In automobiles, 'dual engine' represents a system where two engines work together to drive the vehicle. Models featuring dual engine technology include the Levin Hybrid, Corolla Hybrid, Toyota Prius, Roewe 550, and BYD Qin. Taking the 2020 Corolla Hybrid as an example, it is classified as a compact car with the following body dimensions: length 4635mm, width 1775mm, height 1470mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The 2020 Corolla Hybrid is equipped with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is powered by a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 99ps, maximum power of 73kw, and maximum torque of 142nm, paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission.

Does the vehicle need to undergo on-site inspection in the sixth year?

The vehicle in its sixth year requires on-site annual inspection. The six-year exemption from inspection refers to non-commercial passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats), which are exempt from on-site inspection within the first six years. Relevant information about vehicle annual inspection is as follows: 1. Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection (Vehicles-inspection), also known as motor vehicle inspection. The inspection items and scope vary depending on the nature of the vehicle's use. 2. Inspection items: According to the definition in RB/T218-2017 "Requirements for Qualification and Competence Assessment of Inspection and Testing Institutions - Motor Vehicle Inspection Institutions," motor vehicle inspection includes three categories: motor vehicle safety technical inspection, motor vehicle emission inspection, and comprehensive vehicle performance inspection.

How to Check Tire Pressure on XC60?

To check the tire pressure on an XC60, press the "MYCAR" button to enter the vehicle settings menu, then select "Tire Pressure" to view the readings. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring: Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation, with alerts for tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common methods of tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure data is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure for each tire. The system automatically alerts when tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When a tire's pressure decreases, the vehicle's weight causes that tire's rolling radius to reduce, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire alert systems essentially rely on calculating tire rolling radius to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system combines the advantages of both direct and indirect systems. It equips direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid approach reduces costs and overcomes the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as effectively as a full direct system.

What Should Be Noted for the First Car Maintenance?

Precautions for the first vehicle maintenance are as follows: 1. First maintenance time: It is calculated based on the vehicle pick-up date. 2. Mileage and time: Whichever comes first will be the determining factor. Exceeding either one will affect the warranty. It is worth mentioning that according to relevant regulations, exceeding the first maintenance date is considered as voluntarily waiving the right to the first maintenance. If the first maintenance is not performed, any future quality issues with the car will not be covered by the warranty. Therefore, car owners must pay attention to the dealer's reminders and should not miss the first maintenance deadline. 3. Maintenance cycle: Some cars require maintenance at just 2,000 kilometers, while others may go up to 8,000 kilometers. This variation is due to differences in the specific technical conditions of the vehicles. The engine has a break-in period with a new car, and different car makes, brands, or even models are equipped with engines of varying designs. Some engines are made of better materials with higher precision, resulting in relatively less wear; others may have higher requirements for engine oil, or even special requirements.

Is It Possible to Buy Stock Cars?

Stock cars can be purchased. Here is the relevant introduction about stock cars: 1. Definition of stock cars: Parallel imported vehicles take up to 3 months to arrive at the port from the time they leave the factory abroad to the time they are imported into the country, depending on the location of the foreign factory, such as the United States, Canada, Europe, or the Middle East. However, if there are delays in customs clearance at the port, the time will be even longer. Therefore, imported models that have been manufactured for more than 6 months are considered stock cars. 2. Techniques for identifying stock cars: The nameplate in the engine compartment will have the manufacturing year and month marked, and the length of time from now is the actual stock time of the vehicle.

Is It Advisable to Buy a Demo Car?

This type of vehicle can be considered for purchase. Below is an introduction to demo cars: 1. Introduction One: Whenever a manufacturer launches a new car model for sale, the 4S dealership must equip a demo car. On one hand, to leave a good impression on customers, demo cars often come with high configurations, usually being the top or second-top trim. On the other hand, selling high-trim models yields the highest profits. Therefore, during test drives, if consumers wish to try the lower trim or smaller engine variants, their requests often cannot be accommodated. 2. Introduction Two: The designated test drive mileage is usually not very long, typically just a few kilometers. Demo cars also have their operational lifespan, generally being replaced once a year.

At what voltage will a car fail to start?

When the open-circuit voltage of a car battery drops below 12.2V and the load voltage falls below 9.5V, the vehicle will be difficult to start or may not start at all. Car owners should regularly inspect their vehicle's battery during daily use. Precautions for car battery usage: 1. Monitor the battery's service life. If a car battery has been in use for more than 3 to 4 years, it should be replaced. Over time, the battery's ability to hold a charge diminishes, necessitating timely replacement. Prolonged use may lead to power depletion, preventing the vehicle from starting and affecting normal operation. 2. If the vehicle is left unused for an extended period, fully charge the battery beforehand. Start the vehicle once a month and drive at moderate speed for a while to recharge the battery. Long-term storage may cause power depletion. If possible, remove the battery and store it in a well-ventilated area with moderate temperature. 3. Limit each engine start attempt to 3-5 seconds to avoid damaging the battery. If the vehicle fails to start after several attempts, inspect the ignition system instead of repeatedly trying to start the engine.
