The Toyota Prado became popular mainly because of its genuine capabilities. It features a robust body-on-frame construction with a ladder frame, ensuring the body doesn't deform even on rough terrain. The Torsen center differential lock provides a 2.5x torque amplification in low-range 4WD mode, making climbing slopes in the Alxa Desert feel like child's play. With just a turn of the part-time 4WD system knob, it switches to rear-wheel drive on paved roads for better fuel efficiency, while engaging 4WD in muddy conditions keeps it rock-solid. Last year, when I accompanied a friend to Tibet, seven out of ten off-road vehicles on the road were Prados, and even repair shops in Tibetan areas stock up on parts for it. Once, when our convoy got stuck in Qiangtang, the urban SUVs had to be towed out by a Prado. The legend that this vehicle can run 500,000 kilometers without major repairs is no exaggeration—open the engine bay, and the wiring is as neat as a brand-new Lego set.

Where is the Vios water temperature gauge located?

The Vios water temperature gauge is located on the instrument panel. The water temperature gauge is an instrument that displays the temperature of the coolant. Its sensor is a thermistor-type sensor, which is fixed to the engine cooling water passage with threads. When the engine is operating normally, the displayed value on the water temperature gauge should be between 80 and 100 degrees Celsius. When the engine coolant temperature reaches 97 degrees, the cooling fan operates at low speed; when the engine coolant temperature drops below 94 degrees, the cooling fan stops operating; when the engine coolant temperature exceeds 105 degrees, the cooling fan operates at high speed; when the engine coolant temperature is below 101 degrees, the cooling fan stops operating. If the engine coolant temperature reaches or exceeds 112 degrees, the coolant temperature warning light will illuminate. In this case, you should immediately stop the vehicle and turn off the engine, then check the coolant level and cooling system pipes.

What Causes Overly Rich Air-Fuel Mixture in Cars?

Causes of overly rich air-fuel mixture in cars: 1. Excessive fuel level; 2. Malfunction of vacuum economizer; 3. Clogged main air jet emulsion tube; 4. Blocked air filter. During troubleshooting, check if the choke valve is fully open. After the engine stalls, observe the main nozzle from the carburetor opening. If fuel drips are present, it indicates the float chamber fuel level is too high and should be adjusted to the specified range. If the air filter is clogged, immediate cleaning and unclogging of the filter is required. The air-fuel mixture refers to the combination of fuel and air, typically gasoline, diesel and air. However, with advancements in automotive technology and fuel diversity, modern mixtures also include combinations with various combustible gases such as natural gas, methane, coal gas, ethanol, and methanol.

How to Replace the Battery in a Focus Key?

Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the gap around the logo on the new Focus key fob, then gently pry upwards with a little force to open the logo panel. Once a gap is pried open, slowly open it further. Be careful not to use excessive force, as there are three small clips inside to avoid breaking them. After opening the logo cover of the new Focus key fob, you will see the battery. Gently tilt and pour the battery out at an angle. Take out the prepared battery and insert it. The battery model can be seen on the battery, which is CR2032. Be careful not to insert the battery backwards.

What are the symptoms of a broken shock absorber?

Symptoms of a broken shock absorber: 1. Shock absorber oil leakage. Normally, the outer surface of the shock absorber is dry and clean. If there is oil leakage, it indicates that the hydraulic oil inside the shock absorber is flowing out from the upper part of the piston rod, which means the shock absorber is basically ineffective. 2. The car jumps during driving, and abnormal noises occur when braking. 3. When the car turns, there is a noticeable increase in body roll, and in severe cases, even skidding may occur. This is mainly because the shock absorber resistance is too small to effectively suppress spring compression. 4. When the car is stationary, press down one corner of the body and then release it. The body will rebound under the spring force. If it takes several oscillations to stop, it indicates that the damping effect of the shock absorber has been reduced.

What to Do When a Driver's License is Deducted 12 Points?

If 12 points are deducted during the probationary period, you need to retake the driver's license test. If the probationary period has passed, you can retake Subject One within a certain period, and the traffic police will return the license after passing. Here are the specific details: 1. Accumulated points reach 12: A. Class A and B licenses downgraded directly if 12 points are deducted: For owners holding Class A or B licenses, if they accumulate 12 points in a scoring cycle, the vehicle management office will revoke their highest permitted driving model qualification and process the downgrade and license replacement within 30 days. C. Class C license holders must retake Subject One if 12 points are deducted (including 12 points or more but less than 24 points): The license will be temporarily suspended, and you must retake Subject One. Driving is only permitted after passing the test; driving during this period is considered unlicensed driving. 2. Accumulating 12 points during the probationary period: A. Class A and B licenses revoked and downgraded if 12 points are deducted during probation: If a driver accumulates 12 points during the probationary period, their probationary driving model qualification will be revoked. If the revoked qualification is not the highest permitted model, the highest permitted model qualification will also be revoked. Additionally, Class A and B license holders who accumulate more than 6 points but less than 12 points during probation will have their probation extended by one year. 3. Points deducted exceed or equal 24: If a license has two 12-point violations or accumulates over 24 points in a scoring cycle, you must study for seven days and retake Subject One, then take Subject Three within ten days of passing. Only after passing both tests can you drive again.
