Vehicles do have a reserve fuel tank. It is located next to the main fuel tank and is connected to an additional diesel sub-tank. If the owner wants to check the remaining fuel level, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates that the fuel is running low, and when it is near F, it means the fuel level is sufficient. Methods to open the fuel tank: Mechanical key opening: This is usually found on some rugged off-road vehicles. Nowadays, most family cars do not use a mechanical key to open the fuel tank because it is relatively complicated to operate. In-car switch method: The location of the in-car fuel tank switch varies depending on the vehicle model. It may be on the floor to the left of the driver's seat, on the left front door panel, or on the center console, all marked with a fuel pump symbol. However, it is important to note that the in-car switch can easily lead to the owner forgetting to turn off the engine before refueling, so the owner should always remember to turn off the engine before refueling. Press-type opening method: The press-type fuel tank door is currently the most convenient method. The owner only needs to park the car, and the fuel attendant can press to open the tank for refueling. However, when the car is not parked for refueling, the owner must remember to lock the central control, otherwise, the fuel tank cap can be opened.

What Causes the Rear of the Car to Sway Left and Right When Driving Over Bumpy Roads?

The reason for the rear of the car swaying left and right when driving over bumpy roads is: wheel undulation (up-and-down bouncing) causes the wheels to deflect upward in an arc. This arcing motion changes the distance between the tie rods connected to the wheel knuckles and those connected to the vehicle (front tie rods are connected to the steering gear, while rear tie rods are connected to the chassis). The change in distance will cause the wheels to tilt inward or outward, thereby affecting the vehicle's steering. When the car sways slightly left and right while driving, this is primarily caused by the vehicle pulling to one side. There are many reasons for such pulling, including insufficient tire pressure, uneven tread wear, issues with the suspension system design, or damage, deformation, or misalignment of the suspension.

Do cars in India have rearview mirrors?

India does not have rearview mirrors. The reason why Indian cars do not have rearview mirrors is that many roads in India operate as dual carriageways, and driving speeds are generally slow due to the high population density. Many roads are crowded with street vendors, making traffic extremely congested. Rearview mirrors could hinder normal driving, so they have been removed. Rearview mirrors are tools that allow drivers to directly obtain external information about the rear, sides, and lower parts of the vehicle while seated in the driver's seat. They are designed for the convenience of the driver, to prevent traffic accidents, and to ensure personal safety. Most countries mandate the installation of rearview mirrors on vehicles, and all mirrors must be adjustable in direction.

What to Do If the Vehicle Certificate Is Lost?

If the vehicle certificate is lost, you should promptly bring the original vehicle license, the owner's ID card, compulsory traffic accident liability insurance, and related documents to the local vehicle management department to apply for a replacement.

The process for replacing the vehicle certificate is as follows: 1. Contact the car-selling 4S store (or directly contact the manufacturer) to handle the replacement; 2. Write an application explaining the situation; 3. Provide copies of the car purchase invoice, the buyer's ID, and the certificate copy; 4. Fill out the certificate replacement application form, including all relevant information (model, chassis number, engine number, body color, etc.), stamp it with the 4S store's seal, and mail it along with the above materials to the manufacturer; 5. After confirmation, the manufacturer will issue a new certificate. Upon receiving it, verify that the chassis number and engine number match the invoice.

What do the S and L gears in an automatic transmission mean?

In an automatic transmission, the S gear stands for Sport mode, and the L gear stands for Low gear mode. The S gear is derived from "Sport," meaning it is the sport mode. Generally, when overtaking, if the driver uses the D gear, they may feel a lack of power, while the S gear is specifically designed for overtaking, providing significantly stronger power and higher RPMs compared to the D gear. However, prolonged use of these gears can increase fuel consumption. The L gear is derived from "Low," meaning it is the low-speed gear. This gear offers slower speed but higher torque, making it very suitable for climbing hills or driving on rough, uneven roads. In Low gear mode, when going downhill, the transmission can be limited to lower gears to avoid prolonged braking, thus preventing the brake pads from overheating and reducing the risk of danger.
