The reasons for the fuel gauge not displaying on the dashboard include a faulty fuel level sensor, computer signal failure, or instrument cluster damage. After turning off the ignition and locking the vehicle: Wait for ten minutes, then turn the ignition back on to see if the fuel level is displayed. If it still doesn't display, the fuel level sensor, computer signal, and instrument cluster may need to be replaced: Check if the fuel level sensor and ignition wiring are functioning properly. If the fuel level sensor is working correctly, inspect the wiring. The fuel gauge detects the fuel level through the sensor, and the car's fuel gauge is used to indicate the amount of fuel in the tank. The low fuel warning device activates when the fuel level falls below a certain threshold to alert the driver. Fuel gauges can be either analog (pointer type) or digital.

How Many Kilometers Can One Kilowatt-Hour Drive?

Under normal circumstances, in the NEDC comprehensive driving cycle, new energy vehicles can generally travel between 5 to 8 kilometers per kilowatt-hour, depending on the energy consumption performance of different electric vehicles. However, according to the law of energy conservation, the larger the curb weight, the higher the energy consumption per 100 kilometers will be, meaning the distance that one kilowatt-hour can drive will decrease. Related introduction to new energy vehicles: 1. Definition: New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new types of onboard power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. 2. Classification: New energy vehicles include four major types: hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV, including solar-powered vehicles), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), and other new energy vehicles (such as those using supercapacitors, flywheels, and other high-efficiency energy storage devices).

Why Can't the Car Door Be Opened with the Key?

The reasons why the car key cannot open the door are as follows: 1. The remote key may be out of power: Remote keys use button batteries, which may not be available in convenience stores. If there are auto parts markets or 4S stores nearby, these places will definitely sell them. Car owners can buy more online for emergency use. 2. The remote key is interfered with by signals: Signal interference with the key is relatively rare. If the key battery is confirmed to have power, it can be judged as signal interference. 3. Failure of the connection device between the door handle and the door lock itself: This situation leading to the door not opening is a type of fault, and the possibility of the car owner solving it on their own is very small. The door connection mechanism may fall off due to driving bumps, and the door lock cannot sense the action of pulling the door handle. 4. The door is frozen and cannot be opened in winter: If the door lock, door handle, or door frame area is frozen in winter, the door cannot be opened with the key. Note that if the door is frozen, do not pull it violently, as this can easily damage the door.

What Causes a New Energy Vehicle to Suddenly Lose Power While Driving Normally?

Possible reasons are as follows: poor contact between the battery power output plug and socket; failure of the speed control handle; power signal system failure. The following are detailed explanations of the specific causes: 1. Poor contact between the battery power output plug and socket: This is usually caused by wear and oxidation over time, leading to poor internal circuit contact. 2. Failure of the speed control handle: This is generally due to poor contact among the three wires inside the speed control handle, typically red, gray, and black, or red, green, and black. The gray or green wire is the output signal wire of the handle. It is best to cut off the middle connector of the speed control handle wiring, reconnect according to the color difference, and then wrap it with insulating tape for safety. 3. Power signal system failure: If the electric vehicle is highly intelligent, it may also experience power loss. This mainly manifests as damage to the ignition lock or poor contact between the controller and the ignition lock signal wire. The simplest solution is to enable the keyless function.

What are the differences between domestically produced and imported cars?

The differences between domestically produced and imported cars are as follows: 1. Firstly, imported cars are divided into two types: regular imported cars and parallel imported cars. Simply put, regular imported cars are those purchased through 4S stores, while parallel imported cars are those directly imported from the product's country of origin by importers other than the domestic general distributor. 2. In terms of price: domestically produced cars are the cheapest; followed by parallel imported cars; the most expensive are regular imported cars. This is because parallel imported cars can bypass the general distributor, eliminating middlemen, which naturally lowers the price significantly. 3. In terms of models: through parallel imports, you can purchase models that are not available as domestically produced or regular imported cars. Additionally, depending on the import region, they are further classified into "U.S. specification cars," "European specification cars," etc. 4. In terms of subsequent car usage and after-sales services, domestically produced cars are the most convenient and worry-free; followed by regular imported cars; the worst are parallel imported cars. Parallel imported cars do not come with a warranty, requiring owners to purchase insurance themselves, and many 4S stores do not provide maintenance services for them.
