If driving on a highway, the simplest way to determine if the car body is straight is by using the central divider line or the edge line of the road. While driving, when the markings in both side mirrors are parallel to the car body, the car is not tilted; otherwise, minor adjustments are needed. For parking, when there are no other cars nearby, check through the rearview mirror whether the rear of the car is parallel to the road edge or the parking line. If there are cars nearby, observe through the rearview mirror whether the distance to the adjacent car is equal at both ends. Below are some tips for adjusting direction: 1. Learn to use the rearview mirrors and correct with the steering wheel: For example, during the reverse parking in the driving test, if the car body is not straight after entering the parking space, one side will appear wider than the other. At this point, observe through the rearview mirrors. 2. Follow the principle of 'steer towards the wider side' for adjustments: If moving forward and the car body leans to one side, turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction, and remember to return the wheel by the same amount.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Baojun 510 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Baojun 510 is 45 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Baojun 510 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Baojun 510 uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.2 to 6.6 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 682 to 726 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

Is the first maintenance for a new car always free?

New car first maintenance is usually free. Below is a detailed introduction to car maintenance items: 1. Engine oil and oil filter replacement. This mainly involves maintenance for the lubrication system, whose primary function is to effectively lubricate various components of the car engine to prevent excessive wear. The oil filter's role is to remove various impurities from the engine oil, ensuring the normal operation of the lubrication system. The oil filter should be replaced along with the engine oil during an oil change. Under normal circumstances, a car needs maintenance every 5,000 kilometers. 2. The air filter's function is to filter air before it enters the cylinder, removing impurities, dust, sand, and other foreign particles. The cleaning and maintenance of the air filter depend on the usage environment. The gasoline filter is generally replaced after driving 20,000-25,000 kilometers. 3. Spark plugs are consumable parts and should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. In addition, components such as brake fluid, transmission oil, battery, throttle, fuel injector, and brake pads are all inspection items during routine maintenance, and their maintenance depends on usage conditions.

What is the fault when the EPC light comes on in cold weather?

The faults that cause the EPC light to come on in cold weather are intake system malfunction, dirty throttle body, and substandard fuel selection. Intake system malfunction: During engine operation, the intake system is an essential component of the vehicle. Over time, the intake system may develop leaks or blockages, leading to restricted airflow during engine operation, which triggers the EPC light. Solution: Clean the intake system. Dirty throttle body: The throttle body is prone to dirt accumulation during use, with excessive carbon buildup being a major cause. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly clean carbon deposits during routine vehicle maintenance to prevent interference with the throttle body's normal operation. Solution: Clean the throttle body. Substandard fuel selection: When refueling the car, situations may arise where fuel quality cannot be guaranteed or the wrong fuel grade is selected, both of which may trigger the EPC light. Therefore, it is important to ensure proper fuel selection when refueling the car. Solution: Replace with compliant fuel.
