RAV4 has many models, and different models use different transmissions. Taking the 2020 RAV4 as an example, there are two types of transmissions used: one is a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), and the other is an E-CVT (Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission). Below is an introduction to the E-CVT: The E-CVT is not a CVT transmission; they are completely different concepts. Strictly speaking, the E-CVT transmission cannot be called a transmission in the traditional sense. Its principle involves using a set of planetary gears to achieve the integration of engine power and motor power.

What causes the ESC light on the dashboard to illuminate?

When the ESC malfunction indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it is generally an alarm caused by the software system. It may also be due to sensor failure or circuit short, and false alarms cannot be ruled out. Below is the main introduction to the automotive ESC system: 1. Function: The main role of ESC is to make the car more stable and safe when changing lanes or turning. Under normal driving conditions, the ESC system does not function. 2. Composition: ESC mainly consists of three major parts: sensors, actuators, and the electronic control unit (ECU). A failure in any of these parts can cause the ESC malfunction light to illuminate.

What Can You Do with Leftover Engine Oil?

Leftover engine oil from maintenance can be saved for next use, but it's important to note that the shelf life of opened engine oil will be shortened, generally to only 1 year. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Functions of engine oil: The main functions of engine oil are lubrication, cleaning, and heat dissipation. In fact, many parts of a vehicle use engine oil, but the oil that needs to be changed every 5000 kilometers refers to engine oil. Most people generally use semi-synthetic or fully synthetic engine oil, while conventional engine oil is rarely used. Conventional engine oil is usually used in agricultural machinery, tricycles, and motorcycles. 2. Replacement intervals: Conventional engine oil, 5000 kilometers; semi-synthetic engine oil, 7500 kilometers; fully synthetic engine oil can go up to 10000 kilometers before the next maintenance.

What does it mean when the yellow steering wheel with an exclamation mark keeps flashing?

Steering wheel with an exclamation mark yellow light keeps flashing indicates a problem with the power steering system. Classification of power steering systems: There are three types of power steering systems in cars: electric power steering system, electro-hydraulic power steering system, and mechanical hydraulic power steering system. Characteristics of power steering systems: The electric power steering system relies on an electric motor to directly provide steering assistance, and this system does not have hydraulic components. Both the electro-hydraulic power steering system and the mechanical hydraulic power steering system have hydraulic components, and both systems include a power steering pump. The power steering pump in the mechanical hydraulic power steering system is driven by the engine, while the power steering pump in the electro-hydraulic power steering system is driven by an electric motor.

What does the car battery low power warning icon look like?

When the car battery is low on power, the battery icon on the dashboard will continuously flash to indicate an alarm state. Here is some knowledge about car batteries: 1. Definition: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term "battery" refers to a lead-acid battery. This is a type of battery mainly made from lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Lifespan: The normal service life varies from 1 to 8 years, largely depending on the vehicle's condition. If the vehicle's alternator charges normally and there are no electrical leaks or grounding issues, the battery can generally last more than 3 years.
