If you can't find the key and need to use the car key, there are two solutions: 1. You can go to a 4S shop to get a replacement. The staff at the 4S shop will find the corresponding key code based on the car model, then deactivate the lost key code, and finally assign a new key code. Even if the lost key is found by someone else, there's no need to worry. 2. Go to an auto parts market to get a key replacement. However, getting a key at an auto parts market poses some security risks. The auto parts market merely copies the key code, which carries the risk of loss. 3. When buying a car, you may notice a plastic tag on the key with numbers written on it. This is actually a safeguard in case the key is lost—you can use the code on the small aluminum tag to ask the manufacturer to rematch the car key. Therefore, that small aluminum tag is very important and must be kept safe.

How often should the brake fluid be changed for a Corolla Hybrid?

Corolla recommends changing the brake fluid every 40,000 kilometers, but this interval can vary depending on usage. Owners can determine whether the brake fluid needs to be replaced based on the following symptoms: 1. When driving normally at speeds above 40 KM/H, sudden braking causes skidding, and the braking distance becomes noticeably longer. If the brake pads are ruled out as a factor, it can generally be concluded that the brake fluid is problematic. 2. During braking, the braking force fluctuates between light and heavy. When the brake fluid deteriorates and the water content exceeds 2.5%, frequent braking generates high temperatures, turning the water in the brake fluid into steam and creating numerous air bubbles, leading to unstable braking force. 3. The brake pedal feels soft when pressed. After the brake fluid deteriorates, even pressing the brake pedal all the way down gives a soft and spongy feeling. Especially after continuous or frequent braking, the brake pedal feels much softer and more elastic compared to before.

Under What Circumstances Should a Cylinder Head Be Replaced?

If the cylinder head develops cracks, it needs to be replaced, and if the cylinder head becomes deformed, it also requires replacement. The cylinder head is the engine's cylinder cover, and this component is part of the engine's combustion chamber, making it crucial for the engine. Below is an introduction to the relevant content: 1. From top to bottom, the engine consists of the valve cover, cylinder head, cylinder block, and oil pan. Inside the engine, there are components such as the crankshaft, piston, connecting rod, and within the cylinder head, there are intake valves, exhaust valves, and camshafts. Most car engines adopt a double overhead camshaft design, where the cylinder head houses two camshafts—one controlling the opening and closing of the intake valves and the other controlling the exhaust valves. 2. If the cylinder head experiences severe deformation, it must be replaced. A deformed cylinder head can compromise the engine's sealing, leading to issues like air and oil leaks. Similarly, if the cylinder head develops cracks, these can also cause air and oil leakage problems in the engine.
