7th generation Camry complies with the China IV emission standard, which generally refers to the National Phase IV Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard. Taking the 2013 7th generation Camry as an example, here are its specifications: 1. The 7th generation Camry is a mid-size sedan with body dimensions of 4825mm in length, 1825mm in width, 1480mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2775mm. 2. The 7th generation Camry is equipped with a 2.0L engine and a CVT continuously variable transmission. The engine delivers a maximum power of 131kW, a maximum horsepower of 148PS, and a maximum torque of 190Nm.

I've driven quite a few cars, including the seventh-generation Camry, which mainly adhered to the China IV emission standard. The seventh-gen Camry was produced from late 2011 to 2017, coinciding with the implementation period of China IV standards in China (approximately 2011-2017), so most models complied with this level. China IV was the mainstream standard at that time, helping vehicles pass annual inspections and avoid urban driving restrictions. I remember a Camry I bought in 2014 faced no restrictions when driving in Beijing, but if emission issues arose, it might require checking the catalytic converter or wiring. Emission standards not only relate to environmental protection but also affect the resale value of used cars - always check the environmental label to confirm the production year when purchasing. Regular maintenance helps maintain compliant emissions and prolongs vehicle lifespan. In summary, for average car owners, China IV-compliant vehicles offer worry-free operation and relatively easier maintenance.

As a car enthusiast, I’ve noticed that the seventh-generation Camry generally adheres to the China National IV emission standards, as it was produced between 2011 and 2017 when these regulations were dominant in China. The National IV standards required lower CO and NOx emissions compared to National III, helping to reduce air pollution. Toyota optimized the engine and exhaust system during design to meet these standards, which positively impacted vehicle performance. There might be slight variations among different model years of the seventh-gen Camry—for instance, early 2011 models may lean closer to National III—but the majority comply with National IV. The progression of emission upgrades reflects the automotive industry’s commitment to environmental protection, with National V and VI further raising the bar. I recommend fellow enthusiasts check their VIN or annual inspection reports to confirm the exact standard and maintain their vehicles in good condition.

I just checked the emission information for the seventh-generation Camry, which generally meets the China IV standard. The China IV standard was implemented around 2011, and Camry models produced before 2017 basically comply with it. When buying a used car, pay attention to the emission label to avoid driving restrictions. Simply put, China IV vehicles pass annual inspections more smoothly and can be used normally in most cities. Emission standards affect air quality and driving experience, so I regularly maintain the engine.

I have experience dealing with used Camry vehicles, where most seventh-generation Camrys meet the China IV emission standards, with production years ranging from 2011 to 2017. The China IV standard is crucial for the value of used cars as it determines whether they can circulate in cities with driving restrictions. Buyers often pay attention to this detail to avoid transfer hassles. Non-compliance with emission standards may increase maintenance costs, such as replacing the catalytic converter. It is advisable to check the environmental compliance report before selling to ensure adherence. The China IV standard is cleaner than older standards, emitting less during daily driving, making it a cost-effective choice. Proper maintenance can also enhance resale value.

Does the road adhesion decrease when driving in a tunnel?

Road adhesion does decrease when driving in a tunnel. The decrease in adhesion mainly refers to the impact of airflow within the tunnel on the vehicle, which reduces the friction between the tires and the road surface. Before entering a tunnel, there are traffic signs indicating width and height restrictions. Drivers must adhere to these warning signs. When passing through a culvert, it is necessary to reduce speed appropriately and check whether the vehicle's load height is within the permitted range indicated by the traffic signs. If necessary, get out of the vehicle to inspect and confirm before proceeding slowly. When approaching an uncontrolled single-lane tunnel, carefully observe both the inside of the tunnel and the entrance at the other end. If there are already vehicles inside the tunnel, take the initiative to stop and yield. If vehicles are about to enter from the other end, use high beams to signal. Once the oncoming vehicle enters the tunnel, stop immediately. If the other vehicle yields, proceed promptly. When within 50 meters of the tunnel entrance, turn on the headlights, width lights, and taillights, and check the speedometer to drive at the speed indicated by the tunnel entrance signs. Maintain a safe following distance to ensure sufficient space for avoiding hazards. Generally, a distance of over 100 meters should be kept when driving in a tunnel. For longer tunnels, follow the posted guidelines to maintain the appropriate safe driving distance. Avoid using high beams. Prolonged use of high beams at night can affect oncoming and preceding vehicles, as high beams can cause temporary blindness to drivers. The difference in light levels inside and outside the tunnel already makes it difficult for drivers to see, and the additional glare from high beams increases the risk of accidents. Therefore, high beams should be avoided.

How to Deal with Clear Coat Scratches on Cars?

After being scratched, especially if the scratch reaches the primer, it is advisable to go to a repair shop for touch-up painting as soon as possible, and avoid exposing the car body to rain to prevent rust. It is recommended to keep a touch-up pen of the same color for minor scratches in inconspicuous areas. Although there might be some color difference, it saves a lot of expenses. For scratches, you can cleverly cover them with car stickers or decorative plates, which is both cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing. Many insurance companies now offer zero-deductible policies, which you may consider purchasing. This way, any scratches can be directly taken to the repair shop.

What Causes Severe Vibration When the Air Conditioning is Turned On in a Buick Excelle?

Buick Excelle experiences severe vibration when the air conditioning is turned on due to a dirty throttle body and insufficient engine power. Insufficient engine power: When the engine power is low, high idle speed indicates that the compressor is working. When the compressor is not operating, the idle speed drops, and the steering wheel does not vibrate. When the air conditioning is turned on during normal driving, the increased load from the compressor causes the engine speed to decrease, resulting in noticeable vehicle vibration. To address this issue, manufacturers typically install an engine idle speed boost system for air conditioning. This system increases the engine speed to the required range when the air conditioning compressor is active. Dirty throttle body: A dirty throttle body affects engine performance. Turning on the air conditioning under these conditions further increases the engine idle load, leading to steering wheel vibration. Cleaning the throttle body can prevent this issue. The vibration caused by air conditioning use, based on current vehicle conditions, is likely due to a dirty throttle body. It is recommended to have it cleaned at a repair shop. According to current vehicle control technology and maintenance cases, this is a common issue. Throttle carbon buildup is primarily caused by the engine control unit's characteristics, as well as factors such as low temperatures, low-speed driving, short-distance trips, and frequent starts. The noise from the air conditioning system is normal compressor operation, and no other issues are likely present. The engine drives the air conditioning compressor to provide cooling, which is a heavy load for the engine. When the air conditioning is turned on, the engine must also power the compressor, leading to noticeable power loss and increased vibration. This effect is more pronounced at idle speed. Increasing the idle speed slightly may improve the situation, though it will result in higher fuel consumption.
