Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) primarily serves to reduce nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases and can improve fuel economy under partial load conditions. There are various forms and control methods for the EGR system. Based on the actuation control method of the system's actuator (EGR valve), it can be categorized into mechanically controlled EGR systems and electronically controlled EGR systems. According to the control object of the EGR valve, it can be divided into directly controlled EGR systems and indirectly controlled EGR systems. Below is relevant information about Exhaust Gas Recirculation: 1. Introduction to Exhaust Gas Recirculation: Exhaust Gas Recirculation is a technology (or method) used in small internal combustion engines for automobiles, where a portion of the exhaust gases is recirculated and reintroduced into the intake side after combustion. The main objectives are to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust gases and to enhance fuel economy under partial load conditions. It is commonly referred to by the acronym 'EGR', derived from the initial letters of each English word. 2. Types of EGR Systems: Mechanically controlled EGR system, Electronically controlled EGR system, Directly controlled EGR system, Indirectly controlled EGR system, Single-valve controlled EGR system, Multi-valve controlled EGR system, Open-loop controlled EGR system, Closed-loop controlled EGR system.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Toyota C-HR in liters?

C-HR hybrid version has a fuel tank capacity of 43 liters, while the gasoline version of the Toyota C-HR has a 50L tank. The CHR requires 92-octane fuel. The hybrid version has a fuel consumption of 4.5L per 100 kilometers, allowing a range of 955km on a full tank. The gasoline version consumes 5.7L per 100 kilometers, with a range of 877km on a full tank. During daily driving, it's important to always monitor the remaining fuel level. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments. It's advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. In actual refueling situations, 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 the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount may exceed the marked capacity.

What Causes Oil in the Engine Radiator?

Reasons for oil in the engine radiator: 1. Cylinder head gasket failure; 2. Issues with the transmission cooler; 3. Overheating problems; 4. Damaged cylinder head gasket causing oil and coolant passages to connect; 5. Oil pressure being higher than coolant pressure, allowing oil to enter the coolant passages and then the radiator; 6. Air bubbles escaping from the coolant surface in the radiator, causing coolant to flow into the oil passages and then into the oil pan after shutdown. Methods to address oil in the car radiator: 1. Disconnect the overflow tank and turn off the heater; 2. Start the vehicle and let it idle until the engine warms up, then flush the radiator opening with a water hose until no significant oil traces remain; 3. Turn off the engine, open the radiator drain valve, and once water starts flowing, restart the engine while continuing to add water to the radiator opening to allow circulation for about 5 minutes, then stop the engine and cease adding water. After all water drains from the radiator, close the drain valve and refill; 4. Start the car without covering the engine hood, and after warming up, check the radiator opening for oil traces. If none are found, the method is effective; 5. Reconnect the overflow tank and replace the antifreeze as needed.

Does Parking Without Locking the Car Consume Battery?

Parking without locking the car does consume battery. Below are the reasons why not locking the car drains the battery and some precautions for battery usage. Reasons for battery drain when not locking the car: If the car is not locked, it will not enter sleep mode. Sensors such as the anti-theft alarm, warning lights, BCM module, and door sensors will continue to operate, accelerating the battery discharge rate. In severe cases, this can lead to significant battery depletion, causing the vehicle to fail to start and the battery to become irreparably damaged. Precautions for battery usage: Before turning off the engine, ensure all electrical devices like lights, air conditioning, reading lights, and windows are completely turned off. Always make sure the doors are properly closed when locking the car. For long-term parking, periodically start the car to recharge the battery.

What does L1 in car autonomous driving represent?

L1 in car autonomous driving represents driver assistance, which enables the vehicle to operate a very limited number of functions, such as acceleration/deceleration or steering, while the remaining functions still require the driver to operate. At the L1 level, the autonomous driving system can assist the driver with certain driving tasks, such as anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC), which are applications of the L1 level. Autonomous driving refers to the collaboration of artificial intelligence, visual computing, radar, monitoring devices, and global positioning systems to allow the computer to operate the vehicle automatically and safely without any active human intervention.

How to use the Toyota RAV4 four-wheel drive?

Toyota RAV4 four-wheel drive usage method: The vehicle's four-wheel drive is an on-demand system, which automatically switches between four-wheel drive and front-wheel drive based on the vehicle's computer, without requiring manual adjustment. The car normally operates in two-wheel drive mode. When the onboard computer detects wheel slippage, it transfers power to the rear wheels. If the driving speed exceeds 40 kilometers per hour, the four-wheel drive will automatically disengage. There is a button on the center console to manually turn off the four-wheel drive system. The Toyota RAV4 is the base model in Toyota's compact multi-purpose off-road vehicle family, with dimensions of 4265 mm in length, 1785 mm in width, and 1705 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2660 mm.
