The oil dipstick is generally located next to the engine. To put it back, simply insert it directly and push it all the way in. Below are the relevant steps for reinserting the oil dipstick: 1. When checking the oil, ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and the side stand is deployed. After starting the engine, wait for two to three minutes, then unscrew the dipstick, wipe off the oil residue, and reinsert it without tightening. Some dipsticks are located on top, while others are on the side. 2. The oil dipstick has a distinct feature—a pull ring—making it easy to identify. To use it, pull out the dipstick with a towel (or soft paper), wipe it clean, then reinsert it into the dipstick slot of the engine until it is fully seated.

How many kilometers can you drive when the car fuel light comes on?

When the fuel gauge light comes on, there are still 5-10 liters of fuel left in the car, which varies slightly depending on the displacement and fuel tank size of each model, as indicated in the vehicle's manual. For more details, see below: Can drive about thirty kilometers: Knowing the remaining fuel, you can roughly calculate how many kilometers you can still drive. However, this can vary greatly depending on driving conditions, driving skills, etc. Based on experience, no matter what car it is, when the fuel gauge light comes on, you can generally drive about thirty kilometers. Suggestions when the fuel gauge light comes on: Reduce braking and avoid driving at low speeds: Braking itself does not consume much fuel, but slowing down and then speeding up again consumes a lot of fuel. Driving at very low speeds is similar to idling. When idling, the vehicle consumes a significant amount of fuel. Turn off the navigation, radio, music, air conditioning, etc. These appliances have high power consumption and can affect the vehicle's fuel efficiency.

How to Turn on the Fog Lights on a Santana?

To turn on the fog lights on a Santana, you need to first activate the vehicle's lighting system by turning on the position lights. Then, locate the fog light symbol on the lighting control lever and rotate the control ring. Align the front fog light symbol with the activation point, and the dashboard will display the front fog light indicator, indicating that the front fog lights are on. Here is some information about fog lights: 1. Fog lights, generally referring to automotive fog lights, are installed at the front and rear of the vehicle. They are used because visibility is low in foggy conditions, limiting the driver's line of sight. 2. Front fog lights are mounted slightly lower than the headlights at the front of the car and are used to illuminate the road during rainy or foggy weather. Due to reduced visibility in fog, the driver's vision is restricted. Fog lights can increase the visibility distance, especially yellow anti-fog lights, which have strong light penetration. They enhance the visibility for the driver and other road users, allowing approaching vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a greater distance.

What lights to use when passing through an intersection ahead?

When driving straight through an intersection with traffic signals ahead, simply use the low beam. If passing through an intersection without traffic signals, you should alternately switch between high and low beams more than twice, slow down in advance, and use the alternating high and low beams to signal while closely monitoring the traffic conditions ahead. Here are the specific details: When overtaking: When overtaking at night, turn on the turn signal in advance and observe the vehicles behind. If the following vehicle is too close, it is not advisable to signal and overtake, as this may easily catch the following vehicle off guard. When changing lanes: To prevent the vehicle ahead from changing lanes during overtaking, it is essential to alert the other driver by honking or quickly switching between high and low beams. Observe the vehicle ahead; if there is no intention to change lanes, you can then accelerate to overtake. If the vehicle ahead turns on the left turn signal, it indicates an emergency situation ahead, making it an unsuitable time to overtake, as the vehicle also needs to change lanes.
