Yes, this is when the fuel gauge light comes on, reminding the owner to refuel in time. Here are specific details about the fuel gauge light: 1. Mileage: There is no uniform standard for how far you can drive after the fuel warning light comes on. Different models have different ranges, but the general theoretical mileage is 40-50 kilometers. 2. Function: The fuel gauge light is one of the indispensable and important components in a car, mainly used to monitor the remaining amount of gasoline in the fuel tank. 3. Consequences: Driving until the car runs out of fuel can cause damage to the vehicle, potentially harming the fuel pump. Generally, when the fuel pump is exposed above the fuel level, the fuel gauge light will alert you. This is because the fuel pump cools itself while operating, relying on the fuel in the tank. Therefore, when the fuel level in the tank continuously drops to a certain point, it can damage the fuel pump and reduce its service life.

I've been driving for almost ten years and encountered all sorts of situations. Refueling when there's only one bar left is completely fine, but I sincerely advise against waiting until it's that low. When the fuel gauge shows one bar remaining, it usually means the fuel level is critically low, around 15%, and you might still have a few dozen kilometers left. However, if you encounter traffic jams or long-distance driving, the risk increases significantly. The fuel pump relies on gasoline for cooling, and when the fuel level is too low, it can overheat. Consistently running on low fuel can lead to component damage, and the repair costs can be hefty. I remember once almost stalling on the highway with just one bar left—a painful lesson. It's safer and more convenient to refuel when there are two or three bars left. Don't gamble with luck. The low-fuel warning in cars is designed to remind you to refuel in time. Developing the habit of refueling early is better for your car and less stressful for you.

What is the reason for the Emgrand key not being detected after replacing the battery?

There are three reasons why the Geely Emgrand shows 'key not detected' after replacing the battery: the replaced battery is dead, there is interference, or there is an issue with the receiver. Dead battery: If the remote control battery has been used for a long time, it may run out of power. In this case, you can only use the emergency start method by placing the remote close to the one-button start to allow the car to start normally. Interference: If the remote key is too close to a mobile phone, it may sometimes be interfered with by the phone's signal, causing the dashboard to display 'key not detected.' In this situation, simply move the phone away from the key to increase the distance. Receiver issue: If there is damage to components such as the circuit or sensors, the key may not be detected, and the car will need to be taken for repairs.

What are the five oils and three fluids in a car?

In a car, the five oils and three fluids refer to gasoline, engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant, windshield washer fluid, and battery electrolyte. Their functions and filling locations are as follows: 1. Gasoline is the primary liquid in a car, serving as the fuel for the engine and the source of all power in the vehicle; 2. Engine oil is the working medium of the engine lubrication system, providing lubrication and protection for the engine; 3. Transmission fluid functions to lubricate and cool the transmission, and in automatic transmissions, it also serves as the working medium for the control system; 4. Brake fluid is the working medium that transmits braking pressure in the hydraulic braking system; 5. Power steering fluid is a medium oil added to the power steering system, playing a role in transmitting steering force and providing cushioning; 6. Coolant is the working medium of the engine cooling system, offering functions such as antifreeze, anti-boil, anti-corrosion, anti-scale, and lubrication of cooling system components; 7. Windshield washer fluid provides cleaning, antifreeze, anti-fog, anti-static, lubrication, and anti-corrosion effects; 8. Battery electrolyte, also known as battery fluid, is added to the battery to react with the battery plates for charging and discharging.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Viano in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Viano-2015 3.0L Partner Edition is 75L. It is equipped with a 3.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed automatic manual transmission (AT). The drivetrain is front-engine, rear-wheel drive. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a semi-trailing arm independent suspension. In the same class, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class-2021 V260 Pilot Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 70L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the automaker is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, and there is still some space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is near F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.

The GLK is characterized by sharp, straight lines throughout, with no obvious curves to complement them. Interior Design: The interior follows a predominantly straight-line theme, accented with metal panels, achieving a good balance between technological and sporty feels. The color scheme of dark upper and light lower sections adds a touch of warmth to the dynamic interior. Many aspects of the style and design are inspired by the C-Class sedan. Powertrain Configuration: It is equipped with two engine options: 3.0L and 3.5L. The entry-level GLK300 features a V6 engine, the same power source as the C280 model, delivering a maximum power of 170kW and a maximum torque of 300N·m. During normal use, the 7-speed manual/automatic 7G-tronic transmission manages the power output, keeping the engine speed rarely exceeding 3000r/min. However, when rapid acceleration is needed for overtaking, the transmission will downshift several gears for an instant boost.
