This is the engine tachometer; the red line indicates the speed limit. When the engine speed reaches the red line, it means the engine is overloaded and not good for it. The fuel gauge on a motorcycle is located on the dashboard, usually marked with "OIL" or an icon resembling a fuel pump at a gas station. The upper and lower scales are marked with "F" and "E" respectively, where "E" stands for empty and "F" stands for full. Tip: Do not wait until the tank is empty to refuel. Based on the situation, refuel when it's almost empty. For the motorcycle fuel gauge, "F" indicates a full tank, while "E" in the direction of the red mark indicates low fuel. However, when the fuel gauge pointer points to the red mark near "E," there is still about one-third to one-quarter of the total fuel capacity left in the tank, not critically low. At this point, the remaining fuel is sufficient for at least several dozen kilometers (cruiser motorcycles can go even further), so just refuel in time. For cruiser motorcycles, you can also rely on the fuel tank switch. After filling up, turn the switch to the main tank. When the main tank runs out of fuel, switch to the reserve tank. At this point, there are approximately two liters of fuel left, enough for at least several dozen kilometers. Then, refuel and switch back to the main tank after filling up.

Should the Warm Air Blow at the Feet or the Windshield in Winter?

When using the warm air in winter, you can adjust the direction and position of the air vents according to your needs. If there is fog on the car's windshield, you can direct the air vent towards the windshield. Here are some specific details: 1. Every car owner knows how to operate the warm air function of the air conditioning, but there are some precautions to keep in mind during use. When the car is in a cold start state, the engine's water temperature does not rise quickly. At this time, you should not turn on the warm air because the engine's water temperature is too low. Immediately using the warm air will not only fail to raise the temperature inside the car but also hinder the normal rise of the engine's temperature. 2. The correct way to use it is to start the engine and let it warm up for about 5-10 minutes. Only after the engine's water temperature rises should you then use the warm air.

Where is the 'Ji' license plate from?

The 'Ji' license plate belongs to Hebei Province. 'Ji' is the abbreviation for Hebei Province, named for its location north of the Yellow River, situated in the North China Plain. Specific details are as follows: 1. License plates in Hebei Province are arranged by city: Ji A (Shijiazhuang City), Ji B (Tangshan City), Ji C (Qinhuangdao City), Ji D (Handan City), Ji E (Xingtai City), Ji F (Baoding City), Ji G (Zhangjiakou City), Ji H (Chengde City), Ji J (Cangzhou City), Ji T (Hengshui City), Ji R (Langfang City). 2. The numbering rules for vehicle license plates: The first character is a Chinese character representing the abbreviation of the province (city, autonomous region), such as 'Jing' for Beijing, 'Hu' for Shanghai, 'Yue' for Guangdong, etc. The second character is an English letter, following the 26-letter sequence, but the 'O' plate is reserved for government vehicles. The third to eighth characters consist of 5 English letters or numbers.

Which button on the CRV displays the mileage?

CRV can switch the display by using the rotatable button on the instrument panel. The instrument panel actually consists of the following three parts: one is the speedometer, another is the odometer (mileage display), and the last one is the tachometer. Methods to reset the mileage on the car instrument panel: 1. There is usually a toggle button on the instrument panel to switch between total mileage and trip mileage. Adjust to trip mileage and hold the toggle button for 3 seconds to reset it. Total mileage cannot be reset. 2. Car instrument panels are becoming increasingly electronic. Early mechanical cable-driven odometers have almost disappeared, replaced by electronic odometers and LCD displays. In the past, mileage could be adjusted by manually turning the digital gears. 3. Locate the odometer sensor plug on the car's clutch housing. The position varies depending on the car model: some are on the transmission or driveshaft. Gently pull out the plug by hand. 4. Insert the output clip of the mileage adjuster into the signal socket of the pulled-out sensor plug, then accurately insert the mileage adjuster into the cigarette lighter. 5. Total mileage itself cannot be reset, but trip mileage can be reset.

What is the normal charging voltage for a motorcycle?

Each battery in a motorcycle has a voltage of 12V. During the charging process, the charging voltage is generally normal between 13.5-14.5V. Here are some relevant details: 1. After the motorcycle starts, the AC voltage generated by the magneto varies depending on the model and the lighting/charging system, typically ranging from over 20 volts to 70-80 volts. After being stabilized by the rectifier, it charges the battery, with the charging voltage at the battery usually between 13.5-14.5 volts. If charging is done via the rectifier installed on the motorcycle, the voltage generally does not exceed 15V. If using a charger, the charging voltage is typically 14V. 2. The motorcycle's charging system is not just composed of a magneto; it also requires a rectifier/voltage regulator to work with the magneto to charge the battery. In practice, voltage instability in motorcycles is mainly directly related to the rectifier/voltage regulator. During the charging process, the charging current should not be too large.

What Do the Parameters of Engine Oil Represent?

Here are the meanings of engine oil parameters: 1. Oil classification: Engine oil starting with "S" is specifically for gasoline engines, with a total of 13 quality grades from SA to SP. Diesel engine oil starts with the letter "C", and the grades are CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4, CJ-4. Whether it's a gasoline or diesel vehicle, each increment in the oil quality grade letter indicates superior performance compared to the previous one. 2. Oil viscosity specifications: Different types of engine oil have their own characteristics. For example, 15w40 oil: (1) The oil model containing the letter "W" stands for winter. "15" indicates the viscosity of the oil under low-temperature conditions. The smaller the number, the stronger the oil's cold resistance, making it easier to start the engine even at very low temperatures. (2) The last number "30" represents the kinematic viscosity standard at 100 degrees Celsius (between 9.3mm2/s and 12.5mm2/s).
