Toyota Corolla's transmission dipstick is located directly above the automatic transmission in the engine compartment. Generally, the automatic transmission fluid should be replaced every two years or every 40,000 kilometers, and it is recommended to use the manufacturer's original transmission fluid during replacement. Below are the hazards of not changing the automatic transmission fluid for an extended period: 1. Failure to replace the transmission fluid for a long time can lead to abnormal wear and severe deterioration of the fluid. 2. Prolonged use of old transmission fluid can cause it to deteriorate and evaporate under high-speed and high-temperature conditions, exacerbating the wear of mechanical components and potentially damaging internal transmission parts, thereby shortening the vehicle's lifespan. 3. Long-term neglect of transmission fluid changes can cause the fluid to become granular, blocking oil passages and damaging the valve body, which directly affects system oil pressure and power transmission, resulting in sluggish response and harsh shifting.

What does a rutted road section mean?

Rutted road sections refer to the tire tracks left by vehicles when they pass through. When driving in snowy conditions, traveling along rutted sections can reduce the likelihood of vehicle skidding. Below is a detailed explanation: Modern road ruts are an important indicator in periodic road evaluations and maintenance. The depth of road ruts directly reflects driving comfort, road safety, and service life. Detecting rut depth provides crucial information for decision-makers, enabling them to make optimized decisions regarding road repair, maintenance, and reconstruction. Causes of rutted road sections: 1. Wear-type ruts: Under the combined effects of vehicle tire wear and environmental conditions, the road surface wears down, and aggregate particles in the surface layer gradually detach. When anti-skid materials (e.g., sand) are spread on winter roads, wear-type ruts develop more rapidly. 2. Structural-type ruts: These ruts mainly occur due to insufficient strength in road structural layers such as the base course or subgrade, leading to permanent downward deformation under repeated traffic loads, which manifests on the road surface. 3. Instability-type ruts: Most ruts are caused by the instability of pavement materials under shear stress from traffic loads, resulting in depressions and lateral displacement. The characteristic feature of these ruts is the visible flange formed by the lateral creep displacement of unstable materials along both sides of the rut. They typically appear in areas with heavy vehicle tracks, especially when the strength of the compacted road material is insufficient to withstand the stress from traffic loads, particularly with frequent heavy vehicle passages. These ruts are also more severe in areas like highway entrances and exits, toll booths, or intersections on regular roads where vehicles slow down or idle, as the prolonged stress duration on the road surface makes the material more prone to instability, lateral displacement, and permanent deformation. 4. Compaction-type ruts: These form when insufficiently compacted roads are further compressed by traffic after opening. However, if such ruts result from poor quality control during road construction, they are generally not considered in typical rut discussions.

What Are the Five Points of a Five-Point Seat Belt?

Through both shoulders and hips, it is fixed to the buckle between the legs. Below is an introduction to the five-point seat belt: 1. Introduction: The most common child safety system in child safety seats is the use of a five-point seat belt. The seat belt passes through both shoulders and hips, and is fixed to the buckle between the legs. The seat belt can closely fit the pelvis (hip and crotch belt), shoulders, and chest (shoulder straps). In the event of an accident, when a child moves forward in the seat, a properly adjusted seat belt can 'catch' and immediately stop the movement, while dispersing the impact force to the strong bones of the body. 2. Selection: F1 drivers use five-point seat belts during races. Only this five-point seat belt system can cover all key parts of the body, ensuring the driver's safety in a car traveling at 350 kilometers per hour! It's easy to imagine that a child car safety seat with a five-point seat belt system can ensure the child's safety in the event of an accident.

What is the wading depth of the Toyota Corolla?

The maximum wading depth of the Toyota Corolla is 300mm. The wading depth of the Toyota Corolla is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a reference when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Toyota Corolla is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth should not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before the vehicle enters the water, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in the water, which could cause severe damage due to water ingestion. Based on the passage of preceding vehicles, assess the underwater road conditions and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. For roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, and other reference points such as the wheels and doors of other vehicles to estimate the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Be aware of your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire height or the engine's air intake, do not proceed recklessly. Instead, choose an alternative route.

Does Japan Drive on the Left or Right Side?

Japan follows the left-hand traffic rule. The practice of driving on the left in Japan dates back to the Edo period. During the Edo era, many roads in Japan were narrow, making it difficult for samurai to pass through easily. Additionally, most samurai carried their swords on their left waist. If they walked on the right side, their swords would clash with oncoming pedestrians when passing by, which gradually led to the adoption of left-hand traffic. Other countries that drive on the left include: The United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Thailand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Malta, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Tonga, Nauru, Jamaica, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, The Gambia, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, The Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the British Virgin Islands, and others, primarily Commonwealth countries. Originally, the driver's seat in cars was positioned in the center of the vehicle. Soon after, some automakers placed the driver's seat on the side closer to the center of the road to better observe oncoming traffic, while others placed it on the side closer to the roadside to avoid collisions with obstacles like walls, hedges, or ditches. Practical experience showed that the former approach was more conducive to road safety, which became the standard for automakers. This led to the distinction between left-hand drive (driver's seat on the left front) and right-hand drive (driver's seat on the right front) vehicles. The side of the road on which vehicles drive depends on the long-standing traffic rules of each country, resulting in more detailed and strict road traffic regulations. Many countries have legally defined the direction of vehicle traffic.
