In hot weather, tire pressure should be adjusted to the lower limit of the standard tire pressure for your car. When parked outdoors in summer, the pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Normal tire pressure reference standards: According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, standard tires should have a pressure of around 2.4-2.5 bar, while reinforced tires should be around 2.8-2.9 bar. In winter, the standard tire pressure can be slightly increased by about 0.2 bar. When the car is unloaded or half-loaded, adjust the tire pressure to the lower limit of the standard; when fully loaded, adjust it to the upper limit. On rough roads, it is advisable to reduce the tire pressure by 0.1-0.2 bar from the standard. Daily tire pressure precautions: Most cars are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system that alerts drivers to leaks or abnormal tire pressure to ensure driving safety. Pay attention to the tire pressure monitoring light on the dashboard—both excessively low and high tire pressure can affect driving performance and increase tire wear.

What are the causes of oil dripping from the exhaust pipe?

The reason for oil dripping from the exhaust pipe may be due to faults in the piston, cylinder liner, piston pin, or piston rings. In this case, it is necessary to locate the damaged part and replace it. It could also be caused by severe wear or poor sealing between the valve stem and valve guide, resulting in excessive clearance that leads to oil leakage, which requires timely repair. Some vehicle models may have inherent design defects that cause oil dripping from the exhaust pipe, but this generally does not cause significant issues. If the oil dripping from the exhaust pipe is severe, it is definitely abnormal and requires prompt inspection and repair to avoid more serious problems such as vehicle breakdown.

How many kilometers should the brake fluid of a Toyota Corolla be replaced?

Corolla brake fluid should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. The following is extended content: Introduction to brake fluid: Brake fluid, also known as hydraulic brake fluid, is a functional liquid that transmits pressure in the vehicle's braking system to enable the braking action of the wheel's braking system. Introduction to Corolla: The Corolla is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 4635mm, width 1780mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase of 2700mm, and fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The Corolla is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine and CVT continuously variable transmission, with a maximum power of 85 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 185 Newton-meters. Its drive system is front-wheel drive, with front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and rear suspension using E-type multi-link independent suspension.

What is the normal vehicle temperature?

Vehicle temperature is normal between 80°C and 90°C. The car engine requires a certain operating temperature for normal operation, and temperatures that are too high or too low are not conducive to the normal operation and performance of the engine. On the other hand, the heat generated by the engine's operation is difficult to meet the demand with conventional air cooling, so water cooling is widely adopted in car engines. The car's water temperature gauge usually displays two letters, C and H, or uses white and red zones to indicate temperature. C stands for cold, and H stands for hot. If the water temperature gauge approaches the H or red danger zone, and in severe cases, the water temperature warning light comes on, it indicates that the engine coolant temperature is too high. The water temperature gauge does not display the temperature of water but rather the temperature of the antifreeze.

Will scraping the car chassis on a step cause damage?

Whether scraping the car chassis on a step causes damage requires case-by-case analysis. Generally, as long as the chassis guard plate is not damaged or broken, it will not affect the chassis. If the vehicle does not have a chassis guard plate and the chassis is scraped, at best the chassis may corrode and rust, and at worst it may damage structural components of the chassis such as the exhaust, suspension, transmission, and steering systems. The car chassis consists of four parts: the transmission system, running system, steering system, and braking system. Its function is to support and install the car engine and its various component assemblies, form the overall shape of the car, receive the power from the engine, enable the car to move, and ensure normal driving.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Teana in liters?

The currently available Teana has 6 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 61.3 liters. The vehicle is equipped with two types of engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. All models come with either a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 8 gears) or a CVT continuously variable transmission. All models feature front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration. Among vehicles in the same class, the 2021 Teana has a fuel tank capacity of 61.3 liters, the 2021 Camry has a 60-liter fuel tank, and the 2022 Passat has a 68.5-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel might exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.
