There is a combination switch located at the upper left of the brake pedal, and the second button from the left is the anti-skid switch. Additional information is as follows: 1. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) System: This is an active safety system developed by Toyota, which significantly enhances vehicle handling safety and driving convenience. In emergency situations such as sharp turns, sudden acceleration, or hard braking, the system can quickly detect and take appropriate braking measures, such as controlling each tire individually while reducing engine output to maintain vehicle stability and prevent skidding. 2. Features of the Anti-Skid System: It continuously monitors the driver's inputs (steering, braking, and throttle), road conditions, and the vehicle's motion, sending commands to the engine and braking system. It intervenes in the driver's actions by adjusting the engine throttle to regulate engine speed and modifying the driving and braking force on each wheel to correct oversteer or understeer. The system uses sensors and a control unit to constantly monitor and process signals from the steering system, wheels, and vehicle body to determine if the vehicle is skidding during a turn. If skidding is detected, the control unit applies slight braking to the necessary wheels to help stabilize the vehicle's movement.

Will the Vehicle Purchase Tax Be Abolished in 2021?

The vehicle purchase tax is only abolished for some models. From January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022, the purchase tax will be exempted for new energy vehicles. New energy vehicles exempt from the purchase tax include pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid (including range-extended) vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles. Below is the classification of new energy vehicles by power type: Hybrid: Hybrid vehicles are those that use traditional fuels and are equipped with an electric motor/engine to improve low-speed power output and fuel consumption. Based on whether they can be externally charged, they can be further divided into plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and non-plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (MHEV). Pure Electric: As the name suggests, electric vehicles primarily rely on electric power for propulsion. Most vehicles use electric motors directly for driving, while some have motors installed in the engine compartment, and others use the wheels as the rotors for four electric motors. Fuel Cell: Fuel cell vehicles refer to those that use hydrogen, methanol, etc., as fuel, generate electric current through chemical reactions, and rely on electric motors for propulsion.

How to Remove an Automotive Angle Stop Valve?

Angle valves, also known as angle stop valves or 8-character valves, are consumable items that should be inspected and replaced periodically. Typically, the water outlet and inlet form a 90-degree right angle, and their functional structure is largely similar, serving as control valves for water pipe outlets. Before installation, check the pipe connections for sand particles and debris to prevent clogging of the ceramic chip, which could lead to leaks. When wrapping raw tape around the connection between the pipe and the angle valve, pay attention to the thickness of the wrap—usually 3 to 5 turns is ideal—to prevent aging and leaks. During installation, avoid tightening the valve by hand using the handwheel. Instead, wrap several layers of cloth or paper towels around the valve body as a buffer, then use a wrench to grip and rotate the valve body for tightening. Directly gripping the valve body without a buffer may scratch its surface, affecting its appearance. After installation, open the main valve to allow water in and check for any leaks. Generally, pressurizing the water for about 15 minutes is necessary to confirm a proper seal. If installing the angle valve without connecting it to a water pipe, ensure the valve is closed. Conduct leak tests carefully to prevent leaks that may not appear immediately but occur later. Multiple observations during the leak test are recommended.

Is 92 octane gasoline ethanol or pure gasoline?

E92 gasoline is based on 92 octane gasoline with the addition of some ethanol and additives, while 92 octane gasoline is unleaded gasoline. Understanding gasoline octane ratings: Gasoline octane ratings are marked based on the level of octane. The higher the gasoline grade, the higher the proportion of isooctane. For example, 93 octane gasoline has a higher proportion of isooctane than 92 octane gasoline. The choice of gasoline grade mainly depends on the engine compression ratio. The higher the compression ratio, the higher the fuel octane rating should be. E92 only contains 10% alcohol. If you usually use 92 octane gasoline, mixing with E92 will only result in a decrease in power and a shorter driving range. If you usually use E92, mixing with 92 octane gasoline may result in improved power and a longer driving range. Precautions for refueling: Do not change the octane rating of the gasoline arbitrarily. If you switch to a lower octane rating, it may cause premature combustion of the gasoline, leading to engine knocking. In addition, incomplete combustion of the gasoline will lead to increased carbon deposits, which can block the conduits and nozzles, as well as cause decreased vehicle power and increased fuel consumption.

When was the China VI emission standard for trucks implemented?

China VI emission standard for trucks was implemented on July 1, 2021. Below is relevant information about it: Introduction to China VI: The "China VI" standard is an upgrade from the "China V" standard, requiring carbon monoxide emissions and total hydrocarbons to be reduced by more than 50% from the original baseline. According to the plan, the "China VI" standard will be implemented in two phases: 6A and 6B. The first phase started on July 1, 2020, and the second phase will begin on July 1, 2023. The World's Strictest Standard: The China VI standard references both the Euro 6c standard for emission limits and the OBD and evaporative emission requirements of the North American EPA-Tier3 standard, hence it is also known as the "world's strictest" standard.

How much engine oil does an Audi A3 need?

Audi A3 generally requires 3.5 to 4.5 liters of engine oil. Below are the methods and precautions for adding engine oil: Methods for adding engine oil: First, use a jack to lift the vehicle, then unscrew the drain plug to drain the oil, replace the oil filter and gasket, and finally add the appropriate amount of new engine oil in the engine compartment. Precautions for adding engine oil: Choose engine oil with different viscosity based on the engine's operating condition; opt for multi-grade oil, which offers advantages such as fuel economy, long service life, and high efficiency, providing better protection for the engine; the oil level should be slightly below the mark on the dipstick—do not overfill; select engine oil according to the engine's requirements.

What are the penalties for driving with an expired temporary license plate?

If a vehicle is driven on the road with an expired temporary license plate, it is equivalent to "driving a motor vehicle on the road without displaying a motor vehicle license plate." Specific relevant details are as follows: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law": If a motor vehicle is driven on the road without displaying a license plate, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license plate, and impose a fine of 200 yuan and deduct 12 points in accordance with Article 90. The traffic management department reminds: Currently, the validity period of the temporary license plates issued for motor vehicles is 15 days. Drivers must pay attention to the expiration date marked on the back of the temporary license plate and avoid carrying an expired temporary license plate on the road. Here are the solutions for an expired temporary license plate: Continue to apply for a temporary license plate: A temporary license plate can be extended up to three times. Use a formal license plate: This is possible only if a formal license plate has already been obtained. Use a fourth temporary license plate: This is also a widely used method. If all three local temporary license plates have expired, you can obtain a temporary license plate from another province or city.
