Rolando M asked:


I have a Toyota 4Runner 2002 3.0TurboDiesel, and I have a problem with the headlights, the low beam head light works perfect, and the high beam head light works only when I pull the head light switch towards me (for a quick change of lights), but it does not work when I push the light switch forward (for a permanent change to high beam). The dealer tells me I have to change the turn signal/head light switch in the steering wheel, but they also say I have to change some control unit integrated circuits. They don’t seem to be sure what the problem is, so before buying some expensive integrated circuits, I wanted to hear some suggestions on how to troubleshoot the problem and/or confirm the dealer diagnostics.

Here is something for Japanese auto enthusiasts who look for practicality and convenience in vehicle models.

Toyota Motor Corporation has recently launched the redesigned models of the Voxy and Noah compact MPV in Toyota dealerships all over Japan. These two models has already gained popularity from Japanese customers since its first launch last 2001. According to a Toyota press release, “The new, second-generation models extend the advanced functioning of the first generation, including an interior that pays particular attention to providing comfort, ease of use and a relaxed driving environment. At the same time, the Voxy has stylishness at its heart while the Noah gives off a feeling of familiarity.”

Both models will feature either a 2.0-liter 3ZR-FAE or a 3ZR-FE engine. The engines feature Dual VVT-i (Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) and Valvematic continuously variable valve lift structure. This power plant for Voxy and Noah MPVs offer an excellent fuel efficiency as well as low harmful CO2 emissions. Customers can also match the engine with the Super CVT-i (Super Continuously Variable Transmission-intelligent) and a 7-speed Sports Sequential Shiftmatic transmission, probably with Toyota clutch kit.

Other features of the Voxy and Noah MPVs include automatic air conditioner with temperature controls for the driver’s side and passenger’s side, An Intelligent Parking Assist system, Panoramic Super-live Sound System, Smart Entry & Start System, and the HDD navigation system. In addition, the vehicles also come with a unique instrument panel with three-layer structure, and a modern center console.

Here are the other highlights of the two vehicles according to a Toyota official press release

Toyota Voxy

* The front end creates a sharp surface that creates the look of a condensed form packed with power. The stepped headlights, one of the distinctive design features of the Voxy, express stylishness and individuality.

* The side emphasizes the Voxy’s simple yet active feel through the door profile with full, curved surfaces, the flush fender lines and the sharp character lines that extend from the front to the rear.

* The trapezoidal silhouette of the rear evokes a sense of stability while the clear and advanced design of the combination taillights gives a cool and stylish impression.

Toyota Noah

* The front end creates a familiar and striking impression with a round three-dimensional body and deeply sculpted form extending from the grille to the hood.

* The side emphasizes the simple yet active feel and modern look of the Noah through the door profile with numerous curved surfaces and the J-shaped character lines of the front fenders.

* The rear creates a sense of breadth with combination taillights that wrap around the sides and a feeling of stability with a trapezoidal silhouette, while the red combination taillights emphasize familiarity.

During the late 1890s and the early 1900s, the concept of cars was still unknown. However, this man spent his life building and creating the technology that would become so famous worldwide until today. An A1 prototype was built in 1935, thus began the history of Toyota Motor Corporation.

 

These days, people are given wider choices and more options with regard to cars and vehicles. Car leasing or contract personal hire has now become a common term for business men, individuals on travel , and even for families.

 

Toyota is still considered to be one of the most sought cars in the field of car leasing. The main reason is its reliability on the road combined with elegance. Toyota car leasing is in demand these days and more hundreds of Toyota cars are available for leasing. Most personal contract hire companies offer a wide range of cars to customers.

 

Toyota leasing and Toyota personal contract hire is going up because more and more people are getting aware of the advantages of leasing. Great financing terms are available based on the purpose of the customer. Most car lease companies open their services to businessmen, travelers, and individuals who simply find leasing more convenient than purchasing one. The concept of personal contract hire for cars first became well known in USA and in the United Kingdom.

 

The most common Toyota cars available for leasing and personal contract hire are the Toyota Auris, Avensis, Corolla, Land Cruiser, Rav4, Yarso and the Verso. An upcoming model of Toyota for the year 2009 is the Venza 2009.

 

Most car lease companies offer contracts that range from 24 to 36 months. One great advantage in leasing is that there is no high cash out. Most companies offer affordable monthly terms and there is no obligation to purchase the rented vehicles.

 

In the United Kingdom, for example, the average monthly payment needed for leasing a Toyota car ranges only from 100+ to 300 pounds depending on whether it is for business or personal use – still quite low compared to the expenses incurred in purchasing one. Aside from lower monthly payments and zero cash out, another advantage is the low maintenance needed for Toyota personal contract hire.

Jim Lentz, the executive vice president for the company’s sales in the United States, explains, “Prius was already the most successful hybrid car in the market, and the rising gasoline prices seen in 2006 have only added to its appeal. Toyota is the market leader in hybrid vehicles, and we are committed to expanding this technology.”

Now for the year 2007, the Toyota Prius would be coming to the market quite refreshed and would also be having a new version with it. You should take time to meet the Toyota Prius Touring Edition version. As per the basic Toyota Prius, you would find safety upgrades like side airbags that are mounted on the seats of the driver and the front passenger. There would also be additional side curtain airbags for the front and the rear. If you would remember, these were given out as options in the past models of the vehicle.

As per the Toyota Prius Touring Edition, this version would give consumers in the auto market a chance to own a hybrid vehicle that holds more features and a higher capacity to give you and your passengers a spirited driving experience. After all, it would be coming with Bridgestone® Turanza™EL40002™ tires that would surely make car lovers and aficionados swoon. This version would also be equipped with a suspension that has been European-tuned as well as alloy wheels that measures some 16 inches.

According to Michael Martini, “The Bridgestone Turanza EL40002 is a low-rolling resistance tire which enhances the hybrid’s capabilities while providing performance and touring tire comfort. This fitment is a result of our global company’s long-standing relationship with Toyota, and we look forward to continuing our role as a primary original equipment supplier to Toyota’s line of outstanding vehicles.” Martini is the president of the tire division of Bridgestone.
