In older Lexus models, the handbrake is a pedal located near the left foot; in newer models, there is an electronic handbrake where 'P' stands for the handbrake, which is manually controlled. 'Auto' means the handbrake is in automatic mode—it engages automatically when shifting to 'P' and releases when shifting to 'D'. To use the handbrake, pull it upward to stop the vehicle, and lower the handbrake lever to drive. Lexus models include the LM, UX300e, ES, RX, etc. For example, the Lexus LM is a luxury MPV with dimensions of 5040mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1945mm in height.

What does ECM mean in cars?

Automotive ECM refers to the Engine Control Module, which has the function of continuously monitoring and controlling the normal operation of the engine. In modern engine management systems, the ECM serves as its core control component. The automotive engine control module is one of the important automotive electronics. It can provide the engine with an optimal air-fuel mixture ratio and optimal ignition timing according to different engine operating conditions, ensuring the engine always operates in an optimal state. The core component of the ECM is a VLSI microcontroller composed of microprocessors, which uses various corresponding sensors (temperature, pressure, gas-sensitive, displacement) to pick up control parameters. Through the microcontroller, it implements automatic control over engine functions such as fuel injection, ignition, combustion, operation, and emissions.

What is the Difference Between Comfort Mode and Eco Mode?

Here are the specific differences between Comfort Mode and Eco Mode: Features: Eco Mode refers to the energy-saving mode; Comfort Mode is an operating mode that pursues comfort and stability, where the car's suspension is softer, providing excellent impact buffering. Steering Wheel: In Eco Mode, the steering wheel becomes slightly heavier and less flexible. In Comfort Mode, the steering wheel is more flexible. Power: In Eco Mode, the throttle response is noticeably more sensitive, and you can feel a strong push when the throttle is fully engaged. In Comfort Mode, the throttle response is less sensitive, and the power comes more gradually, with little to no feeling of being pushed back into the seat.

What Are the Causes of Crankshaft Position Sensor Failure?

Crankshaft position sensor failure is caused by damage to the magnetic pulse signal disc or magnetic head. The crankshaft position sensor is a critical component in the centralized control system of an electronic fuel injection engine. If the crankshaft position sensor malfunctions, it can affect the normal operation of the vehicle. Common symptoms of crankshaft position sensor failure include difficulty starting the engine or the engine stalling shortly after starting. The crankshaft position sensor plays a vital role in determining the position of the crankshaft, monitoring engine speed, and detecting signals such as the top dead center (TDC) signals for each cylinder used in ignition control and the first cylinder TDC signal for sequential fuel injection control. The crankshaft position sensor typically works in conjunction with the camshaft position sensor to determine the basic ignition timing.

What is the recommended speed limit for a scooter during the break-in period?

Scooter speed should be limited to 60km/h during the break-in period. Here are some daily maintenance tips for motorcycles: Idle speed control: During the break-in period, the motorcycle idle speed should be maintained at 100 rpm. Gear matching: The motorcycle gear should correspond to the speed. Braking method: When braking is required due to an obstacle ahead, release the throttle, step on the rear brake with your right foot, and gently apply the front brake with your right hand. Spark plug installation: When installing a new spark plug, hand-tighten it until it can't be turned anymore, then use a spark plug socket to tighten it by about a quarter to half turn.

Is It Normal for a New Car to Shake During Cold Start?

It is normal for a new car to shake during a cold start because the vehicle is in the break-in period at this time, and the coordination between the driver and the clutch is not yet optimal. This can easily lead to improper clutch control, and the shaking phenomenon may lessen after a period of time. When starting the car with low engine coolant temperature, if the engine starts smoothly, it indicates that the battery is in good condition. As the engine speed gradually decreases, timely charging is necessary. Paying attention to battery inspection and maintenance is beneficial for car starting. Generally, engine shaking may also be accompanied by piston slap, which involves severe wear between the piston and cylinder wall, along with an abnormal, dull knocking sound. If this phenomenon occurs, it indicates a very serious engine issue that requires immediate inspection and repair.
