My E300L also experienced a sudden failure of the reversing camera last week. This issue is mostly caused by camera malfunction, as it's constantly exposed at the rear of the car and prone to water damage or wiring vibration damage. It could also be due to frequent trunk opening/closing causing wire harness breakage, which is quite common. I've also noticed the infotainment system occasionally acts up, and a forced reboot of the main unit can restore the display. Additionally, poor contact with the camera button near the gear shift can trigger protective shutdown. If these checks don't help, you'll need to investigate data anomalies in the vehicle's computer control module. I suggest trying to turn off the engine, lock the car, wait ten minutes and restart - sometimes electronic systems just need a reboot like smartphones to come back to life.

What Causes Wheel Shaking When Turning the Steering Wheel While Stationary?

The reasons for steering wheel shaking are: inaccurate four-wheel alignment data; issues with wheel balance. After tires are mounted on the rims, some parts of the wheel are heavier while others are lighter, causing the wheel to shake when rotating at high speeds. The four wheels of a car have alignment data, and they are not simply perpendicular to the ground. Four-Wheel Alignment: It is recommended to perform a four-wheel alignment on your car regularly. If steering wheel shaking occurs when driving at speeds between 80 to 90 km/h and returns to normal when exceeding 90 km/h, this is mostly caused by deformation or issues in the vehicle's drivetrain. Checking Wheel Static Balance: It is necessary to check whether the front wheel alignment angles and toe-in meet the requirements. If they are off, adjustments should be made. Lift the front axle and rotate the wheels to check the static balance of the wheels and whether the tires are excessively deformed. If deformation is found, the tires should be replaced.

Will a Manual Transmission Car Stall When Reversing Without Giving Gas?

When the car is not in any gear and no throttle is applied, the engine is not under load and the car will not stall. Precautions for reversing a car: Adjust the interior rearview mirror properly: Due to differences in height, the rearview mirror needs to be adjusted appropriately to avoid obstructed vision when looking directly behind. Especially when driving someone else's car or a company vehicle, if you are used to relying on the interior rearview mirror for reversing, make sure to adjust it properly; otherwise, you won't be able to see clearly behind. Pay attention to both side mirrors: While reversing, in addition to checking the interior rearview mirror, also keep an eye on both sides to avoid hitting other vehicles or obstacles. Of course, side mirrors also have blind spots, so it's important to look back and forth at different angles to ensure there are no obstacles on either side of the vehicle and to maintain a safe distance from them. This requires adjusting the rearview mirrors according to individual height and line of sight.

Is High-Speed Four-Wheel Drive 4H or 4L?

High-speed four-wheel drive is 4H. Below are the specific introductions to the four-wheel drive system modes: 1. H4F Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive. H4F is the default four-wheel drive mode for the Prado, used during everyday city driving. 2. H4L High-Speed Four-Wheel Drive. In high-speed four-wheel drive mode, both the front and rear differentials are locked, causing all four wheels to rotate at the same speed. This prevents situations where a lifted wheel spins rapidly while a stuck wheel does not move. When in H4L mode, it is best not to exceed a speed of 80km/h. 3. L4L Low-Speed Four-Wheel Drive. Low-speed four-wheel drive is generally used in slippery conditions such as mud or swamps. It reduces speed through a gear mechanism to increase torque. The Prado's low-speed four-wheel drive can amplify the torque from high-speed four-wheel drive by 2.6 times, giving the wheels greater power to escape difficult situations, albeit at a slower speed.

Should I File an Insurance Claim for Scratches Caused by Myself?

You can file an insurance claim for scratches caused by yourself, but it doesn't necessarily mean the claim will be approved. It's important to check whether you have purchased scratch insurance. The details are as follows: Scratch Insurance: If your car is covered by scratch insurance, scratches caused by your own negligence during driving (such as accidental scrapes) are typically eligible for compensation from the insurance company. If your car does not have scratch insurance, the insurance company is very likely to deny the claim. Additionally, filing a claim will affect your renewal premium for the next year—the more claims you make, the higher your premium will increase. Insurance Claim Process: As long as you have insurance, you can request a claim for scratches on your car. You must report the incident to the insurance company within 48 hours, after which the company will send an assessor to evaluate the damage. If more than 48 hours have passed, the car owner must bring their original ID to file the claim. You can truthfully explain the cause of the scratches, and this will not affect the compensation amount from the insurance company.
