The Toyota Avalon is a mid-to-large-sized sedan launched by Toyota, and among the cars I've driven, it stands out as a great family choice that balances space and comfort. With a length of nearly 5 meters and a wheelbase of 2.87 meters, three adults can sit comfortably in the back without feeling cramped, and the legroom is spacious enough for a relaxed ride, making outings with elderly parents or children hassle-free. I usually drive the hybrid version for my daily commute, with a combined fuel consumption of just 5.2 liters per 100 km. A full tank can take me over 900 kilometers, saving significantly compared to other cars in its class. The seats are moderately firm, providing good support for long highway drives without causing back pain, and the sound insulation is particularly impressive, with minimal noticeable tire noise. The trunk is deep, easily accommodating strollers and large suitcases. After three years of ownership, it has been virtually trouble-free, and maintenance costs are comparable to the Camry, making it a true representative of practical family cars.

What to Do in Case of Illegal ETC Removal?

ETC is designed for dedicated use by default, and it comes with a protective device during installation—a push rod inside the adhesive position. Once the electronic tag is installed, it must not be removed without authorization. If removed, the anti-removal switch of the electronic tag will be triggered, causing the push rod to extend, rendering the ETC invalid. When passing through an ETC lane on the highway, it will display "OBU (On-Board Unit) illegally removed," preventing normal passage. Of course, some vehicle owners may not have removed the ETC card, but the detachment or loosening of the electronic tag may also trigger the anti-removal switch, leading to OBU failure. Reasons for the electronic tag becoming loose or detached include improper OBU installation, bumps or collisions while driving, excessive speed, or prolonged exposure to sunlight. If the OBU displays "illegally removed," don’t panic. The vehicle owner simply needs to visit an ETC customer service center or service outlet to have it reinstalled and reactivated. ETC users who enter the highway normally but receive prompts such as "illegal removal" or other abnormal messages may encounter the following issues: Before entering the toll station, ETC users should merge into the correct lane in advance and drive vertically into the ETC lane, keeping the speed below 20 km/h. Otherwise, the system may encounter errors while reading the tag. Improper use of the electronic tag can also lead to passage problems. If the ETC electronic tag becomes detached or loose due to personal movement or prolonged sun exposure, or if it is not properly affixed to the vehicle’s windshield, the tag may fail, preventing the system from automatically lifting the barrier. If the lane system displays a "U-turn" or "overtime vehicle" message, automatic deduction or card swiping for toll payment will not be possible, and the user must pay the toll in cash.

Is Higher or Lower Engine Oil Viscosity Better?

There is no definitive answer to whether higher or lower engine oil viscosity is better. The viscosity of engine oil should be selected based on the vehicle model. As a type of machinery, engines have specific requirements for lubricating oil that share common aspects with general machinery, such as the need for appropriate viscosity, certain anti-oxidation, anti-wear, anti-corrosion, and viscosity-temperature properties. Below is an introduction to engine oil: 1. Composition of engine oil: Engine oil is the lubricating oil used by engines, consisting of base oil and additives. 2. Density and functions of engine oil: The density of engine oil is approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), and it serves functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption.

Function: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple purposes including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. 2. Classification: Gasoline engine oils are divided into two types: mineral oil and synthetic oil. Synthetic oil is further categorized into semi-synthetic and full-synthetic oils. 3. Composition: Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of lubricants, determining their fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing additional performance characteristics. Additives are an essential part of lubricants.

How to Purchase Parallel Imported Vehicles?

Parallel imported vehicles can be purchased from 4S stores, imported car dealerships, and ports. Below is a detailed introduction to the channels for purchasing parallel imported vehicles: 1. Purchase from 4S stores: Some 4S stores also deal in parallel imported vehicles.

Purchase from imported car dealerships: Imported car dealerships are essentially equivalent to 4S stores, but they sell models from various brands rather than a single brand. 3. Purchase from ports: Currently, over 90% of China's parallel imported vehicles enter the country through ports such as Tianjin Port, Qingdao Port, Dalian Port, Fuzhou Port, and Huangpu Port, with 70% of them entering through Tianjin Port. To purchase parallel imported vehicles, you can visit the bonded areas of these ports. The warranty for parallel imported vehicles purchased at ports is covered by warranty companies.

What to Do If You're Stopped by Traffic Police Without Carrying Your Driver's License?

The following are the methods to handle being stopped by traffic police without carrying your driver's license: 1. Present other valid identification: You can submit other valid ID documents including ID card, military officer's ID, passport, etc. These are also official documents in China and contain a lot of the driver's personal information. 2. Prepare a backup in advance: When the driver really cannot produce other valid documents, if you happen to have a photo of your driver's license in your phone, you can actually show it to the traffic police for verification. 3. Alipay document folder function: The Alipay mobile app has a document folder function where you can input your ID card information or driver's license information. This way, even if you don't have your physical driver's license with you, you can show the electronic version to the traffic police.
