The Highlander Hybrid's all-wheel-drive system is quite interesting. It doesn't have a traditional driveshaft, and the rear wheels are powered by independent electric motors. During normal driving, it feels similar to a two-wheel-drive vehicle—quiet and fuel-efficient. But the system is very smart. For example, on rainy or snowy days when the front wheels slip slightly, the rear wheels' power kicks in instantly, as if someone is giving you a steady push from behind. The key is that no additional operation is required; there isn't even an AWD switch button next to the steering wheel. During our family's ski trip over the New Year, when driving on mountain roads with hidden ice, I could clearly feel the wheels adjusting their grip on their own, making the drive much more reassuring. By the way, the battery is hidden under the rear seats, so the trunk space remains just as spacious, and camping gear still fits perfectly.

Reasons Why Windshield Wipers Do Not Reset

About the reasons why windshield wipers do not reset are introduced as follows: 1. Working principle of windshield wipers: The working principle of windshield wipers is that the motor controls the rotation of the external knob through wires. 2. Windshield wipers do not reset, check whether the motor is working normally: After determining the fault, turn off the windshield wiper motor, then turn it on again, and check whether the motor is running normally. If it is normal, the motor fault can be ruled out. 3. Whether the windshield wiper is stuck or broken: If the motor is not the problem, it is necessary to check whether the wiper is broken or stuck. 4. Whether the hardware is not lubricated enough, resulting in excessive friction: Excessive friction prevents the spring from automatically returning to its original position, and then apply lubricating oil on the surface of the card.

How to Adjust the Time on a Dash Cam?

Adjusting the time and date on a dash cam is relatively simple. Most dash cams have a menu button. Simply navigate through the menu by clicking Menu > Settings > Time to enter the time adjustment interface. After making the necessary changes, press the return button to go back to the main page. If the time is not synchronized correctly, it is usually due to the following reasons: 1. Dead Battery: If the battery is dead, the dash cam will not retain the time once it is turned off, causing the time to be out of sync. Replacing the battery usually solves this issue. However, for long-term use, it is best to power the dash cam through the car's electrical system, such as via the cigarette lighter or USB port. 2. Loop Recording Time Setting: If the loop recording time is set too short or too long, it can disrupt the internal system of the dash cam, leading to time synchronization issues. To fix this, simply set the loop recording time to an appropriate value, typically between 5 to 10 minutes.

Why Does the Car Brake Become Hard?

There are several reasons why a car brake becomes hard: 1. Vacuum-related issues: Factors affecting vacuum include cracks in the atmospheric valve seat, fatigue damage to the diaphragm, cracks or failure of the vacuum valve seat, and failure of the vacuum hose check valve. 2. Free travel issues: If the pedal has no free travel or very little free travel, it may lead to hard braking or excessive pedal force. 3. Jump value and jump point issues: The jump value is not only the main cause of hard braking but also a quantitative indicator of it. The size of the jump value is determined by the height of the jump point, and the initial pedal force sensation is also influenced by the height of the jump point.

How to solve the P0317 fault code on Excelle?

Here are the solutions for the P0317 fault code on Excelle: 1. Poor fuel quality or excessive engine carbon deposits leading to poor combustion conditions may trigger the fault light. Solution: Clean carbon deposits and replace engine oil. 2. Faulty oxygen sensor in the engine, which typically illuminates the engine fault light in yellow without affecting normal driving. Solution: Repair the oxygen sensor. 3. Clogged fuel injectors or intake valves with carbon buildup can trigger fault light warnings. Solution: Clean fuel injectors and intake valves. 4. If the issue is insufficient or deteriorated transmission fluid, worn/broken transmission bearings, bent transmission shafts, abnormal gear meshing, incorrect meshing clearance, or gear tooth surface peeling. Solution: When metallic dry friction sounds occur during driving and the transmission case feels hot to touch, this indicates insufficient lubrication or deteriorated oil. Refill or inspect fluid quality, replace if necessary.
