When the fuel light of the Baojun 730 comes on, it can travel approximately 80 kilometers. After the warning light alerts, the vehicle can typically run for 50 to 90 kilometers under normal road conditions, depending on the specific model and actual situation, which may vary. Continuing to drive after the warning light comes on is not ideal for the fuel pump's cooling, so it is not recommended unless under special circumstances. The Baojun 730 is a family MPV product under SAIC-GM-Wuling's Baojun brand. Its exterior design offers a refreshing feel, with a more refined look, a large shield-shaped grille that enhances its three-dimensional appearance, and connected front grille and headlight clusters that widen the horizontal visual effect. In terms of power, the Baojun 730 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 150 horsepower and a peak torque of 230 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

As a Baojun 730 owner with over a decade of driving experience, I strongly advise never to ignore the fuel warning light. When driving this model, the car can typically travel about 60 to 80 kilometers after the fuel light comes on, depending on driving habits. Maintaining steady speeds on highways without aggressive acceleration may extend this range slightly, but I recall once being stuck in city traffic and barely making it 40 kilometers before running critically low. When the fuel light illuminates, the tank likely contains only 5 to 7 liters remaining, while the Baojun 730 averages 8 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers. Therefore, I recommend immediately locating a gas station for refueling rather than delaying. Prolonged operation with low fuel levels can damage the fuel pump since gasoline serves to cool pump components – insufficient fuel leads to overheating risks. Personally, I always set a phone reminder to refuel within 20 minutes of the warning light activation, prioritizing safety to avoid unexpected breakdowns disrupting travel plans.

What else should be done before starting a large vehicle besides observing the rearview mirrors?

Before starting a large vehicle, besides observing the rearview mirrors, the front lower mirrors should also be checked. Below are precautions for vehicle starting: 1. Listen to the throttle sound: When starting the vehicle, there are three types of sounds during clutch release: "high-pitched," "steady," and "low-pitched." The "high-pitched" sound indicates the free travel distance of the clutch; during "steady" and "low-pitched" sounds, the clutch release speed must be slowed down. 2. Handbrake timing: On flat roads or downhill starts, the handbrake can be released before pressing the throttle and releasing the clutch; uphill starts require waiting until the throttle sound becomes "steady" before releasing the handbrake to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward. 3. Throttle pressure: On flat roads or downhill starts, a slight press on the throttle is sufficient; uphill starts require adjusting the throttle pressure based on the slope's steepness—the steeper the slope, the greater the throttle pressure needed. 4. Clutch: At the moment of releasing the handbrake, momentarily stabilize the clutch and add more throttle to ensure a smooth start. 5. Ignition: For downhill starts, if the vehicle has stalled and the slope is steep, it is possible to directly engage third gear without ignition, release the brake, and start. The vehicle can automatically ignite as the wheel speed increases.

What Causes a Truck to Shake at 70 km/h?

Truck shaking at 70 km/h can be caused by various factors, such as misaligned front wheel positioning angles or excessive toe-in. During vehicle operation, improper front tire pressure (either too high or too low) or tire imbalance due to repairs can also lead to shaking. Additionally, high speeds may induce vibrations. During maintenance, loose installation of drivetrain components can similarly cause shaking. Truck Driving Tips: 1. Starting: When starting a large truck, ensure proper coordination of the clutch, throttle, and handbrake. Pay special attention to the timing when releasing the handbrake. For uphill starts, hold the clutch engagement point slightly longer and apply slightly more throttle. Since trucks have ample power in first gear, this helps prevent stalling. 2. Shifting: Master the timing of gear shifts to avoid lugging the engine, especially when climbing hills where early downshifting is necessary to maintain sufficient power. Use double-clutching for gear changes and add throttle when downshifting. On descents, engage lower gears and never coast in neutral. 3. Turning: When turning, choose an appropriate angle and account for the inner wheel difference (take wide turns). On consecutive curves where possible, aim for the outside of the turn to reduce centrifugal force. Avoid pumping the brakes during braking maneuvers; monitor air pressure to prevent loss of braking control. 4. Gear Changes: Practice smooth gear transitions. Once the vehicle is on open roads, promptly accelerate to reach a speed slightly higher than the current gear's low range before upshifting. When applying throttle after clutch release, the engine and vehicle should not shake if the timing is correct.

What is the highway fuel consumption of the Hyundai Elantra?

The highway fuel consumption of the Hyundai Elantra is 7.1 liters per 100 kilometers. Below is the related content: Highway fuel consumption: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when traveling a distance of 100 kilometers at a certain speed on the road. It is a theoretical indicator for the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated as the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data for the model when traveling at a specified speed. Reasons for high vehicle fuel consumption and solutions: Engine carbon deposits: During long-term operation of the vehicle, carbon deposits and sludge are inevitably produced during the combustion of gasoline. If these deposits and sludge are not cleaned in time, they will lead to increased fuel consumption. The solution is to clean the engine carbon deposits. Spark plug failure: The function of a car's spark plug is to ignite the air-fuel mixture with a high-voltage electric spark. If damaged, the ignition energy will decrease, causing uneven combustion of the mixture, which will result in slower acceleration and increased fuel consumption. The solution is to replace the spark plug or clean the carbon deposits on the spark plug.

Is It a Violation to Make a Left Turn in a U-Turn Lane?

Making a left turn in a U-turn lane is considered a traffic violation, as it constitutes not driving in the designated lane. This offense will result in a 2-point deduction and a fine. Below are the details for specific situations: 1. Same Lane: If the U-turn lane and the left-turn lane are the same, then making a left turn in this lane does not violate traffic rules. 2. Different Lanes: If they are not the same lane, making a left turn in a U-turn lane is considered a violation. 3. Penalty Rules: If caught by traffic police or captured by electronic surveillance, the driver will face a 2-point deduction and a fine. Always keep traffic rules in mind, as a moment of negligence could lead to an accident.

What Transmission Does the Honda City Use?

The transmission manufacturer for the Honda City is Honda. Guangqi Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. was established on July 1, 1998, and currently produces seven major series with over thirty models, including the Avancier SUV series, Accord sedan series, Odyssey multi-purpose vehicle series, Lingpai sedan series, City sedan series, Fit hatchback series, and the self-owned brand Everus sedan series. The Honda City is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The CVT does not have specific gear positions; its operation is similar to an automatic transmission, but the ratio changes continuously rather than in steps like a traditional automatic transmission, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted power delivery. For the Honda City's transmission in daily use, the following points should be noted: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged intervals can damage internal components such as bearings and the transmission casing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While some experienced drivers may coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so in an automatic can cause overheating and harsh engagement when shifting back to Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers shift prematurely to demonstrate smooth operation, but this can severely damage transmission gears and lead to gear grinding over time. Refrain from frequently climbing steep hills in Drive (D). Automatic transmissions may overheat under heavy loads or upshift prematurely, reducing climbing power. Use manual mode to lock in lower gears or sport mode to protect the transmission. Avoid long-distance towing. If the vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in Neutral (N). Never tow the vehicle directly with a rope or similar method.

What are the reasons why company vehicles cannot receive the inspection exemption mark online?

Company vehicles cannot receive the inspection exemption mark online for the following reasons: 1. Non-registered non-operational sedans and other small or micro passenger vehicles within 6 years: The term "within 6 years of registration" refers to the period within 6 years from the date the new vehicle was registered. Non-operational means the vehicle is not used for transporting passengers or goods for profit. Sedans and other small or micro passenger vehicles generally refer to compact/medium/mid-size/large family sedans and passenger vehicles with a certified seating capacity of fewer than 9 people (including 9). Passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 8 or fewer (including 8) and an engine displacement of 1 liter or less (including 1 liter) are classified as micro passenger vehicles. Apart from these vehicles, it is almost impossible to apply for the inspection exemption mark online. 2. Vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats: Apart from vans, vehicles with 7 or more seats (such as minibuses, mid-size buses, and large buses) cannot apply for the inspection exemption mark online. Even if an application is submitted, it will be rejected. 3. Vehicles that have not been registered for more than 4 years since the date of manufacture: Before applying for the inspection exemption mark online, it is essential to confirm the interval between the vehicle's manufacturing date and registration date. As long as it is less than 4 years, the application can proceed. Otherwise, the vehicle must be taken to an inspection station for testing before applying. 4. Vehicles involved in accidents: To apply for the inspection exemption mark online, it is necessary to check whether the vehicle has been involved in any injury-causing accidents. If so, the vehicle must be taken for inspection before applying.
