There is a set of light combination switches on the left side of the steering wheel. At night, rotating the combination switch forward two notches activates the high beam. Definition of high beam: The intensity of light is adjusted based on the distance of the filament. The high beam is focused at its focal point, emitting parallel light that is more concentrated and brighter, capable of illuminating distant and high objects. Difference between high beam and low beam: Both are used for nighttime illumination, but the high beam has a higher angle and longer range, while the low beam has a lower angle and shorter range. It is generally advisable not to use high beams when driving in the city, as urban areas usually have good lighting conditions. The high angle of the high beam can easily dazzle oncoming drivers and pedestrians, compromising their safety.

What are the differences between A25A and A25A-FKS?

The main differences between the A25A engine in the 2018 Camry 2.5G and the A25A-FKS in the 2018 Lexus ES260 are: 1. Different body dimensions: The Camry's length × width × height is 4885x1840x1455mm, with a wheelbase of 2825mm, a curb weight of 1580kg, a fuel tank capacity of 60L, front tire specifications of 235/45R18, and rear tire specifications of 235/45R18; the Lexus's length × width × height is 4975x1866x1447mm, with a wheelbase of 2870mm, a curb weight of 1645kg, a fuel tank capacity of 61L, front tire specifications of 215/55R17, and rear tire specifications of 215/55R17.

Can You Add Pure Water to Coolant?

You can add pure water to antifreeze. The main components of antifreeze are ethylene glycol and water, where the water refers to pure or distilled water, not mineral water. This is because mineral water contains minerals, which are impurities compared to pure or distilled water and cannot evaporate. If the antifreeze level is low, you can add pure or distilled water, but never add mineral water. Not only will this raise the freezing point of the antifreeze, but the minerals in the mineral water can also chemically react with the components of the antifreeze, affecting its performance. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine block. Its full name is antifreeze coolant. Here is some related information: 1. Introduction: The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing when the vehicle is parked in cold winter conditions, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder head. 2. Function: The engine and its cooling system are made of metals such as copper, iron, aluminum, steel, and solder. These metals, when exposed to water at high temperatures over time, can corrode and rust. Antifreeze not only prevents corrosion in the engine cooling system but also has anti-corrosion and rust-removal properties.

How to distinguish between car classes A, B, and C?

The classification of car classes A, B, and C is primarily based on parameters such as wheelbase, engine displacement, and weight. The further the letter is in the alphabet, the longer the wheelbase, the larger the displacement and weight, and the higher the luxury level of the car. Class A cars refer to compact cars, with a wheelbase ranging from 2 meters to 2.2 meters and an engine displacement of less than 1 liter. Class B cars are mid-range cars, with a wheelbase approximately between 2.45 meters and 2.6 meters and a displacement ranging from 1.6 liters to 2.4 liters. Class C cars are high-end cars, with a wheelbase approximately between 2.6 meters and 2.8 meters and an engine displacement from 2.3 liters to 3.0 liters. With the increasing variety of models, styles, and configurations, the boundaries between Class A, B, and C cars are becoming more blurred. For example, some models may have a wheelbase within the Class A range, but their displacement is almost comparable to Class B cars. Therefore, car classification should also be handled flexibly according to specific circumstances.

Why is the ETC light not on?

If the ETC light is not on or the screen is black, it may be due to the ETC card being inserted incorrectly, the battery being dead, or device damage. You can take the ETC device to an ETC customer service center for inspection. More details are as follows: 1. ETC is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges: It uses dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, along with computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks. This allows vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. 2. Fully automatic electronic toll collection system: It is one of the service functions of the intelligent transportation system, especially suitable for use on highways or busy bridge and tunnel environments. Currently, there are dedicated ETC toll lanes at highway toll stations. Vehicle owners only need to install a sensor card on the windshield and prepay the toll. When passing through the toll station, no manual payment or stopping is required, as the highway toll will be automatically deducted from the card, enabling automatic toll collection. This system takes less than two seconds per vehicle, and its toll lane capacity is 5 to 10 times that of manual toll lanes. Using a fully automatic electronic toll collection system can make highway toll collection paperless and cashless, fundamentally eliminating toll revenue leakage and addressing financial management issues in highway toll collection. Additionally, implementing a fully automatic electronic toll collection system can save on infrastructure and management costs.

Can Blocking the Exhaust Pipe Cause the Engine to Stall?

Blocking the exhaust pipe will cause the engine to stall. Reason for stalling: Combustion requires a mixture of fuel and air to form a combustible mixture. After each combustion, the exhaust gases are expelled through the exhaust pipe. If the exhaust pipe is blocked, the exhaust gases cannot be expelled from the vehicle, and at the same time, new combustible mixture cannot enter, causing the engine to stall and the vehicle to stop starting. Ignition method: When the engine starts, the mixture of air and gasoline is atomized (in a ratio of 14.7:1) and enters the cylinder. The piston, driven by the motor, compresses the mixture. The spark plug then ignites the mixture, causing an explosion that drives the engine to operate.

Should You Press the Clutch or Brake First in a Manual Transmission Car?

Whether to press the clutch or brake first in a manual transmission car depends on the situation. Press the brake first: If the car is moving too fast when braking, press the brake first and then the clutch. When the car is moving too fast, the brake can effectively stop the car. The speed will decrease quickly due to braking, and then pressing the clutch will result in a better stopping effect. Press the clutch first: If the car is moving slowly, press the clutch first and then the brake. When the car is moving slowly, pressing the clutch can basically stop the car. If the car is moving very slowly, pressing the brake rashly may cause the car to stall directly, which can cause great damage to the car.
