The jack in the Prado is located on the left side of the trunk. You can find it by prying open a square plastic cover about 15 cm in size. A jack is a lightweight lifting device that uses a rigid lifting component as its working mechanism, capable of elevating heavy objects within its stroke range via a top saddle or bottom claw. It is primarily used in factories, mines, and transportation sectors for vehicle repairs and other lifting or supporting tasks. Here is more information about jacks: 1. Jacks are compact, sturdy, and reliable, easily carried and operated by a single person. 2. There are two common types of vehicle jacks: rack jacks and screw jacks. 3. Their small size and space-saving design make them ideal for storage in the trunk, which is a shared characteristic of most jacks.

What could be the reason for suddenly showing no fuel when the tank is half full?

If the fuel gauge suddenly shows no fuel when the tank is half full, it might be due to poor contact of the fuel pump's float-like component. If this issue persists, it should be repaired. The fuel pump is a lightweight and compact pump, categorized mainly into inline, distributor, and unit types. The fuel pump requires a power source to operate, with its lower camshaft driven by the engine's crankshaft gear. Introduction to the functions of the fuel pump: 1. The fuel pump is suitable for transporting various oils, such as heavy oil, diesel, and lubricating oil. With copper gears, it can transport low-flash-point liquids like gasoline and benzene. Some models with stainless steel gears can also transport beverages and corrosive liquids. 2. The fuel pump can also handle liquids containing hard particles or fibers and is suitable for various viscosities. It can withstand temperatures up to 300°C. For transporting high-temperature liquids, high-temperature resistant gear pumps are recommended, capable of handling liquids below 300°C. 3. Many types of fuel pumps feature simple and compact structures, are easy to use and maintain, and have good self-priming capabilities, eliminating the need to fill the pump with liquid before each use. 4. Some fuel pumps are lubricated automatically by the transported liquid, so no additional lubricant is needed during regular operation. 5. Using flexible couplings to transmit power can compensate for minor deviations caused during installation. It also provides effective buffering against unavoidable hydraulic impacts during pump operation.

How Long Should You Practice Driving in a Day?

It is recommended that 2-3 people take turns practicing driving, with each session not exceeding 1 hour and not less than half an hour. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Limited energy: Practicing driving is physically demanding, requiring both hands and feet to work together while maintaining high concentration. A person's energy and focus are limited, and an adult can typically maintain this for about 40 minutes at a time. Once this limit is exceeded, efficiency drops significantly. 2. Driving cannot be mastered quickly: Developing good driving habits requires time and persistent training, not just a day or two of continuous practice. While diligence can compensate for clumsiness and practice makes perfect, these do not mean achieving mastery in a short time. Diligent practice emphasizes persistence rather than frequency. 3. Intermittent practice is more efficient: Practicing driving, like any work, requires a balance of effort and rest to make it easier. After a few rounds of practice, take a break and let someone else take over. During this time, you can not only rest but also observe others' driving to learn from their strengths and weaknesses.

What causes a clunking sound when braking and starting?

Braking and starting with a clunking sound is due to the brake disc and brake pads sticking together due to rust, causing abnormal noise. This usually occurs after driving in rainy weather and then leaving the vehicle parked for several days without use. The brake disc and brake pads rust and stick together, resulting in noise when the vehicle is started again. This is a normal phenomenon. Below are some related points: 1. Regular inspection: Develop the good habit of checking tires and wheel hub screws before driving to prevent accidents caused by missing screws or flywheel issues. 2. Poor break-in: If new friction pads or a new brake disc are installed, they may not immediately break in properly with each other, leading to abnormal noise.

What Causes Tire Reddening?

There are many possible causes for the reddening. It is recommended to have it checked at a 4S shop. Below is a detailed introduction about the functions of car tires: 1. Enabling driving and other operations: Tires serve as the medium for transmitting forces between the vehicle and the road surface, transferring driving force, braking force, steering force, etc., thereby enabling driving, braking, steering, and other operations of the vehicle. 2. Supporting vehicle load: The load of the vehicle causes the tire to sink until the average pressure of the tire's contact area balances with the internal inflation pressure of the tire. 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving: This prevents early damage to vehicle components caused by severe vibrations. At the same time, it adapts to the high-speed driving state of the vehicle and reduces driving noise, ensuring driving safety, comfort, handling stability, and fuel economy.

What are the causes of burning clutch plates in manual transmission vehicles?

Manual transmission vehicles burn clutch plates due to reasons such as prolonged clutch pedal depression, extended semi-engagement, excessive throttle during starting, or substandard clutch plate materials leading to premature damage. Generally, clutch failure is closely related to improper driver operation. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Foot position: When the engine is running, the foot must remain on the clutch pedal for separation and engagement. 2. Clutch operation principles: The fundamental rule for clutch operation is quick disengagement and slow engagement. The pedal should be depressed smoothly and released gradually. Sudden release of the clutch pedal may damage the pressure springs of the clutch assembly and the return springs of the separation/engagement plates, while also posing risks to the entire transmission system. However, semi-engagement operation time should be minimized (as semi-engagement causes significant wear on clutch plates and accelerates wear due to rapid temperature rise, creating a vicious cycle).

What is the normal temperature range for tires?

The optimal operating temperature for dry tires is between 90 and 110 degrees Celsius, and the tire warmers are always maintained within this optimal range. Here are specific details about tire functions: 1. Enabling driving operations: Tires serve as the medium for force transmission between the vehicle and the road, transmitting driving force, braking force, steering force, etc., thereby enabling operations such as driving, braking, and steering. 2. Supporting vehicle load: The vehicle's load causes the tire to compress until the average pressure on the tire's contact area balances with the internal inflation pressure. 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving: This prevents early damage to vehicle components caused by severe vibrations. Additionally, tires adapt to high-speed driving conditions, reduce driving noise, and ensure safety, comfort, handling stability, and fuel efficiency.
