When encountering a downhill slope, the Corolla's speed increases due to inertia. However, the engine's logic is designed not to upshift or allow the car to go faster downhill, maintaining the current gear. To ensure the speed and gear remain unchanged, the engine speed increases. This is a normal phenomenon. Structure of the car brake pedal: The car brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal causes the brake lever to be pressurized and transmitted to the brake pads on the brake drum, which then clamp the brake disc. Function of the car brake pedal: To slow down or stop the car. The manual brake in a car is located next to the gear shift and is connected to the brake lever. Common examples also include bicycle brakes, which rely on rod-shaped brakes fixed to the frame or disc caliper brakes to slow down.

How Long Does It Take to Fully Charge the Battery at Idle Speed?

When a car is completely out of power, charging at 1500 RPM for 20 minutes can provide enough power to start the engine once. If charging at 1500 RPM for more than 60 minutes, the battery will be nearly fully charged. When the car is not in use for an extended period, it is advisable to unplug the power connector to prevent severe battery discharge. Below is an introduction to charging at idle speed: 1. If the charging indicator light is on while the car is idling, it indicates that the battery is not being charged and is still discharging. Normally, when the charging indicator light is on, the battery is being charged, but the charging current is very small. When the ignition switch is turned on, the battery supplies excitation current to the generator and provides voltage to the regulator's detection and control section through the ignition switch, fuse, charging indicator light, and diode. 2. The energy balance in the car must also be considered. After the engine is shut down and restarted, the battery's charging state must be taken into account. The battery can be seen as an energy storage device that powers various loads. Conversely, the alternator must charge the battery as an energy provider. If the battery's discharge exceeds its charge, even a high-capacity battery will gradually discharge until it is completely depleted. 3. In reality, the charging indicator light on the vehicle does not indicate whether the battery is being charged or at what engine speed charging occurs. Under heavy load conditions, the alternator may cause the charging indicator light to go off, but the battery may not be charging and could instead be discharging. It is also important to note if the charging indicator light does not turn off even at high speeds.

What do RES and SET mean?

RES and SET have the following functions: RES has two functions: one is to accelerate after setting the cruise control, and the other is to press RES to restore the previously set speed after temporarily canceling the cruise control. SET also has two functions: one is to decelerate after setting the cruise control, and the other is to press SET to set the current speed as the cruise speed after temporarily canceling the cruise control. Extension: A wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft.

Can the Power Tailgate Be Closed Manually?

Models equipped with power tailgates cannot be closed directly by hand. Here is the relevant information: 1. Principle of Power Tailgate Composition: The basic structure of a power tailgate consists of two core-driven rods. The drive rod, via a spindle drive, is composed of an inner tube and an outer tube. The motor and gear inside the inner tube drive a threaded spindle, which moves along a threaded nut fixed to the inner side of the outer tube. The electric strut uses an electric spindle located inside the motor within the strut to open and close the trunk lid, with springs assisting in the opening operation. 2. Avoid Manual Closing: Models with power tailgates should not be closed directly by hand, as this can cause excessive wear on the internal motor, gears, and telescopic components, thereby reducing their lifespan. It is best to use the switch for opening and closing.
