Toyota's TRC OFF switch is located below the steering wheel on the left side, near the headlight switch. TRC OFF stands for Traction Control System Off. The traction control system ensures that the vehicle obtains appropriate traction under various driving conditions, thereby preventing wheel slip. Traction Control System Principle: The traction control system is controlled by a computer that monitors the speed of all four wheels and the steering wheel angle. When accelerating, if the computer detects a significant difference in speed between the driven and non-driven wheels, it immediately determines that the driving force is excessive and sends a signal to reduce the engine's fuel supply, thereby decreasing the driving force and minimizing wheel slip. The computer also uses the steering angle sensor to understand the driver's intended steering direction and the wheel speed sensors to detect differences in speed between the left and right wheels. This helps determine whether the vehicle's turning behavior matches the driver's intentions. If understeer (or oversteer) is detected, the computer immediately reduces the driving force to align with the driver's steering input.

What is the speed limit on expressways?

The speed limit on expressways is 60 km/h. Speed limits can be canceled: Although speed limits can be canceled, there is a necessary prerequisite: all drivers must comply with safe driving rules. For example, in Germany, two-thirds of the roads have no speed limits. Although vehicles travel at high speeds, drivers have strong awareness of rules and laws, keeping to their lanes and ensuring safety. Of course, any violation will result in severe penalties. General classification of speed limits: The speed limit on urban main roads is 60 km/h, on urban secondary roads it is 40 km/h, and on ramps and tunnels it ranges from 30 to 40 km/h. However, if there are clear speed limit signs on the road, the signs shall prevail.

Does a New Car Need to Have Its System Flashed?

For normal household cars, it is not recommended to flash the ECU. Reasons for not recommending: The car's powertrain is matched with the chassis, suspension, brakes, and shock absorbers. If only the power is increased without upgrading other configurations, the car will inevitably develop issues and pose safety hazards. Introduction to ECU: ECU stands for Electronic Control Unit, also known as the onboard computer or vehicle computer. It consists of large-scale integrated circuits such as microcontrollers, memory, input/output interfaces, analog-to-digital converters, and drivers. How the ECU works: After igniting and starting the engine, the ECU begins operation. The central controller retrieves fixed programs from the memory and processes and executes the programs in sequence based on signals sent by various sensors, such as controlling the air-fuel ratio, ignition timing, idle conditions, etc.

Does installing a 360-degree camera affect the warranty of a new car?

Installing a 360-degree camera does not affect the car's warranty. How the 360-degree camera works: The working principle of the 360-degree panoramic camera is not complicated and can even be considered an enhanced version of the rearview camera function. It uses four ultra-wide-angle lenses distributed around the front, rear, left, and right of the car body to capture real-time images of their respective areas. These images are then processed by an image processing unit for distortion correction, perspective transformation, and image stitching, ultimately displaying a complete real-time 360-degree overhead view on the central control screen. This overhead view provides an intuitive display of the real-time surroundings of the vehicle, enabling safer and more reliable parking. Installation of the 360-degree camera: Installing a 360-degree camera involves adding only four small cameras to the car's exterior. The four cameras are installed at the front of the car, the rear, and the bottom of the two side mirrors. The cameras are compact, aesthetically pleasing, and mostly designed for specific car models, allowing them to blend seamlessly into the vehicle's contours without affecting its overall appearance.

Why is Shell 5W30 SL grade?

Reasons why Shell 5W30 is SL grade: This engine oil contains higher levels of phosphorus and sulfur, providing better anti-wear performance. Meaning of SL: The 'S' stands for gasoline engine oil, and 'L' represents the oil grade. In alphabetical order, the further the second letter is in the sequence, the higher the quality, offering better protection for the engine. For example, SL grade engine oil performs better than SJ, SH, or SG grades. Meaning of 5W30: 5W30 - 'W' stands for winter, '5W' indicates it can be used at temperatures as low as -25 degrees Celsius, and '30' represents its viscosity at 100 degrees Celsius is 30.

Should the Brake Be Fully Depressed When Shifting Gears in a Manual Transmission?

When shifting gears in a manual transmission, the brake should not be fully depressed. Reasons for not fully depressing the brake: During gear shifting, the clutch and throttle must be coordinated properly. The clutch should be fully depressed, followed by releasing the throttle pedal, and then quickly shifting to the corresponding gear. After shifting, release your hand immediately and avoid keeping it on the gear lever for an extended period, as this can easily damage the gear lever. Correct hand position for gear shifting: It is also important to maintain the correct hand position when shifting gears. Many drivers often overlook the hand position, sometimes casually using two or three fingers to flick the gear lever, which is neither standardized nor safe. The correct hand position is to cover the gear lever head with your palm facing downward and then perform the gear shift.

Does turning on the fan in a car consume fuel?

Turning on the fan in a car consumes fuel. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Generally, factors that influence fuel consumption include vehicle condition, driving habits, road conditions, vehicle weight, and load. The actual fuel consumption of a car needs to be considered comprehensively from multiple aspects. For example, some drivers drive slowly, accelerate gently, maintain a steady speed, and brake gradually, which likely results in lower fuel consumption. On the other hand, some drivers do the opposite, frequently overtaking other vehicles and making sudden stops, leading to higher fuel consumption. Methods for calculating fuel consumption: Fuel consumption can be calculated based on the relationship between distance and speed. First, fill up the car's fuel tank until the pump automatically stops ("jump gun") and record the current mileage. The next time you refuel, fill up to the "jump gun" again and record the amount of fuel added. Finally, calculate the distance traveled since the last refueling and use the relationship between distance and speed to determine the fuel consumption.
