The Kia K2 transmission is an AT, specifically a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. The manual shift mode is essentially a traditional AT or CVT transmission with added manual shifting functionality. The purpose of the manual shift mode is to enhance the driving pleasure of automatic transmission vehicles. The Kia K2 transmission is a Hyundai brand product, manufactured by the Hyundai Kia Automotive Group. The Hyundai Kia Automotive Group is effectively represented by Hyundai Motor Company, with its predecessor being the Hyundai Motor Group. The Hyundai Kia Automotive Group is the world's fifth-largest automobile manufacturer by production volume. When using the Kia K2 transmission in daily driving, the following points should be noted: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can lead to damage to internal components such as bearings and the transmission casing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can cause the transmission to overheat and may result in a noticeable jolt when shifting back to D (Drive) mode. Never shift into D (Drive) or R (Reverse) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers, aiming to demonstrate smooth operation, may shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can cause significant damage to the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding and other malfunctions. Avoid frequently using D (Drive) mode for steep uphill climbs. When navigating steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or may upshift prematurely, resulting in insufficient power for the climb. In such cases, using manual mode to lock in a lower gear or switching to sport mode can help protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in N (Neutral) mode, rather than being towed directly with a tow rope or similar method.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Kia K4?

The fuel tank capacity of the Kia K4 is 62 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Kia K4 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Kia K4 requires 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 6.6 to 7.5L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of approximately 827 to 939 kilometers. 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 vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately displayed on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified fuel tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level. There is additional space between the safe fill level and the tank opening to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity.

Should Mazda CX-4 use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

Both 92 and 95 octane gasoline are acceptable. The manufacturer of Mazda CX-4 recommends using 92 octane or higher. 95 octane fuel has better anti-knock performance. It's important to note that if the vehicle requires high-octane fuel but accidentally uses lower-octane fuel, the engine may experience knocking, reduced power, and increased water temperature. Differences between 92 and 95 octane gasoline: 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. 95 octane gasoline has advantages in power and fuel consumption compared to 92 octane gasoline because it has a higher isooctane content. How to choose gasoline for your car: For a compression ratio of 7.5-8.0, use 90-93 octane gasoline; for 8.0-8.5, use 90-93 octane gasoline; for 8.5-9.0, use 93-95 octane gasoline; and for 9.5-10.0, use 95-97 octane gasoline.
