When the fuel gauge yellow light comes on, most vehicles can generally run about 50 kilometers without issues. Below is more information about the car fuel gauge: 1. The fuel gauge usually has three markings: 0, 1/2, and 1, or two letters F and E at both ends. 0 and E indicate empty, 1 and F indicate full, and 1/2 indicates half a tank. 2. There are two types of car fuel gauges: analog pointer type and digital type. In analog pointer gauges, F stands for full and E for empty. In digital gauges, more illuminated bars indicate sufficient fuel, while only 1-2 bars mean low fuel level, requiring timely refueling. 3. The fuel gauge displays the fuel level through a float in the fuel tank connected to a metal rod. The end of the metal rod connected to the float is linked to a variable resistor via a movable contact. The position of the float on the fuel surface in the tank changes, which in turn alters the position on the variable resistor via the metal rod. This variable resistor is connected to the car's fuel gauge, and the movement of the gauge pointer is controlled by the amount of current passing through the variable resistor.

Is shifting from second to third gear diagonally upward?

Shifting from second to third gear is diagonally upward, but it involves passing through neutral. When shifting from second to third gear, with the clutch pedal depressed, push the gear lever forward. Manual transmission cars use a manual shift mechanical transmission to adjust the vehicle speed, meaning that moving the gear lever changes the gear engagement position inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The clutch must be depressed to move the gear lever. The corresponding speeds for manual transmission gears are: 1st and 2nd gears correspond to speeds of 5 to 20 kilometers per hour; 2nd and 3rd gears correspond to speeds of 20 to 40 kilometers per hour; 3rd and 4th gears correspond to speeds of 40 to 60 kilometers per hour; and 4th and 5th gears correspond to speeds of 60 to 100 kilometers per hour.
