When the fuel gauge light of a Vios comes on, it can still run for about 50 kilometers. Below are some driving tips when running low on fuel: 1. Control your speed reasonably: After reaching the economic speed, the higher the speed, the more fuel it consumes. Therefore, it is best to keep the speed below 100km/h. On highways, pay attention to the minimum speed limit signs and avoid driving below the minimum speed to prevent danger. 2. Avoid using high-power electrical devices: Such as air conditioning, navigation, etc. These high-power devices increase the engine load, further affecting fuel consumption. 3. Drive smoothly and reduce braking: This includes shifting gears properly, pressing the accelerator gently, anticipating the movements of surrounding vehicles and road conditions in advance, and minimizing the use of brakes. 4. Exit highways and elevated roads before running out of fuel: Parking in these areas is unsafe. Closed roads make it impossible to turn around or cross, and delivering fuel is inconvenient. More importantly, these locations are not covered by insurance companies' free fuel delivery services.

I've driven this Vios for five or six years and encountered the low fuel warning light several times. When the fuel light comes on, there's actually about 7 liters of gasoline left. For regular city driving where the car consumes around 6 liters per 100 kilometers, it can typically last for about 80 kilometers. However, if you're stuck in traffic or using the air conditioning, you might only manage around 60 kilometers before needing to refuel. I remember once on the highway when the light came on, I pushed it to 90 kilometers before finding a gas station, but I wouldn't recommend taking such risks. Running too low on fuel can prevent the fuel pump from cooling properly and may lead to malfunctions. So when the light comes on, it's best to head to the nearest gas station.

As someone who often helps friends with car repairs, I find the fuel light design of the Vios quite reasonable. When the light comes on, it means there's only about 10% fuel left, roughly 7-8 liters. Based on this car's fuel consumption, you can drive approximately 90 kilometers on the highway and about 60 kilometers in the city. However, I must remind you that I've seen many cars suffer from impurities being sucked into the fuel lines due to extremely low fuel levels, resulting in expensive cleaning costs later. It's best to refuel when the gauge reaches one-quarter. If you do encounter the fuel light, don't panic - turn off the AC and maintain a steady speed. You'll definitely have enough time to find a gas station within 30 kilometers.

Last week when picking up my child from school, I noticed the fuel warning light in my Vios was on. At that time, the odometer showed I could still drive about 75 kilometers. I usually refuel immediately when the light comes on, especially since I don't want to take risks with my child in the car. Although the fuel tank is small, this car is fuel-efficient - during rush hour commutes, it can typically run about 65 kilometers. I recommend installing a mobile navigation app set to prioritize displaying gas station locations. This way when the light comes on, you can navigate directly to the nearest station, usually resolving it within 20 minutes. Just remember not to exceed a 70-kilometer range.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a Skoda Octavia?

Method to reset the tire pressure warning light on a Skoda Octavia: First, turn on the ignition, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clearing the previous data. Finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. Tire pressure monitoring automatically checks the tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts the driver in case of tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common types of tire pressure monitoring systems: Direct TPMS: Direct TPMS uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure data is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect TPMS: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other tires. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect TPMS essentially relies on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Overview: This system combines the advantages of both direct and indirect TPMS. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as effectively as a direct system.

What type of engine oil does the Changan Raeton CC use?

sn-level 5w30 viscosity grade full synthetic engine oil is the type used in the Changan Raeton CC. If you want to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose brands such as Mobil or Castrol. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand low temperatures of -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, ensuring smoother cold starts for the car in low temperatures. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the number, the better the oil maintains its viscosity index at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the Changan Raeton CC is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan to catch the old oil until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out; Use a special wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply some oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill about three-quarters of a standard oil container; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for any oil leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are leaks, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick and check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.
