Please change engine oil immediately is a reminder for car owners to replace the engine oil as soon as possible. When the oil level is insufficient, causing the oil pump to deliver less oil or fail to pump oil due to air intake, the oil pressure will drop. The car will then illuminate the low oil pressure warning light, and the dashboard will display 'Please change engine oil immediately'. Continuing to drive for an extended period under these conditions can damage the engine. Cars usually have an oil dipstick to check the remaining amount of engine oil. During the operation of the car engine, engine oil plays roles such as lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption, thereby reducing friction loss and extending the engine's service life.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the BAIC 212?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the BAIC 212 is 7.5-8.4L/100km. Currently, there are 8 models of the BAIC 212 on sale, including the 2.4T Triangle Door Centennial Tribute Edition, 1.5T Triangle Door Centennial Tribute Edition, Three-door Canvas Top, Square-door Canvas Top, Square-door Hard Top, and Three-door Hard Top, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.8L/100km. The Triangle Door version has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.5L/100km. The 2.4T Square-door Hard Top has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.4L/100km. The above figures are NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 9-11L/100km. Specific factors affecting car fuel consumption are as follows: Car weight: Larger and heavier cars tend to consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine and a weight of about 1.2 tons has a fuel consumption of approximately 7.5 liters (calculated under full load conditions), while an SUV model weighing about 1.5 tons has a fuel consumption of around 8.5 liters. Different weights lead to varying fuel consumption levels. Wind resistance: Higher wind resistance increases fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower wind resistance, resulting in lower fuel consumption. Economical RPM: During driving, the engine has a most economical torque output point. Maintaining the car's speed within this torque output point significantly reduces fuel consumption. Generally, small-displacement cars achieve this at about 70 km/h, while larger-displacement cars reach it at around 100 km/h. Keeping within this economical RPM range ensures minimal fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at traffic lights can increase fuel consumption.

What is the range of the Honda CR-V plug-in hybrid?

Honda CR-V plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a SPORT e+ plug-in hybrid system consisting of a model LFB13 2.0L engine and an electric motor. The system has a comprehensive maximum power of 215Ps, consistent with the Sharp·Hybrid model. However, the new vehicle is equipped with a 16kWh power battery, which enables the Honda CR-V plug-in hybrid version to achieve a maximum pure electric range of 85km. The upgrade of the Honda CR-V Sharp·Hybrid to a plug-in hybrid model necessitated increasing the power battery capacity and adding on-board charging equipment. The Honda CR-V plug-in hybrid version features a relatively flat battery pack arranged under the chassis to minimize intrusion into the passenger space. However, this design somewhat compromises the fuel tank space, reducing the new vehicle's fuel tank capacity to only 26L (compared to 53L for both the fuel version and the oil-hybrid version). The increased power battery adds 350kg to the vehicle's weight, which to some extent affects the acceleration performance. Factors affecting the range: Driving habits are the most critical factor in the power system's energy consumption, closely related to throttle opening, discharge current, driving conditions, and speed. Maintaining a low and stable discharge current output will make the vehicle relatively more energy-efficient. For example, gently and lightly pressing the accelerator pedal, avoiding sudden braking, using ECO mode, and fully utilizing the vehicle's energy recovery function are recommended, while minimizing the use of SPORT mode. Heavy use of electrical equipment: The comfort provided by air conditioning has a certain impact on the range. However, since the total battery capacity and discharge capability remain unchanged when using power-consuming devices, it is advisable to understand the power consumption of discharge devices better and lower the expectations for range alone. Vehicle load: The number of passengers or heavy loads carried by the vehicle, or low tire pressure, will consume more power to overcome the resistance during driving, increasing power consumption during the journey and shortening the range. Temperature affects the range of electric vehicles mainly when it is too high or too low, requiring the driver to use devices such as air conditioning inside the vehicle. These devices directly consume the electric energy of pure electric vehicles, such as using the heater in winter. Additionally, in cold winter temperatures, the actual discharge capability of lithium batteries decreases accordingly, leading to a reduction in the actual range.

What are the differences between Toyota Yaris X and Yaris?

Here are the differences between Toyota Yaris X and Yaris: 1. The Yaris is a hatchback, while the Yaris X is a hatchback crossover. 2. The Yaris X has a higher ground clearance, better off-road capability, and comes with exterior styling kits. 3. The Yaris X is more expensive than the Yaris. 4. The Yaris X is equipped with a roof rack, and it is 20 millimeters wider and 25 millimeters taller than the Yaris. Additional information: 1. Both the Yaris and Yaris X are powered by a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, which produces 110 horsepower and a maximum torque of 138 Nm in its factory state. This engine is equipped with a dual VVT-i variable valve timing system. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT. The CVT has a relatively simple internal structure, consisting of only two pulleys and a steel belt. The steel belt can move along the pulleys, allowing the transmission to vary speed and torque. 2. The Yaris uses a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. The torsion beam rear suspension is used to reduce costs, thereby lowering the price and enhancing market competitiveness. Torsion beam suspension is commonly used in vehicles of this class. Additionally, the torsion beam rear suspension helps to increase rear passenger space and trunk space, which is important for small family cars.

How soon can I schedule the Subject 4 test after passing Subject 3 in the driving test?

There are three scenarios for scheduling the Subject 4 test after passing Subject 3: taking the test directly on the same afternoon; no appointment required within 9 days—you can go to the Subject 4 test site with your ID within 9 days of passing Subject 3; third, scheduling after 10 days, with success depending on the current number of test-takers, student priority, and temporary arrangements at the test center. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It includes requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, knowledge of safe driving under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. Subject 4 test considerations: Test duration: The test lasts 30 minutes. Making mistakes totaling 12 points (6 questions) during the test will terminate the session. Number of questions: Depending on the type of license being tested, 50 questions are proportionally selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank. For car licenses, questions are drawn from a pool of 800, while for large vehicle licenses, they are drawn from 1,023. Each question is worth 2 points. Question types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 questions are single-choice, and the last 5 are multiple-choice. The test also includes animated questions, image-based questions, scenario recognition questions, and text-based questions. Retake considerations: If you fail Subject 4, you only need to retake Subject 4. The driving school will schedule the retake, with no limit on the number of retakes. You can retake until you pass, and no retake fees are required for Subject 4. Subject 4 test tips: Strengthen weak areas by identifying the reasons for mistakes. For marked questions, don't just memorize the correct answer. Refer to regulations, textbooks, or reference materials to understand and digest the reasons for errors. Categorize and summarize questions. Refer to the question bank analysis for classification and identify similar questions: Many questions in the bank are similar and easily confused, so they should be analyzed and grouped. For example, traffic signs for walking, hiking, pedestrian crossing, and pedestrian crossing warnings have similar patterns and can be confusing. Grouping them during study helps avoid mistakes. Find memorization techniques: Many questions in the bank involve numbers. Summarizing these numbers can make memorization easier. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 divided into two parts. Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the Subject 3 Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test and is not a separate subject. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; and Subject 3 refers to the road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge test. The Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test is conducted after Subject 3.
