In principle, added running boards cannot pass annual vehicle inspection, with specific requirements varying depending on different vehicle models. Here is relevant information about adding running boards: 1. Function of added running boards: Some SUVs with relatively high chassis install running boards for easier entry and exit. After installation, they also facilitate cleaning the vehicle body. Those who wash their cars manually know well that it's difficult to clean the roof area without running boards. 2. Regulations on adding running boards: Determined according to the "Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products" for specific vehicle models. You can check the model announcement at the vehicle management office's license plate selection hall. If the announcement includes side running boards, they can be installed directly. If not, adding them requires applying to the vehicle management office for approval of modification registration.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz GLE350?

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE350 has three models, all with an 85-liter fuel tank. The GLE350 is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a manual-automatic transmission (AT), and features front four-wheel drive with a double-wishbone independent front suspension. In the same class, the 2022 Audi Q7 45 TFSI quattro S-line Sport has an 85-liter fuel tank, while the 2022 BMW X5 (imported) xDrive30i M Sport Package has an 83-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, with additional space left between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This space ensures that fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the tank is nearly full.

What are Front-Wheel Drive and Rear-Wheel Drive Vehicles?

Front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicles are propelled by the engine driving the front wheels, which pull the entire vehicle forward. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles are propelled by the engine driving the rear wheels, which push the entire vehicle forward. The most significant difference lies in their distinct drivetrain configurations. The specific differences between FWD and RWD vehicles are as follows: FWD vehicles are more cost-effective, fuel-efficient, and economical; they typically employ a transversely mounted engine layout, resulting in a more compact spatial footprint. However, they are prone to understeer (commonly referred to as 'pushing' in corners by drivers), exhibit weaker traction that may lead to wheel slip, and demonstrate a front-heavy weight distribution during cornering, making them unsuitable for aggressive driving maneuvers. In contrast, RWD vehicles are slightly more expensive but offer superior handling agility and higher torque output. They utilize a longitudinally mounted engine arrangement, which occupies more space. Due to the heavier rear axle and greater inertia, RWD vehicles tend to oversteer—requiring frequent corrective adjustments to maintain vehicle stability during severe cases, otherwise risking loss of control and tail slides. Given their drivetrain characteristics and higher manufacturing costs, RWD systems are generally reserved for SUVs, sports cars, and premium sedans, as they provide a more balanced front-rear weight distribution compared to FWD vehicles.

Who are the famous car reviewers on Douyin?

There are several famous car reviewers on Douyin: 1. Chen Zhen: Most people probably got to know Chen Zhen during his test drive videos on Autohome, especially the episode "Retracing Youth" he co-hosted with Yan Chuang, which is still considered a classic by many car enthusiasts.

What is the fuel consumption of the Lechi 0.8?

Lechi 0.8 fuel consumption is divided into the following two situations: 1. Equipped with a 0.8L 52HP L3 engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission, the average fuel consumption is 7.22 liters/100 kilometers; 2. Equipped with a 0.8L 52HP L3 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, the average fuel consumption is 6.33 liters/100 kilometers. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer: Air conditioning failure is a major cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance will lead to increased fan speed and lower temperature settings to achieve a cooling effect. 2. Frequent hard braking: Frequent hard braking is the main reason for high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Avoid excessive use of air conditioning in small-displacement vehicles: For vehicles exposed to the sun, it is not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately after getting in the car. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher speed without turning on the air conditioning to dissipate the hot air inside the car. Wait until the vehicle has cooled down moderately before turning on the air conditioning.
