Changing the color of brake calipers does not affect vehicle registration. Steps for changing caliper color: First, remove the calipers, clean off grease and dirt, strip the old paint, dry off any moisture, sand the surface, and finally apply new primer and color paint. Additional information: Modifying brake calipers on a car is legal, provided that the calipers are genuine products obtained through legitimate channels and their braking performance exceeds the required standards. Otherwise, it would be considered illegal modification. Additionally, it's important to choose calipers that are suitable for the vehicle, as excessively strong braking force can cause the tires to lock up and skid, rendering ABS and EBD ineffective. Furthermore, modifying brake calipers requires filing with the vehicle management office; otherwise, the vehicle may not pass the annual inspection, as such modifications involve altering the vehicle's original design.

What does 'off' mean on a car?

In cars, 'off' refers to the deactivation button for the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system, which is enabled by default. Pressing and holding this button turns the system off. The Vehicle Stability System is an anti-skid device that can control both drive wheels and driven wheels, incorporating ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation) systems. The system operates by calculating data collected from sensors to determine the vehicle's status, then comparing it with pre-set values stored in memory. When the computer detects that the calculated data exceeds the stored thresholds - indicating the vehicle is approaching or has entered a loss of control situation - it activates the actuators to help maintain driving conditions that align with the driver's intentions as closely as possible.

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

The fuel tank capacity of the Vezel is 50 liters, as officially announced. The Vezel uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.0-6.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 794 to 833 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will accurately reflect on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel inside the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked tank capacity.
