You should refuel when there are two bars of fuel left in the car. Here are some precautions regarding car refueling: 1. Avoid refueling only when the tank is empty: It's best not to wait until the fuel tank is completely empty before refueling, as the fuel pump is immersed in the tank. Running the tank too low can affect the cooling and heat dissipation of the fuel pump. 2. Try not to fill the tank too full: Unless you're going on a long trip, there's no need to fill the tank completely. Fuel is widely available nowadays, and filling the tank to about two-thirds is usually sufficient, allowing you to drive over 300 kilometers. 3. Refuel when the tank is one-quarter full: It's best to refuel when the fuel level drops to one-quarter of the tank capacity. This ensures you have enough fuel to find a gas station, even if it's far away, without worrying about running out of fuel on the way and getting stranded.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Borgward BX5?

The fuel tank capacity of the Borgward BX5 is 60 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Borgward BX5 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Borgward BX5 requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 5.8-7.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 789-1034 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

What should be noted when following the preceding vehicle for a right turn while driving?

When following the preceding vehicle for a right turn while driving, pay attention to: 1. The vehicle ahead may stop to yield to pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles at the intersection; 2. Pedestrians may suddenly enter the crosswalk; 3. The right side is a non-motorized vehicle lane, and there may be non-motorized vehicles proceeding straight within the blind spot. More precautions for following a vehicle are as follows: 1. Be cautious when overtaking: Since large trucks are wider, following them can be dangerous and obstruct your view. Therefore, many drivers choose to overtake. When overtaking, ensure no other vehicles are attempting to overtake simultaneously. If there are, slow down and wait for them to complete the maneuver before accelerating to overtake. When shifting gears, pay attention to your speed. Speeds on highways are generally high, so accidents can be more severe with lower survival rates. 2. Be careful on slopes: Slopes inherently present challenges, and visibility can be obstructed. When going uphill, you may not see oncoming traffic. Therefore, on slopes, stay alert and watch for potential hazards. Prevent rolling back by using the handbrake when stopping and signal to the vehicle behind. Honk to alert oncoming traffic. When going uphill, you can increase throttle but must control your speed. When going downhill, always reduce speed.

How to reset the tire pressure warning on Volkswagen Golf?

The tire pressure reset button for the Volkswagen Phideon is located on the center console of the dashboard, in front of the gear shift lever, marked with a capital SET. Tire pressure reset is an operation to reset the tire pressure monitoring system after addressing tire pressure faults. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, indicating the completion of the tire pressure reset. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: The system typically alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. A tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors the tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving, the tire pressure warning light will illuminate. The only solution for a damaged sensor is to replace it with a new one.

Additional Information: 1. The function of the door opening limiter is to restrict the degree to which the door can open. On one hand, it limits the maximum opening angle of the door, preventing it from opening too wide. On the other hand, it can keep the door open when needed. 2. There are two classification methods for door opening limiters: (1) According to the method of providing limiting force, they can be classified into rubber spring type, metal spring type, and torsion spring type. (2) According to the type of friction, they can be classified into rolling friction type and sliding friction type.
