You will not please everyone. New Toyota RAV4

Designers RAV4, it seems, really finally dismissed – in the sense, not home, but emotionally and documented. How else to explain the fact that the concept of FT-AC, shown last year, turned out to be almost an exact copy of the production model? Yes, with such an approach, it is unlikely that it will be possible to make housewives sit in RAV4 – but almost all the other “target groups” are unlikely to remain dissatisfied. Well, the Japanese are trying to delight the eye with gloss and gloss lovers with an exterior finish, which, however, is somewhat discordant with the image of the “space explorer”.
The bright image accompanies the logical transition of the model to the new GA-K platform of the TNGA architecture: this is exactly what makes the RAV4 related to the Camry, and at the same time to the Avalon and Lexus ES. However, this does not mean an absolute technical relationship – the machines simply scale according to a similar principle. There is 13 centimeters less space between the axles than the Camry, but 3 centimeters more than the old RAV4 – 2,690 millimeters. Continue reading

ALARM SELECTION FOR CAR

WHAT ARE HAPPEN? Car alarms are conventionally divided into three types – they are one-way, two-way and using a satellite warning system. Unilateral are considered obsolete due to the lack of a channel to notify the owner of the car in case of infringement of his car. For notification, they use sound and light methods, and the maximum range is 200 meters in open terrain. More advanced are two-way car alarm systems with feedback, equipped with an LCD display on the keychain. In addition to the light and sound notification method, this view transmits information about the encroachment on the car to the owner’s key ring. In the presence of a liquid crystal display, the keychain displays events occurring at the moment with the machine. Continue reading

CAN YOU MIX MIXTURE OIL?

At the beginning motorists the question arises: is it possible to mix oils of different manufacturers, categories and viscosity classes? Let’s figure it out.
IF OIL IS DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS Any oil consists of a base and a set of additives that give the base oil-based individual qualities. The possible incompatibility of the fundamentals of different manufacturers is covered by the first problem – different manufacturers have different technologies and ways of producing the base, which in the end may have different physical properties (this is especially true of synthetics). Due to the unevenness of the bases, problems may arise when mixing enough identical synthetic oils, but from different manufacturers. Continue reading
