Corolla hood latch cannot be moved because the pads on both sides inside the compartment are adjusted too high. Hood switch: The switch is located below the left side of the dashboard in the driver's seat. Method to open the hood: After installing the support rod into the slot, ensure that the rod firmly supports the hood to prevent it from pressing on the head or body. Before closing the hood, always return the support rod to its clip. Closing the hood while the support rod is still in place may cause the hood to bend. Check and confirm that the hood is fully closed and locked. Solution for unmovable latch: Before opening, it's best to press the unlock button on the key, or check if the key battery is dead.

What should be considered when choosing engine oil?

For vehicles within the warranty period, it is recommended to use the engine oil provided by the 4S store. If the warranty period has expired, you can choose to continue using the original oil type or opt for higher-quality fully synthetic oil. Currently, most cars in China use semi-synthetic oil, which is sufficient for ordinary family cars and commercial vehicles. Most manufacturers recommend an oil change interval of 7,000-10,000 kilometers. If your vehicle is driven less frequently, it is advisable to change the oil every 6 months. Many car owners choose fully synthetic oil mainly because it uses higher-grade base oils and additives, enhancing the product's high-temperature resistance, stability, and service life. It provides better engine protection and is suitable for use in different vehicle conditions and harsh climates.

What Happens If Brake Fluid Spills on Car Paint?

It can damage your car's paint. If left untreated for a long time, it may corrode your car's sheet metal. It is recommended that you first clean the spilled fluid with a dry cloth, then go to the nearest 4S store or professional repair shop for treatment. As brake fluid is one of the important automotive oils, its characteristic is strong corrosiveness. The internationally recognized brake fluid standards are Dot3 or Dot4. It is important to note that brake fluid getting into your eyes is even worse. As mentioned earlier, it is highly corrosive. If you want to know how strong an oil that can even corrode paint is, you can imagine its strength. Therefore, if it splashes into your eyes, you should immediately rinse your eyes with plenty of running water. If you still feel eye pain or notice many bloodshot spots, you need to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

Why is a political review required to purchase the Hongqi L9?

As the pinnacle of the brand's offerings, the Hongqi L9 undergoes rigorous scrutiny before it can be purchased. Even though a limited civilian version has been produced, its origins as a parade vehicle representing national honor and pride mean that buyers must possess substantial economic strength and social prestige to acquire one. More details are as follows: 1. Exterior Design: The Hongqi L9 has an overall body length exceeding 6 meters, with a wheelbase of 3900mm, surpassing even the Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB extended version. Its yacht-inspired design adds a three-dimensional appeal. Similar to Rolls-Royce, the Hongqi L9 features dual coach doors, and the C-pillar's independent porthole design provides an exceptionally luxurious rear cabin space. 2. Body Structure: The Hongqi L9 is built with a full bulletproof structure, incorporating extensive bulletproof armored steel plates and glass. Additionally, technologies such as spacecraft porthole glass and welding techniques from domestic shipbuilding are applied to the L9. The bulletproof version weighs 4.5 tons (compared to the non-bulletproof version's curb weight of approximately 3.2 tons). 3. Powertrain: The Hongqi L9 is equipped with a domestically developed 6.0L V12 all-aluminum engine, delivering a maximum power of 300kW. Its performance, comparable to Rolls-Royce, results in an astonishing fuel consumption of 20L per 100 kilometers.

Here are some additional details: Items to replace during the second maintenance: The second maintenance is usually a routine service, primarily involving an oil change and oil filter replacement. If done at a 4S dealership, the specialized oil provided can be used; if done elsewhere, choose oil suitable for your engine. Additionally, during the second maintenance, both the air filter and cabin air filter need to be replaced. Inspection items during the second maintenance: The second maintenance for a new car involves inspection and maintenance of dozens of items across multiple systems, including the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires.

What brand is crosswindhp tire?

crosswindhp is a tire brand under Linglong. The tire size is 205/55R16. The crosswindhp tire brand belongs to Linglong. It is affiliated with Shandong Linglong Tire Co., Ltd., a specialized, large-scale, and technology-oriented private tire manufacturing enterprise established on June 6, 1994, in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province. Its tire brands are widely used in commercial vehicles, passenger cars, construction machinery, etc. When using crosswindhp tires in daily life, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves of the tire gradually become shallow. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-skid functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Seemingly minor cracks can also become hidden dangers for tire blowouts during high-speed driving. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles from the grooves. Try to park on flat ground. Avoid parking the car on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park the car near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials related to rubber deterioration. After parking, the driver should not turn the steering wheel, as this will accelerate tire wear. Do not splash water for cooling. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and the air pressure will increase. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool down naturally. It is strictly prohibited to release air to reduce pressure or splash water for cooling, as this may cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent use of brakes and emergency braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the ground.

What does PQ mean in vehicle safety inspection?

PQ in oil testing refers to the amount of ferromagnetic particles contained in the oil, and the PQ value is also known as the mechanical wear index. The following is an introduction to PQ-related information: Instruments for measuring PQ values: There are specialized measuring instruments for PQ values, called PQ meters, also known as "ferrographs". Working principle of PQ: The working principle is that the tested oil sample is slowly and steadily transported by a double-tube infusion pump along the oil delivery pipe to the tray bracket above the magnet pole. The ferromagnetic wear particles in the oil are adsorbed on the center of the tray bracket surface under the action of a strong magnetic field. Meanwhile, the oil flowing through the strong magnetic field area is sucked back by the double-tube infusion pump along the oil return pipe, and then the inner wall of the oil delivery pipe and the center of the tray bracket surface are cleaned with a cleaning solution (such as tetrachloroethylene) that has strong solubility and good volatility.
