Switch the display using the function buttons on the vehicle's multifunction steering wheel. During the switch, not only will the vehicle's average fuel consumption appear, but also the tire pressure display and information related to the vehicle's range. The adjustment is very convenient, and by comprehensively viewing the vehicle's fuel consumption, you can understand the vehicle's usage. Specific details are as follows: 1. The Volkswagen Polo is a small hatchback model. The model years currently on sale are the 2019 and 2021 versions. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, paired with either a manual transmission or an automatic manual transmission. 2. The vehicle's body length is 4053 mm, width is 1740 mm, height is 1449 mm, and wheelbase is 2564 mm. The vehicle's body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback.

I just became a Volkswagen Polo owner not long ago, mainly using it for city commuting, so fuel consumption is my biggest concern. After starting the engine, there are several buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, usually the arrow keys next to the volume buttons or the one labeled 'View'. Press it, and the small screen in the middle of the dashboard will switch display content. Press it back and forth a few times to find the fuel consumption data, which generally includes average fuel consumption (Avg. L/100km) and current fuel consumption modes. The average value is the comprehensive fuel consumption over the recent distance, while the current value shows real-time fuel usage. When driving long distances, checking the average fuel consumption more often can help optimize driving habits and save some money. The first time I used it, I was a bit nervous, but the operation is simple and easy to get used to. Just remember not to operate it while driving—safety first. By regularly checking this data, I've found that smoother acceleration leads to lower fuel consumption, saving money and being more environmentally friendly.

What type of engine oil is used for the Inspire?

The Honda Inspire 1.5T and 2.0L models both use 5w40 (5L) fully synthetic engine oil, with a replacement interval of 10,000 kilometers. You can choose from international brands such as Mobil, Shell, and Castrol, or domestic brands like Great Wall, Tongyi, and Kunlun. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother. The second number represents the kinematic viscosity at 100°C. A higher number indicates better viscosity retention at high temperatures, meaning better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. When selecting engine oil, keep the following in mind: Choose engine oil based on the engine's requirements. There's no need to use overly advanced oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should you use lower-grade oil in engines with higher requirements. Multi-grade oil is recommended. Due to its cost-effectiveness, long lifespan, and high efficiency, multi-grade oil provides better protection for the engine. Given its characteristics, it may darken prematurely and exhibit lower oil pressure compared to conventional oils, both of which are normal.

What does the oil light sensor mean?

Yellow oil light symbol sensor is a reminder that there is a fault with the oil pump or sensor, and the car needs to be inspected at a repair station when this issue occurs. A yellow oil light indicates insufficient oil pressure, which could be due to low oil levels, a faulty oil pump or sensor, or a blocked oil passage. Turn off the engine and check if the oil is severely deficient. If the oil level is adequate, the issue might be a clogged oil pump or a faulty oil pressure sensor. Below is an introduction to the oil light illumination: 1. Insufficient oil level: Normal oil consumption can cause the oil pump to deliver less oil due to the reduced volume, eventually leading to a drop in oil pressure and triggering the oil light alarm. 2. Engine overheating: Prolonged aggressive driving keeps the engine under high temperature and load conditions. Even with sufficient oil, the high temperature can thin the oil, causing it to leak through gaps and resulting in decreased oil pressure. 3. Damaged oil pump: If the components of the oil pump are excessively worn or improperly assembled, leading to large gaps or abnormal operation, the oil pump may fail to deliver oil or deliver insufficient oil, triggering the oil light alarm.

What is the API grade of engine oil?

API engine oil is divided into three categories. The following is the relevant content introduction: 1. The "S" series: Represents oil for gasoline engines, with specifications including: API SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, SM, SN. 2. The "C" series: Represents oil for diesel engines, with specifications including: API CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, CF-2, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4. 3. When both "S" and "C" letters are present, it indicates that the oil is suitable for both gasoline and diesel engines: The meaning of the letters following S or C is: from "SA" to "SN", each increasing letter indicates that the environmental protection level of the oil is better than the previous one. The further back the letter, the higher the environmental protection level. In international brands, most engine oil levels are above SF, and currently, the highest environmental protection level of engine oil is "SN" grade.

What Causes Idle Vibration When the Air Conditioning is On in a Honda?

There are two main reasons why the Honda CR-V experiences idle vibration when the air conditioning is turned on: one is a load sensor issue, and the other is engine mount damage. 1. Engine: Normally, the engine vibrates during operation, including after starting the compressor, but the engine mounts filter out some of this vibration, making it less noticeable to us. The engine mount is located between the body and the engine and is part of the car's engine shock absorption system. If the engine mount collapses or is damaged, the engine's balance will be disrupted, and turning on the compressor may reach the resonance frequency, intensifying the vibration. 2. Load Sensor: Idle is the state where the engine runs at its lowest speed without any additional load. Turning on the air conditioning increases the load. The engine load sensor detects this increase and sends the signal to the engine control unit (ECU), which then commands the engine to increase its speed to handle the additional load. The engine automatically increases the throttle opening to allow more air intake, thereby boosting power output. If the throttle is not maintained for a long time, carbon deposits can easily form. These deposits can obstruct the engine's air intake, making it difficult or barely sufficient for the engine to drive the compressor, resulting in idle vibration.

What are the types of locomotives?

Locomotives are divided into thermal locomotives and electric locomotives. The following is an introduction to these two types of locomotives: 1. Thermal locomotives: The installed prime mover belongs to a heat engine, such as steam locomotives, diesel locomotives, and gas turbine locomotives. These locomotives carry fuel and water, making them self-powered and capable of independent operation. As long as there are suitable tracks and facilities for refueling and water supply, they can operate. However, the weight and dimensions of the locomotive are constrained by axle load and railway clearance limits, preventing them from being too heavy or large. Consequently, the weight and size of the power unit installed in the locomotive are also constrained. 2. Electric locomotives: This type of locomotive receives power from an external power station, which is transmitted to substations along the railway, and then supplied via overhead contact lines or a third rail installed beside the tracks. The power supply capacity is not limited by rated power, giving it advantages such as high power, strong short-term overload capability, high operating speed, rapid acceleration, strong traction force, and no smoke or exhaust pollution. It is suitable for busy transportation routes or railways with steep gradients and long tunnels, especially for suburban transport in large cities and underground railway transport.
