Toyota's hybrid system works by converting kinetic energy during braking into electrical energy, and it can shut down the engine when the vehicle is stuck in traffic. Unlike traditional fuel-powered vehicles, Toyota's hybrid system (THS) does not use a dedicated starter when the engine starts; instead, it utilizes the generator for starting. The advantages of this system include: the power transmission device consists of two motors (MG1, MG2), a compound gear mechanism, an Atkinson cycle engine, an inverter assembly, and an HV battery, along with an HVECU. This system can distribute power transmission under various operating conditions by utilizing both the engine and the HV high-voltage battery, featuring low emissions of pollutants and smooth acceleration.

How Does Vehicle Damage Insurance Compensate for a Totaled Car?

When a car experiences a collision resulting in damage to both the engine and the passenger compartment, it can be defined as a total loss. If the car body has been burned by fire, with the burned area exceeding 60% of the body, it can also be defined as a total loss. Once defined as a total loss, the insurance company will provide corresponding compensation based on the extent of liability.

How to Solve the Problem of Excessive Smoke from Diesel Vehicles?

Depending on the situation, the fuel injector components should be cleaned, ground, or replaced. When the fuel injection timing is improperly adjusted and the injection advance angle is too small, the fuel injection advance angle should be increased to an appropriate position. If the fuel supply is excessive, the black smoke will be continuous, and the larger the throttle, the more black smoke is emitted. This can be checked using the fuel cut-off method.

How to Use Mercedes-Benz Autonomous Driving Assist System?

This function of Mercedes-Benz needs to be activated on the brake. When the car comes to a complete stop, do not release the brake pedal, but instead press it down a bit further. Once the function is activated, you can release the brake. The car will remain stationary, which is equivalent to putting a regular automatic transmission car in neutral + pulling the handbrake.

How to Determine if a Diesel Engine Water Pump is Faulty?

Water pump failure can increase the rotational resistance of the pump. Since the water pump is connected to the timing belt, increased rotational resistance can directly affect the engine's operation. This sound is a rotational friction noise. The noise can intensify with the engine's speed and vary in volume. These are a series of phenomena all related to the water pump, and not necessarily a complex issue. This fault is the most easily overlooked phenomenon caused by poor coolant flow. Replacing a small water pump can completely resolve the problem.
