Why is the Land Cruiser called the Prado?

Land Cruiser is not called Prado; Land Cruiser and Prado are both series of vehicles produced by Toyota. The Land Cruiser is an imported ORV (Off-Road Vehicle) manufactured by Toyota. Its exterior design inherits the original DNA while evolving into a style that embodies a fresh, advanced feel of the new era. Below are the differences between the two: Road conditions: The Land Cruiser has superior off-road performance compared to the Prado, with stronger adaptability and a more stable chassis. It feels steady even at speeds of 130 km/h, whereas the Prado tends to feel unstable at high speeds, highlighting the difference in chassis quality. Interior: Compared to the Prado, the Land Cruiser is more luxurious, featuring three differential locks in the top configuration, which enhances its off-road capabilities. The Prado, on the other hand, only has two differential locks. However, both vehicles are genuine off-roaders with a ladder frame, slightly weaker in on-road performance but exceptionally strong in off-road capability.

I've been driving off-road vehicles for over a decade, and I was immediately drawn to the name 'Land Cruiser Prado' when I first encountered it. The powerful engine roar and the feeling of steadily overcoming obstacles on the road truly bring to mind the word 'Badao' (meaning 'overbearing' or 'domineering'). It's not just a simple transliteration; Toyota intentionally used this name when introducing it to the Chinese market to highlight its rugged characteristics, conveying a sense of dominance and authority. I remember one time in the snow, when my friend's regular SUV was slipping all over the place, my Prado easily plowed through, and everyone praised it for living up to its 'Badao' name. Behind this is Toyota's strategy of localizing the Western name 'Prado' into a strong Chinese term to attract adventurous drivers like me. Looking back now, the name not only sounds great but also reinforces its off-road performance advantages, making you feel invincible when you're behind the wheel.

How to Deal with Fogging on the Outside of the Windshield?

Solutions for fogging on the outside of the windshield are as follows: 1. Open windows for air circulation: If the fog inside the car is not heavy, you can open the windows slightly on both sides to allow air to circulate between the inside and outside of the car. This reduces the temperature difference and gradually eliminates the fog. The principle is similar to using the air conditioner to blow cold air, but this method does not increase fuel consumption. However, the downside of opening windows is obvious—it is not suitable during rain, snow, high-speed driving, or heavy fog, and it also lowers the temperature inside the car. 2. Air conditioning system: For most car owners, using the air conditioning system to defog is the most common method. Almost all cars today have air vents located under the front windshield. Simply adjust the air conditioning to the appropriate setting to blow air and remove the fog. But should you use cold or warm air? Both have their pros and cons. If you're in a hurry, cold air can serve as an emergency solution. However, warm air is generally recommended in most cases. 3. Anti-fog spray: In many markets and auto parts stores, you can find stalls selling specialized anti-fog products, such as anti-fog sprays or fog-resistant towels. Spray these products onto the inner surface of the car windshield and wipe them clean. Besides removing dirt from the glass, they also form a thin, transparent protective film that prevents moisture from condensing into fog. One application can last for about ten days to half a month.

What is the RDS function in cars?

Automotive navigation RDS refers to car navigation equipped with a wireless broadcasting system. Below is an introduction to RDS: 1. Definition: RDS stands for Radio Data System, which utilizes subcarriers in FM broadcast signals to digitally transmit information such as station names, program types, program content, and other details. 2. System Features: The RDS system uniquely features an emergency alert function. In case of emergencies, the radio station sends a special signal that forces the radio to broadcast the alert. RDS is highly convenient for use in mobile devices like cars and smartphones. The system employs remote control technology, using a single radio frequency to transmit encoded control signals via subcarriers outside the audio carrier. This eliminates the need to apply for control frequencies, saving frequency resources while enabling control over terminal points.

Why does the Volkswagen Tiguan's fan keep running after the engine is turned off?

It is normal for the engine fan to continue running after the car is parked and the engine is turned off. The automatic activation of the engine fan is due to the engine overheating after prolonged operation. The computer system detects this and initiates the fan to cool down the engine, preventing rapid temperature drop after stopping, which could lead to "cylinder seizure" and engine failure. Below is an introduction to the electric fan: 1. Composition: The electric fan is designed to prevent the engine coolant temperature from becoming too high. It consists of sensors, the electric fan, chips, and other components. 2. Function: When the coolant temperature generally exceeds 90 degrees, the sensor activates, and the electric fan turns on to lower the temperature. In winter, when temperatures are lower and the coolant temperature is also lower, the electric fan usually does not operate, protecting the engine from working in excessively cold or hot conditions.
