When the fuel gauge light of a Civic comes on, it can generally travel approximately 40-50 kilometers, depending on road conditions. In congested traffic, it may only go about 20 kilometers before running out of fuel. Driving tips after the fuel gauge light comes on: Control your speed appropriately. On highways, pay attention to the minimum speed limit signs and avoid driving below the minimum speed to prevent danger. Reduce vehicle load, as heavier loads consume more fuel. If traveling with another vehicle, consider transferring large luggage and passengers to the other car. Avoid using high-power electrical devices such as air conditioning and navigation systems, as they increase engine load and further impact fuel consumption. Close all windows, as wind resistance at high speeds is significant. The dangers of not refueling after the fuel gauge light comes on: It can affect the fuel pump's lifespan. When the fuel level drops too low, the pump may draw in air, which doesn't lubricate or cool as effectively as fuel. Excessive air intake can damage the pump.

What causes the trunk of the 2013 Buick Excelle to not open?

If the trunk of the Buick Excelle cannot open, it is necessary to check whether the lock block is broken, whether the screws of the lock block and latch are loose, and whether the locking mechanism is faulty. Such issues with the Excelle may be related to damage to the vehicle's body control module. If any problems are found, it is recommended to visit a 4S dealership for inspection and repair. Below are some precautions regarding the trunk: 1. Do not store flammable or explosive items: The trunk is an enclosed space where temperatures can rise very quickly. Storing lighters, hairspray, or other flammable and explosive items in the trunk, especially during summer heat and long-distance travel, can easily lead to explosions, with unimaginable consequences. 2. Do not store valuables: Keeping valuable items, premium cigarettes, or fine liquor in the trunk is actually very unsafe. Thieves are cunning, so it is absolutely inadvisable to store valuables in the car trunk.

Are 14x2.50 and 2.50-10 tubeless tires interchangeable?

These two types of tires are not interchangeable. The notation 14×2.50 is non-standard; the correct notation should be 2.50-14. Both 2.50-14 and 2.50-10 share the same tread width of 2.5 inches (approximately 76 mm), while the numbers 14 and 10 refer to the rim diameters of 14 inches and 10 inches, respectively. Below is relevant information: 1. Tire size markings: Most tire size markings appear as 215/70R15. The numbers represent the following: 215 indicates the tire section width in millimeters (mm), typically ranging from 145-285 mm in 10 mm increments; 70 is the aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the tire's sidewall height to its section width, with 70 representing 70%; and 15 is the rim diameter in inches. 2. Precautions: Tires should be replaced according to the manufacturer's specifications. Never replace tires arbitrarily to prevent traffic accidents.

Why is the GTR called the Godzilla of the East?

The reason why the GTR is called the Godzilla of the East is that the GTR not only has an extremely high top speed but also an extremely short acceleration time, allowing it to reach top speed in a very short time. Below is a detailed introduction about vehicle speed: 1. Overview: Vehicle speed refers to the distance a vehicle travels in a unit of time, commonly referred to as speed, with units typically measured in kilometers per hour or meters per second. Vehicle speed is one of the three key parameters used to describe traffic flow and holds significant importance in traffic flow theory research. 2. Others: Vehicle speed can also broadly refer to the speed of motor vehicles. To suit different purposes, vehicle speed is mainly categorized into spot speed, segment speed, and design speed. Spot speed is the instantaneous speed of a vehicle passing a specific point on the road. Design speed is the speed established to determine the design indicators of various geometric elements of a road and to ensure their mutual coordination.

Will I be fined for driving in the ETC lane without an ETC installed?

Vehicles without ETC installed are not allowed to use the ETC lane, as it may only obstruct other vehicles but will not result in penalties. Relevant information about ETC is as follows: 1. Introduction 1: The fully automatic electronic toll collection system is one of the service functions of the intelligent transportation system. It is particularly suitable for use on highways or in busy bridge and tunnel environments. There are dedicated ETC toll lanes at highway toll stations. As long as the vehicle owner installs a sensor card on the front windshield and prepays the fee, there is no need for manual payment or stopping when passing through the toll station. The highway toll will be automatically deducted from the card, enabling automatic toll collection. 2. Introduction 2: This toll collection system takes less than two seconds per vehicle, and its toll lane capacity is 5 to 10 times that of manual toll lanes. Using the fully automatic electronic toll collection system can make highway toll collection paperless and cashless, fundamentally eliminating the loss of toll revenue and solving the financial management chaos in highway toll collection. Additionally, implementing the fully automatic electronic toll collection system can also save on infrastructure and management costs.
