What is the reason why there are snowflakes on the dashboard of Toyota Corolla?

This is to remind drivers that the temperature outside is low, be careful of road icing and drive carefully. Just a warm reminder. This is not a car's fault light or going into snow mode. Cars with this function will generally remind you when the outside temperature is below 4 degrees Celsius, in case the driver can't feel the change of the outside temperature inside the car.

The reason why snowflakes appear on the dial:

1, outdoor temperature is too low.

2. Snow mode.

3. The outdoor temperature sensor is damaged.

4. Signal transmission error.

Precautions for driving in low temperature:

1, it is necessary to warm the car in winter. It is necessary to warm up the car for 3-5 minutes, although it costs oil. Because the temperature is low in winter, the engine is not easy to reach normal temperature, the viscosity of lubricating oil will increase and the lubrication effect will decrease, so the idle speed will rise to more than 1000 rpm when starting.

2. In the process of driving in winter, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car will make the window condense fog. When using warm air to remove fog, open the front door and the window a little, and the effect is very quick and effective.

3. The protection of vehicle headlights is very important. Driving in snowy days, the heated bulb will melt the snow outside the lampshade, but it is easy to freeze again after parking, which not only affects the lighting effect, but also may freeze and crack the lampshade. Therefore, after stopping and turning off the lights, wipe off the accumulated water on the surface of the lampshade with a towel, and sweep away the snow on the surface of the lampshade the next day to protect the lights.

4. Be careful of the icy road. Dark places, bridges, viaducts and small intersections are easy to freeze, so you must be more careful when driving through these places. In any case, try to slow down and keep calm.

It should be specially reminded that although passing vehicles melt the ice and snow on the main road, you must slow down before driving out of the main road, because many exits or intersections with branches are prone to ice.

5. The general principle of choosing fuel is that the freezing point of fuel should be about 5℃ lower than the ambient temperature. It is necessary to use fuel with low freezing point and good fluidity in winter.
