A curb weight of 1490kg means the empty weight of the vehicle when it leaves the factory is 1490kg. Curb weight includes various tools, parts, and fluids added to the vehicle, and is the weight of the vehicle without passengers. Curb weight is not the total weight of the vehicle. Below are some related explanations: 1. The total weight of a vehicle includes the curb weight, the weight of the driver and passengers, and the weight of any luggage carried in the vehicle. These weights combined make up the total weight of the vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with other accessories, their weight should also be included. 2. Generally speaking, for the same model, the more advanced the production process, the more optimized the design method, and the higher the level of industrialization, the lower the curb weight. Of course, this is on the premise that the various performances of the vehicle, especially safety performance, are guaranteed. The specific reason is that the use of high-strength steel and metal materials requires the factory to have sufficiently advanced processing technology. The more high-strength steel is used, the lower the total weight of the vehicle.

How Many Liters of Fuel Does the Honda City Need?

Honda City requires 35 to 40 liters of fuel. Precautions for refueling include: 1. Choose to refuel when the temperature is relatively low; 2. If the car is not used for a long time or used infrequently, maintain a small amount of fuel; 3. Do not refuel when a tanker truck is unloading fuel; 4. Turn off the engine when refueling a gasoline car; 5. Do not mix gasoline of different grades. Taking the 2019 Honda City as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of: length 4450mm, width 1695mm, height 1477mm, wheelbase 2600mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 40 liters.

Why are there scratches on the car window tint film?

Scratches on the glass are definitely caused during the reapplication of the film. When removing the original car film, adhesive residue may remain on the glass. Some installers may use a knife to scrape directly on the glass, which can easily damage it. Additional information: Functions of solar films: 1. Utilize the physical properties of metals to block heat, reduce fuel consumption, and improve comfort. 2. In modern solar film production technology, aluminum, gold, copper, silver, and other metals are often vacuum-deposited or magnetron-sputtered to create multi-layered, highly insulating metal film layers. The outer shell electrons (free electrons) in metal materials are generally not bound by the nucleus. When irradiated by light waves, the electric field of the light causes the free electrons to absorb the energy of the light, producing oscillations at the same frequency as the light. These oscillations then emit light at the same frequency as the original light, known as light reflection.

How to Solve the Problem of Water and Fog in Taillights?

Solutions for water and fog in taillights: 1. Remove the dust cover of the taillight to allow the water vapor inside to escape quickly, although this method is relatively slow. 2. Turn on the taillight for 30 minutes to increase the internal temperature of the taillight, speeding up the evaporation of small water droplets inside. 3. Use an air gun to blow air into the taillight, promoting air circulation inside, which can accelerate defogging and dehumidification. Note that the air gun must be treated to remove moisture. Below are precautions for water in taillights: 2. After handling, reinstall the dust cover of the taillight to its original position, or wrap several layers of raw tape around the threads of the lamp cover to enhance the sealing effect. 3. When washing the car or taking it to a car wash, avoid directly spraying the taillight vents with a water gun. In fact, water ingress and fogging in car lights are influenced by various factors, but ultimately, they are determined by the structure of the car light, the temperature field inside the light, the flow field, and other factors.

What is the urban fuel consumption of the Audi A6L?

Audi A6L's urban fuel consumption is 8.0L/100km. Below are the specific reasons for high car fuel consumption: 1. Affected by temperature: It leads to fluctuations in fuel consumption. In winter when the temperature is low, fuel consumption tends to increase. 2. Vehicle not serviced for a long time: Dirty engine oil and air filters can also cause increased fuel consumption. Dirty engine oil leads to poor lubrication, increasing the resistance of various moving parts in the engine, requiring more energy to overcome the resistance, thus increasing fuel consumption. 3. Insufficient tire pressure: Insufficient tire pressure increases the contact area between the tires and the ground, leading to greater friction, i.e., increased driving resistance, which raises fuel consumption. 4. Excessive carbon buildup in the vehicle: Carbon buildup can occur in the throttle body, fuel injectors, intake manifold, and piston top. Excessive carbon buildup in any of these areas can lead to incomplete combustion, thereby increasing fuel consumption.

What is the real fuel consumption of the CRV 1.5T?

CRV 1.5T real fuel consumption is 6.2-6.7L/100km. Actual fuel consumption is related to driving habits, techniques, road conditions, climate, etc. Driving test data shows that the real urban fuel consumption can reach 7.5-8.5 liters/100km. Here is some information about the CRV: 1. Powertrain: It is equipped with a newly developed 2.0L double overhead camshaft i-VTEC engine from Honda, representing the latest technology from Honda. The maximum power is 110kW/6500rpm, and the maximum torque is 190N·m/4000rpm. While its power and off-road capabilities are not as strong as those of pure off-road vehicles, as a multi-purpose urban vehicle, its comfort and practicality are unmatched by off-road vehicles. 2. Design: The CRV places the handbrake on the left side of the center console, known as the column-mounted design, which not only makes operation more convenient but also provides more spacious front-row seating.
