The triangular light on the car is the hazard warning light, also known as the emergency flasher or hazard alarm switch. When it illuminates, it indicates an important warning. You can check the warning message by pressing the function button on the left side of the steering wheel. The hazard light may illuminate due to low fuel, low tire pressure, or low engine oil level. This light can also serve as the traction control system warning light, which typically appears after vehicle inspection when wheels are suspended and signals are lost. It can be resolved by visiting a service station for adjustment. When the hazard light flashes, it indicates issues with the ABS or traction control system, which may affect driving performance on poor road surfaces. It is recommended to visit a service station for inspection. This indicator is the TCS (Traction Control System) light. While car instrument panels vary, most conventional dashboards include a speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, coolant temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and charging indicator. The hazard warning light appears red with an exclamation mark "!" inside a circle. If the red brake warning light illuminates, it indicates one of the following conditions in the braking system: severely worn brake pads, low brake fluid level, or engaged parking brake. Typically, when the red brake warning light comes on, the ABS warning light will also illuminate simultaneously.

How to Open the Fuel Tank Cap on a Corolla?

To open the fuel tank cap on a Corolla, follow these steps: 1. Enter the vehicle and locate the fuel tank cap release lever under the left side of the driver's seat. 2. Lift the release lever to open the fuel tank cap located on the left rear side of the vehicle. 3. Slowly unscrew the fuel tank cap and hang it on the back of the fuel filler neck. Below is some additional information about the Corolla's fuel tank: 1. The 2019 Corolla has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, while the 2018 and 2017 models have a 53-liter capacity, and they use 92-octane gasoline. 2. When refueling, avoid frequently changing gas stations to prevent the risk of filling up with low-quality fuel. 3. Corolla owners should try not to wait until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling. The fuel pump, located inside the tank, operates at high temperatures and is cooled by the surrounding fuel. When the fuel light comes on, the fuel level is below the pump. Consistently waiting until the light comes on to refuel may shorten the fuel pump's lifespan. Running on very low fuel or running out of fuel could even damage the pump. 4. Do not blindly use higher-octane gasoline; simply follow the manufacturer's recommended fuel grade.

What is the normal pressure difference between four tires?

The pressure difference between four tires within 0.1bar is normal. The error of tire pressure monitoring and different vehicle load conditions may cause temporary differences in tire pressure. Generally, the rear two tires will have slightly higher pressure than the front ones. If the difference exceeds 0.2bar, adjustment is needed to prevent the car from pulling to one side. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tires. In car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and its damage will lead to the end of the car's life. The tire pressure is the blood pressure of the car, and its level plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the car.

How to Use the Car Oil Dipstick to Check Engine Oil?

Using the car oil dipstick to check engine oil: Park the car and turn off the engine, wait for about 10 minutes, pull out the oil dipstick and use a tissue to completely wipe off the oil stuck to the dipstick head. Then reinsert the cleaned dipstick all the way in and pull it out again. If the oil level is between the upper and lower marks, it indicates the engine oil quantity is appropriate. If it is below the lower mark, you need to add more oil. When the car's engine oil exceeds the upper limit, it can easily lead to increased carbon deposits. Conversely, when the oil level reaches the lower mark on the dipstick, it may cause engine misfire issues.

How to Duplicate a Car Key Without the Original?

Without the original key, you can visit a 4S dealership to have a new remote key duplicated. The 4S dealership can perform password matching based on the car's smart system. When duplicating a new key, the original key's encryption code will be invalidated, and a new set of encryption codes will be input. After activation, one of the previously reserved electronic keys must be selected for matching activation. A car key is a type of wireless remote control that encodes, modulates, and transmits high-frequency signals from the handheld end, while the car, as the receiving end, receives, demodulates, decodes, and unlocks. The remote key utilizes the wireless remote control function of the central locking system, allowing doors to be unlocked or locked from a distance without inserting the key into the lock.

What are the components of a universal transmission device?

Universal transmission devices generally consist of universal joints, drive shafts, and intermediate supports. There are many universal transmission devices in automobiles, such as the steering column under the steering wheel, the half-shafts of the wheels, and the drive shafts of rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive vehicles, all of which belong to universal transmission devices. The universal transmission device is used to transmit power between two shafts whose relative positions constantly change during operation. Its function is to connect the transmission output shaft and the main reducer input shaft that are not in a straight line, ensuring reliable power transmission even when the angle and distance between the two shafts frequently change. During installation, the universal joint yokes at both ends of the drive shaft must be aligned in the same plane.
