The brake drum of the Corolla is approximately 32 millimeters. The brake drum is the main component in the drum brake system, where the inner surface of the drum rubs against the brake shoes to achieve braking. The brake drum resembles a metal drum or a small bucket fitted over the wheel hub, with the base of the bucket rubbing against the car's wheel hub to stop the vehicle during braking. The Corolla is a compact sedan under Toyota, with dimensions of 4630mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1480mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.8L inline-four engine featuring dual VVTi technology. Paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission, it delivers a maximum power of 100kW and a maximum torque of 175Nm.

Can the airbag deploy without wearing a seatbelt?

Yes, the airbag can deploy without wearing a seatbelt, but it may not always provide full protection. To maximize passenger safety, it is essential to wear a seatbelt. Here are some key points about seatbelts and airbags: 1. Seatbelts and airbags are two independent systems that operate without interfering with each other. They are not connected in any way, so even if the seatbelt is not worn, the airbag can still function normally. 2. A seatbelt is a purely mechanical component. Seatbelts with pre-tensioners include an electronic device that activates during an accident, causing the pre-tensioner to explode and quickly tighten the seatbelt. 3. Airbags operate solely based on sensors, and no other components can restrict their function. Vehicles are equipped with several crash sensors. When a sensor detects a collision, it triggers the airbag deployment. Some vehicles have a passenger-side airbag deactivation switch; if the airbag is turned off, even in an accident where other airbags deploy, the passenger-side airbag will not activate.

Is Wheel Balancing Necessary When Replacing Tires on a New Car?

Generally, it is necessary to perform wheel balancing after replacing or repairing the tire system. Over time, the loss of balancing weights can cause an imbalance in the tire's weight distribution. Any operation that alters the mass distribution of the wheel requires wheel balancing. Extended description regarding tire replacement is as follows: 1. Installing new tires can lead to uneven mass distribution across the wheel. At high speeds, this can create an unbalanced state, posing a safety risk. Therefore, wheel balancing should be performed after replacing tires or repairing punctures to ensure the wheels remain balanced during high-speed driving. 2. You can check whether wheel balancing is needed using the following method: Lift the tire off the ground and spin it at high speed. Observe whether the tire comes to rest in the same position or at a diagonal position each time. If the tire stops at random positions, balancing is not required. Conversely, if it consistently stops at the same spot, wheel balancing is necessary.

How to align the timing of the Citroen C-Quatre?

Citroen C-Quatre timing alignment method is: 1. Remove the timing cover, slowly rotate the crankshaft, observe that each camshaft wheel has a hole, slowly rotate to align with the corresponding hole on the cylinder head, and use a special tool to insert and fix the camshaft. If there is no special tool, you can make one yourself. 2. The crankshaft positioning hole is located at the rear of the engine, there is a large hole, find the top of the right half-shaft near the transmission end, it is easy to find, insert a special tool to fix the crankshaft, if there is no special tool, you can make one yourself. 3. Adjust the position of the tensioner wheel properly, the tightness should be moderate to avoid noise, adjust the pointer to the middle position, use a hex key to adjust left and right to select the middle position, and then tighten the screw.

When is the first vehicle maintenance due?

New car first maintenance time: after driving 3,000~5,000 kilometers or half a year. Additional information about new car first maintenance is as follows: 1. Many brand 4S shops have changed the first maintenance to 3,000 kilometers/3 months to shorten customers' maintenance cycles. The two values of 3,000~5,000 kilometers or half a year are based on whichever comes first. Exceeding the manufacturer's specified first maintenance mileage or time will affect the owner's three-guarantee rights. 2. During the initial driving period, as the moving parts of the car have not yet been run in, it is necessary to drive carefully, otherwise it will aggravate the damage to the parts. The running-in period allows each part of the engine to run smoothly and prolongs the service life of the vehicle. The running-in period of a new car is generally within 5,000 kilometers, which is the deadline for the first maintenance.
