When the fuel gauge needle reaches the red line, the car's fuel tank typically has about 10% of fuel remaining, allowing it to travel an average of 20-60 kilometers further, depending on the specific model. Below is an introduction to the fuel gauge: 1. The fuel gauge consists of a fuel level indicator with a voltage regulator and a fuel level sensor. 2. The low fuel level warning device activates when the fuel in the tank falls below a certain threshold, alerting the driver immediately. Additional information: Things to note when refueling a Magotan: 1. Do not wait until the warning light comes on to refuel. The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank and relies on gasoline for cooling and lubrication. Insufficient fuel can impair the pump's operation and reduce its lifespan. 2. It is not recommended to fill the tank completely. Gasoline expands when heated and evaporates into vapor, especially in high summer temperatures, requiring space in the tank. If the tank is overfilled, gasoline vapor or even liquid gasoline may enter the carbon canister. Once the canister is full, the excess escapes into the air, leading to waste and environmental pollution.

My daily commuting experience with the Magotan has taught me that when the fuel gauge hits the red line, the remaining fuel is very low, roughly about 5 to 10 liters left. The average fuel consumption in the city is approximately 8 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, conservatively estimating a range of 50 to 70 kilometers. But don’t take it lightly: once I barely made it over 60 kilometers before breaking down, as the fuel pump couldn’t draw fuel, causing damage. The actual distance is heavily influenced by road conditions, such as traffic jams or highway driving, which affect fuel consumption differently. I recommend finding a gas station immediately when the red line appears to avoid the safety hazards of stopping on the road. Make it a habit to refuel when the fuel level drops to a quarter to protect your car and save on repair costs. In case you’re in a remote area, setting up gas station reminders on your phone’s map is very convenient.

Where to Add Windshield Washer Fluid in a Bora Car?

The windshield washer fluid reservoir in a Bora car is located next to the engine under the front hood, marked by a light blue cap with a fountain-like symbol. Below are some precautions for using windshield washer fluid: Use Specialized Winter Washer Fluid: During winter, always use a specialized windshield washer fluid with a lower freezing point. Otherwise, the fluid may freeze in low temperatures. Frozen liquid expands, which can damage the washer fluid reservoir. Avoid Using Water as a Substitute: If the washer fluid is low, avoid using water as a substitute, as water contains impurities that can clog the washer nozzles. Additionally, do not purchase low-quality washer fluid, as it can accelerate the aging of windshield wipers.

How to Correctly Calculate Vehicle Tax?

Vehicle Purchase Tax is a tax levied on entities and individuals who purchase designated vehicles within the country, evolving from the Vehicle Purchase Surcharge. The "People's Republic of China Vehicle Purchase Tax Law" has been in effect since July 1, 2019. The formula for calculating the payable tax amount is: Payable Tax Amount = Taxable Price × 10%. For self-use taxable vehicles purchased, the taxable price is the total amount actually paid by the taxpayer to the seller, excluding VAT. For imported self-use taxable vehicles, the taxable price is the customs duty-paid price plus customs duty and consumption tax. For self-produced and self-use taxable vehicles, the taxable price is determined based on the selling price of similar taxable vehicles produced by the taxpayer, excluding VAT. For taxable vehicles obtained through donation, awards, or other means, the taxable price is determined based on the price stated in the relevant documents at the time of acquisition, excluding VAT.

How often should the spark plugs of a 1.6L New Sagitar be replaced?

1.6L New Sagitar spark plugs should be replaced approximately every 40,000 kilometers, with the exact replacement interval depending on usage conditions. Here are the detailed explanations: Methods to determine if spark plugs need replacement: Remove the spark plugs and observe the color of the burn, the gap of the electrodes, and whether there is any air leakage between the ceramic body and the metal shell. If you notice that the car is difficult to start when cold, experiences obvious jerking while driving, idles roughly, or shows decreased engine acceleration performance, the spark plugs should be inspected and replaced promptly. Replacement cycles for different types of spark plugs: The lifespan of a resistor spark plug is 20,000 kilometers, a platinum spark plug lasts 40,000 kilometers, while an iridium spark plug can last between 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers.

What is the fog light symbol?

The front fog light symbol has downward light lines, while the rear fog light symbol is parallel. Due to their high brightness and strong penetration, fog lights do not produce diffuse reflection in foggy conditions. Proper use can effectively prevent accidents. In foggy weather, front and rear fog lights are usually used together. Most fog lights are controlled by the lever below the steering wheel. Regardless of the car model, the rear fog light symbol is a straight line before the light icon, while the front fog light symbol is a wavy curve before the light. Of course, drivers should turn on the small lights before activating the fog lights. If the fog lights cannot be turned on when the small lights are off, the fog light icon will illuminate. When activated, the fog light icon will appear on the car dashboard. It's advisable to check the dashboard before driving.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Beidou x5?

The actual fuel consumption of the Beidou x5 is approximately 5.5-6.5L/100km. The following are the factors affecting fuel consumption: Vehicle factors: Fuel consumption is related to displacement. Generally, the larger the displacement, the higher the fuel consumption. At the same time, the thermal efficiency of the engine and the vehicle's exterior design will also affect fuel consumption. External environmental factors: Road conditions and the external environment also have a significant impact on fuel consumption. Generally, flat roads are more fuel-efficient than rough roads, straight roads are more fuel-efficient than winding roads, and smooth traffic is more fuel-efficient than traffic jams. In winter, the low temperature prevents gasoline from reaching the optimal combustion temperature, leading to incomplete combustion and resulting in some fuel consumption loss.
