Toyota's plug-in hybrid vehicles include the Wildlander, RAV4, Prius, Corolla, and others. Detailed information about plug-in hybrid vehicles is as follows: 1. Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHV) is, simply put, a type of vehicle that falls between an electric vehicle and a fuel-powered vehicle. 2. It has both the traditional car's engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel system, and fuel tank, as well as the electric vehicle's battery, motor, and control circuit. Moreover, the battery capacity is relatively large and comes with a charging port. 3. Compared to non-plug-in hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles have larger battery capacities, supporting longer driving ranges. If used primarily for short trips with good charging conditions, plug-in hybrid vehicles can operate without refueling, functioning purely as electric vehicles and offering the advantages of electric vehicles.

Where is the location of the tow rope?

The location of the tow rope is at the lower part of the bumper. Tow rope: The tow rope is generally used for temporary towing of faulty vehicles. It is a special type of tow rope, usually 4.5m in length, with forged anti-slip hooks at both ends, making it quite convenient to use. Features: Both ends have hooks or loops for ease of use. Precautions: Choose towing tools with eye-catching colors, such as yellow, blue, fluorescent green, fluorescent red, etc. If the color is not conspicuous enough, hang colored cloth strips on the towing tool. When towing at night, try to use a tow rope with reflective materials to enhance the warning effect. The towed vehicle should turn on the hazard lights. If the lights cannot be turned on due to a lack of power, use conspicuous signs such as marking "Faulty Vehicle" at the rear to alert following vehicles to yield.

Is it necessary to go to the DMV in person for vehicle registration?

New vehicle registration can be handled by someone else on behalf of the owner, as long as the ID card provided by the owner matches the name and ID on the car purchase invoice. It is not mandatory for the owner to go in person. Documents required for new vehicle registration: ID card, vehicle certificate of conformity, vehicle parameter sheet, second and fourth copies of the car purchase invoice, vehicle purchase tax receipt, car insurance policy, etc. Additionally, the car purchase invoice, vehicle certificate of conformity, ID card or organization code certificate and its copy used for issuing the invoice, compulsory traffic insurance policy, tax payment certificate, and for non-locals, a temporary residence permit. Notes on new vehicle registration: Although imported vehicles and some domestic cars, small and mini passenger vehicles have been included in the exemption list, the number of domestic car models exempt from inspection is relatively small. Exempt models do not include off-road vehicles, small and mini ordinary passenger vehicles, or heavy and medium-duty trucks.

What is the Scoring Criteria for Curve Driving?

The scoring criteria for curve driving are as follows: if any wheel presses against the road edge line, 100 points will be deducted; stopping midway will also result in a deduction of 100 points. Guidelines for curve driving: When turning left, drive closer to the right side; when turning right, drive closer to the left side. The steering angle should generally be controlled at around 90 degrees, avoiding large adjustments. Maintain a steady speed throughout the process, not too fast, and do not stop midway. The vehicle body can graze the line but must not press against it. The entire course should be completed in 1st gear at a steady speed. Precautions: When you see the left 1/3 of the hood and the left edge line of the right turn meet, turn the steering wheel one full circle to the right while making slight adjustments to keep the right corner of the vehicle aligned with the left edge line of the right turn. Driving along the S-curve in this manner will prevent the vehicle from pressing against or crossing the line.

What is the difference between cars with and without a 't'?

The differences between cars with and without a 't' include performance, production costs, and later maintenance. A car with a 't' indicates the use of a turbocharged engine, while one without a 't' means it uses a naturally aspirated engine. Performance differences: For the same displacement, a naturally aspirated engine has weaker explosive power compared to a turbocharged engine. If you prefer smooth and steady power output, you might choose a naturally aspirated engine; if you prefer stronger explosive power, you might opt for the more aggressive turbocharged engine. Production cost differences: Turbocharged engines are more expensive to produce than naturally aspirated engines. A turbocharged engine includes an additional turbocharger, and because it operates in high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, the materials used must meet higher standards. Combined with the higher precision required in manufacturing, this makes turbocharged engines significantly more expensive than naturally aspirated ones. Later maintenance differences: The stronger power of turbocharged engines leads to faster degradation in performance and reliability compared to naturally aspirated engines. As a result, the later maintenance costs are usually higher for turbocharged engines than for naturally aspirated ones.

What is the issue with engine module failure?

ECM failure indicates a problem with the power module or the engine. The full name of Engine ECM is: Engine-Control-Module, which is the 'Engine Control Module'. Generally, it is currently referred to as 'ECU' in the industry: Electronic-Control-Unit, the electronic control unit. Composition of the control system: In simple terms, the control system of an electronically controlled engine consists of three parts: the Sensor, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and the actuator. The ECU serves as the 'brain' in this system. Functionally, it is a dedicated microcomputer controller for the engine. Like a regular computer, it is composed of a microprocessor (CPU), memory (ROM, RAM), input/output interfaces (I/O), analog-to-digital converters (A/D), as well as shaping, driving, and other large-scale integrated circuits. Working principle: During operation, the ECM collects information about various working states of the engine through various sensors (including temperature sensors, pressure sensors, rotation sensors, flow sensors, position sensors, oxygen sensors, knock sensors, etc.), which are then transmitted to the ECU via dedicated lines.

Where to Handle Traffic Violations?

Vehicle traffic violation points can be processed at the local Vehicle Management Office or Traffic Police Brigade where the vehicle is registered. If the violation occurs in a different location and results in 12 penalty points, the vehicle owner must go to the place where the violation occurred to handle it. To process violations at the Vehicle Management Office, you need to bring the original vehicle registration certificate of the violating vehicle; the original ID card of the person receiving the points; and the original driver's license of the person receiving the points. On-the-spot ticket issuance: If a traffic police officer issues an on-the-spot penalty decision for a vehicle violation, you must bring your ID card, driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, and the penalty ticket to the local traffic division or brigade to handle the violation. In this case, the violation must be handled at the location where it occurred; it cannot be processed back in your home jurisdiction. Electronic monitoring ticket: If the violation is captured by electronic monitoring and no on-the-spot ticket is issued, after checking the violation record on the traffic management bureau's website, if it falls under the general simplified procedure category, it can be handled in a different location. Otherwise, the violation can only be processed at the traffic management department where the violation occurred.
