A fuel consumption of 10L per 100 kilometers in urban areas is normal. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Maintain proper tire pressure: The normal tire pressure range is generally between 2.3-2.5 bar. If the tire pressure is lower than this value, the contact area between the tire tread and the ground increases, resulting in greater frictional resistance, which naturally leads to higher fuel consumption. 2. Regular vehicle maintenance: Timely maintenance ensures the lubrication effect of engine oil on the powertrain system, helps detect vehicle issues promptly, and reduces carbon deposits, which naturally assists in lowering vehicle fuel consumption.

Where is the air filter of Patrol located?

The air filter of Patrol is located inside the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat, which can be seen after opening the glove compartment. The functions of the air filter are: 1. To ensure clean air in the cabin without breeding bacteria, creating a healthy environment; 2. To effectively separate solid impurities in the air such as dust, powder, and grinding particles; 3. To effectively intercept pollen, ensuring that drivers and passengers do not have allergic reactions that affect driving safety. The body dimensions of Patrol are: length 5165mm, width 1995mm, height 1955mm, wheelbase 3075mm, fuel tank capacity 100l, minimum ground clearance 273mm, and the body structure is a 5-door 7-seat SUV.

Can a car still be driven if water gets into the engine oil?

If water gets into the engine oil, the car should not be driven. Continuing to drive may lead to the following consequences: 1. The air filter may take in water, causing the engine to inhale air and form water vapor in the intake tract; 2. A small amount of water entering the engine cylinders may mix with the engine oil, degrading the oil quality. Engine oil containing water can increase wear on engine components, leading to louder engine noise and greater vibration while driving. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, is composed of base oil and additives. Its functions include: 1. Lubrication; 2. Assisting in cooling; 3. Cleaning; 4. Sealing and leak prevention; 5. Rust and corrosion prevention; 6. Shock absorption and cushioning, as well as anti-wear properties.

How to Solve Frequent Overheating in Cars?

The solutions for frequent car overheating are: 1. Open the radiator cap, start the engine, and observe if there is any rolling phenomenon in the water inside the radiator; 2. Remove the thermostat and inspect it; 3. Check if the radiator surface is blocked; 4. Inspect the fan belt to see if the tension is normal. The reasons for frequent car overheating are: 1. The fan motor is not working or the fan clutch is faulty; 2. The catalytic converter is blocked or the pipe is broken; 3. The pipes in the cooling system are broken; 4. Long-term use of the water pump leads to high wear, causing parts to wear and fall off; 5. The radiator cap pressure is unstable, causing the spring to loosen and the cap mouth to fail to close tightly.

How is the vehicle transfer fee calculated?

New fee standards now calculate transfer fees based on engine displacement and vehicle age. Different fee standards apply depending on vehicle types (sedans, SUVs, buses, trucks, etc.), displacement ranges, load capacity ranges, and other categories. The new fee standard primarily uses a weighted average of the vehicle's normal service years' distribution values, then progressively decreases from the highest threshold to the lowest standard. Documents required for vehicle transfer: 1. Original and photocopy of seller's ID card; 2. Original and photocopy of buyer's ID card; 3. Original and photocopy of vehicle's original purchase invoice or last transfer invoice; 4. Original and photocopy of vehicle registration certificate; 5. Original and photocopy of vehicle license; 6. Physical presence of the vehicle; 7. Used vehicle sales contract.

How Long Can China V Trucks Be Driven?

China V vehicles will not face environmental traffic restrictions or mandatory scrapping for at least ten years. According to the "Light-Duty Vehicle Pollutant Emission Limits and Measurement Methods (China Phase 6)" released by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, domestic vehicles will continue to be inspected under the China V standard until July 1, 2025. Below is an introduction to the China V standard: 1. Nature: The "China V Standard" is the fifth-stage national motor vehicle pollutant emission standard. Its emission control level is equivalent to the European Union’s current Phase 5 emission standards, imposing stricter limits on nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) emitted by vehicles. 2. Effect: Compared to the China IV standard, the new standard reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by 25% for light-duty vehicles and 43% for heavy-duty vehicles.

What are the common problems for novice drivers?

Common problems for novice drivers include: 1. Failure to anticipate in advance: Many new drivers cannot promptly anticipate changes in traffic conditions such as terrain, pedestrians, and vehicles, and take measures to avoid potential complex situations. They often resort to emergency braking only when absolutely necessary. This practice not only damages vehicle components but also significantly increases the risk of losing control of the vehicle, leading to rollovers or collisions, especially on icy or muddy roads. 2. Seating posture issues: Sitting too far forward increases the range of motion required to observe rearview mirrors, leading to delayed reactions. An overly forward seating posture also causes physical tension, stiff movements, and easy fatigue. In the event of a frontal collision, a forward seating posture increases the likelihood of injury to the driver.
