The navigation system in the Toyota Prado is an original factory-fitted product. Overview: The new generation Prado 2.7L model has already been sold in China through imports, and it is expected that the domestically produced version will not differ much in appearance. Externally, the new Prado does not show many changes compared to the current model, with only minor adjustments made to certain areas. The diamond-shaped headlights replace the current triangular-style headlights, and the newly designed bumper exudes a strong sense of dominance. The round fog lights on both sides no longer follow the current square design. Additionally, the wheel arches integrated with the body have become more restrained. The dimensions of the new vehicle are likely to be the same as those of the previously imported 2.7L Prado in China, measuring 4820/1885/1845mm, with a wheelbase of 2790mm. This makes it 150mm shorter, 10mm wider, and 60mm lower than the current model. Configuration: As a standard feature representing the spirit of the Prado, the new model still retains the design of a wide front anti-scratch strip, which is more practical for off-road adventures. In contrast to the rugged front style, the Prado's engine hood appears rather plain, lacking any prominent bulges or decorative cut lines. The entire flat surface with straight cut lines on both sides gives a slightly mediocre impression.

I've been driving a Toyota Prado for almost ten years and have experienced multiple models. The factory navigation system is usually Toyota's own, often rebranded with Fujitsu or DENSO technical support in post-2010 versions. The navigation interface is intuitive, but map updates require an annual visit to the 4S store, which is a bit annoying but highly reliable. It's what I use most on long drives, especially performing stably in mountainous areas with poor signals. In comparison, aftermarket Android navigation systems have flashy features but frequent malfunctions. I suggest new owners not rush to replace it—the factory navigation lasts long with few issues, integrates tightly with daily navigation and vehicle information, and is easy to maintain.

Does Having Different Tires on the Left and Right Sides Affect the Car?

Having different tires on the left and right sides does affect the car. It can cause impact on the tires themselves and lead to inconsistent braking resistance, keeping the anti-skid system constantly engaged. Below are specific details about car tires: Parameter Identification: Besides the production date, the sidewall of a tire may have markings like 185/55R15-86V, which correspond to the tire width, aspect ratio, tire type, rim diameter, load index, and speed rating. Tire Replacement: The need for tire replacement can be determined based on the tire's usage and condition. When cracks, bulges, or worn tread patterns appear on the tire surface, it's time to replace the tire promptly. Tire bulges occur due to impacts that break the internal metal wires of the tire, causing bulges. Continuing to drive at high speeds or over long distances with such damage can easily lead to tire blowouts and accidents.

What to Do If the Wiper Arm Cannot Be Removed?

If the wiper arm cannot be removed, you can spray some rust remover and shake it more, or use a dedicated wiper arm puller. The method for removing the wiper arm: Stand the wiper arm completely upright, and based on the angle after placement, you can start the removal. Use one hand to lift the rubber wiper blade, and with the other hand, open the rubber wiper blade side by side underneath to separate the wiper from the wiper arm. Then remove the entire wiper arm. The wiper arm, also known as the wiper linkage, is the strip-shaped part in front of the car that supports the wiper—the part connecting the wiper to the car. The wiper is like a person's hand, and the wiper arm is like the arm. The wiper refers to the blade structure installed in front of the windshield, consisting of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly.

Where is the Lexus Handbrake Button Located?

Lexus handbrake button is located behind the gear shift lever, with 'P' marking the handbrake button. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control, sharing the same working principle as the mechanical handbrake—both utilize friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference lies in the control method, which has evolved from the traditional mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. Lexus is a luxury automobile brand under the Toyota Group. Taking the Lexus NX as an example, its body dimensions are 4640mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1645mm in height. In terms of exterior design, the Lexus NX inherits numerous successful elements from the concept car, maintaining a stunning and impressive styling even in its production version. The muscular body lines leave a very strong impression.

How to Know Which Gear You're In?

Methods to check which gear your car is in are as follows: 1. Primarily observe the tachometer and speedometer: The RPM on the tachometer should generally not exceed 2000 for optimal performance. Start in 1st gear, shift to 2nd when RPM reaches around 1800 and speed is approximately 10 km/h. Similarly for 2nd gear, shift to 3rd when speed exceeds 20 km/h. For gears beyond 3rd, monitor the RPM and shift when it reaches around 2000. The same applies for 4th and 5th gears. 2. Judge by the engine sound: When upshifting, change gears when the engine power is sufficient during driving, indicated by a relaxed engine sound. For downshifting, do the opposite – shift when the engine struggles during driving, noticeable by a heavy engine sound, requiring timely gear changes. In fact, when climbing steep slopes, don't wait until the engine can't handle it before shifting; anticipate slightly to ensure smooth driving.
