Fuel tank sensor failure requires replacement of a new unit. A malfunctioning fuel level sensor can cause the car's fuel gauge to fail, with specific manifestations including: 1. Erratic fuel gauge needle movement; 2. Sudden drop of fuel gauge reading to zero; 3. Abnormal rise in fuel gauge reading; 4. The fuel level sensor operates by detecting changes in capacitance between the sensor housing and sensing electrode when fuel enters the container, converting this variation into current changes to determine fuel position. Capacitive fuel tank sensors are specialized instruments designed for precise fuel level measurement in railway locomotives, automotive fuel tanks, tank trucks, and oil depots.

What is the French DS car?

French cars have often played a pioneering role in China's automotive industry, with Citroën as a representative, and the high-end model DS leading the trend. Here is relevant information about DS: 1. Hydropneumatic Suspension System: DS was the first car to use a hydropneumatic suspension system. Before this, people used springs for car shock absorption designs. This created a dilemma where a car's sportiness and comfort could not be balanced. With this groundbreaking technology, DS provided a feasible solution to this problem. 2. Transmission and Clutch: When the brake button is pressed, the engine speed is adjusted below the clutch engagement speed through brake hydraulic and circuit devices. This method prevents unnecessary gear wear when encountering a red light. When braking is released, the engine idle speed increases, engaging the clutch, allowing the car to move forward normally. In an era when most cars could only be equipped with fully manual transmissions, this design was undoubtedly full of fun and convenience.

Models with 17-inch wheels: The minimum ground clearance is 188mm, the approach angle is 17.2°, and the departure angle is 25°. Relevant information about ground clearance is as follows: 1. Ground clearance: Refers to the distance between the ground and the rigid objects at the bottom of the vehicle. 2. Influencing factors: Ground clearance is related to the vehicle's load; the heavier the load, the smaller the ground clearance. Since professional equipment and absolutely identical objective conditions are not used, the measured values may have some deviation from the official data (objective factors include ground flatness, tire pressure, fuel level, etc.).
