Actual Fuel Consumption of the Xingyue L?

The actual fuel consumption of the Xingyue L is 8.0-10.4L/100km. The combined fuel consumption of the Xingyue L is 6.8-7.8L/100km. There are currently 7 models of this vehicle on sale: the two-wheel-drive Luxury, two-wheel-drive Flagship, two-wheel-drive Premium, four-wheel-drive Flagship, and four-wheel-drive Premium models, all with a combined fuel consumption of 6.8L/100km. The two-wheel-drive Intelligent Premium and two-wheel-drive Comfort models have a combined fuel consumption of 7.8L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC combined fuel consumption, which represents the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test cycle. Actual fuel consumption is higher than these values. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before stopping at a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements generally mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

What is the minimum speed limit for passenger cars on highways?

On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger cars must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, other motor vehicles must not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and motorcycles must not exceed 80 kilometers per hour. Detailed information is as follows: 1. According to the 'Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China': Article 78 states that highways should indicate the speed limits for lanes, with the maximum speed not exceeding 120 kilometers per hour and the minimum speed not less than 60 kilometers per hour. 2. Speed limits vary based on the number of lanes: For roads with two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 kilometers per hour; for roads with three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed for the middle lane is 90 kilometers per hour. If the speed limit indicated by road signs differs from the above lane speed regulations, drivers should follow the speed limit indicated by the road signs.

What does the 12123 inspection validity period end mean?

12123 inspection validity period end refers to the expiration date of the vehicle inspection. Below are the relevant details: 1. Notes: If the validity period has exceeded 11 months but is less than 1 year, you need to apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office where the motor vehicle driver's license was issued. First, you must undergo a medical examination at a designated hospital and obtain the "Motor Vehicle Driver Physical Condition Certificate." The vehicle owner should log in to the comprehensive traffic safety service management platform, click on "License Replacement Upon Expiration" under the "Driver's License" business module to proceed. 2. Required materials for driver's license replacement: the driver's ID card and its copy, the driver's license, the physical condition certificate, the photo receipt, etc. For replacement in a different location, no residence or temporary residence documents are required. In addition, before replacing the driver's license, any traffic violations must be resolved, and the penalty points must be cleared; otherwise, the replacement will not be issued.

What brand is the transmission of the Jetour X70 Plus?

The Jetour X70 Plus uses a transmission from the Getrag brand. Getrag Transmission System Co., Ltd. is a transmission technology product and service provider jointly established by the German Getrag Group and Jiangling Motors Group, officially commencing operations in January 2007 in Nanchang, Jiangxi. It primarily develops mid-to-high-end transmission products, targeting the high-end light vehicle, commercial vehicle, and passenger car markets. The Jetour X70 Plus is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The 6-speed manual transmission refers to a manual gearbox with six forward gears and one reverse gear. Manual transmission vehicles use a manual shift mechanical gearbox to regulate speed, meaning that shifting the gear lever changes the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The clutch must be depressed to move the gear lever. When using the transmission of the Jetour X70 Plus daily, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for too long. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for extended periods. While driving a manual transmission vehicle, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can cause the transmission to overheat and produce a noticeable jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers, aiming to showcase smooth operation, shift directly into the opposite gear before the vehicle stops, which can significantly harm the transmission's internal gears and lead to grinding or other faults over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). On steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift prematurely, resulting in insufficient climbing power. In such cases, use manual mode to limit lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to move the vehicle onto the tow platform while in Neutral (N). Do not use a tow rope or directly tow the vehicle with another vehicle.

What does the automatic transmission indicator mean?

According to the information, there are 5 gears in an automatic transmission, namely P gear, R gear, N gear, D gear, and S gear. Below is a detailed introduction about them: P gear: The Chinese name is parking gear, also known as the parking mode. R gear: Reverse gear. When you need to reverse, make sure the vehicle has completely stopped before shifting to R gear. This is because the various gears inside the transmission are still in motion when the car has not completely stopped. Shifting suddenly to R gear at this time can cause significant impact to the internal gears of the transmission. N gear: The Chinese name is neutral gear. It is used very frequently and has relatively high tolerance. Switching to neutral gear does not have many restrictions. However, never coast in neutral gear as it not only does not save fuel but also greatly increases the danger. D gear: It is the most frequently used gear during driving. S gear: Sport mode. When you need to overtake quickly or drive on mountain roads, you can shift to S gear. At this time, the response speed of the transmission will be more sensitive than in D gear, but long-term use will also increase fuel consumption.
