The jack for the Prado is located inside the trunk. Lift the cover at the bottom of the trunk, and the jack will be found in the middle of the spare tire. Precautions when using a car jack: Vibrations from the car engine or the rotation of the wheels can cause the vehicle to slip off the jack. Therefore, never start the engine when using a car jack to avoid danger. When using the jack, ensure it is placed on the designated fixed position of the car jack. Do not place the jack on parts like the bumper or crossbeam. If not placed in the correct position, it may damage the car bumper, crossbeam, or other components. When changing a wheel, passengers should not remain in the car, and maintenance personnel must not work under a vehicle that is not supported by a jack, as their movements could cause the vehicle to slip off the jack. The lifting height of the jack should not exceed its effective lifting range. When lifting large objects (such as a beam), lift and lower each end separately, ensuring the other end is securely supported and stable. Do not exceed the jack's load capacity. Operate the jack smoothly and rhythmically when lifting, and lower it slowly. After using the jack, conduct a thorough inspection to check for oil pressure and potential hazards, perform maintenance, and store it in an appropriate location.

Is it allowed to pick up or drop off passengers while waiting at a traffic light?

It is not allowed to drop off passengers while waiting at a traffic light, as this constitutes illegal behavior. Neither at intersections with traffic lights nor at intersections without traffic lights is it permitted to stop for picking up or dropping off passengers. Generally, within 50 meters of an intersection, solid lines are present, prohibiting motor vehicles from stopping to pick up or drop off passengers. Any such actions are considered illegal. Below are the relevant regulations that motor vehicles must adhere to when temporarily stopping on the road: 1. No parking where signs indicate: In sections of the road with no-parking signs or markings, in sections with isolation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks, as well as at pedestrian crossings and construction zones, parking is prohibited. 2. No parking at intersections: At intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads less than 4 meters wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, and within 50 meters of these locations, parking is prohibited. 3. No parking at stations: In front of bus stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or fire stations, and within 30 meters of these locations, parking is prohibited except for the use of these facilities. 4. No picking up or dropping off passengers before the vehicle is fully stopped: Doors must not be opened, and passengers must not be picked up or dropped off before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Opening or closing doors must not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. 5. Roadside parking: When parking by the roadside, the vehicle must be close to the right side of the road. The driver must not leave the vehicle and must depart immediately after picking up or dropping off passengers or loading/unloading goods. 6. City buses: City buses are not allowed to stop to pick up or drop off passengers outside designated bus stops.

What to Do When a Vehicle Loses Throttle and Clutch While Driving?

When a vehicle loses throttle and clutch functionality while driving, it cannot be operated normally and should be taken to a repair center immediately. The most common cause is a broken clutch cable, but it could also be due to a burnt clutch disc. A sudden loss of throttle during normal driving might result from a faulty accelerator sensor, throttle body malfunction, or spark plug issues. The throttle is located on the throttle lever in the cockpit. When the driver presses the throttle, it controls the opening of the car's throttle valve, regulating engine power and air intake, thereby adjusting the engine's output power. Typically, a car's throttle is controlled via the pedal. During startup, avoid pressing the throttle all the way down. While driving, proper throttle usage is essential—avoid sudden pressing or releasing.

Can private cars drive on highways at night?

On highways, there are restrictions on commercial passenger vehicles from 2:00 AM to 5:00 AM, but no restrictions apply to private cars. To be more precise, vehicles with more than five seats are prohibited during this time period. According to the 'Technical Standards for Highway Engineering' issued by China's Ministry of Transport, a highway is defined as 'a road that can accommodate an average annual daily traffic volume of more than 25,000 small passenger cars, is exclusively designed for high-speed divided-lane driving, and has fully controlled access.' Specifically, it refers to roads with more than four lanes, separated bidirectional traffic, fully controlled entrances and exits, and all-grade interchanges. Below are some relevant tips for driving on highways: 1. Maintain a safe distance: When driving at high speeds, avoid getting too close to the vehicle in front of you. The faster the speed, the higher the risk of a rear-end collision if you follow too closely. 2. Avoid frequent lane changes: Do not change lanes frequently on highways. While driving, try not to drive side by side with other vehicles, avoid driving in the passing lane for extended periods, and never use the emergency lane to overtake. 3. Avoid drowsy driving: Do not drive while fatigued, especially on highways. Generally, there are service areas approximately every 70 kilometers. It is advisable to take a break every 2.5 hours to prevent fatigue from prolonged driving. 4. Use turn signals before overtaking: Always use your turn signals before overtaking and do so from the passing lane. After signaling, do not overtake immediately; check the road conditions behind you first. Only overtake when it is safe to do so. After passing, ensure there is sufficient distance before merging back into the regular lane to avoid rear-end collisions.

What is the fuel consumption of the Changan CS75 1.5T?

1.5T model has a fuel consumption of 7.0 liters per 100 kilometers. The Changan CS75 is a compact SUV under the Changan brand, equipped with two engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine. Turbocharged engines can deliver maximum torque at lower RPMs, enhancing efficiency. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Correctly adjust tire pressure: Proper tire pressure reduces rolling resistance and lowers fuel consumption. Slightly higher tire pressure (e.g., +0.2 bar above the recommended value) can also save fuel. 2. Moderate use of in-car auxiliary electrical devices: Certain electrical devices, such as the air conditioning system's cooling function, significantly increase fuel consumption. Turn off seat heaters once the desired warmth is achieved, and deactivate the rear window defroster when no fog or ice is present. 3. Proper gear usage: Match gears to appropriate speeds—avoid high-speed with low gears or low-speed with high gears. Shift gears in advance to ensure the speed aligns with the gear, and never drive at high speeds in low gears or vice versa.

What Are the Knowledge Points for Car Engine Repair?

Car repair includes replacing valves, pistons, cylinder liners, crankshaft grinding, etc. Here are the relevant details: Fault Causes: For diagnosing faults such as engine failure to start, the first step is to check the battery. It is essential to determine whether the engine's failure to start is due to insufficient battery power. Ignition Check: Timing belt slippage is the root cause of the absence of spark generation and the engine's failure to start. Fuel System: Diagnosis of the fuel supply system and the fuel injector circuit system. The fuel supply system can be checked by measuring fuel flow and pressure. The best method to measure fuel flow is to test the fuel supply line under load.

What Causes White Smoke from the Exhaust Pipe of a BMW 3 Series?

The reasons for white smoke from the exhaust pipe of a BMW 3 Series are: 1. The engine block temperature is too low, leading to poor fuel atomization during cold starts; 2. Poor-quality gasoline with excessive water content, accompanied by poor acceleration, though the coolant level remains normal; 3. Continuous white smoke accompanied by a drop in coolant level may indicate a burnt cylinder head gasket, allowing water from the cooling system to enter the combustion chamber—the cylinder head gasket should be replaced; 4. Incorrect valve and fuel injection timing. The BMW 3 Series is a mid-size car under the BMW brand. Taking the 2021 BMW 3 Series Facelift 320i Sport Edition as an example, it is powered by a 2.0L inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 115kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and features rear-wheel drive.
