It can inform the driver about the surrounding obstacles through sound or more intuitive displays, alleviating the troubles caused by the driver's need to look around when parking, reversing, or starting the vehicle. It also helps eliminate blind spots and unclear vision, thereby enhancing driving safety. Below is an introduction to the functions of parking radar: 1. Front and rear parking radars provide significant assistance to drivers during parking and in congested traffic, while also helping to avoid unnecessary accidents. Therefore, front and rear parking radars are important safety assistance devices. When the gear lever is shifted into reverse, the reversing radar automatically starts working. When the sensor detects an object behind the vehicle, the buzzer issues a warning. As the vehicle continues to reverse, the frequency of the alarm sound gradually increases, eventually turning into a continuous tone. 2. The front radar, also known as front parking assist, is a safety assistance device for parking or reversing. It consists of ultrasonic sensors, a controller, and a display, among other components. It can inform the driver about the surrounding obstacles through sound or more intuitive displays, alleviating the troubles caused by the driver's need to look around when parking, reversing, or starting the vehicle. It also helps eliminate blind spots and unclear vision, thereby enhancing driving safety.

Can You Continue Driving When the Vehicle's Coolant Temperature is Too High on the Dashboard?

You should not continue driving when the vehicle's coolant temperature is too high on the dashboard. Continuing to drive can easily lead to increased mechanical wear of the engine, overheating and aging of the wiring, and even smoke or spontaneous combustion in the engine compartment. If there is a fault in the cooling system, it can easily cause the coolant to boil, and excessive internal pressure may result in the radiator cracking or pipes bursting. The following are the steps to handle excessive coolant temperature: 1. When the coolant temperature light turns red, you should pull over and stop driving as soon as possible to check the vehicle's condition. 2. Do not rush to open the radiator cap. Check if the cooling fan is running and look for signs of blockage or damage to the radiator. 3. After the vehicle's coolant temperature has decreased, open the radiator cap to release pressure. If you find the coolant level is low, you can add new coolant or distilled water as an emergency measure.

What does ECO mean in the Highlander?

ECO in the Highlander refers to the vehicle's economic driving mode. ECO is an English abbreviation derived from the combination of Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The Eco mode is further divided into active Eco driving mode and non-active Eco driving mode. When the ECO indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economic mode has been activated. ECO mode is categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has its own dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the ECO mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The non-active ECO mode does not have a dedicated button. When the ECO indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it merely serves as a reminder function. The ECO system automatically evaluates your driving behavior. If your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the ECO indicator light. Most vehicles employ the active ECO driving mode, meaning they have their own switch button. In daily driving, we can generally activate the ECO mode. However, it is unnecessary to enable ECO mode when driving at speeds exceeding 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not only fail to demonstrate the fuel-saving characteristics of ECO but also impact the vehicle's power performance. Additionally, the ECO mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the system prioritizes speed, causing the ECO mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking or when in N/P gear or manual mode, the ECO mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the ECO mode will not function in such scenarios.

What does it mean when the electronic power steering warning light comes on?

When the yellow "EPS" warning light or "steering wheel" shaped warning light illuminates on the dashboard, the following symptoms may occur: heavy steering, abnormal steering noise, steering wheel vibration, and poor steering wheel return capability. Possible causes of electronic power steering system failure include: 1. Excessive air in the power steering system. 2. Foreign objects in the hydraulic lines causing steering pump flow blockage. 3. Loose steering connections leading to steering fluid leakage. Below is relevant information about this component: On the steering shaft there is a hub with grooves that rotates when turning the steering wheel. There are four equally spaced grooves around the hub. When the turn signal is activated, a plastic lever on the turn signal switch gets pushed into the path of these grooves. As the hub continues rotating clockwise, these grooves strike the plastic lever, causing it to oscillate and allowing each groove to pass. When the steering wheel returns left, the hub rotates counterclockwise, pushing the plastic lever in the opposite direction. This forces the spring-loaded roller out of the switch housing's groove, causing the turn signal lever to snap back to its central position.

How to Properly Cross Speed Bumps in a Vehicle?

Correctly crossing speed bumps involves slowing down in advance and then passing over them straight on, distributing the impact evenly across both tires to balance the suspension load on both sides. This method minimizes damage to the vehicle. Relevant details are as follows: 1. From the perspective of the vehicle body and suspension structure, crossing a speed bump is essentially a compression movement between the wheels (including the suspension) and the ground against the vehicle body. Passing vertically over the bump causes both wheels to contract simultaneously, with the force from the ground evenly shared by the springs and shock absorbers of both wheels, regardless of whether the suspension is independent or non-independent. In this scenario, the vehicle body primarily experiences vertical forces that are symmetrically balanced on both sides, resulting in a more even distribution of stress. 2. Crossing speed bumps at an angle actually causes greater wear and tear on the springs, shock absorbers, and the entire vehicle body (frame). This can inversely explain why crossing at an angle feels more comfortable than going straight over—because the entire system absorbs more energy, leaving less energy (vibration) to be transmitted to the passengers.
