Frequent car washing is not beneficial for vehicles, as this practice can cause damage to both the car paint and air conditioning system, while also accelerating the deterioration of rubber seals. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid excessive car washing during routine vehicle use. Damage to car paint: Currently, car wash staff often use high-pressure water jets directly on the vehicle's paint surface, which can harm the outermost glossy layer. With increased washing frequency, the paint gradually thins, eventually causing the car to lose its luster. Additionally, when washing the car yourself, failing to change the water regularly can result in grit accumulation in the wash water, leading to paint scratches. Damage to air conditioning: During car washing, it is crucial to ensure that the air conditioning system remains dry. If accidentally wet, the car's air conditioning lifespan may be negatively affected. Accelerated rubber seal deterioration: In humid weather, moisture on the car body often fails to evaporate completely. Consequently, dust easily accumulates in the car's crevices or on rubber seals, worsening their deterioration and increasing noise generation.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2016 Teana?

The fuel tank capacity of the 2016 Teana is 70 liters, as officially announced. Owners of the 2016 Teana can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2016 Teana requires 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 7.2L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 972km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the car. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the fuel level. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening, designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
