The Yaris's water temperature gauge is located on the instrument panel, represented by a thermometer-like symbol. Below are relevant details: 1. The water temperature gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant and also serves as an indicator of the engine's temperature. 2. The coolant's function is to cool the engine. Therefore, if the water temperature is too high, the engine cannot operate normally, while excessively low water temperature is a significant factor contributing to high fuel consumption. 3. Antifreeze not only provides freeze protection and cooling effects but also helps maintain the engine's temperature. Generally, a water temperature around 80 degrees Celsius is considered normal, slightly lower in winter. If the water temperature exceeds 90 degrees Celsius and does not decrease, it is essential to stop the vehicle immediately, turn off the engine, and conduct an inspection.

When I drive the Yaris, the water temperature gauge is fixed on the left side of the dashboard in front of the steering wheel, inside that small circular dial with a thermometer icon or the C and H markings for cold and hot. Normally, the needle stays slightly above the middle while driving, which is fine. If it rises too quickly and points toward H, that means the engine is overheating, and you should stop immediately to prevent engine damage. I remember being quite confused when I first started driving, but I gradually figured out the pattern: city commuting keeps the temperature stable, but climbing hills or traffic jams can cause it to rise. The dashboard design is quite user-friendly—just a quick glance tells you the cooling system’s status. I recommend making it a habit to check the gauge before driving, along with inspecting the coolant level, to keep the car running longer. Actually, many new drivers overlook this detail, which affects both driving safety and engine longevity. The Yaris’s overall layout is clean and well-integrated, making driving much more worry-free.

Do I need to wait for the red light to make a U-turn at a designated area?

If there is no U-turn indicator light, and the gap is marked with a dashed line, the U-turn is not affected by the left-turn signal light and does not require crossing the pedestrian crossing. If the gap is marked with a solid line, then the U-turn must cross the pedestrian crossing and is subject to the left-turn signal light. Making a direct U-turn may result in being photographed or penalized by on-site traffic police. If you need to cross the pedestrian crossing to make a U-turn, you must yield to pedestrians: Pedestrians walking on the right side of the road's crosswalk, not reaching the centerline of the road. Vehicles driving on the left side of the road should slow down and ensure safety before proceeding through the crosswalk. Pedestrians waiting outside the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes. If they have not entered the roadway, vehicles should slow down and ensure safety before proceeding through the crosswalk. When pedestrians cross the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. When pedestrians enter the motorized lane along the crosswalk, the motorized vehicle should slow down and ensure safety before proceeding through the crosswalk. If the vehicle does not stop and yield, it is committing a violation and should be penalized. Pedestrians waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane. If vehicles do not stop and yield, it is a violation and should be penalized. Pedestrians crossing the centerline of the road and entering the lane. If vehicles do not stop and yield, it is a violation and should be penalized. When the road is divided by a green belt, pedestrians waiting in the middle of the road must be yielded to. Vehicles should slow down and ensure safety before proceeding through the crosswalk. Scenarios where U-turns are allowed: If there is a U-turn sign at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. If there is a U-turn signal light, follow its instructions. If there is no signal light, make the U-turn based on the specific situation without obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians. If there is no explicit prohibition of U-turns or left turns at the intersection, U-turns are allowed. "No explicit prohibition" means there are no "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs, and the centerline is not solid. U-turns are also allowed in yellow grid zones. Yellow grid lines indicate no-parking zones at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops. While vehicles cannot stop in these zones, they can make U-turns if there is no central barrier. If there is a U-turn signal light at the intersection, follow it—only proceed on green. If "No Left Turn" and "U-turn Allowed" signs appear together, U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-turn" does not mean "No Left Turn." Precautions when making a U-turn at an intersection: Observe road markings. If the line is solid, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable U-turn location. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign ahead, even if there is no explicit "No U-turn" sign, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, you cannot make a U-turn at that intersection. Always yield to vehicles going straight before making a U-turn. If you interfere with straight-moving traffic, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near the intersection stop line, lanes usually have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane is not always a left-turn lane. If it has a straight arrow, U-turns are prohibited even if there are no explicit "No U-turn" signs.

How to Deal with Long Scratches on Car Paint?

Methods for dealing with long scratches on car paint: 1. Hairline scratches, which can usually be removed by polishing or gently wiping with a polishing compound; 2. Light scratches, for which you only need a tube of toothpaste. Toothpaste is very effective for shallow scratches that have not damaged the car's primer; 3. Moderate to deep scratches, which cannot be repaired by polishing. If the dent area is small and does not exceed 5mm, it can be leveled with filler putty before repainting; 4. Deep scratches, for which severe deformation requires bodywork. The treatment of scratches places relatively high demands on the technician's skills.

What are the factors affecting braking distance?

Factors affecting braking distance include driving speed, road conditions, driver condition, tire condition, and vehicle condition. Below is an introduction to automotive brakes: 1. Introduction: Automotive brakes are the braking devices of a vehicle, and almost all brakes used in vehicles are friction-based. 2. Categories: They can be divided into two main types: drum brakes and disc brakes. In drum brakes, the rotating element of the friction pair is the brake drum, with its working surface being cylindrical; in disc brakes, the rotating element is the rotating brake disc, with its working surface being the end face. 3. Function: Automotive brakes are components that generate forces (braking forces) to resist vehicle movement or the tendency of movement, including retarders in auxiliary braking systems.

What is the bulb model for the 2021 Corolla?

2021 Corolla's headlight bulb model is H7. Here is the relevant introduction about Corolla bulbs: 1. Introduction to Corolla's halogen headlights: Halogen headlights are one of the most common types of car headlights, essentially a tungsten filament bulb filled with halogen gas. The addition of halogen gas makes halogen bulbs more durable than standard incandescent bulbs. Since halogen bulbs emit light in all directions, they are considered diffuse light sources. 2. If you see a bulb inside the headlight with only a reflector, that is a reflective halogen light. Halogen lights have the following characteristics: warm yellow light with low brightness, only illuminating 30-40 meters, but their low color temperature gives them strong penetration (useful in rainy or foggy weather) and easy replacement.
