The Bora can travel approximately 40 to 50 kilometers after the fuel gauge warning light comes on. The fuel gauge is designed to display the fuel level in the car's tank. Taking the 2021 Bora as an example, its body dimensions are 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. The fuel tank capacity is 50 liters, and the trunk capacity is 506 liters. The 2021 Bora features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 113 PS, a maximum power of 83 kW, and a maximum torque of 145 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I've been driving my Bora for many years, and when the fuel gauge warning light comes on, I can still go about five or six kilometers. But don't push it too hard—it depends on road conditions and driving habits. On flat roads with steady driving, it can last longer, but uphill or with sudden acceleration, it burns faster. When the warning light is on, the fuel tank is basically empty, and the fuel pump can overheat and get damaged from pumping air, which is expensive to repair. I once barely made it to a gas station after the warning light came on, and the engine was shaking, almost stalling. Now I've learned my lesson: when the fuel level drops below a quarter, I find a place to refuel. If the warning light comes on, I immediately use my phone to navigate to the nearest station. Making a habit of checking the fuel gauge saves trouble and keeps things safe.

When the fuel gauge warning light comes on in a Bora, you can generally drive around 5 to 10 kilometers, depending on how you drive. I've tried driving carefully after the warning and managed about 7 kilometers. Strong winds or using the AC can drastically reduce this distance. The fuel tank is designed with a buffer for emergencies, but don't rely on it too much—getting fuel ASAP is the best move. Different models and years may vary slightly; mine is an older Bora. It's wise to use a mobile map to find a gas station in real-time to avoid the embarrassment of running out of fuel. The rule of thumb is: a warning means you're nearly out of gas, so act promptly and don't push your luck.

Is there a time limit for vehicle mortgage release?

There is no specific time limit for handling the mortgage release procedures after repaying the vehicle loan. The timing is determined through mutual agreement between the vehicle owner and the pawnshop or bank. Once both parties agree on a time, they can proceed to the management office to complete the mortgage release procedures. Since materials such as the identity of the vehicle owner and the vehicle mortgage registration are required, both parties need to be present simultaneously. Generally, the required documents for mortgage release registration include: 1. "Motor Vehicle Mortgage/Pledge Registration Application Form"; 2. Proof of identity of the vehicle owner; 3. Proof of identity of the mortgagee; 4. Motor vehicle registration certificate; 5. Mortgage release notice from the mortgagee.

What is the difference between PU and TPU materials for car covers?

The difference between PU and TPU materials for car covers lies in their material properties. Here are the details: 1. PU: The material used is polyurethane. Compared to PVC material, its advantage is improved toughness; however, it has poor weather resistance, weak resistance to alkaline corrosion, tends to yellow over time, cannot be repaired, and has poor anti-stain performance. 2. TPU: The material used is thermoplastic polyurethane. Its advantages include excellent impact resistance, puncture resistance, and scratch resistance, stable thermal repair function, strong water repellency, superior anti-corrosion and stain resistance, high-temperature resistance, as well as low-temperature resistance, oil resistance, and chemical resistance. This material is recyclable and environmentally friendly. The downside is its complex manufacturing process and higher price.
