An automatic transmission fuel consumption of 8 liters is considered low for a 2.0L engine; for a 1.5L or 1.6L engine, it is normal but not particularly fuel-efficient. Below is an introduction to fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption and engine displacement: Although fuel consumption is related to engine displacement, this relationship is not absolute. A larger cylinder volume (displacement) can hold more combustible mixture (air-fuel), so under otherwise identical conditions, an engine with a larger cylinder volume (displacement) will inevitably have higher fuel consumption. 2. Methods to save fuel: (1) Maintain good driving habits: Different driving habits can affect a car's fuel consumption. During driving, frequent rapid acceleration or deceleration can increase fuel consumption by 5%-10% compared to normal conditions. (2) Shift gears frequently: Switch to different gears according to different road conditions. For example, when going uphill, if you do not switch to L gear or low gear, the car's fuel consumption will increase.

What does the 'W' on car tires mean?

Car tire 'W' refers to the speed rating, which indicates the maximum speed a tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. 'W' signifies that the tire's maximum speed is 270 kilometers per hour. Below is more information about car tires: 1. Car tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they help absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road, improve the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bear the weight of the car. The critical role tires play in vehicles is increasingly recognized. 2. During tire usage, tire pressure is a crucial indicator. It must match the manufacturer's recommended pressure. Otherwise, whether the pressure is too high or too low, it can significantly damage the tire's lifespan. Overinflated tires cause the central tread to wear faster than the sides. Additionally, excessive tire pressure reduces the contact area with the road. When accelerating, parts of the tire lifting off and returning to the ground may deform due to acceleration, leading to a wave-like phenomenon. This not only increases rolling resistance, affecting acceleration performance, but also causes steering wheel vibration and misalignment. Overinflation makes tires more susceptible to punctures from sharp objects like nails or glass, increasing the risk of blowouts. Excessive pressure also reduces ride comfort, as the tire absorbs less vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components.

What's the reason for not being able to shift gears?

The reasons for not being able to shift gears: 1. The clutch is not fully depressed: For manual transmission vehicles, some models require the clutch pedal to be fully depressed to engage the gear. Simply pressing the clutch pedal deeper can solve this issue; 2. Transmission malfunction: If the vehicle's transmission is problematic, it is recommended to have it inspected at a 4S shop; 3. Gear teeth alignment: Many vehicles' reverse gears are not equipped with synchronizers. Therefore, when attempting to engage reverse, the teeth of two gears might align precisely, causing the gear to get stuck and preventing reverse engagement. In this case, simply shift into a forward gear again, then try engaging reverse once more.

How to deal with the Corolla seat belt not retracting?

Corolla seat belt not retracting is caused by a faulty retraction spring inside the seat belt, replacing the seat belt will solve the issue. Here is an introduction to the function of seat belts: 1. The seat belt is designed to restrain passengers during a collision and prevent secondary collisions between passengers and the steering wheel, dashboard, etc. 2. The car seat belt, also known as a seat safety belt, is a type of passenger restraint device. 3. The seat belt is the cheapest and most effective safety device. Here are precautions for using seat belts: 1. Regularly check the technical condition of the seat belt; replace it immediately if damaged. 2. The seat belt should be fastened across the hips and chest, forming a horizontally placed V-shape over the pelvis and ribcage. It should be used by one person only; sharing is strictly prohibited. Do not twist the seat belt when using it. 3. When using the seat belt, avoid placing it over hard or fragile objects. 4. When the seat is unoccupied, retract the seat belt into the retractor and place the buckle in the storage position to prevent the buckle from hitting other objects during emergency braking. 5. Do not tilt the seat back too much, as it may affect the effectiveness of the seat belt. Ensure the buckle is securely fastened to prevent it from coming loose under external force and failing to provide protection.

What Happens If You Put the Wrong Fuel in Your Car?

Hazards of using the wrong fuel in a car: 1. Using a lower octane fuel than required: The car may experience insufficient power and higher fuel consumption, but as long as it's not used long-term, it won't cause significant damage. Conversely, using a higher octane fuel than required generally has no adverse effects. 2. Adding gasoline to a diesel vehicle: The car may start, but due to incomplete combustion of gasoline, it will gradually lose power while driving, leading to shaking and white smoke. In such cases, the fuel system must be thoroughly cleaned. 3. Adding diesel to a gasoline vehicle: The vehicle won't start. Diesel has a lower ignition point, and while gasoline ignites via spark, diesel ignites under compression. The spark plugs may cause diesel to ignite prematurely, leading to knocking, engine damage, black smoke, vehicle shaking, and failure to start. In severe cases, the engine may be damaged. In such situations, contact a repair shop to clean the fuel system.
