How Far Can the Baojun 530 Travel After the Fuel Gauge Light Comes On?
1 Answers
When the fuel gauge light of the Baojun 530 comes on, it can generally travel about 70 to 80 kilometers on the highway and approximately 50 kilometers in urban areas. When the fuel gauge light turns yellow, there is usually about 10% of fuel remaining in the tank. However, it is advisable to avoid waiting until the fuel light comes on to refuel, as this can damage the fuel pump. Tips to save fuel: 1. For short stops, such as at a red light, simply pressing the brake pedal is sufficient. However, if the stop lasts more than 2 minutes, shift to N (neutral) to protect the transmission and prevent the transmission fluid from overheating. For stops exceeding 5 minutes, it's best to shift to P (park), which is both eco-friendly and fuel-efficient. 2. When accelerating from a stop, avoid flooring the accelerator pedal, as this only increases engine RPM, causing unnecessary noise and transmission wear, leading to fuel wastage. Instead, gently press the accelerator pedal and utilize low-speed downshifting to increase torque for smoother acceleration. Gradual and uniform acceleration after reaching a certain speed provides a smoother driving experience for automatic transmission vehicles. 3. Make smart use of coasting. Coasting does not mean shifting to neutral but rather releasing the accelerator pedal to let the vehicle glide using its momentum. 4. Regular maintenance is crucial. Frequently check the fluid levels in the engine compartment, especially the automatic transmission fluid, which is unique to automatic vehicles. Dirty transmission fluid increases resistance, thereby increasing fuel consumption.
