Toyota's connected car services mainly include functions such as vehicle status query, vehicle control, personalized settings, negligence reminders, vehicle warnings, and vehicle alarms. When situations such as unlocked doors, unclosed windows or sunroof, and unswitched-off hazard warning lights or headlights/taillights occur, the APP will send negligence reminders to inform users to check the vehicle's condition. Below is an introduction to Toyota Motor Corporation: 1. Headquarters: Located in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, and Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, with founder Kiichiro Toyoda and current president Akio Toyoda. 2. Ranking: Toyota Motor Corporation ranked 10th in the 2020 Fortune Global 500 list.

I use Toyota's connected car system every day and simply can't live without it. The most practical feature is remotely starting the engine and turning on the AC via mobile app - in summer I can fully cool the car before entering, so the steering wheel won't burn my hands. When I can't find my car in parking lots, the app shows real-time location and license plate number, and the 'find my car' function makes lights flash and horn sound. Last year when my car got rear-ended, the airbags deployed and customer service immediately called my phone asking if I needed an ambulance. The system automatically checks vehicle status monthly, popping up alerts for low tire pressure and clearly displaying remaining oil life. Now on highways, I let the car's navigation plan routes to avoid traffic, saving significant time.

What is the best engine oil for Volkswagen Sagitar 1.6?

For the Volkswagen Sagitar 1.6, it is recommended to use the engine oil grade specified in the "Maintenance Manual." Both 5W30 mineral oil and synthetic oil are suitable. The differences between mineral oil and synthetic oil are as follows: 1. Synthetic oil has a wider temperature range, longer service life, and higher cost; 2. For the same oil film requirements, synthetic oil can achieve the desired effect with lower viscosity, while mineral oil requires a relatively higher viscosity to meet the same requirements; 3. Under the same working conditions, synthetic oil has a much longer service life than mineral oil, resulting in higher costs. However, when considering the frequency of oil changes, the overall cost is not significantly higher than that of mineral oil.

What Does Turning on Hazard Lights Mean?

Hazard lights are warning signals to alert surrounding vehicles to keep their distance. When your car experiences a malfunction, you need to turn on the hazard lights. Once activated, both the left and right turn signals will flash simultaneously to warn others. More details about hazard lights are as follows: 1. When hazard lights are turned on, both the left and right turn signals flash together, accompanied by a "clicking" sound inside the car. Hazard lights should be activated in situations like vehicle breakdowns, foggy conditions, or traffic accidents to signal vehicles behind you and ensure safety for yourself and others. The hazard light button is typically located on the car's central console, marked by a prominent red triangle icon. 2. During heavy rain, visibility is already very low. If hazard lights are used in such conditions, following vehicles may mistake the car ahead for being in trouble, leading some to slow down or even brake suddenly. In rainy weather, one car braking can easily cause a chain-reaction rear-end collision. Traffic regulations stipulate that using hazard lights in very low visibility conditions will result in a 1-point penalty and a fine of 20-200 yuan. Therefore, remember never to use hazard lights during heavy rain.

What Does Car RPM Refer To?

Car RPM refers to the rotational speed of the car's engine. The function of car RPM is to promptly reflect the operating condition of the engine, enabling the driver to better coordinate with the transmission gear and throttle position, thereby maintaining the car in its optimal working state to reduce fuel consumption and extend the engine's service life. Below is relevant information about car engine RPM: 1. The instrument that displays the engine speed under various working conditions is called a tachometer, which is generally installed on the dashboard and symmetrically placed alongside the speedometer; 2. Its unit is 1/min×1000, indicating how many thousand revolutions the engine makes per minute. The faster the engine speed, the more pulses the ignition coil generates, and the higher the RPM value displayed on the gauge.

What to Do After Buying a New Car?

After purchasing a new car, you need to pay purchase tax, vehicle and vessel tax, and insurance, as well as apply for license plates. It is recommended that new car owners purchase more comprehensive insurance for better driving safety. In addition to getting the car inspected promptly, there are many other tasks to complete, such as eliminating odors inside the car using charcoal bags or air purifiers, installing a dashcam to protect your rights, and using a steering wheel lock for theft prevention. Below are the relevant details: 1. New cars often have strong odors, so the first step after purchase is to eliminate these smells. These odors contain a significant amount of formaldehyde, making it very important to place several charcoal bags inside the car to absorb the formaldehyde. 2. Install a dashcam. A dashcam can record most of what happens in front of the car, which is very useful for dealing with emergencies or fraud attempts like staged accidents. 3. Take theft prevention measures, such as purchasing a steering wheel lock. There are various types of steering wheel locks, including double-club locks, T-shaped locks, and telescopic locks.

Does a hybrid vehicle use electricity or fuel first?

Hybrid vehicles use electricity first. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Hybrid vehicles offer excellent fuel efficiency and superior driving performance. The engine in a hybrid vehicle runs on fuel, but during startup and acceleration, the electric motor assists, thereby reducing fuel consumption. Simply put, compared to a conventional car of the same size, hybrid vehicles incur lower fuel costs. 2. The powertrain of a hybrid electric vehicle primarily consists of a control system, a drive system, an auxiliary power system, and a battery pack. 3. At the beginning of a trip, the battery is fully charged, and its energy output can meet the vehicle's requirements, so the auxiliary power system does not need to operate. 4. When the battery charge drops below 60%, the auxiliary power system activates. 5. When the vehicle's energy demand is high, both the auxiliary power system and the battery pack supply energy to the drive system. When the energy demand is low, the auxiliary power system not only powers the drive system but also recharges the battery pack.
