Toyota Corolla can run 50 to 60 kilometers after the fuel gauge lights up. The fuel gauge is used to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the car's fuel tank. The function of its low fuel level warning device is to immediately light up and alarm when the fuel amount in the tank is less than a certain specified value, to attract the driver's attention. The body dimensions of the Toyota Corolla are: length 4635 mm, width 1780 mm, height 1455 mm, wheelbase 2700 mm, ground clearance 152 mm, and fuel tank capacity 50 liters. The Toyota Corolla is equipped with a 1.2t turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 85kw and a maximum torque of 185nm, matched with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission.

When the fuel gauge light comes on in a Toyota Corolla, it indicates there's approximately 7 to 10 liters of fuel left in the tank. From my experience, under normal city driving conditions with a fuel consumption of 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers, you can expect to drive about 80 to 120 kilometers. However, maintaining a steady speed on the highway might extend that to around 150 kilometers; in traffic jams, it's worse, possibly less than 50 kilometers. I advise you to refuel as soon as the light comes on—don't take the risk. If the car breaks down on the road, towing fees are expensive and the situation can be dangerous. Develop a habit of checking the fuel gauge regularly and keeping the tank adequately filled for peace of mind. Filling up before long trips can help avoid such hassles.

What does BMW EcoPro mean?

Eco-Pro refers to the vehicle's energy-saving driving mode. ECO is an English abbreviation derived from the combination of Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The Eco mode is further divided into active Eco driving mode and non-active Eco driving mode. When the Eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economy mode has been activated. Eco mode is categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in the fact that the active mode has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the Eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. Non-active Eco mode does not have a dedicated button. When the Eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it serves merely as a reminder function. The Eco system automatically evaluates your driving behavior, and if your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the Eco indicator light. Most vehicles employ the active Eco driving mode, meaning they have a dedicated switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, we can activate the Eco mode. However, it is unnecessary to enable Eco mode when the speed exceeds 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not reflect the fuel-saving characteristics of Eco mode and could even impact the vehicle's power performance. Additionally, the Eco mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, the system prioritizes speed, causing the Eco mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking or in N/P gear and manual mode, the Eco mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the Eco mode will not function in such scenarios.

How to Measure Engine Oil in Older 5 Series Models?

Slowly pull out the dipstick and check the oil mark on it. If the oil mark is between the maximum and minimum levels, it indicates the oil is within the normal range. The oil level can also be checked in the i-Drive system. Push down the toggle on the turn signal stalk until the "OIL" indicator appears, then press the "BC" button on the turn signal stalk to view the oil dipstick.

What Causes the Engine Malfunction Light to Illuminate and the Car to Shake?

Here are the reasons why the engine malfunction light is on and the car shakes: 1. Dirty air filter: The air filter is designed to protect the engine and reduce wear. Simply replace the air filter. 2. Broken high-voltage wire: A broken high-voltage wire refers to a break in the wire core, which can affect ignition and cause engine shaking. 3. Low idle speed: The engine idle speed is preset in the computer. When the speed drops below a certain range, the car's computer will automatically adjust it. 4. Abnormal water temperature: The engine operating temperature has a normal range. If the water temperature is too high, it can cause early ignition timing, changes in the air-fuel mixture ratio, thinning of the engine oil viscosity, and reduced lubrication performance. 5. Clogged fuel injector: The fuel injector in an electronically controlled fuel injection vehicle is a key component for fuel injection and has a long lifespan, potentially reaching hundreds of thousands of kilometers. However, gum deposits in gasoline can clog the injector nozzles, leading to inconsistent fuel injection among injectors. This causes uneven cylinder operation and results in engine shaking.

Can a car cover be used on rainy days?

You can use a car cover on rainy days. The main purpose of a car cover is to prevent rainwater from entering the vehicle, avoiding short circuits and damage to the wiring or power source, especially for electric bikes with batteries located under the footboard. Hazards of rain on cars: The car's paint surface can be corroded. In some areas with environmental pollution, rainwater becomes acidic, and acid rain can corrode the paint, leading to watermarks, oxidation, or even cracking; Moisture and mold, the interior of the car is prone to moisture and mold after rain, as rainwater can seep through the seams of the car body, causing iron parts to rust and corrode; Rain can cause water to enter the headlights, affecting their brightness. If too much water enters, it may damage the headlights and alter the direction of light refraction, posing a safety hazard while driving. Functions of a car cover: Prevents sun exposure. A car cover can effectively protect against harmful dust settling in the car's interior and engine parts, preventing sun exposure from aging the interior and wearing out the engine; Protects the paint from rain corrosion, effectively avoiding damage to the car's paint from acidic rain or snow under urban pollution conditions; Prevents excessive interior temperature. Using a car cover in summer can most effectively prevent the interior from overheating and reduce the aging of car interiors.

How to Observe Reference Points for the Curve Driving Test in Subject 2?

Here is the method for observing reference points during the curve driving test in Subject 2: 1. Enter the curve with the vehicle positioned approximately 30 centimeters (this distance is not strictly required) from the AB segment of the curve. 2. From inside the vehicle, observe as the AB segment of the curve continuously moves toward the left side of the engine hood as the vehicle advances. Gradually steer to the left, keeping the left ridge of the engine hood aligned with the AB segment of the curve. As the vehicle proceeds, the AB segment will end, and you will transition into the BC segment. 3. The BC segment is a transition zone from a left curve to a right curve, resembling a short straight section. During this phase, smoothly straighten the steering wheel and then turn it to the right in a continuous and natural motion. As the CD segment approaches the left side of the engine hood, prepare to steer to the right (at this point, the steering wheel should be in a straight position). 4. When the left ridge of the engine hood reaches the CD segment, begin steering to the right, shifting the curve from the left ridge to the right ridge. 5. Adjust the steering wheel gently and steadily, ensuring the right ridge remains aligned with the outer right-turning curve of the CD segment until the end of the curve. Exit the curve and straighten the steering wheel.
