When I drive my Santana, I find the fuel filler cap operation particularly convenient. It's located above the floor on the left side of the driver's seat, at the lower left corner of the dashboard. Just lean slightly to the left and press down with your index finger—you'll hear a distinct click, and the fuel filler cap will pop open. The outer metal cover will spring out a few centimeters, and you can simply unscrew the inner cap by hand. Remember to regularly clean dust and sand particles from the gaps around the inner cap, as they might affect the seal and cause unusual noises. Once, a friend drove my car to refuel and spent a long time figuring out how to open it—turns out a drink bottle had rolled over and jammed the switch. Small accidents like this are worth paying attention to.

How do traffic police handle additional lighting installations?

For the act of modifying the original vehicle headlights, it will be treated as illegal modification of lighting equipment, resulting in a penalty of 3 demerit points and a fine of 200 yuan. Additionally, the modified headlights must not be excessively bright. If the headlight beams are too intense, causing the electronic surveillance system to fail to recognize the license plate, it will be penalized as obscuring the license plate with a fine of 200 yuan and 12 demerit points. If you want to modify the headlights without being penalized by traffic police, you only need to meet the following requirements: 1. The modified headlights must be equipped with lenses to avoid glare. 2. The low beam must not be less than 1050 lumens, and the high beam must not be less than 1450 lumens. 3. The color temperature must not exceed 6000K. After meeting the above requirements, not only will you avoid penalties from traffic police, but you can also pass the annual inspection smoothly. However, modifying LED headlights must be done at a professional 4S store, as the lighting system is connected to the vehicle's electrical circuit, and any negligence could lead to serious consequences. Therefore, caution is essential.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Braking at Low Speed in a Sedan?

The causes of abnormal noise when braking at low speed in a sedan are as follows: 1. Generally, faults in the caliper, brake disc, or brake pads can produce this abnormal noise. If the noise persists, the first thing to check is whether there is any dragging brake. Poor caliper reset can cause prolonged friction between the disc and the pad, which may produce abnormal noise under certain conditions. 2. If the noise occurs immediately after installing new pads, it may be due to inconsistent sizes between the new pads and the friction blocks, or it could be normal noise during the break-in period of new brake pads. New brake pads and discs require a break-in process. When braking, if it happens to grind against a hard spot on the brake pad (due to the material of the brake pad), this type of noise will occur. 3. When there are sand or gravel particles stuck between the brake pads and the brake disc, this type of noise can also occur. 4. Severe wear of the brake pads can also cause abnormal noise, which is a signal to the owner to replace the brake pads.

How many kilometers can a car still drive when the fuel gauge light comes on?

When the fuel gauge alarm goes off, the car can generally run for at least 50 kilometers. Below are specific details about the car fuel tank capacity: 1. The fuel gauge on the dashboard has 5-6 segments, with each segment representing the remaining fuel capacity in the tank. Typically, it's advisable to refuel when the fuel gauge shows only two segments remaining. 2. The calculation unit for fuel tank capacity follows international standards, using L (liters) as the unit of measurement. Different countries have their own standards for car fuel tank capacity. 3. Generally, small cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while medium-sized cars have a capacity of about 55-75 liters. A full tank usually allows the car to travel approximately 500 kilometers. Depending on the car's displacement, lighter cars with smaller displacements have correspondingly smaller fuel tank capacities, whereas heavier cars with larger displacements have larger fuel tank capacities.
