Q
What is the Road Tax Price of Mitsubishi Xpander? How to Calculate?
The road tax price of the Mitsubishi Xpander depends on its engine capacity. This vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine (1499cc). According to the current standards of the Malaysian Road Transport Department (JPJ), the annual road tax for a vehicle with a 1.5L displacement is RM90. If the engine capacity is slightly higher (for example, from 1501cc to 1600cc), you need to pay RM120. When calculating the road tax, the actual displacement stated in the vehicle registration document (Geran) should be used as the basis. Vehicle owners can check the specific amount online through the JPJ official website or the MyEG platform. It's worth noting that the road tax in Malaysia adopts a stepped rate system, where the larger the displacement, the higher the cost. For example, the road tax for a 2.0L vehicle can reach RM380, while electric vehicles currently enjoy a road tax exemption policy until 2025. In addition to the road tax, vehicle owners also need to renew their vehicle insurance on schedule. Both are mandatory items stipulated by law, and overdue payments may result in fines. It is recommended that vehicle owners go through the renewal process via JPJ - authorized channels such as post offices or electronic platforms to ensure the process is compliant and efficient.
Q
Does the GAC GS3 support Android Auto?
The currently provided information of the GAC GS3 model does not mention whether it supports Android Auto. Generally, to check if a vehicle supports this function, you can refer to the vehicle's multimedia system manual or consult a GAC authorized dealer. Android Auto allows users to project apps from their mobile phones onto the vehicle's screen, providing convenient operations such as navigation and music playback. If the GAC GS3 supports Android Auto, the convenience and safety of using phone functions while driving will be greatly enhanced. However, if it doesn't support this function, basic audio transmission and other functions can still be achieved via Bluetooth connection to meet some in-car entertainment needs, or similar function of phone connectivity may be used for similar purposes.
Q
where is the toyota hilux made
Toyota Hilux in Malaysia is primarily manufactured at the Shah Alam plant and the Bukit Raja plant in Selangor.
The Shah Alam plant has been operating since 1968, originally known as Champion Motor plant, and was later renamed Assembly Services Sdn Bhd. It continues to be responsible for the production of the IMV series vehicles, including Hilux, Innova, and Fortuner.
The Bukit Raja production line began construction in 2016 and officially started operations in 2019. It is also under Assembly Services Sdn Bhd and is Toyota's newest plant in Malaysia. While this factory mainly assembles Vios and Yaris at present, it may also participate in the production of Hilux in the future as it develops.
Additionally, not all Toyota Hilux models are manufactured in Malaysia; globally, the majority of the seventh-generation Hilux vehicles are produced in Thailand, South Africa, and Argentina for their respective markets, with a small number also produced in Malaysia, Pakistan, and Venezuela.
Q
How does the hybrid power system of Honda Accord function?
The Honda Accord Hybrid employs advanced hybrid technology. The working principle is to cooperate between a gasoline engine and an electric motor to achieve more efficient energy use. At low speeds and during startup, the electric motor provides the primary power, making the vehicle run quietly and smoothly. When more power or high-speed driving is required, the gasoline engine intervenes, driving the vehicle in conjunction with the electric motor. Also, during braking and deceleration, the vehicle can recover energy to charge the battery, increasing energy utilization, and reducing fuel consumption. In short, the hybrid power system of Honda Accord Hybrid provides drivers with excellent performance and fuel economy.
Q
What's the size of Proton X50's battery?
The Proton X50 is equipped with a traditional 12V lead-acid battery. The battery has a capacity of 60Ah (with a cold-cranking amperage (CCA) of approximately 540A) and is maintenance-free. It is suitable for powering the vehicle's electronic system and starting motor. This battery specification is compatible with the factory-set 1.5T three-cylinder turbo engine and the intelligent start-stop system (if available). It is recommended to check or replace the battery every 2 - 3 years to avoid difficult starting or abnormal operation of electronic devices due to battery aging.
It should be noted that the Proton X50 is neither a hybrid nor an electric vehicle, so it doesn't have a high-voltage power battery pack. Its 12V battery is mainly used for low-voltage systems such as lighting, audio, and the ECU. If the vehicle is parked for a long time (more than two weeks), it is advisable to disconnect the negative terminal or use a battery charger for maintenance. When adding high-power audio or electronic devices, the battery's load capacity needs to be evaluated, and if necessary, upgrade to a higher specification (e.g., 70Ah). During regular maintenance, a voltmeter can be used for testing. Under normal conditions, the static voltage should be between 12.4V and 12.7V. If it is lower than 11.8V, the battery may need to be replaced promptly.

Q
what is bsm on toyota
BSM, or Blind Spot Monitoring, is an important safety feature available in Toyota vehicles. It uses sensors such as radar or cameras to monitor the blind spots on either side of the vehicle. When another vehicle is detected within the blind spot, the system alerts the driver through warning lights, sounds, or steering wheel vibrations, reducing the risk of collisions caused by lane changes. In Toyota models commonly found in the Malaysian market, such as the Camry and Corolla, the BSM system performs exceptionally well, effectively assisting drivers in ensuring road safety.
