Toyota Vios uses Bridgestone tires with the model number 185/60/R15. Bridgestone Corporation was established in 1931 by Shojiro Ishibashi in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It ranked 365th in the 2018 Fortune Global 500 list. The company's English name is derived from the literal translation of the founder's surname "Ishibashi". Bridgestone is Japan's largest tire manufacturer and also the world's largest tire producer. In Chinese, Bridgestone was once called "Stone Bridge Brand" in early years, but the company has now uniformly adopted the transliterated name "Bridgestone". For Toyota Vios tires in daily use, pay attention to the following points: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread pattern wears out, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may become potential hazards for tire blowouts during high-speed driving. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles from the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids or other materials that may cause rubber deterioration. After parking, drivers should not turn the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water for cooling. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and air pressure increases. In such cases, park to allow heat dissipation. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water for cooling, as this may cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent and emergency braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between tires and the ground.

What to Do When a Car Stalls in Water

Steps to handle a car stalling in water: 1. Immediately exit the vehicle to assess the flooding level and turn off the engine; 2. If the water level exceeds half of the tire, do not attempt to restart the car. Remove the key and roll up the windows to prevent water from entering the cabin; 3. Loosen the battery terminal screws and disconnect the negative battery cable to avoid short circuits caused by water damage to electrical components; 4. Remove the spark plugs and attempt to start the engine to expel water from the cylinders and exhaust pipe. After drying the spark plugs, reinstall them and try starting the car again. If the issue persists, call for roadside assistance immediately or seek help to move the vehicle out of the water to prevent prolonged submersion, which could damage the chassis. Always seek professional help promptly after a water-related incident to minimize further damage.

What needs to be replaced during the second maintenance of a car?

The second maintenance of a car requires an oil change and oil filter replacement. Some models may also require the replacement of air and cabin filters. The second maintenance also includes inspections and maintenance of dozens of items across multiple systems, such as the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires. Additionally, a full vehicle routine inspection is conducted, covering tires, brakes, chassis, suspension, lights, and various fluid levels. The second maintenance is typically performed when the new car reaches 10,000 kilometers. After the inspection and maintenance during the second maintenance, the overall condition of the car significantly improves, ensuring driving safety. Following the second maintenance, the new car's functions stabilize, and thereafter, minor maintenance should be done every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers based on the car's condition and usage habits, while a comprehensive check-up and maintenance should be performed every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers.

How to Perform a Launch Control Start with an Automatic Transmission?

Method for performing a launch control start with an automatic transmission: 1. Warm up the engine; 2. Turn off ESP, switch the transmission to manual mode, and lock the gear in first; 3. Press the brake pedal fully and then press the accelerator pedal fully; 4. Use cruise control to adjust the RPM—up to increase, down to decrease; 5. Immediately release the brake once the engine reaches the preset maximum RPM, and the vehicle will launch forward. Not all automatic transmission private cars can achieve a launch control start. One major reason is that ESP cannot be turned off. ESP limits the engine RPM during startup, preventing the engine from delivering maximum torque, thus making a launch control start impossible. To perform a launch control start with an automatic transmission, the vehicle must first allow ESP to be turned off.

How to Check the Model Number of Toyota Spark Plugs?

To check the model number of Toyota spark plugs, look for the model marking on the ceramic part of the spark plug. The model number of a spark plug is typically arranged in the order of material, size, heat value, insulation characteristics, resistance, electrode shape, and gap. Each brand's spark plug model number is different. For example, in DENSO's IW16EXRU11, 'I' represents the material as iridium, 'W' indicates a spark plug diameter of 14 millimeters, '16' denotes the heat value (third level of heat resistance), 'E' stands for a thread length of 19 to 20 millimeters, 'X' signifies super insulation material, 'R' indicates the presence of resistance, 'U' represents the U-groove structure of the ignition electrode, and '11' denotes a spark plug gap of 11 millimeters.

How to Adjust the Rearview Mirror of Volkswagen Lavida?

Method to adjust the rearview mirror of Volkswagen Lavida: The rearview mirror adjustment knob is located on the door armrest. The adjustment method is to align the rearview mirror parallel to the horizon, with the horizon positioned at the center of the mirror, occupying half of the mirror's height. The mirror surface should be slightly tilted towards the driver to ensure clear visibility of approaching vehicles from behind. The Volkswagen Lavida is the first independently developed A-segment car by Shanghai Volkswagen. Its body dimensions are 4562mm in length, 1793mm in width, and 1468mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2614mm. The Volkswagen Lavida offers two powertrain versions: one is a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine paired with a 6AT or 5MT transmission, delivering a maximum power of 113Ps and a peak torque of 145Nm; the other is a 1.4T turbocharged engine mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, producing a maximum power of 150Ps and a peak torque of 250Nm.

Can a car still be driven after being parked for a month?

Can a car still be driven after being parked for a month? If the car has been parked for more than a month, it is recommended to start the vehicle once a week or disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent the car battery from draining and affecting its use. Even after the car is turned off and parked, the car battery remains in a working state, with some electronic devices like the anti-theft module continuously consuming power. If the car battery has a small capacity, it may run out of power within 2 to 3 weeks. Things to note when the car is not in use: 1: Regular inspections, or driving the car once a week, and try to park the car in a garage to avoid exposure to wind and sun; 2: Do not leave any perishable items in the car, and use a car cover when parking outdoors for a long time to protect the vehicle; 3: Do not park under trees or buildings.
