The fuel tank capacity of the 2012 Highlander is 72 liters, as officially announced. Owners of the 2012 Highlander can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2012 Highlander requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 9.9 to 12.1L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 595 to 727 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the fuel level. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is recommended to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to a safe level, leaving some space from the safe level to the tank opening. This extra space ensures that the fuel can expand safely when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked tank capacity.

Is it necessary to install front fog lights?

They can be installed, but during installation, ensure the wiring is as concealed as possible and prevent incorrect wiring that could cause battery self-discharge. Installing front fog lights does not affect annual vehicle inspections because cars are designed with provisions for front fog light installation, making it a legal modification. Below are relevant details: 1. Installation requirements: Many vehicles are purchased without fog lights, necessitating their installation. In severe weather conditions, fog lights play a crucial role. National regulations mandate that motor vehicles must be equipped with fog lights that comply with national standards; vehicles without properly installed rear fog lights are prohibited from entering highways. 2. Standards: According to the national standard GB-4785-2007 'Installation Requirements for Lighting and Light-Signaling Devices of Motor Vehicles and Trailers,' front fog lights are 'lamps used to improve road illumination in fog, snow, rain, or dusty conditions.' However, their installation is not compulsory, and no mandatory regulations for front fog lights are found in other related standards. Therefore, vehicles without front fog lights are not considered defective; otherwise, they would not have been approved for market release.

What does autonomous driving level L0 mean?

Autonomous driving level L0 is entirely operated and driven by the driver. Below is an introduction to autonomous driving levels: 1. L1 level: It can assist the driver in completing certain driving tasks, such as the adaptive cruise control (ACC) function installed in many models, which uses radar to control the distance between vehicles and adjust acceleration and deceleration in real-time. This feature is widely used in many domestic models. 2. L2 level: It can automatically complete certain driving tasks and, after processing and analysis, automatically adjust the vehicle's state. For example, Tesla's lane-keeping function belongs to this level. In addition to controlling acceleration and deceleration, it can also control the steering wheel. However, the driver must monitor the surrounding environment to ensure safe vehicle operation. 3. L3 level: This level uses more logical driving computers to control the vehicle. The driver does not need to keep hands and feet on standby, as the vehicle can independently complete driving operations in specific environments. However, the driver cannot sleep or rest and must still take over when the artificial intelligence cannot make accurate judgments.
