Super white is ordinary white paint, while pearl white is mixed with pearl powder, equivalent to metallic paint, but with higher costs. More details are as follows: 1. Classification of white car paint: Generally divided into ordinary white, ivory white, pearl white, etc. The so-called pearl white adds a layer of pearl paint between the color paint and the clear paint, with mica as its main component. 2. Mica: Mica is a dioctahedral calcium layered silicate mineral, often found in aluminum-rich deposits, recognized as a standard metamorphic rock-forming mineral from low to medium-grade metamorphic rocks. When mica pigments containing titanium dioxide and iron oxide are added to the paint base, light reflects off the titanium dioxide and iron oxide first when it hits the mica particles, then refraction occurs inside the mica particles.

How to Turn on the Sagitar's Low Beam?

The lever on the left side of the steering wheel controls the turn signals and also serves as the switch for the high and low beams. Pushing the lever upward turns on the low beam, while pushing it downward activates the high beam. When in the low beam position, lifting the lever upward again will switch to the high beam, but this is a momentary switch—releasing it will revert to the low beam. Below are detailed instructions for operating the Sagitar's lever: 1. To switch between left and right turn signals, move the lever up or down. Pulling the lever toward yourself activates the headlight flasher. Holding the lever in this position keeps the headlight flasher on, and the high beam indicator on the dashboard will light up. Pushing the lever away from yourself turns on the high beam, and the high beam indicator on the dashboard will illuminate. 2. The light switch and beam height adjustment button are located on the left side of the instrument panel. To turn off the headlights, rotate the knob to the 0 position. Turning it to other positions will turn on the parking lights, headlights, or front/rear fog lights. The beam height can be adjusted according to the vehicle's load—the higher the load, the higher the beam should be to avoid blinding oncoming drivers. If weather or lighting conditions make it difficult to see the road, do not drive with only the parking lights on, as their brightness is insufficient to illuminate the road ahead, making it hard for other drivers to see your vehicle.

Is Lexus Extended Warranty Worth Buying?

It is not necessary to purchase the extended warranty service, as Lexus boasts high reliability and convenient after-sales maintenance. Below is an introduction to Lexus: 1. Lexus Sold in China: 90% of the Lexus vehicles sold in China are produced at the Kyushu Plant in Fukuoka, Japan. There are only two Toyota-certified plants worldwide, and the Kyushu Plant is one of them. 2. Lexus Production Time: At the Kyushu Plant, it takes a total of 19 hours to complete the production of a Lexus vehicle, from the initial stamping to the final assembly and inspection of nearly 30,000 parts. The painting process alone takes about 10 hours, while assembly and inspection take approximately 5 hours. 3. All Lexus Models Are Produced to A-Grade Standards: Toyota internally categorizes its production standards into four grades: A, B, C, and D, with D being the lowest. Vehicles produced to D-grade standards include all of Toyota's compact cars and some large vehicles supplied to the U.S. market, such as the Yaris series, Vios series, and Highlander. The C-grade standard applies to Toyota's mainstream models, such as the Camry and Avalon. The B-grade standard is used for the Crown, while the A-grade standard is reserved for the Crown Majesta and all Lexus models.

What are the precautions for inspecting a car when buying one?

When picking up and inspecting a car at a 4S store, pay attention to both checking the vehicle and verifying the documents. Below are the relevant introductions about car pickup inspection: 1. Check the engine: After cold-starting the engine, let it warm up for about 2 minutes. If the engine sound is steady without any strange noises, take a short test drive to ensure there are no unusual noises when shifting gears, no abnormal sounds from the body, and that electronic devices like the air conditioning and audio system function normally. 2. Check the body: The paintwork of a new car is sprayed by computer automation and should be flawless. If there is uneven protection or color difference in the car's paint, insist that the 4S store replace the vehicle. The interior of the car should also be free of any defects. After turning on the power, all functions of the vehicle must be checked and must work properly, such as the navigation, wipers, headlights, etc. Check if all buttons are flexible and functional, and if the headlights can be turned on normally.

Do You Need to Wait for the Traffic Light When Turning Left?

You need to wait for the traffic light when turning left. During a red light, left turns are prohibited. Unless otherwise specified, U-turns are allowed. During a green light, if there is no sign prohibiting left turns, you can turn left, and the rules for U-turns are the same as for left turns. In the case of a circular traffic light, you can turn left during a green light, but you must yield to vehicles going straight. At intersections with arrow traffic lights, you should turn left when the left-turn arrow is green. If there is a sign prohibiting left turns at the intersection, left turns are not allowed at any time. According to the newly issued "Notice on Motor Vehicle Drivers Handling Traffic Accidents Quickly and Independently," drivers should resolve accidents quickly and move their vehicles to the roadside to prevent traffic congestion. If a driver fails to resolve an accident independently and causes traffic congestion, they will be fined and receive 3 penalty points. There are two rules for entering the left-turn waiting area: Generally, the first scenario occurs when the left-turn lane is mixed with the straight lane, while the second scenario is more common for independent left-turn lanes. Usually, there are clear signs on the traffic signal poles, so drivers just need to pay a little attention while driving. Vehicles can only enter the left-turn waiting area when the straight light is green and the electronic sign prompts "Please enter the waiting area." Otherwise, it will be considered running a red light, and the driver will be fined and receive 6 penalty points.

What are the reasons for being unable to shift gears after starting a manual transmission car?

The reasons for being unable to shift gears after starting a manual transmission car are as follows: 1. P gear: The P gear lock solenoid valve is faulty. For safety reasons, to prevent the car from accidentally shifting into other gears when starting, there is this P gear solenoid valve, which needs to receive the signal from the brake pedal to release. Therefore, these two components are related, and if any one of them fails, it will prevent the gear lever from being pushed out of P gear and shifted into other gears. 2. Gear lever: There is a fault inside the gear lever assembly, and the gears inside the gear lever are worn, causing the gear lever to get stuck. It becomes very difficult to push and pull, leading to the inability to shift gears or difficulty in shifting. 3. Clutch: The clutch does not fully disengage, which may be caused by faults in the clutch disc and clutch pressure plate. Generally, this requires replacing the clutch three-piece set (friction disc, pressure plate, and release bearing). 4. Transmission oil: The presence of debris in the transmission oil affects the shifting speed of manual transmission cars. Regarding the sudden inability to shift gears in a manual transmission car, the problem is relatively complex, and it is recommended that the owner go to a professional repair shop for inspection and repair.

How many liters of transmission fluid does the Teana need?

Teana transmission fluid generally requires 4L-5.5L. Below is relevant information: 1. Replacement interval: Manual transmissions typically require transmission fluid replacement every 60,000 kilometers, with the amount depending on the vehicle model and replacement method. When replacing automatic transmission fluid, the old fluid is drained by removing the transmission pan screw, and new fluid is added, which only replaces about 70% of the old fluid. 2. Classification: Transmission fluids are categorized into manual and automatic transmission fluids due to different transmission designs. Each transmission design has specific technical requirements, and even the same transmission model configured in different vehicles may require different original manufacturer-specified transmission fluids.
