Highlander's audio system is the JBL Premium series. The interior and multimedia configurations of the Highlander are introduced as follows: Highlander interior configurations: The interior of the Highlander largely continues the layout and design of the current model, with upgrades in details.

As a frequent driver of the Toyota Highlander, I must say the audio system in the higher trim levels usually comes with JBL speakers, and the sound quality is fantastic, especially the deep and powerful bass. Playing some rock or jazz while driving is incredibly immersive. JBL is quite renowned in the automotive audio industry and has partnered with Toyota for many years, ensuring precise sound positioning so every seat in the car enjoys clear audio. The base model might come with Toyota's standard audio system, which is decent but not as impressive. If you go for a test drive at the dealership, be sure to test the audio system—different model years and trims vary, like the 2023 Limited trim which upgraded its speakers. Music significantly impacts the driving experience, so choosing the right trim can make your journey much more enjoyable. To avoid regrets, pay close attention to the specs sheet.

I bought a Highlander Luxury Edition two years ago, equipped with a JBL sound system. The music quality is exceptional when driving with family on trips—the highs aren't piercing, and the mids are rich. Unlike standard car audio systems that often produce muffled sounds, JBL pays great attention to in-car acoustic design. Toyota typically offers several trim levels, with JBL reserved for higher trims, while base models come with Toyota's standard audio—clear but lacking in detail. When choosing a car, I recommend testing the audio system in person, as specifications may vary by model year or region. Upgrading the audio is also straightforward; authorized service centers can install JBL components. JBL systems are durable, maintaining clarity even at highway speeds—music truly becomes the perfect driving companion.

From a technical automotive perspective, the high-end Highlander models typically feature a JBL-branded audio system with 8 or more speakers, including subwoofers and amplifiers, offering wide frequency response and balanced sound quality. The base models come with Toyota's standard audio system. JBL supports multi-channel sound effects and provides stable Bluetooth connectivity with clear output. To confirm the audio brand, check the vehicle specifications or nameplate. Sound quality is influenced by interior design, so ensure compatibility with the powertrain when upgrading. Actual tests show low distortion, making it suitable for various music genres.

Must China VI Vehicles Use China VI Fuel?

China VI vehicles must use China VI fuel, and the relevant introduction is as follows: 1. Increased emission requirements: To meet the emission standards, China VI emissions are stricter than China V emissions in terms of carbon monoxide, non-methane hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. Failure to meet emission standards will result in severe penalties. The increase in emission standards cannot be achieved solely through the upgrade of engines and post-treatment systems; fuel quality also plays a crucial role in emissions. 2. Refuel at certified gas stations: When refueling, please go to certified gas stations, preferably those of well-known brands, especially those operated by state-controlled petroleum companies, as their fuel quality and sources are guaranteed. 3. Use of diesel filters: Pay attention to the use of diesel filters and strictly follow the regulations for routine maintenance operations such as draining water and replacing filter elements to ensure that water and impurities in diesel are effectively filtered.

Why Does the Windshield Cause Dizziness?

Because internal distortions in the glass cause abnormal refraction of light. Here is some relevant information about windshields: 1. Precautions: Tempered glass cannot be used for windshields. Generally, windshields are made of laminated glass, while door glass is usually cheaper tempered glass. 2. Quality Differentiation: The edges of broken low-quality glass are usually very sharp, whereas qualified glass has smoother break edges. Each piece of glass has a label in the corner containing a lot of information, such as the glass brand, production date, manufacturer, etc. China mandates 3C certification.

What Causes the Red Triangle Light to Illuminate?

The red triangle light illuminates due to poor visibility. Here are some explanations regarding the red triangle light: 1. Red Triangle Symbol: It is the hazard warning flasher, commonly referred to as 'double flashing'. The red triangle contains a '!' symbol button switch, colloquially known as the hazard lights or emergency flashers. 2. Signal Light: When a motor vehicle breaks down on the road and needs to stop to fix the issue, the driver should immediately turn on the hazard warning flashers and move the vehicle to a place where it does not obstruct traffic. If the vehicle is difficult to move, the hazard warning flashers should remain on continuously. In addition to turning on the hazard lights, the fog lights should also be activated to provide illumination for the driver.

What to Do When ETC Fails to Deduct Fees Properly?

If ETC fails to deduct fees properly, you can go to the bank where you applied for the ETC service. The specific process is as follows: Bring the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Fill out an application form for a refund. The bank will verify the account and confirm any incorrect deductions. After verification by the bank, the overcharged fees can be refunded. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the vehicle in front from having a faulty ETC device or no ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic payment for that vehicle. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20 km/h. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to failed deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, can cause the electronic tag to malfunction. You can take it to the bank where you applied for the ETC card or the highway service office for inspection. If the detachment or loosening is not due to human error, reactivation may be sufficient. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance can also cause deduction failures. Follow the guidance of on-site staff and use the manual MTC lane, paying with cash or card. Thick car windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is especially important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after an accident or for those with modified front windshields.

Can Electronic Eyes Detect Vehicles Without Annual Inspection?

Electronic eyes on the road can detect vehicles without annual inspection, but not all electronic eyes have this capability as they serve different functions. Currently, electronic eyes capable of identifying uninspected vehicles are not widely deployed; they are mostly installed at toll station checkpoints on highways or gantry structures at certain intersections. When a vehicle passes through a highway toll station checkpoint or intersections/tunnels equipped with shared cameras, the electronic eye will photograph it. These images are transmitted to a backend system for cross-referencing with traffic police databases through computer analysis. If a vehicle is confirmed to have missed inspection, the system will flag corresponding photos and generate an alert in the backend. Upon receiving this alert, traffic police will intercept the uninspected vehicle at the next intersection along its route. Annual vehicle inspection is legally mandatory - every road vehicle must undergo it. To facilitate car owners, the government has implemented a six-year exemption policy where new vehicles meeting inspection requirements can skip annual checks for six years.

What is the difference between Alcantara and suede?

Alcantara and suede are somewhat similar, but the former is a composite fiber that is easy to clean, while the latter is the reverse side of cowhide (hence also called "reverse leather"). Alcantara was invented in 1970 by Dr. Miyoshi Okamoto of Toray Industries, Inc. in Japan, and is composed of 68% polyester and 32% polyurethane, not genuine leather, though it is relatively expensive. Here is some related information about Alcantara: 1. Advantages: Alcantara has excellent hand feel, high friction coefficient, great softness, vibrant colors, strong durability/wear resistance, and is extremely easy to maintain. 2. Features: Alcantara utilizes a series of unique and advanced processing techniques, making it a high-end, innovative new material. This process has yet to be successfully replicated, so this material remains exclusive to Alcantara. Since 2009, Alcantara® has been certified as a carbon-neutral material and has been identified as having active ingredients that can reduce and offset carbon dioxide emissions.
