When TC appears on a car, it indicates that the Traction Control System is active. During braking on slippery roads or rapid acceleration when starting, wheels are prone to skidding or even losing directional control, which can be dangerous. To address such safety concerns, the Traction Control System was developed, relying on the electronic sensors of the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). When the Traction Control System detects that the speed of the driven wheels is lower than that of the driving wheels, indicating wheel skid, it sends a feedback signal to the car's system. The car's system then adjusts the ignition timing, reduces the throttle opening, decreases the throttle, downshifts, or applies the brakes to prevent wheel skidding.

What to Do When the BMW 5 Series Trunk Won't Open?

Reasons why the BMW 5 Series trunk won't open are as follows: 1. Linkage rod or lock cylinder issue, not unlocked. 2. Mechanical component failure. Methods to open the trunk are as follows: 1. Key remote control—simply press the trunk opening button on the car key. Some models may not have a trunk opening button on the remote key; in such cases, pressing the unlock button will also release the trunk. For models equipped with a smart key, as long as the remote key is within a certain range, pressing the switch on the trunk will directly open it. 2. Control switch button method—the button location varies depending on the manufacturer and model. 3. Other opening methods—if the model is not equipped with a button or lever, it means the trunk is linked with the door lock. Simply unlock the central control, and the trunk can be opened from the rear.

How to Coordinate the Throttle and Clutch?

Here are the methods for coordinating the throttle and clutch: 1. During the starting phase, place the gear in neutral. After starting, depress the clutch pedal, shift the gear lever into 1st gear, and slowly release the clutch while coordinating with the accelerator pedal to ensure a smooth start. 2. The two key operations for coordinating the clutch and throttle are applying the throttle fully at once and reaching the clutch engagement point fully at once. The throttle should be applied slightly before reaching the engagement point. 3. Note: Always fully depress the clutch pedal before shifting gears. When depressing the clutch pedal, the accelerator pedal should be released quickly. If the gear does not shift smoothly, first release the clutch, depress it again, and then shift. Never force the gear shift.

Has Toyota Resolved the Engine Oil Emulsification Issue?

Toyota has largely resolved the engine oil emulsification issue. Currently, the problem of engine oil emulsification in Toyota vehicles has been mostly addressed. The Toyota Motor Group has recalled all affected vehicles for centralized inspection and repair, effectively resolving the issue of engine oil emulsification. Below is relevant information about engine oil: Functions of Engine Oil: Engine oil lubricates and reduces friction in the engine, aids in cooling, seals against leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and provides shock absorption. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of a car. Choosing the right engine oil and changing it regularly can maintain the engine in good condition and extend its lifespan. Selecting Engine Oil: When choosing engine oil, the most expensive option isn't necessarily the best. Instead, the selection should be based on the characteristics of the car's engine and the driver's habits. Engine oil can also be categorized based on seasonal use—winter and summer. For winter, the primary consideration is the low-temperature viscosity grade, while in summer, due to higher temperatures, choosing an oil with a better low-temperature viscosity grade is unnecessary.
