What do the different gears in a Volkswagen automatic transmission represent?

Volkswagen automatic transmission gears represent forward, park, reverse, and parking. Below is a detailed introduction to the automatic transmission gears: P gear: Parking gear, used when parking. D gear: Drive gear, but currently most are manual-automatic transmissions. After shifting to D gear, you still need to move forward (up) or backward (down) or left and right to operate the manual mode or S gear sport mode. It is neither reasonable nor convenient in the middle position, and the final position is more reasonable. R gear: Reverse gear. If it is swapped with N gear, which is the neutral gear, being adjacent makes it easy to accidentally shift to the drive gear, which can lead to traffic accidents or damage the transmission. Therefore, the N gear is used as a separator in the middle, and it is also convenient to shift to neutral when parking, for waiting at red lights or brief stops. N gear: Neutral gear, with reverse gear above and drive gear below, allowing smooth shifting up and down.

P gear is for parking. Engage it when the car is completely stopped to lock the wheels and prevent rolling. R gear is reverse gear; ensure the car is fully stopped before shifting to avoid damaging the transmission with a clunk. N gear is neutral, disengaging power transmission, suitable for brief stops like at red lights—shifting to N and braking reduces fatigue. D gear is drive mode, used for daily driving with smooth automatic shifting. S gear is sport mode; switch to it at high speeds for quicker shifts, higher RPMs, stronger acceleration, and easier overtaking. In manual mode, use the +/- buttons or paddles to shift gears, simulating a manual car—downshifting uphill provides more power, while downshifting downhill helps control speed and saves brakes. Having studied car mechanics, I know these designs balance safety and efficiency. Always press the brake before shifting to avoid part wear or loss of control. Volkswagen's shifting logic is smart, fuel-efficient, and durable.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Bestune B70?

The 2022 Bestune B70 has 4 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. In the same class, the 2021 Mistra has a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters, the 2021 Borui has a capacity of 70 liters, and the 2022 Trumpchi GA6 has a capacity of 55 liters. 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 safe level, and there is still some space from the safe level to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing from the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated fuel tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel, the owner 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.
