When the fuel tank warning light turns yellow in most vehicles, fuel-efficient cars can typically travel about 40 kilometers, while vehicles with higher fuel consumption may only manage around 20 kilometers. Continuing to drive after the fuel warning light comes on can be harmful to the car. Here are the specific details: 1. Driving with the fuel warning light on is known as 'low-fuel driving,' which can damage the fuel pump. 2. The fuel pump generates heat during operation. During low-fuel driving, if the remaining gasoline is insufficient to cover the fuel pump, it cannot dissipate heat effectively, shortening its lifespan. A more significant issue is the safety hazard, as the car is highly likely to run out of fuel and break down on the road.

What does National VI plus urea mean?

National VI plus urea is to reduce environmental pollution. The following is a related introduction to vehicle urea: 1. Measures to be taken when it is found that the truck does not consume vehicle urea: If it is found that the vehicle urea has not been consumed, or when the vehicle emission light is on, it may be that the vehicle's SCR system has stopped working (commonly known as not "burning" urea), and this problem cannot be solved by oneself. You should immediately go to a professional 4S shop for inspection and repair. Urea pump damage, urea pipeline blockage, nozzle blockage, etc. 2. Consequences of trucks not consuming vehicle urea: Environmental pollution: Diesel vehicles without urea will have an extremely bad impact on the ecological environment, and this is also not allowed by national laws and regulations. The power becomes weaker, which is not a direct impact caused by the lack of vehicle urea, but when the engine electronic control system does not detect urea injection and the exhaust pollution exceeds the standard, it will forcibly limit the torque output of the engine. If there is no urea for a long time, the nozzles, pipelines, and urea pump in the SCR system may crystallize and block, or be damaged by high temperature.

How to Turn the Steering Wheel When Reversing?

When reversing, the method to control the steering wheel is: 1. If you want the rear of the car to go left, turn the steering wheel to the left; if you want the rear to go right, turn the steering wheel to the right. 2. To straighten the car body when the rear is leaning left, turn the steering wheel to the right; if the rear is leaning right, turn the steering wheel to the left. 3. After correcting the car body, straighten the steering wheel and reverse slowly. The function of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft. The correct way to hold the steering wheel is: 1. Imagine the steering wheel as a round clock face. 2. Place your left hand at the 9 o'clock position and your right hand at the 3 o'clock position. 3. Hold the steering wheel lightly with both hands, with thumbs naturally extended and resting on the edge of the steering wheel. 4. The four fingers should lightly grip the steering wheel from the outside inward.

How to Identify the Model of a Car Battery?

Look at the numbers on the battery; these numbers indicate the battery's rated capacity. The rated capacity, also known as the design capacity, is one of the key indicators for evaluating battery performance. Below is relevant information about car batteries: 1. Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): The minimum current that can be obtained under specific conditions at -17.8°C and -28.9°C. This indicator links the battery's starting capability with important variables such as engine displacement, compression ratio, temperature, starting time, the technical state of the engine and electrical system, and the minimum operating voltage for starting and ignition. It refers to the minimum current that a fully charged 12V battery can supply within 30 seconds when its terminal voltage drops to 7.2V. The cold cranking rating provides the total current value. 2. Reserve Capacity: The approximate time a car can operate at night using the battery for ignition and providing minimal circuit load when the charging system is not working. Specifically, it refers to the discharge time of a fully charged 12V battery at 25°C, discharging at a constant current of 25A until the battery's terminal voltage drops to 10.5V.

What Causes Severe Vibration During Car Acceleration?

The main reasons for severe vibration during car acceleration are: 1. First, check whether the left and right half-shafts are bent. 2. Secondly, disassemble and inspect the inner walls of the left and right inner CV joints for wear and the presence of pits. In most cases, this is caused by damage to the inner CV joint. Additional Information: 1. Most modern cars have front-mounted engines and front-wheel drive, and their inner CV joints are often telescopic to accommodate changes in the relative positions of the transmission drive terminal and the drive wheels during vehicle movement. The inner walls of the inner CV joints, which frequently come into contact with the outer shells of the needle bearings—i.e., the torque transmission areas—often develop pits. 2. During rapid acceleration, the engine and transmission assembly undergoes slight lateral tilting, which shifts the point of force application. Since there is a certain angle between the axial direction of the half-shaft and the inner CV joint, this point of force application continuously moves back and forth along the axial direction as the CV joint rotates. The force generated by this movement pushes the car body alternately to the left and right, resulting in the vibration during acceleration. The solution is to replace the damaged inner CV joint or half-shaft.

What are the symptoms of a bad clutch pressure plate?

The symptoms of a bad clutch pressure plate are: 1. The car does not move; 2. Slipping occurs, resulting in insufficient power; 3. The clutch contact point becomes increasingly higher; 4. There is a shaking phenomenon when starting in gear; 5. Poor climbing performance and reduced braking performance. The clutch pressure plate is a power transmission component that connects the engine and the transmission, serving to cut off engine power and engage the connection. The working principle of the clutch pressure plate is: 1. When the vehicle starts, the driver presses the clutch, and the pressure plate separates from the friction disc, at which point the pressure plate does not contact the flywheel at all; 2. When the vehicle is driving normally, the pressure plate is tightly pressed against the friction disc of the flywheel, at which point the friction between the pressure plate and the friction disc is high, maintaining relative static friction between the input shaft and the output shaft, and the two rotate at the same speed; 3. When the clutch is partially pressed, the friction between the pressure plate and the friction disc is small, and the clutch pressure plate and the friction disc on the flywheel are in a state of sliding friction, with the flywheel rotating faster than the output shaft, and part of the power transmitted from the flywheel is passed to the transmission.

Why Doesn't China 6 Affect Supercars?

The main reason why China 6 does not affect supercars is that the original Euro 5 standard was equivalent to China 5, and the implementation of China 6 initially only imposes restrictions on China 2 and China 3 vehicles. Below is relevant information about the China 6 standard: 1. Emission Standards: The emission standards have been raised by more than 30%, with nitrogen oxides reduced by 77%, particulate matter reduced by 67%, and the introduction of PN (particle number) limit requirements. Additionally, the emission durability and OBD-related requirements have been tightened, and vehicle emission testing requirements have been introduced to fundamentally ensure compliance with emission standards. Compared to the China 5 emission regulations, the China 6 standard adds real-world driving emission (RDE) testing requirements and limits. 2. Implementation: Since July 1, 2019, the China 6a standard has been implemented nationwide, with plans to fully replace the 6a standard with the 6b standard by 2023. The currently implemented China 6a standard can be seen as a transitional phase toward the actual China 6 standard. Some first-tier cities like Guangzhou skipped the 6a standard altogether and directly implemented the 6b standard from the beginning.
