The Avalon is recommended to use 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. For safety, ensure the engine and all power sources are turned off during refueling to prevent fires caused by electrical currents or high temperatures. The fuel tank cap can be opened by pressing it without locking the car. Below are precautions for refueling the Avalon: 1. Correctly place the fuel nozzle inside the fuel filler to prevent overflow and potential fires, which could cause personal injury. 2. After refueling, ensure the fuel tank cap is securely closed to avoid accidents due to evaporation or spillage. 3. It is not advisable to remain inside the vehicle during refueling. If someone must stay in the car, close the doors tightly and avoid using electronic devices. Additionally, touch a metal surface to discharge static electricity before handling the fuel nozzle again. 4. Strictly prohibit smoking, making phone calls, or similar activities during refueling. 5. If the remaining fuel level is below 1/4, promptly visit the nearest gas station to refuel to prevent breakdowns.

Hey, that's a great question. The Avalon generally recommends using 92-octane gasoline, which allows the engine to run more smoothly and reduces the risk of knocking. I've driven an Avalon myself, and if you use lower-octane fuel, like 87, you might feel the car lacks power and the fuel consumption increases. It's best to refer to the user manual's recommendations, which usually specify 91 octane or higher. Make it a habit to check the octane rating before refueling to avoid engine damage from using the wrong fuel—especially during long trips, as the correct fuel can save you a lot on repairs. Regular maintenance is also crucial, including cleaning the fuel system to maintain stable overall performance. In short, 92-octane gasoline is a safe choice, and don’t underestimate this—it can extend your car’s lifespan.

As an Avalon owner, my personal experience is that using 92-octane gasoline works best. When I was younger, I once tried 87-octane fuel and the car had noticeable jerking issues. I ended up paying for fuel system cleaning myself, which was quite troublesome. Now I consistently use 92-octane - the engine runs quietly and fuel consumption stays within reasonable limits. I recommend always filling up at reputable gas stations to avoid damage from poor-quality fuel. From a maintenance perspective, higher-octane gasoline helps reduce carbon buildup and extends engine life. Regular fuel quality checks provide extra peace of mind. Economically speaking, long-term use of 92-octane might actually be more cost-effective than lower grades due to improved efficiency. Bottom line - don't gamble with fuel choices, following the manual is always the safest approach.

As a family car owner, I feel very reassured using 92-octane gasoline for my Avalon. Choosing the right fuel is directly related to driving safety, especially when traveling with children - I don't want any car trouble. Using the wrong fuel like 87-octane could cause engine knocking or stalling, which is dangerous. 92-octane ensures smooth engine operation and simpler maintenance. In daily life, I make it a habit to carefully check the gas station signs to confirm it's 92 or higher octane, combined with regular maintenance like oil changes, which helps keep the car running longer and more economically.

How to activate the ambient lighting in BMW X3?

Press the round button on the left side of the steering wheel to activate the ambient lighting in BMW X3. Below is an introduction to the active ambient lighting: Introduction to active ambient lighting: In addition to simply changing colors like traditional ambient lighting, the active ambient lighting can also automatically perform certain changes. When communicating with the vehicle's infotainment system, the ambient light strip on the instrument panel displays the volume of speech (similar to an energy pulse oscilloscope). Conversely, when the infotainment system responds, it also performs corresponding actions, giving the car a sense of vitality. Functions of active ambient lighting: In dynamic mode, the colors can alternate and transform, with light and shadow flowing, creating a stunning visual effect. The active ambient lighting also interacts with the vehicle's intelligent driving assistance systems. For example, when the blind spot monitoring system detects an imminent collision, the interior ambient lighting can change to flashing red to alert the driver. Compared to the flashing indicators on the dashboard and rearview mirror, this method is obviously more intuitive.
