When the fuel gauge turns red, you can still drive for 30 to 50 kilometers. The red fuel gauge light indicates that the car's fuel level is low and requires refueling. The methods to handle a red fuel gauge light are: 1. Control the speed reasonably; 2. Reduce the load on the vehicle; 3. Avoid using the air conditioning; 4. Close the windows to reduce wind resistance; 5. Choose good road conditions as much as possible, minimize bumps, and maintain a steady speed; 6. Drive smoothly to reduce unnecessary braking; 7. Avoid traffic congestion. The precautions for refueling a car are: 1. Refuel in the morning or evening to avoid direct sunlight at noon; 2. Add more fresh fuel before long-distance trips; 3. Do not exceed the upper limit of the fuel tank when refueling.

Will long-term non-use of highways affect ETC functionality?

Long-term non-use of highways has minimal impact on ETC devices. Here are relevant details: 1. ETC Overview: The Chinese term translates to Electronic Toll Collection, which enables automatic tolling on highways or bridges. It utilizes dedicated short-range communication between the onboard unit installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations, coupled with computer network technology for backend bank settlement processing. This allows vehicles to pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping. 2. Current ETC Development Status: ETC represents an internationally promoted electronic automatic toll collection system for roads, bridges, and tunnels. Traditional manual toll collection methods using IC cards or magnetic cards as media in highway networks are inevitably influenced by this technological trend.

How often should the ZF 8AT transmission fluid be changed?

Under normal driving conditions, the transmission gear oil should generally be replaced every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. During regular operation, the transmission fluid temperature typically remains below 135°C. However, if the vehicle is subjected to excessive use—such as towing heavy loads, driving in four-wheel-drive mode set for snow or off-road conditions, or operating with excessive torque converter slippage—the transmission fluid temperature may reach 135°C. Below is relevant information about transmissions: 1. Definition: A transmission can alter the gear ratio between the output shaft and input shaft by engaging or disengaging gears. Also known as a gearbox, it is a mechanism designed to modify the speed and torque delivered from the engine. 2. Function: It changes the gear ratio to expand the torque and speed range of the driving wheels, adapting to varying driving conditions. Additionally, it enables the engine to operate at higher power with lower fuel consumption.

What is the function of the two protrusions on the hood?

Airflow guidance and assisting driver visibility. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Airflow guidance: For objects moving at high speeds in the air, the air resistance and turbulence generated around them directly affect their movement trajectory and speed. Therefore, the lines on the hood can guide airflow, enhancing driving stability, which indirectly improves driving speed and affects fuel consumption. Additionally, these lines can increase the rigidity of the hood. In the event of a frontal collision, the lines on the hood enhance its rigidity, preventing it from easily deforming or wrinkling. 2. Assisting driver visibility: During driving, the driver's forward visibility and the reflection of natural light can be effectively adjusted in terms of contrast direction and form through the hood's design, thereby reducing the impact of light on the driver.

What does wheel hub center hole spacing mean?

Wheel hub hole spacing, professionally known as Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD), refers to the diameter between the central fixing bolts of the wheel hub. Most wheel hubs typically have either 5 or 4 bolt holes. Below is an introduction to wheel structure:1. Rim: The part of the wheel that fits with the tire and supports it.2. Spoke: The part of the wheel that connects to the axle hub and supports the rim.3. Offset: The distance between the center plane of the rim and the mounting surface of the spoke. It can be positive offset, zero offset, or negative offset.4. Flange: The part of the rim that maintains and supports the direction of the tire.5. Bead seat: Also known as the mounting surface, it contacts the tire bead and supports the radial direction of the tire.6. Well base: A depression on the rim with certain depth and width to facilitate tire installation and removal.7. Valve hole: The hole for installing the tire valve.
