permits driving small cars, small automatic transmission vehicles, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, and wheeled self-propelled machinery. With a B2 license, one is allowed to drive blue-plate minibuses with 9 seats or fewer and a vehicle length under 6 meters. Among the medium and heavy-duty trucks permitted by a B2 license, there are no restrictions on tonnage or length, but the requirement is that the cargo compartment and the cargo hold must be on the same chassis. Some trucks where the cab can be detached from the trailer, known as tractors or commonly referred to as 'semi-trucks,' can only be driven with an A2 license.

What does the 'a' next to the electronic handbrake mean?

The 'a' next to the electronic handbrake represents the auto start-stop function, whose English name is autohold. After turning on this switch, when the vehicle is braked to a stop during driving, even if the brake is released, the vehicle will not continue to move. It will only resume driving when the accelerator is pressed, and can only be turned off manually. This function is suitable for situations like going up and down slopes or frequent starts and stops. The automatic parking system is a technical application that can achieve an automatic handbrake during vehicle operation. This technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stopped, and prevents unnecessary sliding when the automatic electronic parking brake is engaged.

What Components Make Up a Car's Power System?

An automobile's power system primarily consists of a battery, alternator, and voltage regulator. The alternator is responsible for charging the battery, keeping it sufficiently charged over time, while both the battery and alternator supply power to all the vehicle's electrical components. The battery is an essential part of the car and can be categorized into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. The car alternator serves as the main power source, functioning to supply electricity to all electrical devices and simultaneously charge the battery when the engine is running normally. Since the alternator is driven by the car's engine, and the engine's speed is not constant, the alternator's output voltage may fluctuate. Therefore, an electronic device is required to regulate the alternator, ensuring it outputs a relatively stable voltage across different engine speeds—this is the role of the voltage regulator.
