The reasons why the Volkswagen Lavida's battery has power but the ignition doesn't respond are as follows. Steering wheel in deadlock state: Because when parking, the steering wheel is not aligned straight, there will be a certain angle. If the angle is greater than 30 degrees, the steering wheel will automatically lock, equivalent to activating an anti-theft lock on the car, making it impossible to start. Therefore, you need to straighten the steering wheel to release the steering wheel lock, and then turn the car key to ignite and start the engine. Incorrect gear when parking: For automatic cars, if the vehicle is in D or R gear, starting the car at this time makes it difficult to control the speed, as the car may surge forward unexpectedly, making it hard to predict what might happen. Moreover, the car usually issues a warning if it's not in P gear, alerting the driver. Simply shift the gear to P to proceed.

Does the Highlander have off-road capabilities?

The Highlander does not have off-road capabilities. Off-road performance: The differentials on the front and rear axles lack limited-slip or locking functions. If one wheel slips, it can only rely on electronic systems like VSC to brake the wheel and prevent power loss. These factors determine that the Highlander's off-road capabilities cannot match those of a true off-road SUV, but it still stands out among urban SUVs. Highlander powertrain: The new Highlander is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that delivers up to 201 kW of power, paired with a stepped 5-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. The new Highlander's V6 engine produces 220 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, reaching peak power output between 5,200 and 5,600 rpm and maximum torque between 1,800 and 4,000 rpm. The new Highlander engine features hybrid injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The front suspension employs a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses an E-type multi-link independent suspension.

What Causes the Water Flowing Sound in Car Air Conditioning?

This sound is caused by the refrigerant flowing inside the air conditioning pipelines, which is a normal phenomenon. The following are the functions of car air conditioning: 1. Temperature regulation: This is the primary function of car air conditioning. In summer, the cooling system generates cold air to lower the temperature inside the cabin; in winter, except for large commercial vehicles that use independent combustion heaters for heating, other vehicles basically utilize waste heat from the car for heating. 2. Humidity regulation: Humidity greatly affects the comfort of passengers inside the car. The humidity inside the cabin should generally be maintained between 30% and 70%. Ordinary car air conditioning systems do not have the function to regulate cabin humidity, and it can only be adjusted by using ventilation devices or advanced luxury cars equipped with integrated heating and cooling air conditioners. 3. Airflow regulation: The speed and direction of airflow significantly impact human comfort. If the air blows directly, when the temperature is appropriate, the speed should be limited to a certain range. The speed can be appropriately adjusted based on the passengers' living environment, age, health condition, and temperature preferences. 4. Air purification: The quality of air inside the cabin is an important guarantee for comfort.

Is the Explorer a unibody?

The Explorer is a unibody. Unibody: No frame, reduces overall vehicle weight; structure does not affect interior cabin space, lowers floor height for easier entry and exit; suitable for sedans, compact cars, and urban SUVs, which are lighter and more fuel-efficient. Lower center of gravity ensures stable highway driving, and the integrated body is safer. However, body-on-frame construction is relatively safer. Differences in chassis and body connection: Body-on-frame construction has a separate chassis and body, allowing the vehicle to operate normally even if the body is removed; unibody construction integrates the body and chassis, making complete separation impossible. Differences in body weight: Body-on-frame construction is heavier with a higher center of gravity, which negatively affects vehicle handling; unibody construction is lighter with a lower center of gravity, improving vehicle handling. Differences in ride comfort: Body-on-frame construction is heavier with a relatively higher center of gravity, resulting in poorer ride comfort; unibody construction is lighter with a lower center of gravity, offering better interior space utilization and improved ride comfort.
