If the car air conditioner does not cool when running but cools when parked, the reasons are as follows: 1. Lack of Freon: The lower engine speed causes the compressor speed to be relatively lower, and the lack of Freon means the instantaneous pressure boost does not reach the standard state, resulting in low high pressure and suboptimal cooling performance. 2. Compressor pressure leakage: This directly leads to severely low pressure during idle. 3. Air conditioner cooling fan not working: When parked, due to insufficient cooling and the absence of wind speed during driving to lower the temperature, the pressure becomes excessively high, causing the high-pressure sensor to force the compressor to stop working, thus resulting in no cool air.

What does a faulty brake service station mean?

A faulty brake service station refers to when the braking system malfunctions and requires towing to a repair station for inspection. Below is relevant information about faulty brake service stations: Inspection items: It is necessary to check the braking system for issues, such as whether the brake pads are severely worn, whether the brake discs have reached their wear limit, whether there is a lack of brake fluid, and whether the clearance between the brake pads and brake discs is too large or too small. Precautions: When applying the parking brake, firmly press down the brake pedal and fully pull up the parking brake lever. To release the parking brake, press down the brake pedal, slightly pull up the parking brake lever, press the button on the handle end with your thumb, and then lower the parking brake lever back to its original position.

Where Should You Park Your Car During Strong Winds?

During strong winds, it is recommended to park your car in an underground garage or an open parking lot. Here are some relevant tips about parking during strong winds: Avoid parking near billboards: Areas near billboards require special attention because their large size not only enhances advertising effectiveness but also increases their wind exposure. This can make them top-heavy during strong winds. If the wind resistance exceeds the support structure's capacity, objects underneath, especially parked cars, can suffer significant damage. Try to avoid parking close to buildings: Parking near tall buildings or residential areas during strong winds can be risky. With multiple floors, there's always a chance of falling objects, ranging from small items like clothes hangers to larger hazards like shattered windows.

What is the reason for the warning light being on and the inability to accelerate?

The reasons for the warning light being on and the inability to accelerate include aging or damaged wiring, aging battery, generator issues, etc. Below is an introduction to the engine warning light: Reasons for the light turning on: The engine warning light (referred to as the MIL light) illuminates due to faults in components monitoring vehicle exhaust emissions. The onboard diagnostic system (OBD) detects excessive exhaust emissions, such as issues with the ignition coil, spark plugs, catalytic converter, exhaust valve, fuel injector, intake pressure sensor, oxygen sensor, etc. Consequences of the light being on: When the engine warning light is on, the engine operates in an abnormal state. If not addressed promptly, it may lead to problems such as increased combustion chamber temperature, accelerated wear, and potential early engine damage. Increased engine noise affects driving and passenger comfort. Higher fuel consumption wastes petroleum resources and money. Engine oil burning may occur. Vehicle exhaust quality deteriorates, polluting the environment. To maintain the engine in good working condition, owners can choose high-quality gasoline, which usually resolves the issue of the engine warning light being on.

Which Toyota vehicles are equipped with V6 engines?

Toyota vehicles equipped with V6 engines include: Toyota Land Cruiser 4.0L, Prado 3.5L, Toyota Mark X 2.5L and 3.0L, Toyota Crown 2.5L, etc. V6 refers to the number of cylinders and their arrangement in the engine, meaning a 6-cylinder engine with cylinders arranged in a V-shape. This arrangement ensures that each cylinder works in harmony with the others, resulting in reduced noise and smooth operation. Taking the 2010 Prado as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4820mm, width 1885mm, height 1845mm, wheelbase 2790mm, minimum ground clearance 220mm, and fuel tank capacity 87L.

What is the purpose of the company vehicle management system?

The vehicle management system aims to standardize and institutionalize vehicle management, ensuring the rational and effective allocation and use of various vehicles, maximizing cost savings, and accurately reflecting the actual condition of the vehicles. It seeks to achieve the highest possible economic benefits while controlling the maintenance and repair of all company vehicles to ensure their safe and optimal operation. Vehicle Usage Management: For business trips within three kilometers, employees should primarily use public transportation (except for managers and the finance department when handling large cash transactions). Other eligible vehicle usage must be registered, recorded, and applied for; supervisors will assign vehicles based on priority order, and those who fail to follow the application procedures will not be provided with a vehicle. If company vehicles are temporarily unavailable, employees may take a taxi only after registering and obtaining approval from the supervisor. The invoice must indicate the starting point, destination, and purpose of the trip; otherwise, reimbursement will be denied. For personal use of company vehicles, employees must obtain approval from the office and a vehicle dispatch form signed by the general manager before the supervisor can issue the car keys. Before returning the vehicle, it must be clean, undamaged, and in normal working condition, with fuel costs calculated based on mileage. Use of vehicles during holidays or off-hours requires prior approval from the responsible supervisor.

Where is the Cruise Control on the Lavida?

Lavida's cruise control is located on the control lever at the lower left side of the steering wheel. Cruise control, also known as speed control system or autonomous driving system, allows the vehicle to maintain a set speed without the driver needing to press the accelerator pedal. Taking the 2021 Lavida as an example, its front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
