1.2t Corolla's normal tire pressure range is between 2.3~2.5 bar. Additional information is as follows: In winter, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by about 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure. In summer, the tire pressure can be slightly lower than the standard by about 0.1 bar to avoid overinflation and potential blowouts due to high temperatures. Load conditions: When the vehicle is unloaded, use the lower limit of the standard tire pressure. When fully loaded, use the upper limit of the standard tire pressure. Tire pressure measurement environment: There is a difference between cold and hot tire pressures, with a difference of about 0.2 bar. If measuring hot tire pressure, subtract approximately 0.2 bar to get the cold inflation pressure. Road conditions: On rough roads, the tire pressure can be appropriately reduced by 0.1-0.2 bar from the standard. Tire condition: For new tires, increase the pressure by about 0.2 bar from the standard. For old tires, reduce the pressure appropriately, and for severely worn tires, use the lower limit of the standard. For comfort tires (soft tires), increase the pressure by about 0.2 bar from the standard. For performance tires (hard tires), use the lower limit of the standard. Spare tire pressure: Since spare tires are not frequently used, maintain a higher pressure (above 2.5 bar) to ensure readiness, adjusting to the appropriate pressure when in use, then reinflating to 2.5-3.0 bar.

As a Corolla owner who has driven the 1.2T version for several years, I can share that the standard tire pressure is typically around 2.3 bar, equivalent to 33-35 psi, though this may vary by model year and tire size. I recommend first checking the label on the driver's side door jamb, which displays the manufacturer's recommended value. Maintaining this pressure is crucial for smoother handling, better shock absorption, and improved fuel efficiency. In winter, cold tire pressure drops slightly, while summer requires slightly higher pressure, so monthly checks with a simple gauge are ideal. Overinflation causes rapid tread wear and a bumpy ride, while underinflation increases blowout risks. Remember to add 0.1 bar when the trunk is fully loaded—safety first. Overall, 2.3 bar is a reliable baseline, and DIY adjustment is feasible for those comfortable with basic maintenance.

What are the disadvantages of purchasing an inventory car?

Inventory cars have the following disadvantages: 1. Component aging: After months or even years in storage, the battery discharges, various fluids deteriorate, and components like tires, due to prolonged fixed contact with the ground, inevitably become out of round. This refers to inventory cars stored in indoor parking lots. 2. Body scratches: In fact, most vehicles are stored outdoors, where exposure to sunlight accelerates the aging of the paint and rubber seals, rain may cause moisture damage to electronic components, dust clogs various cooling devices and drainage holes, and high-density storage may even lead to body scratches.

What is the difference between longitudinal and transverse engines?

The main differences between longitudinal and transverse engines are as follows: 1. Position: The layout of the engine position is different. 2. Optimal power output direction: Due to the different layouts, the optimal power output direction of the engine varies. 3. Structure: Transverse engines have a simpler structure, lower cost, and can expand the passenger compartment space, while vehicles with longitudinal engines offer higher driving pleasure, better handling, and superior driving feel. 4. Driving experience: Cars with transverse engines have poorer handling and lower driving pleasure. Longitudinal engines may encroach on passenger compartment space and also come with higher costs.

What are the reasons why car windows cannot be raised or lowered?

Window lift motor damage or poor contact in the electrical control wiring harness; motor overheating protection; clogged tracks or aging rubber seals; damaged window lift switch; misaligned track installation positions, etc., can all cause car windows to fail to raise or lower. The specific reasons why car windows cannot be raised or lowered are analyzed as follows: 1. Window lift motor damage or poor contact in the electrical control wiring harness: If there is a burnt smell or abnormal noise inside the door panel when holding down the window button for a long time, it is likely that the window lift motor components are damaged. In this case, it is recommended to directly visit a 4S shop or auto repair shop to replace the window lift motor. 2. Motor overheating protection: To protect the power supply circuit, most window lift motors have an overheating protection mechanism. If the components overheat for some reason, the motor will enter an overheating protection state, causing the window lift to malfunction. In this case, simply wait for the motor to cool down. 3. Clogged tracks or aging rubber seals: Most cases of car windows failing to raise or lower are caused by mechanical jamming. Cleaning the tracks and applying some lubricant usually resolves the issue. If the problem is caused by aging or deformed window rubber seals, replacing the new seals or cleaning them if they are too dirty is necessary. Spraying some dashboard wax on the window seals or applying talcum powder (to act as a lubricant) generally yields good results.

What are the differences between crawl control and differential lock?

Crawl control and differential lock have the following specific differences: 1. Crawl control adjusts wheel braking and driving force through computer systems, using minimal effort to help the vehicle escape difficult situations. 2. Differential lock improves a vehicle's passing ability on bad roads by quickly locking the differential when one driving axle spins idly, turning the two driving axles into a rigid connection. Below are relevant introductions about differential lock and crawl control: 1. Central differential lock: A locking mechanism installed on the central differential, used for four-wheel drive vehicles. 2. Crawl mode: It can be understood as the car's ability to automatically control engine torque output, transmission system, and brakes, allowing the vehicle to pass through rough terrain at very slow speeds, essentially functioning as a mechanical rear differential lock.

What is the width of a 6.8-meter-long vehicle?

Common specifications for a 6.8-meter-long vehicle: 6800mm in length × 2400mm in width. Below are detailed introductions about the 6.8-meter-long vehicle: 1. Usage: Mainly used for transporting bulk granular food or feed, livestock, and other goods. 2. Appearance: The carriage is designed with an emphasis on aesthetic appeal, reasonable internal structure, and advanced craftsmanship. It uses high-quality steel as the framework, strictly welded according to industry standards. The side panels are pressed into a corrugated shape using tooling fixtures, providing high strength while being lightweight. The railings of the compartment can be semi-dismantled, fully dismantled, or adjusted in height as needed, making it practical, convenient, safe, and reliable.
