You should not continue driving a BMW with insufficient coolant. If the low coolant warning appears, you must stop the vehicle safely and promptly to add coolant. If an inspection reveals that the coolant level is actually adequate, it may be a false alarm. In this case, you can try restarting the vehicle to see if the warning disappears. If it does, no repair is needed. BMW offers various models, including the i, X, and Z series. Taking the BMW i3 as an example: It is known as the MegaCity model and features an advanced electric drive system, which is very similar to the all-electric drive system of the BMW 1 Series ActiveE. It delivers a maximum output of 167 horsepower, with power directed to the rear wheels.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Corolla in liters?

The Corolla currently has 12 models on sale. The fuel tank capacity for the 1.8L displacement models is 43 liters, while the remaining models have a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. This data is officially released by the manufacturer, and Corolla owners can also check it on their vehicle's configuration sheet. The Corolla uses 92-octane fuel. The 1.8L displacement models have a fuel consumption of 4 to 4.1L per 100 kilometers, allowing a full tank to cover a distance of 1049 to 1075km. The other models have a fuel consumption of 5.1 to 5.6L per 100 kilometers, enabling a full tank to travel between 8929 to 9804km. During daily driving, it's essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately displayed on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it's advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill limit. There is additional space from the safe fill limit to the tank opening, designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the specified tank capacity.

How to Make a U-turn at a Crosswalk?

The methods for making a U-turn at a crosswalk are: 1. If there is a crosswalk at the intersection and the lane divider is a solid line, you should make the U-turn after crossing the crosswalk, not over it. 2. Although there is a crosswalk, if the lane divider is a yellow dashed-solid line, you should make the U-turn at this dashed-solid line, not by driving further to cross the crosswalk before turning. 3. If there is a U-turn area before reaching the intersection, you can directly make the U-turn there. Additional information: Before making a U-turn, you should also pay attention to the traffic lights and whether U-turns are allowed at that location. Generally, U-turns that do not require crossing the crosswalk do not need to follow the traffic lights, while U-turns that require crossing the crosswalk can only be made after the traffic light turns green.
