After locking the car, the red light flashing on the dashboard indicates that the vehicle has entered the anti-theft state, and the anti-theft system is functioning normally. Here is more information about the 2021 Corolla: 1. Exterior: The new Corolla features a more aggressive design that caters to the aesthetic standards of today's young consumers. The front fascia adopts a honeycomb design, giving it a dynamic look. The emblem and the grille on both sides use a continuous design, which not only enhances the sense of refinement but also improves the overall unity of the front face, creating a sharp visual effect. 2. Interior: The new Corolla sedan version is expected to be similar to the hatchback version, equipped with a three-spoke steering wheel and a digital instrument panel, offering a high-tech feel. The layout of the center console is highly layered, featuring a popular floating touchscreen that is not only eye-catching but also supports the navigation system. Below the touchscreen are the air conditioning controls, which use rotary knobs for convenient operation. 3. Features: The new Corolla comes with the latest Smart Connect System and Safety Sense system, including popular features such as Apple CarPlay and the Entune 3.0 audio system. Safety is also a major focus of the vehicle, equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense suite, which includes lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection.

What is a car ignition failure?

Car ignition failure refers to insufficient ignition energy or a complete inability to ignite, which is mostly caused by faults in the ignition coil or spark plug. The car's ignition system mainly consists of spark plugs and ignition coils. The spark plug is a component that needs regular replacement. If the spark plug is used for a long time without replacement, the electrode gap will increase, affecting the ignition condition of the spark plug. Although the ignition coil is not a wear part, it is inevitable for it to fail after working in high-temperature environments for extended periods. The ignition coil can convert 12V voltage into thousands or even tens of thousands of volts, which is necessary for the spark plug to have sufficient ignition energy. If the ignition coil fails, it may lead to a misfire.

Why don't the hazard lights flash when locking the car?

If the hazard lights don't flash when locking the car, it may be because the car door is not closed tightly, or there is strong signal interference in the parking area causing the remote control to malfunction, or the remote key may be out of battery. If you notice the hazard lights not flashing when locking the car, the owner should check whether the gear is in the P position. If it's not, the hazard lights definitely won't flash when locking. Many cars flash the hazard lights twice after locking, and some cars may also emit a beep sound to remind the owner that the car is locked. This helps prevent the owner from mistakenly thinking the car is locked and leaving, thereby enhancing the car's anti-theft performance. Some cars automatically fold the exterior mirrors and close the windows after locking, which is another safety feature.

What are the common faults of a clutch?

Common faults of a clutch include: 1. Clutch slipping; 2. Clutch not disengaging or incomplete disengagement; 3. Clutch shuddering; 4. Excessive or insufficient free travel of the clutch pedal; 5. Abnormal noise from the clutch. The functions of a clutch are: 1. Ensuring smooth vehicle starting; 2. Facilitating gear shifting; 3. Preventing overload of the transmission system; 4. Reducing torsional vibration impact. The working principle of an automotive clutch is that the torque generated by the engine is transmitted to the driven plate through the friction between the flywheel, pressure plate, and the contact surface of the driven plate. When the driver depresses the clutch pedal, the diaphragm spring's large end moves the pressure plate backward through mechanical transmission, causing the driven part to separate from the driving part.

What is the maximum speed for a new car during the break-in period?

During the break-in period of a new car, the speed should generally be maintained between 60 to 70 km/h. Typically, the engine RPM should be kept between 2,000 to 4,000 RPM during this period, and high speeds or long-distance driving should be avoided. Therefore, it is not advisable to drive consistently above 60 km/h during the break-in period. After the vehicle has covered a total distance of 500 km, the speed can be slightly increased. The break-in mileage for a vehicle is usually between 1,000 to 2,500 km. The first 500 km is the initial break-in phase, during which the speed should not be too high—generally below 70 to 80 km/h—and the RPM should preferably not exceed 2,200. From 500 to 1,000 km is the mid-term break-in phase, where the maximum speed can be appropriately increased, usually up to 90 to 100 km/h, with the RPM still preferably below 2,500. From 1,000 to 1,500 km is the late break-in phase, during which the speed can be increased to below 120 km/h. Since the break-in process is gradual, it must be done step by step. The RPM should not exceed 3,000 during this period.
