RAV4 uses two types of transmissions: one is a CVT transmission, and the other is an E-CVT transmission. The principles of these two transmissions are introduced as follows: Principle of CVT transmission: In a CVT transmission system, traditional gears are replaced by a pair of pulleys and a steel belt. Each pulley is actually a V-shaped structure composed of two conical discs. The engine shaft is connected to the small pulley, which drives the large pulley through the steel belt. Principle of E-CVT transmission: E-CVT is not a CVT transmission; the two are completely different concepts. Strictly speaking, the E-CVT (continuously variable transmission) cannot be called a transmission in the traditional sense. The principle of E-CVT: It achieves the 'fusion' of engine power and motor power through a set of planetary gears.

Can replacing cracked or damaged tires prevent blowouts?

Replacing cracked or damaged tires can prevent blowouts. The main causes of tire blowouts are: 1. Low tire pressure: This leads to excessive contact between the tire sidewall and the road surface, causing the sidewall to wear and overheat. As tire temperature rises rapidly, the sidewall may eventually burst when worn beyond a certain point. 2. Overused tires: Generally, 5-6 years is the maximum lifespan for tires. Beyond this period, severe aging occurs with numerous cracks developing, making blowouts more likely. 3. Structural damage to tires: Issues like bulges or deformations indicate internal structural failure, which can result in blowouts.

How Does Insurance Cover Water-Damaged Cars in Rain?

If the vehicle is stationary and gets submerged, meaning the damage occurs while parked, the insurance company will provide full compensation. If the vehicle is submerged while in motion, full compensation is also provided. However, if there is only collision coverage without specific water damage coverage, the engine damage will not be compensated. But if the vehicle is submerged while driving and the engine is restarted after stalling, the insurance company will not provide compensation.
