Using the car air conditioner for heating does not consume additional fuel. Here is an introduction to the car ventilation system: Working modes of the ventilation system: The ventilation system is divided into two types: internal circulation and external circulation. The external circulation air intake is outside the car, using a fan to draw outside air into the car, while the internal circulation air intake is inside the car, cutting off the airflow between the inside and outside. Usage scenarios for external and internal circulation: When the outside air quality is good, you can open the external circulation for ventilation. If you encounter congested road sections or are in a tunnel with poor air quality, you can close the external circulation and turn on the internal circulation.

How to Check If the Car Still Has Fuel?

To check if the car has fuel, simply look at the fuel gauge in the dashboard. 'F' stands for a full tank, while 'E' indicates no fuel. Here is some relevant information: 1. Generally, the fuel gauge is divided into four large sections, with the section near 'E' further divided into four smaller sections. When the pointer reaches the last small section, most cars can still travel approximately 30 kilometers. Different car models have varying fuel tank capacities. Small cars typically have a capacity of around 50L to 55L, while SUVs and off-road vehicles have larger capacities. 2. When refueling, always go to large or medium-sized gas stations and avoid small private ones. If the car is filled with low-quality gasoline containing sulfur, the oxygen sensor may become poisoned, leading to a series of problems, which can be quite troublesome.
