Which brand does the FAW Toyota Crown belong to?
The Crown is a vehicle under Toyota, which is a mid-to-large size car from Toyota. The Crown has undergone several iterations, and various generations of the Crown can be purchased in the internatioal market.
It is a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive vehicle with a spacious interior and large dimensions, providing excellent ride comfort and high-quality interior craftsmanship.
The new Crown features smooth and elegant side curves, with metal brushed designs for the door handles and window frames, and the design of the doors also prioritizes rear passenger comfort, providing a nearly 1:1 width ratio of front and rear doors for easier and more graceful access for rear passengers.
When the new generation Crown was launched, there were three 2.5L models, none of which were equipped with a sunroof, which was somewhat regrettable as a sunroof is a significant feature for a luxury vehicle.
Now, two “sunroof version” models have been introduced, adding sunroofs to the original leather and leather navigation versions, while other power and configurations remain unchanged.
How to use the FAW Toyota Prado's four-wheel drive system?
The Prado features full-time four-wheel drive, where the older models control high-speed and low-speed four-wheel drive using a small stick on the right side, typically in the H gear (high speed).
When driving on muddy roads or mountain paths, shift the gearbox to neutral, hold the brake, and move the small stick to L gear (low speed). If a tire slips, you can activate the differential lock.
The Prado's four-wheel drive system includes the MTS (Multi-TERRAIN Select) system, which has five terrain modes: muddy/sandy, gravel, uneven surfaces, mountainous, and rock mode, allowing the computer to optimize the four-wheel drive system based on the selected mode.
The Prado also features the MTSKDSS dynamic stability bar. On even surfaces, the computer suppresses suspension extension, allowing the stability bar to function for good vehicle stability; in harsh environments, the computer releases suspension extension, and the balancing bar does not operate, ensuring maximum wheel travel for better traction.
For operation, there is a four-wheel drive mode selection knob on the center console. Normally, use the “H4F” full-time four-wheel drive mode, distributing engine power 40% front and 60% rear; in complex conditions, select the “H4L” high-speed four-wheel drive lock mode, which locks the central differential and evenly distributes power front and rear; in the most complex conditions, reduce speed to below 5 km/h, shift the gearbox to neutral, and switch to the “L4L” low-speed four-wheel drive lock mode, amplifying torque by 2.566 times.
