The solutions when a car runs out of gas halfway are: 1. Seek help from the insurance company; 2. If you have an oil pipe, you can borrow fuel from passing vehicles; 3. Call a towing service. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through fractionation, cracking, or pyrolysis, which can be used as fuel. Its appearance is a transparent liquid, mainly composed of aliphatic hydrocarbons, naphthenic hydrocarbons, and a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. The precautions for refueling are: 1. Refuel in the morning or evening when the temperature is relatively low, as the same volume of gasoline can have a higher mass; 2. When driving in the city, it is not advisable to fill the tank completely, as it will increase the engine load; 3. Do not wait until the tank is empty to refuel, as too little fuel will reduce the lifespan of the fuel pump.

I've been driving this car for ten years and have run out of gas twice. The first reaction is to pull over and turn on the hazard lights to ensure the safety of yourself and others. Don't stop in the middle lane of the highway; find a wide shoulder, turn off the engine, and exit the vehicle. Stand in a safe area, such as outside the guardrail. Call roadside assistance or your insurance company, as they often provide free towing services. I always keep a small gas can with some fuel in the car, so if I run out, I can temporarily add some to make it to the gas station. Make it a habit not to wait until the fuel gauge is red before refueling, and set up your phone's navigation to remind you of nearby gas stations. Prevention is better than cure, so learn more about car condition monitoring apps and download one to help you avoid such embarrassing situations.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2008 Nissan Livina in liters?

The 2008 Nissan Livina requires 52 liters to fill up the fuel tank. Methods to check the capacity: Refer to the owner's manual, which provides detailed information about the vehicle, including maintenance intervals and fuel tank capacity. Owners can use this information for refueling, and it is advisable not to exceed the safe capacity. Experienced drivers can estimate based on their refueling experience, knowing the precautions and how much fuel to add—slightly more than the safe capacity but less than the actual capacity, avoiding overfilling to the tank opening and preventing other issues. The fuel gauge warning light can also be used as a reference, though it has some inaccuracies. The displayed capacity varies depending on road and driving conditions, so it should only serve as a general indicator. However, when the warning light comes on, it usually means the fuel is running low, and the owner should take note. Methods to check the remaining fuel: Check the fuel gauge, which indicates the amount of fuel left in the tank. It can be a pointer or a digital display. The fuel level warning alerts the driver when the fuel drops below a certain threshold.

What does autonomous emergency braking mean?

Autonomous emergency braking refers to a technology where the vehicle can actively generate braking effect to decelerate when encountering sudden hazardous situations during normal driving (without adaptive cruise control), thereby improving driving safety. The active safety system refers to a safety system including ABS and ESP electronic devices. When the preceding vehicle brakes, stops, or encounters other obstacles, the system automatically increases braking force to help the driver shorten the braking distance before taking action. The function of braking is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a stop. Its working principle involves converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between brake pads and brake drums, as well as between tires and the ground, thereby decelerating or stopping the car.
