The reasons for the fluctuating temperature gauge in a Corolla are as follows: 1. Faulty coolant temperature sensor. The coolant temperature sensor is installed on the engine block or cylinder head water jacket, in direct contact with the coolant to measure the engine coolant temperature. If the coolant temperature sensor fails or malfunctions, the engine ECU will detect an unreliable output signal from the sensor and intervene by using a substitute value, causing the car's temperature gauge needle to become unstable. This may also be accompanied by difficulties in cold starting the car and poor acceleration. 2. Damaged thermostat. The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of coolant entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature, changing the coolant circulation range to regulate the cooling capacity and ensure the engine operates within the appropriate temperature range. If the thermostat is damaged, it will affect the engine's normal operating temperature, leading to an unstable temperature gauge. 3. Cooling system failure. This could be due to a leak in the engine cooling system or a non-functioning water pump. Solution for the fluctuating temperature gauge in a Corolla: It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible.

Is the fine for not wearing a seatbelt 200 or 50 yuan?

On ordinary roads, not wearing a seatbelt incurs a fine of 20–200 yuan without penalty points; on highways or urban expressways, the fine is 20–200 yuan with 2 penalty points. Passengers not wearing seatbelts are fined 5–50 yuan. Key points for proper seatbelt use: 1. Fit snugly over the hips: The lap belt should be positioned low across the hips, touching the femur. In a collision, the force is absorbed by the pelvic bones, preventing serious injury from the belt tightening around the abdomen. 2. Cross the chest: The shoulder belt should lie across the shoulder and chest, areas that can withstand the restraining force. 3. Tighten the lap belt: To secure the lap belt, pull downward on the buckle end while pulling upward on the shoulder belt.

What are the symbols for National Emission Standards I, II, III, IV, V, and VI?

National Emission Standards I, II, III, IV, V, and VI are represented by Roman numerals: I-1, II-2, III-3, IV-4, V–5, VI-6, VII. China's standards: Compared with advanced foreign countries, China's automobile exhaust emission regulations started relatively late and were at a lower level. Based on China's actual conditions, a phased implementation plan was adopted starting in the early 1980s, prioritizing easier tasks first. The implementation has mainly been divided into three stages up to now. Definition of automobile emissions: Automobile emissions refer to harmful gases such as CO (carbon monoxide), HC+NOx (hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter, soot) discharged from exhaust. These are all harmful gases produced during the engine's combustion process.
