MHEV is actually a mild hybrid model, while PHEV is a plug-in hybrid model. The following are the differences between MHEV and PHEV: 1. Difference one: Plug-in hybrid PHEV can be charged externally, while hybrid MHEV cannot. 2. Difference two: Plug-in hybrid PHEV has a relatively large battery capacity, can drive in pure electric mode and tends to rely on electric power. When the battery is depleted, it switches to hybrid mode with the internal combustion engine as the main power source. In contrast, hybrid MHEV has a very small battery capacity, and only supplies/recycles energy during start-stop or acceleration/deceleration.

What are the precautions for beginners driving on the highway?

Precautions for beginners driving on the highway include: 1. Beginners must pay attention to traffic rules and display a novice driver sign. If you are a beginner, please adhere to traffic regulations and attach a novice driver sign at the back of your car. This will alert other drivers, who will likely be more lenient towards you. 2. For your first time on the highway, it is advisable to have an experienced driver accompany you. 3. Conduct a vehicle inspection before entering the highway. A pre-trip vehicle check is essential, especially for tires, brakes, spare tires, water, oil, etc. 4. Pay attention to speed limits and minimum speeds on the highway. It's important to understand the speed limits on the highway. It's not necessary to drive at the maximum speed limit, but beginners should be particularly mindful of the minimum speed. Every highway has a minimum speed, so never drive below it, as it can be as dangerous as speeding. 5. Lane selection matters. If there are two lanes, drive in the leftmost lane. Beginners usually don't reach the maximum speed limit, so frequently check the rearview mirror. If someone is overtaking you, safely move aside to let them pass. 6. Do not hesitate when overtaking on the highway. The shorter the overtaking time, the safer it is. You might slightly exceed the speed limit during overtaking, but don't worry. The car's speedometer typically shows 5% lower than the actual speed, so even exceeding the limit by 10% during overtaking is safe. 7. Avoid driving behind large vehicles or letting them follow you. 8. When exiting the highway, merge early. Upon seeing exit signs indicating 1.5km or 1km ahead, merge into the outermost lane in preparation for exiting.

What does PWD mean on a car?

PWD on a car stands for Power Mode. Here are the relevant details: 1. This Power Mode toggle button is mostly found on Toyota off-road models. While driving, if you want to enhance the car's power, you can switch to Power Mode at any time. After switching to Power Mode, the engine's RPM will instantly increase, and the throttle response will become faster. Generally, the engine RPM will remain in a relatively high range. 2. After switching to Power Mode, the engine operates at high power output, which can increase driving pleasure. It's important to note that while Power Mode improves engine performance, it also increases fuel consumption. During normal driving, Power Mode is generally not used; it is typically only engaged when overtaking or driving uphill. 3. Using Power Mode can quickly increase the engine load, causing the engine temperature to rise instantly, which helps clean carbon deposits inside the engine. However, it is not recommended to use Power Mode continuously, as it increases the transmission load and temperature, leading to more severe wear on both the engine and transmission.

What are the causes and solutions for a blown main car fuse?

There are 5 main reasons for a blown car fuse, as detailed below: 1. Washing the engine compartment with water: When cleaning the engine compartment, since the fuse box is not perfectly sealed, never rinse it directly with water as this can easily cause a short circuit in the fuse, leading to failure of the entire vehicle's electrical components. Most fuse boxes have clear icons prohibiting water rinsing. If the fuse box is dirty, gently wipe it with a damp cloth. 2. Installing high-power headlights: After modifying headlights, the increased power can easily blow the fuse. It's advisable to promptly replace it with a higher-current fuse and power cables to prevent overheating due to excessive current. 3. Using high-power devices like cigarette lighters: The cigarette lighter fuse is particularly prone to blowing. Generally, cigarette lighters use fuses rated between 15-25A. Since the vehicle voltage is 12V, it's recommended that devices connected to the cigarette lighter do not exceed 300W, and for some smaller cars, not more than 200W. High-power devices like car refrigerators and air pumps should preferably avoid drawing power from the cigarette lighter. 4. Installing high-power audio systems: High-power audio systems can also blow fuses. When installing high-power electrical devices, always pay attention to the current requirements and replace the corresponding fuse accordingly.

Why Does the Exhaust Make a Popping Sound?

Mainly caused by poor valve sealing. Functions of the car exhaust pipe: Vibration damping, noise reduction, facilitating installation, and extending the lifespan of the exhaust muffler system. Its primary material is stainless steel. The car exhaust bellows, also known as the car exhaust flexible pipe, is installed in the exhaust pipe between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler, providing a flexible connection for the entire exhaust system. The exhaust pipe connects external elements to the interior of the car, primarily expelling waste gases from the car's interior. Precautions for the car exhaust pipe: The car exhaust pipe is installed between the engine exhaust pipe and the muffler, linking the entire exhaust system together. Its main functions are to reduce vibration and noise, and to some extent, extend the lifespan of the exhaust muffler. Therefore, do not neglect maintenance just because the exhaust pipe is exposed externally. Maintaining the exhaust pipe is essentially a form of maintenance for the car's internal system.
