When the fuel gauge of a Mercedes-Benz shows a remaining range of 0, it can still continue to drive for a certain distance. Method to estimate how long you can drive when the range shows 0: When the fuel gauge reads "0", fill up the tank completely and note the number of liters added. When the fuel gauge shows "0" again, the remaining fuel in the tank equals the total tank capacity minus the liters added during the previous refill. Then, based on your average fuel consumption while driving, calculate how many more kilometers you can travel. Therefore, the distance you can drive when the fuel gauge shows "0" equals the remaining fuel at "0" divided by the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, multiplied by 100 kilometers. What to do when the remaining range is 0: You should reasonably control your speed, promptly turn off high-power electrical devices, avoid congested roads, and strive for smooth driving to minimize braking. It is not recommended to wait until the fuel warning light comes on before refueling.

How to Deal with Speeding on Highways?

Speeding on highways is dealt with through fines, demerit points, and possible revocation of the driver's license. Here is relevant information: 1. Processing Locations: Currently, when handling vehicle violations, the owner needs to bring their driver's license and vehicle registration to any traffic police station or administrative processing center in the area where the violation occurred or where the vehicle is registered. 2. Self-Payment: If the violation does not involve demerit points, you can directly pay the fine at an ICBC self-service payment machine or online, or through platforms like Alipay. However, if demerit points are involved, you must first confirm the violation and point deduction at the traffic police station before paying the fine. For out-of-town violations, it is best to handle them at the traffic police station in the area where the violation occurred to prevent the issue of the violation record not being cleared if processed locally.

What transmission does the Zotye Z500 use?

Zotye Z500 uses a 5-speed manual transmission and CVT transmission. The functions of the transmission are: 1. Change the transmission ratio to expand the range of torque and speed changes of the driving wheels; 2. Adapt to frequently changing driving conditions, allowing the engine to work under favorable conditions; 3. Enable the car to reverse when the engine rotation direction remains unchanged; 4. Utilize neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, facilitating gear shifting or power output. Taking the 2016 Elite Zotye Z500 as an example, its front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension, equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 144PS, maximum power of 106kW, maximum torque of 207Nm, matched with a 5-speed manual transmission.

What is the solution for brake failure in cars with electronic handbrakes?

Electronic handbrake car brake failure solutions are: 1. Slow down by shifting to a lower gear; 2. Use external force to achieve braking effect; 3. When brake failure occurs on an uphill slope, shift to medium-low gear in time and maintain sufficient power to drive to the top of the slope and stop. The electronic handbrake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control, and its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake. Both achieve parking braking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. The function of the brake is to reduce speed or stop the vehicle. Its working principle is: using the friction between the brake pads and brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, to convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy after friction, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle.

Is it illegal to change the color of rearview mirrors?

Changing the color of rearview mirrors is not illegal. Here is some relevant information about rearview mirrors: 1. Introduction to rearview mirrors: A rearview mirror is a tool that allows the driver to directly obtain external information about the rear, side, and lower parts of the car while seated in the driver's seat. For the convenience of the driver and to prevent traffic safety accidents and ensure personal safety, all countries require that cars must be equipped with rearview mirrors, and all rearview mirrors must be adjustable in direction. 2. Interior rearview mirror: The interior rearview mirror is a mirror that allows the driver to confirm the rear situation without significantly changing the forward line of sight while driving. 3. Exterior rearview mirrors: Passenger cars usually mount the exterior rearview mirrors on the doors.

How often should the spark plugs be replaced on a BMW 5 Series?

BMW 5 Series spark plugs should be replaced every 20,000 km. Their function is to discharge the high-voltage pulse generated by the high-voltage wire, breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug to ignite the gas in the cylinder. Maintenance methods for BMW 5 Series spark plugs: 1. Clean the dust and impurities around the spark plugs using compressed air or a soft tube to blow them away; 2. When removing the spark plugs, ensure the engine is in a cold state; 3. Do not install or remove spark plugs while the car engine is running; 4. After removing the spark plugs, protect the spark plug installation hole to prevent debris or dust from entering the cylinder; 5. Use the correct tools when removing the spark plugs, ensuring the wrench fits properly and is operated straight and true to avoid damaging the insulating ceramic body.
