Is the Avalon Engine Imported?

The engine of Toyota's Avalon is produced by Tianjin FAW Toyota Engine Co., Ltd., which is a domestically manufactured engine. The 2.0L version of Toyota's Avalon has an engine model M20A, with a maximum power of 131kw, maximum horsepower of 178hp, and peak torque of 210Nm. The 2.5L version has an engine model A25A, with a maximum power of 154kw, maximum horsepower of 209hp, and peak torque of 250Nm. For daily maintenance of Toyota's Avalon engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust system and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When engine oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What does ETC on highways refer to?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. The ETC charging method: Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted RFID tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station, using software networking technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge and tunnel toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a post-payment system. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. The photocopy of the driver's license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection seal; Postal credit card application form. This credit card is used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and use the POS receipt to collect and install the ETC onboard device for free at designated postal outlets without any additional charges; Must be between 18 and 60 years old; Must own a personal vehicle. Below are precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rearward tilt angle on the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Install it behind the rearview mirror on the right side to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can self-charge. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and do not place it where the solar panel might be obstructed. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle ahead. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 kilometers per hour. If the vehicle speed is too fast, the system may fail to read the vehicle device information, resulting in failed deductions. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause deduction failures.

Can ETC be removed after installation?

ETC can be removed after installation. However, removing the ETC device by yourself will render it invalid because the ETC device has an anti-tamper feature. There is a small switch on the back of the ETC electronic tag, and once it is peeled off from the windshield, the internal switch will automatically close. Therefore, you must take the vehicle's registration certificate to the ETC service provider for reactivation. ETC Billing Principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, the system uses computer networking technology to settle payments with the bank. This allows vehicles to pay tolls without stopping at the toll station, all based on the principle of "pass first, deduct later." Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line. Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping, thereby lowering pollution. Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by minimizing vehicle acceleration and braking frequency, reducing wear and fuel consumption. Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council explicitly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, intercity transportation cards will be widely used in key city clusters, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will significantly increase." It also set a target in the "13th Five-Year Plan" for comprehensive transportation development: "By 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles should reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote ETC usage for trucks and explore deeper integration of the ETC system with smart transportation developments such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination. This will provide comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners, meaning more application scenarios will support ETC. Precautions for Installing ETC: Avoid obstructing the driver's view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror. Many car models have windshields with steep angles, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing ETC without considering this may increase blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag requires power but generally does not need charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper rod connected to a switch. Once installed on the windshield, the anti-tamper rod is pressed in. If removed arbitrarily, the rod will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This feature is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Notes for Using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the vehicle in front due to its faulty ETC device, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters from the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h; driving too fast may result in failed billing due to the system's inability to read the vehicle's device information. If using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause billing failure.

What is the replacement interval for a timing belt?

The replacement interval for a timing belt is approximately 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. The timing belt is a rubber component. As the engine operating time increases, the timing belt and its related components, such as the timing belt tensioner pulley, timing belt tensioner, and water pump, will experience wear or aging. If damaged, it can cause the valves to collide with the pistons. The timing belt is a crucial part of the engine's valve timing system. It connects the timing gear on the engine cylinder head at the top and the crankshaft timing gear at the bottom, ensuring accurate intake and exhaust timing through its connection with the crankshaft and a specific transmission ratio.
