When driving in heavy rain, you should turn on the vehicle's low beam headlights. Remember not to use the high beam headlights, as most modern vehicles are equipped with xenon or LED high beam lights, which can significantly impair the vision of oncoming drivers if used. In situations where heavy rain causes very low visibility, it is necessary to turn on the fog lights. Fog lights have strong penetration, allowing other road users to notice the vehicle through the light, thereby enhancing driving safety. When it first starts to rain, although the sky is relatively dark, visibility is still acceptable. In this case, you should use the parking lights. When the rain becomes heavier, you should turn on the headlights or front fog lights.

Is the Highlander purely imported or domestically produced?

The Highlander is domestically produced. The Highlander is a large-sized SUV in the Toyota family, with dimensions of 4890mm in length, 1925mm in width, and 1715mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2790mm. In terms of appearance, the overall design of the Highlander is very sporty. The front face of the car features a trapezoidal grille, which is connected to the upward-slanting headlights on both sides of the front face, making the car's front look more refined. In terms of safety features, the Highlander is equipped with active head and neck protection headrests, which effectively protect the driver's head and neck in the event of a collision. It also comes with newly developed hood and fenders that can dent upon impact with pedestrians to absorb collision energy, thereby reducing injuries to pedestrians in case of a collision.

Why Is It a Disadvantage to Inspect Your Vehicle Three Months in Advance?

Inspecting your vehicle in advance is not a disadvantage. According to relevant regulations, motor vehicles must apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle registration office within three months before the expiration of the validity period. The annual inspection time is based on the date on the vehicle license, and the validity period of an early inspection will not change. Below are the precautions for vehicles that have not undergone annual inspection: 1. Accident Liability: For any traffic accident caused by a vehicle that has not undergone the annual inspection on time, the party involved will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not be liable. This is because the insurance policy specifies that vehicles with expired inspections are among those excluded from compensation. 2. Mandatory Scrapping: According to the "Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles," any motor vehicle that fails to obtain an inspection compliance mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of the inspection validity period will be mandatorily scrapped.

Does engine oil have an expiration date?

Engine oil does have an expiration date. Generally, the shelf life of engine oil (fully synthetic, semi-synthetic, mineral oil) is 4-5 years. Below is more information about engine oil: 1. Mineral oil: Mineral oil is the residual oil left after refining gasoline and heavy oil from petroleum. Although it is a natural oil, it contains more impurities. It is cheaper compared to semi-synthetic and fully synthetic oils but offers poorer lubrication for the engine and has a shorter service life. 2. Semi-synthetic oil: Semi-synthetic oil is a middle ground between mineral oil and fully synthetic oil. It contains a large amount of anti-corrosion additives to improve the oil's stability and high oxidation resistance. 3. Fully synthetic oil: Among the three types, fully synthetic oil is of the highest quality and durability, and it is also the most expensive. Typically, it can last for 10,000-12,000 kilometers in a car without deteriorating. 4. Hazards of water contamination in engine oil: If a small amount of water enters the engine and mixes with the oil, the oil quality deteriorates. Oil containing water can increase wear on engine components, potentially leading to increased engine noise and vibration during future vehicle operation.

What does braking distance mean for a car?

Braking distance is one of the key parameters to measure the braking performance of a vehicle. It refers to the distance traveled by the vehicle from the moment braking begins until the car comes to a complete stop, while the vehicle is moving at a certain speed. It is the distance covered by the car from the moment the driver presses the brake pedal sharply until the car comes to a full stop, starting from a certain initial speed. The magnitude of the braking force not only depends on the travel distance of the brake pedal being pressed but also on the adhesion coefficient between the wheels and the ground. The smoother the road (such as an icy surface), the smaller the adhesion coefficient, and the longer the braking distance. Below is an introduction to brake pedal operation: Introduction to brake pedal operation: Car brake pedal operations are divided into slow braking (i.e., anticipatory braking), emergency braking, combined braking, and intermittent braking. Generally, during slow braking and emergency braking, before the wheels lock up and the car stops, the clutch pedal should be fully depressed to prevent the engine from stalling and to facilitate changing speeds again. It is important to properly control the timing and force of braking: Generally, do not use the method of pressing the brake pedal all the way down in one go. First, press the brake pedal, and determine the foot pressure (i.e., the increase in pressure) as needed. When the speed is fast, the foot pressure should be quick and forceful; when the speed is slow, the foot pressure should be gentle and steady. Then, based on various situations, different increases or decreases in pressure should be applied.
