The differences between internal and external tire pressure monitoring are: 1. Price difference: Internal type is more expensive; External type is cheaper; 2. Installation time: Installing internal type takes more time and requires professionals to remove the tires; External type is simple to operate, car owners can manually replace it, which is simple and fast. The principle of internal and external tire pressure monitoring is the same, both use sensors on the wheels to detect and transmit signals via wireless transmitters to determine tire pressure. The so-called tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. When the tire pressure is too high, the vehicle's dynamic resistance is small and fuel consumption is low, but in emergency situations, sudden braking often fails to stop the car, or the braking distance is extended; When the tire pressure is too low, the vehicle's comfort is better, driving is quiet and smooth, but the rolling resistance is large and fuel consumption is high, and the vehicle is prone to standing waves and sudden tire bursts when driving at high speeds.

Does the new RAV4 have four-wheel drive?

Toyota RAV4 offers four-wheel drive versions. Here is an introduction about 4WD vehicles: Definition of 4WD: A 4WD vehicle features four-wheel drive with front and rear differential linkage. Since engine power is transmitted to all four wheels, each wheel can provide traction. In contrast, when one drive wheel slips in a conventional two-wheel drive vehicle, the other drive wheels also lose power. Advantages of 4WD: 4WD vehicles excel in off-road performance, capable of handling wilderness slopes, beaches, muddy terrain, and deserts with ease (though this also depends on the brand and quality of the vehicle). This unstoppable rugged style has won the affection of many car enthusiasts.

What are the precautions for drivers' summer driving safety?

Here are the precautions for drivers' summer driving safety: 1. Prevent fatigue driving: High temperatures and hot weather in summer, combined with long days and short nights, can lead to insufficient sleep or poor sleep quality for drivers. The stuffy weather, excessive sweating, and high energy consumption can easily cause fatigue, heatstroke, and other physical discomforts, which may trigger traffic accidents. 2. Prevent engine overheating: High ambient temperatures in summer make engines prone to overheating, which is one of the major safety hazards. It's essential to strengthen preventive measures and enhance the inspection and maintenance of the engine cooling system. 3. Prevent emotional agitation: The hot summer climate can easily make drivers irritable. When encountering special external situations (such as other vehicles squeezing or occupying lanes), they may become overly agitated.

What are the yielding rules when entering and exiting a roundabout?

The driving rules for roundabouts are as follows: 1. Incoming yields to outgoing: Vehicles entering the roundabout must yield to those exiting. 2. Outer yields to inner: Vehicles on the outer lane must yield to those on the inner lane. 3. Turning yields to going straight: Vehicles making turns must yield to those going straight. 4. Orderly sequence, small yields to large: Rear vehicles must yield to front vehicles, and smaller vehicles must yield to larger ones. 5. Use turn signals: Before entering the roundabout, if a vehicle intends to enter the left lane inside the roundabout, it should activate the left turn signal to alert other vehicles; before exiting, the vehicle should signal right in advance, confirm safety, and then change lanes from the inner lane to exit the roundabout.

Is a Wheel Alignment Necessary After Replacing New Tires?

Replacing tires does not require a wheel alignment. Here are the details: 1. Changing the rims and tires only affects the overall dynamic balance of the wheels and does not alter the suspension geometry. Replacing rims and tires merely changes the properties and balance of the wheels, whereas wheel alignment pertains to the suspension's properties. Therefore, as long as the tire size remains consistent, a wheel alignment is unnecessary regardless of whether the tires have been replaced. 2. The installation positions of the vehicle's four wheels, steering wheels, and front and rear axles are fixed according to the manufacturer's standards. Adjusting and restoring these positions is what constitutes a wheel alignment.

What's the reason for the Toyota Highlander AWD malfunction and failure to start?

Toyota Highlander AWD malfunction and failure to start reasons: The Toyota Highlander AWD malfunction is due to a four-wheel drive system failure. The following are the AWD characteristics: 1. The engine's output power goes through the transmission, then to the drive shaft, and then to the rear differential to distribute power to the two rear wheels. 2. At the same time as going through the transmission, power is also transmitted via the front wheel output shaft to the two front wheels. The power transmission method is a full-time working type that constantly delivers power to the wheels. 3. During cornering, AWD maintains the most coordinated driving force on all four wheels, reducing the tendency for the rear wheels to skid and understeer during cornering, demonstrating precise cornering characteristics and ease of control.
