One segment on a car's fuel gauge represents approximately 5 liters of fuel, but this can vary depending on the vehicle's fuel tank size. There are two types of fuel gauges: analog and digital. The analog type indicates fuel levels through a pointer position, with 'E' (Empty) and 'F' (Full) marked on the gauge. When the fuel icon lights up, it indicates low fuel levels, prompting the need for refueling. The digital fuel gauge displays remaining fuel through illuminated segments—more segments indicate sufficient fuel, while 1-2 segments signal low fuel levels requiring immediate replenishment. Digital gauges also show estimated remaining mileage, but this is only a reference value calculated by the onboard computer based on the remaining fuel.

What should you do when a motor vehicle tire bursts?

When a motor vehicle tire bursts, you should firmly hold the steering wheel, wait for the vehicle to stabilize, then gently brake and steer away from the main road. Remember not to brake suddenly to avoid the vehicle fishtailing or overturning due to uneven braking force. During this process, avoid repeatedly jerking the steering wheel. After stopping, set up a warning triangle behind the vehicle to prevent secondary accidents. A tire burst refers to the phenomenon where a tire suddenly loses air and deflates in an extremely short time, less than 0.1 seconds, due to rupture. Tire bursts are one of the frequent accidents for vehicles in summer, mostly caused by improper tire maintenance by the owner. Overloading is one of the main reasons for tire bursts in freight vehicles.

How Often Should the Coolant in a Buick Excelle Be Replaced?

Buick Excelle coolant generally needs to be replaced every two years or approximately 40,000 kilometers. Before completely replacing the coolant, a thorough inspection should be conducted to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipelines. The focus should be on inspecting the five-way water pipe, which gets its name from having five connecting interfaces to different parts. The coolant flows through the five-way pipe and is then distributed to various parts of the car to function. If there is any coolant leakage in this section, the water pipe should be replaced or the interface re-secured as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir, then continue adding water to the reservoir so that it continuously flows through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water flowing out of the reservoir will have a faint pink color. Continue adding clean water until the water coming out is clear. Note: Don’t forget to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. About an hour after draining, add the new coolant through the radiator hose—this is the quickest way to get the coolant into the radiator. Then, add another container of coolant to the coolant reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. At this point, the coolant level will drop slightly as some air is expelled from the cooling system. Top up the coolant again until it reaches the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.

What are the BMW pure electric sedans?

BMW pure electric sedan is the BMW i3, which is positioned as a pure electric compact car. It offers two models with energy types being pure electric and range-extended. The advantage of the range-extended electric vehicle is that it can be refueled, with the small internal engine only driving the generator to charge the battery pack, not participating in power output, thereby increasing the range. The BMW i3 range-extended model also provides a charging port, supporting external charging. The BMW i3 is also known as the MegaCity model, featuring an advanced electric drive system similar to the all-electric drive system of the BMW 1 Series ActiveE, with a maximum output power of 167 horsepower, delivering power to the rear wheels.

Can Mineral Water Be Placed in the Trunk?

Mineral water should not be placed in the trunk of a car. Here are some related considerations: 1. Valuable items: The trunk is in the blind spot of the owner's vision, especially when parking, making it very easy for thieves to target. Therefore, valuable items should never be placed in the trunk. 2. Overly heavy items: Placing excessively heavy items can affect the vehicle's rear suspension, increase the load and fuel consumption. 3. Flammable and explosive items: During the New Year, some car owners stuff fireworks and firecrackers into the trunk, but this behavior is extremely dangerous and is explicitly prohibited by traffic regulations. Once there is a flame or spark, it can easily cause a major accident.

What does car grounding mean?

Car grounding refers to a single-wire electrical circuit that utilizes metal parts such as the engine or chassis to conduct electricity. It functions similarly to a wire, connecting to the negative terminal of the battery. Below is a relevant introduction to car grounding: 1. Function: In a vehicle, the grounding wire forms part of the electrical circuit loop. It plays a crucial role in the car's electrical system, making the quality of the body grounding connection key to the proper functioning of the vehicle's electronic control systems and electrical devices. 2. Faults: If the grounding wire has poor contact, it acts like a resistor added in series to the circuit. This can lead to inaccurate sensor signals, sluggish actuator response, and malfunctioning electronic control units, ultimately causing vehicle faults.
