As a Highlander Hybrid owner, I've been driving this SUV for over half a year. Its hybrid system means it uses both a gasoline engine and an electric motor to power the vehicle. At startup, it usually operates in pure electric mode, running quietly with no noise; when accelerating, the engine kicks in to assist, with a smooth transition that doesn't affect the driving feel; during braking, the motor reverses to generate electricity, recycling energy. My daily commute in city traffic results in a fuel consumption of only around 6L per 100km, significantly lower than the 8-10L typical of conventional gasoline vehicles. On weekend long-distance highway drives, the engine operates efficiently with electric assistance reducing the load, making it both fuel-efficient and reliable overall. Toyota calls this system Hybrid Synergy Drive, which intelligently balances gasoline and electric power, doesn't require plug-in charging, automatically recharges, and has strong battery durability—I haven't needed to replace it in years. The car is quiet and comfortable, suitable for commuting or traveling. Although the initial purchase price is slightly higher, the savings on fuel costs are substantial.

Is the recirculation light on or off?

The recirculation light is on. Here is relevant information about recirculation: Function of recirculation: The purpose of the air conditioning recirculation mode is to prevent outside air from entering the vehicle. When the outside temperature is very high or very low, selecting the air recirculation mode allows the AC system to operate in this mode for a short time to quickly lower or raise the interior temperature. Switching recirculation mode: If equipped with an air quality sensor, when the system detects an increase in the concentration of harmful substances in the outside air, it will immediately activate the air recirculation mode automatically to prevent outside air from being drawn into the vehicle. Once the concentration of harmful substances in the outside air drops to normal levels, the system will automatically deactivate the air recirculation mode, allowing fresh air to enter the vehicle again.

How many days after successful appointment for Subject 2 can the test be taken?

Subject 2 can be scheduled as soon as 3-5 days after a successful appointment, and candidates will receive a corresponding SMS notification. Here are the precautions for Subject 2: Overcoming nervousness: Nervousness can impair a student's judgment and thinking ability. Some students may even tremble with anxiety. The most common mistake when nervous is during the start-up phase. Failing at the start accounts for 80% of failures, often due to nervousness—either poor clutch control or forgetting to release the handbrake. Mindset plays a decisive role. Daily practice: If you frequently make mistakes at a certain test point during daily practice, you should reinforce your training to avoid repeating the same mistake during the actual test. Familiarizing with the test site: Make thorough preparations. Most people need to familiarize themselves with the test site. It's crucial to know which segment of the road corresponds to the voice prompt's test point. Many people fail because they are unfamiliar with the site, so ensure you are well-prepared before the test.

What Causes Motorcycles to Be Hard to Start in Winter?

Motorcycles are hard to start in winter due to prolonged gasoline storage and poor gasoline atomization. The details are as follows: Prolonged gasoline storage: Gasoline is a volatile substance. If it has been stored in the carburetor float chamber for a long time, it becomes difficult to ignite. If the motorcycle is hard to start, you can try loosening the drain screw at the bottom of the carburetor to drain the old gasoline from the float chamber through the drain tube, while allowing fresh gasoline from the fuel tank to refill the float chamber. Poor gasoline atomization: In cold weather, poor gasoline atomization makes it difficult to start the engine. At this time, increasing the fuel supply can help raise the concentration of the air-fuel mixture. Owners can try removing the spark plug and directly dripping a small amount of gasoline to forcibly increase the fuel supply. This method is somewhat simple and crude, but it is very effective.

Can Temporary License Plates Still Be Used After Obtaining Permanent Ones?

After obtaining permanent license plates for a vehicle, temporary license plates can still be used. Below is the detailed process for obtaining temporary license plates for a new car: Inspection and Submission of Documents: It is necessary to pay the vehicle purchase tax, obtain insurance for the new car, and undergo criminal investigation inspection. Then, non-exempt vehicles must pass the line inspection, pay fees, fill out forms, take rubbings and photos, and collect the documents required for license plate registration. Signing and Receiving the Receipt: Documents need to be submitted at the vehicle management office, where the owner signs, and the police conduct an external inspection and confirmation of the vehicle. Finally, select the license plate number, receive the receipt, affix the license plate, install the plate, and obtain the vehicle registration certificate and the driving license. Validity Period: The temporary movement permit is generally valid for 3 days, while the temporary license plate is usually valid for 30 days. The maximum period from purchasing a new car to officially registering it is generally 3 months. If this period is exceeded, a certain late fee must be paid as per regulations. The timing of registration after purchasing a car is entirely at the discretion of the owner.

Which is Better, China 5 or China 6?

Of course, China 6 is better. If you are buying a car now and don't plan to use it for a long time, you can opt for a China 5 model, as China 5 cars are currently cheaper. However, if you intend to use the car for an extended period, it's better to choose a China 6 model. Here is an introduction to the China 5 and China 6 emission standards: China 5 Emission Standard: The carbon monoxide emissions per kilometer driven must not exceed 1000 milligrams; non-methane hydrocarbon emissions per kilometer driven must not exceed 68 milligrams; nitrogen oxide emissions per kilometer driven must not exceed 60 milligrams; and PM (particulate matter) emissions per kilometer driven must not exceed 4.5 milligrams. China 6 Emission Standard: The carbon monoxide emissions per kilometer driven are limited to 500 milligrams; nitrogen oxide emissions per kilometer driven are limited to 35 milligrams; PM emissions per kilometer driven are limited to 3 milligrams; and non-methane hydrocarbon emissions per kilometer driven are limited to 35 milligrams. Additionally, the testing cycles differ, comprehensively assessing vehicle emissions during cold starts, acceleration and deceleration, and high-speed, high-load conditions. This covers a broader range of engine operating conditions and imposes higher requirements on vehicle emission control performance.
