The effects of incorrectly mounting tires inside out include: reduced grip, uneven resistance on both sides of the vehicle, decreased braking effectiveness, tendency to veer off course, unstable steering, and poor water drainage during rainy weather, leading to potential safety hazards. Additionally, if the tires are mounted incorrectly, the vehicle's comfort will certainly be affected, and wear will accelerate faster than under normal conditions. Tire installation methods: 1. Symmetrical tread tires: There is no distinction between front, back, left, right, inside, or outside for installation, but it is recommended to place the side with the production date facing outward; 2. Asymmetrical tread tires: During installation, the side marked with the letters "outside" should be mounted facing outward.

Has the Crown Been Discontinued?

In April 2020, the Toyota Crown was officially discontinued, ending with its fourteenth generation. The discontinuation was due to its lackluster market performance and poor sales, with only 10,378 units sold in 2019. Toyota replaced it with the all-new Avalon. Additional details: 1. The first-generation Crown was introduced in 1995, and up until the twelfth generation, which entered the Chinese market in 2003, it remained a popular and best-selling model. In 2003, it even reached a peak monthly sales figure of 20,000 units. 2. With the launch of the thirteenth generation, its positioning became overly high-end, with prices rising to the level of BBA (BMW, Benz, Audi). As a mid-to-large-sized C-segment sedan, it also suffered from issues such as large displacement and high fuel consumption, gradually losing its consumer market. Meanwhile, Toyota's all-new Avalon, based on the TNGA architecture and also positioned as a mid-to-large-sized C-segment sedan, performed more impressively in various aspects. For market considerations, Toyota chose to discontinue the Crown and focus on promoting the Avalon.

How often should the Corolla's engine oil be changed?

Toyota Corolla new cars mostly default to using Toyota Genuine 0W-20 full synthetic oil, which only needs to be changed once a year or every 10,000 kilometers. Synthetic oil has a wider temperature range for use, a longer service life, and a higher cost; for the same oil film requirements, synthetic oil can achieve this with a lower viscosity. Additional information: 1. Toyota officially recommends using 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, and 10W-30 grade oils for the Corolla. The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the oil's cold-start performance. Using oil with a lower number before the W makes it easier to start the engine in cold weather. The 20 in 0W-20 represents the oil's viscosity characteristics at high temperatures. Higher viscosity oils (with higher values) may be more suitable for high-speed driving or heavy-load vehicles. 2. When selecting the viscosity grade, generally, 5W is sufficient for most regions in winter, while some northern areas (such as Harbin) are better off using 0W for better low-temperature fluidity to adapt to the driving environment temperature. For high-temperature viscosity, a lubricant with a viscosity value of 20 is typically used. However, if driving frequently in congested areas, for older vehicles, or for long-distance heavy-load transportation, the lubricant viscosity can be appropriately increased, such as using 0W-30 oil.

What is ECO for?

ECO is the car's economic driving mode, also known as the economy mode. When the vehicle frequently travels in congested urban road conditions, turning on the ECO mode has a good fuel-saving effect. Under the operation of the ECO mode, the engine carbon deposits are basically similar to those produced under normal operating conditions. The main principle of the ECO mode is not complicated. It mainly involves making comprehensive judgments and analyses during the vehicle's movement regarding factors that affect fuel consumption, such as automatic transmission gear, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the appropriate amount of fuel to provide to the engine for operation, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving mode. Simply put, it controls the engine speed with reasonable gears to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption. ECO is an abbreviation, with the Chinese translation being Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The ECO mode is also divided into active ECO driving mode and non-active ECO driving mode. When the ECO indicator light on the dashboard lights up, it means the vehicle's economy mode has been activated. The ECO mode is divided into active and non-active types, with the difference being that the active type has its own button, allowing the driver to choose whether to turn it on. When the driver presses the ECO mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately lights up, and the vehicle automatically begins to adjust settings, such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The non-active ECO mode does not have a dedicated button. When the dashboard ECO indicator light comes on, it is only a reminder function. ECO automatically evaluates your driving behavior. If your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the ECO indicator light. Most cars use the active ECO driving mode, which means they have their own switch button. Therefore, the ECO mode can be turned on during daily driving, except when the speed exceeds 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or manual mode, especially when climbing a hill. There is no need to turn on the ECO mode in these situations, as it would not reflect the economic and fuel-saving characteristics of ECO and could even affect power. In addition, the ECO mode usually fails under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the car will consider the speed, and the ECO mode automatically deactivates. During idle parking or in N/P gear and manual mode, the ECO mode may also fail. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine computer will prioritize ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the ECO mode will not work either.
