The Corolla COROLLA has been highly sought after by consumers since the release of its first generation in 1966. It has now evolved into its twelfth generation, with the recent launch of the hybrid version, the Corolla COROLLA Dual Hybrid. The first-generation Corolla was born in 1966: Toyota introduced the Corolla in 1966, equipping it with a larger 1.1-liter engine to surpass its competitors, the Datsun 1000 and Subaru 1000. The second-generation Corolla (1970-1974): The second generation improved comfort and overall driving experience while also increasing power. A new 1.2-liter OHV engine delivered 73 horsepower, and an automatic transmission was offered for the first time. The third-generation Corolla (1974-1979): The third-generation Corolla began incorporating higher-grade safety and comfort features, offering excellent value for money. The fourth-generation Corolla (1979-1983): The fourth-generation model underwent a redesign, featuring sharper contours and significant improvements in comfort. The fifth-generation Corolla (1983-1987): To meet the demands of the era, the fifth-generation Corolla switched to front-wheel drive, providing more space for those who needed it. The sixth-generation Corolla (1987-1991): The sixth-generation Corolla was dubbed the "most comfortable" generation (compared to its peers). The seventh-generation Corolla (1991-1995): The seventh-generation Corolla introduced the slogan "Big and Safe," excelling in both safety and spaciousness. The eighth-generation Corolla (1995-2000): To improve fuel efficiency, this generation reduced weight by 50kg (70kg for the coupe) while maintaining safety. Manual transmissions featured 4 or 5 gears, while automatic transmissions used 3 or 4-speed ECT-S gearboxes, along with resin components for lightweight design. The ninth-generation Corolla (2000-2006): Known as the "Corolla EX" in China, this generation saw major changes in exterior design and upgrades in interior styling, incorporating more curved elements. The eleventh-generation Corolla (2013-2019): Derived from the Toyota Furia concept, this generation emphasized interior quality but opted for Auris' design language rather than the RAV4's, significantly enhancing the driving experience. The twelfth-generation Corolla (2019-present): The new Corolla features a low-center-of-gravity design and a three-dimensional trapezoidal grille. The headlights connect to the slim upper grille, complemented by a bold single-color lower grille, making it more attractive.

What to Do If You Accidentally Filled 95 Gasoline with 92?

If your car requires 95 gasoline but you accidentally filled it with 92 gasoline, you can use gasoline additives that increase the octane rating. This will enhance the gasoline's stability and prevent engine knocking during operation. Note: Occasionally mixing 95 gasoline with 92 is not a major issue, but consistently using lower-grade gasoline in a high-grade vehicle can severely affect engine performance, leading to knocking. In severe cases, it may reduce the engine's lifespan and increase maintenance costs. Additional Information: Differences between 92 and 95 gasoline: 1. Different Isooctane Content: 92 gasoline consists of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. 2. Different Anti-Knock Properties: 95 gasoline has a higher isooctane content, providing better anti-knock performance. Different anti-knock properties suit engines with different compression ratios. High-compression engines require 95 gasoline, while low-compression engines can use 92 gasoline.

How Long Is the Shelf Life of Unopened Antifreeze?

Antifreeze has a shelf life of 2-3 years when unopened. Antifreeze Replacement Cycle: Vehicle antifreeze generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. This is just a reference cycle. For commercial vehicles with higher mileage, the replacement interval should be shorter. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement should be based on actual usage. Check the antifreeze's condition—if it is insufficient, replenish it promptly. If suspended particles, sediment, or signs of deterioration or discoloration are observed, replace the antifreeze immediately and flush the system. How to Choose Antifreeze: The key indicators for antifreeze are its freezing point and boiling point. Market-available antifreeze comes in specifications such as -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, and -40°C freezing points. Generally, choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region.

How to Determine if the Charcoal Canister is Damaged?

Methods to determine if the charcoal canister is damaged are as follows: 1. Remove the charcoal canister solenoid valve and blow air into the intake port with your mouth. If air does not pass through, the charcoal canister is not damaged. If air passes through, it indicates the charcoal canister is leaking and damaged. 2. While driving, there may be abnormal noises. If the engine speed is above 800 RPM and you hear a clicking sound, listen carefully to determine if the clicking is coming from the charcoal canister solenoid valve. If it is, there is no need to worry as it is a normal phenomenon. 3. If the car jerks when accelerating and the gasoline smell inside the car becomes stronger, check if the piping of the charcoal canister solenoid valve has cracked. 4. If the engine idle speed fluctuates regularly and the car struggles to accelerate, check if the air inlet and filter screen of the charcoal canister are clogged. 5. If the engine is difficult to start or suddenly stalls after being started with difficulty, it could also be due to a malfunction of the charcoal canister solenoid valve.

Does the vehicle going out of line in Subject 2 result in point deduction?

In the Subject 2 test, the vehicle going out of line results in a 100-point deduction. For reverse parking and parallel parking, if the vehicle body goes out of line, it directly results in a 100-point deduction. For right-angle turns and curve driving, if the wheels press against the road edge line, it also directly results in a 100-point deduction. In the Subject 2 steering judgment, there is no concept of 'brushing the line'; it only considers the vehicle body going out of line or the wheels pressing the line. Basically, 'brushing the line' can be understood as a situation where the vehicle body does not go out of line and the wheels do not press the line. Additional information: The Subject 2 test consists of five mandatory items: reverse parking, hill start, right-angle turns, parallel parking, and curve driving. For these five test items, failing any one of them means failing the entire Subject 2 test.

What happens if a car that requires 95 octane fuel is filled with 92 octane gasoline?

Occasionally using 92 octane gasoline in such a car won't cause significant issues, but prolonged use of 92 octane fuel may cause certain damage to the engine, and in severe cases, could lead to engine failure. The differences between 92 octane and 95 octane gasoline are as follows: 1. 92 octane gasoline refers to fuel with an octane rating of 92. 2. 95 octane gasoline refers to fuel with an octane rating of 95. 3. The chemical compositions used in both fuel types are quite similar, but 95 octane gasoline has higher fuel efficiency and provides more sufficient power for the vehicle. 4. Generally, naturally aspirated cars use 92 octane fuel, while turbocharged vehicles require 95 octane fuel.

What Causes Excessive Heat in a Motorcycle's Rear Wheel?

Here is an analysis of the reasons why a motorcycle's rear wheel may become excessively hot: 1. Prolonged Braking: Whether the rear wheel has a drum brake or disc brake, prolonged braking can cause the rear wheel to overheat. This is especially common with drum brakes due to their generally poorer heat dissipation. 2. Riding with the Brake On: Riding while keeping the brake engaged is equivalent to riding with the brake pedal pressed. This condition can easily cause the wheel to overheat, primarily due to brake system malfunctions or improper adjustment. 3. Bearing Damage: The rear wheel rotates smoothly mainly because of the bearings inside the hub. However, if these bearings lack lubrication, they may experience increased resistance or damage, causing the hub temperature to exceed the design standard. 4. Tire Overheating: If the tire pressure is insufficient, excessive deformation during operation can lead to overheating. This issue is related to the tire itself and has little to do with the wheel's mechanical structure.
