Toyota IST 2004 Blue

Review of the car owner Toyota ist 2004 10 cold season 9 warm season l / 100km touch LCD display through which the music is controlled. center, navigation, TV and a lot of other information in Japanese Xenon, fog lights, broom, visor. Further. IST came with bald summer tires. One day I drove him to the tire service. And here, in my opinion, the details of the all-wheel drive IST are being clarified in practice. I'm going to tire service, it's winter outside, summer tires, bald. When turning left uphill, my car is thrown to the side of the road in the direction of travel. Thanks to the snowdrift and low speed, somewhere around 30 km / h, my IST is buried in a snowdrift. What happened? The front wheels hit the ice (as the bald tires said) and skid, and then all-wheel drive is automatically connected, the so-called "V Flex Full time 4WD" (system without center differential). The rear axle is connected using a viscous clutch. And it is connected if the rotational speed of the propeller shaft differs from the rotational speed of the rear axle reducer shaft. This is exactly what happe Toyota IST 2004 Blue ned: the front wheels hit the ice and skid, the rear axle is turned on, the wheels are turned to the left and the car, pushed by the rear wheels, which are on the asphalt, flies in the direction of the front wheels, i.e. to the left. Snowdrift. Have arrived. Good luck! I must say, the triggering happened quickly without delay. I am writing this to the fact that it was mentioned on the site that IST Full Time has a permanent all-wheel drive. The adventures of this day are not over. At the tire service, a nipple on a cast disc was broken; nowhere in the nearest car dealerships there were similar ones. There was no choice but to go home on a dock, which is always in the trunk in a niche (while they continued to look for a nipple in the markets). The speed on the dock should be no more than 80 km / h, so I kept it. It goes a little harshly, and so it is quite possible to get to the tire fitting without any problems. I have a second car. I will not repeat myself, I agree with the previous reviews on the site. I like everything in the car, the interior is large with seemingly not large external dimensions. The sound quality in the cabin is excellent. There is a GPS receiver, but, unfortunately, not adapted to our GPS, just like the TV. The suspension is stiff, softer in Zhiguli, but it enters the turn as it crashes without swinging. And if the road is like a washboard, you understand that your insides will feel the quality of the road surface. Of course, it is designed for good Japanese roads. It’s a pity to hit him on our bumps, but where to go. As for fuel consumption, I'll make a reservation right away, the tank is 30 liters, not 45, as they write in the technical specifications for the car in various sources on the internet. I fill in 30 liters, the arrow of the fuel gauge shows a full tank. Who knows, maybe you need to continue pouring up to 45 liters? Based on this, IST eats a little more than a dozen in winter and about 9 liters in the warm season in a mixed mode. Overall happy with the car. Where did you see there 18.5 cm of clearance? East sits down even where Fit passes ... For X @ lturshchik, it was there that he took it. I indicated 17.5cm clearance, not 18.5cm. Without a body kit it would be passable. There is no slavery more hopeless than the slavery of those slaves who consider themselves free from the shackles tank 45, don't worry. After the low fuel level lamp comes on, you can safely add about 30-35 liters. PS: such a 4WD is an extremely dangerous thing, IMHO. So it can throw into the oncoming lane. And then 4 airborne? This happens when you twist the steering wheel on the ice. The car rolls and does not turn. The driver is accelerating. Then it rolls out onto the asphalt and the car suddenly jerks to the side where the wheels are turned. A typical winter error with a leading front. https://jiji.co.tz/kinondoni/cars/toyota-ist-2004-blue-8EMx72oTLU1XLdE5jphwKS7R.html
