I've been driving a Lavida for a while now, commuting daily during rush hour in the city with frequent traffic lights and congestion. The actual fuel consumption is around 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers. Occasionally on weekend highway trips, it can drop to about 6 liters. The car comes in different versions like 1.4T and 1.5L, mine being the 1.4T automatic transmission. The power feels adequate, but it does consume more fuel in urban areas, especially with AC on in summer when consumption can reach 10 liters. I try to accelerate smoothly and avoid stomping on the throttle to save some fuel costs. Overall, it's not too bad for city driving, though noticeably higher than the official ratings. Regular maintenance and checking tire pressure are recommended to help control fuel consumption.

I often drive my Lavida long-distance back to my hometown. When cruising at 110 mph on the highway, the fuel consumption is impressive, usually between 5.5 to 6 liters per 100 kilometers. The low wind resistance and steady traffic flow mean that turning on the AC doesn’t noticeably affect it. However, in city driving conditions, the fuel consumption jumps, sometimes reaching over 9 liters. The 1.5L manual version of this car is even more economical on highways, with low engine RPM and minimal noise—even after driving hundreds of kilometers continuously, half a tank of fuel remains. I recommend choosing suitable tires and regularly cleaning carbon deposits to help maintain low fuel consumption. Driving habits matter a lot on long trips—maintaining a steady speed and avoiding speeding ensures both safety and savings.

Do Electric Vehicles Use Antifreeze?

Electric vehicles do require antifreeze. Unlike in fuel-powered vehicles, antifreeze in electric vehicles is used to cool the motor and must be replaced periodically according to the manufacturer's guidelines (typically every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers). The antifreeze in electric vehicles primarily serves to dissipate heat from the motor and the battery, and it is also used for the temperature regulation in the air conditioning and heating systems. Below are the steps to replace the antifreeze in an electric vehicle: 1. Always wait at least 10 minutes after the vehicle is turned off before replacing the antifreeze. The antifreeze can be extremely hot after driving and may cause burns. 2. Conduct a thorough inspection of the vehicle: Check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes and inspect the five-way water pipe. If there is any leakage of antifreeze in this area, replace the water pipe or resecure the connection as needed. 3. Use a jack to lift the vehicle. 4. Loosen the screw at the bottom of the radiator with a wrench and use a waste fluid pan to catch the old antifreeze. 5. Cover the expansion tank cap with a thick towel and slowly loosen it until the pressure is fully released, then remove the cap completely. Use a compressed air blow gun or a thick towel to pressurize the expansion tank filler port to remove as much antifreeze as possible from the engine. 6. Add softened water and let the engine idle for 5 minutes to thoroughly clean the internal cooling circulation system. 7. Add new antifreeze up to the maximum fill line. 8. Let the engine idle for another 5 minutes, then observe the coolant reservoir's level and top it up if necessary.

What is sudden engine stalling while driving?

Here are possible reasons for sudden engine stalling while driving: 1. Electrical circuit failure. This may occur due to low-voltage power interruption during driving, causing stalling. In this case, focus on checking the ignition system, starter switch, and fuse box. 2. Electrical component failure. Common issues involve the ignition coil, capacitor, or electronic ignition module. The car may start initially but stall after a while, then restart and stall again. 3. Fuel system failure. Possible causes include a damaged fuel pump, ruptured fuel line, clogged carburetor inlet, or empty fuel tank. The car might restart but with difficulty. 4. Sensor failure. Malfunctions in the throttle position sensor, air flow sensor, intake pressure sensor, crankshaft position sensor, or camshaft position sensor can lead to stalling. 5. Other failures. Serious issues like engine timing system disorder, incorrect timing calibration, or valve collision may prevent the engine from starting, requiring roadside assistance. 6. Use of substandard fuel. Automatic transmission vehicles generally don't stall easily. When they do, the primary cause is usually low-quality (below-standard) fuel leading to engine carbon buildup and stalling.

Are Position Lamps the Same as Width Lamps?

Position lamps and width lamps are the same. Position lamps are also called width lamps. They are lamps installed at the highest points of the front and rear of a vehicle, similar to the anti-collision lights on the wingtips of an aircraft. They are primarily used during driving in conditions such as dusk, overcast days, or rainy and foggy weather to indicate the width and height of the vehicle. This helps other drivers determine the relative position and size of the vehicle during encounters or overtaking. Typically, the color of width lamps is white at the front and red at the rear. There are two types of position lamp switches: rotary knob style and lever style. Literally, the term 'position lamp' can be broken down: 'position' implies a warning, and 'lamp' refers to the outline. Position lamps are warning lights designed to alert other vehicles. Installed along the edges of the vehicle's roof, they indicate both the height and width of the vehicle. Safety regulations mandate that vehicles taller than three meters must be equipped with position lamps.

Can I Bring a Bag When Practicing Driving?

You can bring a bag when practicing driving. Precautions for novice drivers: 1. Fasten your seatbelt when getting in the car: Good habits start with wearing a seatbelt. Although it may feel uncomfortable, this small belt could save your life in the event of a high-speed collision. It is advised to develop the habit of fastening your seatbelt as soon as you get in the car. 2. Don't forget to release the handbrake when starting: As a beginner, always follow the correct sequence when starting the car. Regardless of whether the handbrake was engaged when parked, always check and release it before starting. Additionally, if you notice anything unusual while driving, stop immediately to inspect and understand the issue before continuing. Don't just complain about the car without knowing the cause. 3. Position your right foot correctly: Driving school cars usually have a higher idle speed. Instructors often discourage beginners from pressing the accelerator and may even disconnect the throttle cable. Since the car moves at idle speed, it can stop quickly by just pressing the clutch. Over time, many learners develop the habit of leaving their right foot idle. This habit can be dangerous when driving a manual transmission car in an emergency, as you might panic and miss the best braking opportunity, or even mistakenly press the accelerator instead of the brake, leading to serious accidents. 4. Don't forget to shift to neutral when parking: Forgetting to shift back to neutral or P after parking can cause the engine to stall. If you also forget to engage the handbrake, the car might lurch forward, causing damage to yourself or others. 5. Don't forget to engage the handbrake when parking: This issue is similar to wearing a seatbelt. During practice, the training area is usually flat, and instructors might not emphasize this. However, failing to overcome this bad habit can lead to major problems when driving formally. A slight oversight can result in the car rolling away, causing damage to your vehicle or even harming others' property or lives. The mistake may seem minor, but the consequences can be severe.

What are the symptoms of a faulty motorcycle spark plug?

Motorcycle spark plug failure symptoms requiring replacement: difficulty starting, low power, excessive exhaust emissions, increased fuel consumption; severe spark plug damage with phenomena such as blistering at the top, black streaks, cracking, or electrode melting. Methods to determine if a spark plug is damaged: Remove the spark plug for observation and assess its condition based on the following appearance colors. A normal spark plug's insulator skirt and electrodes appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug has a reddish-brown insulator skirt, with an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plug is contaminated with oil or deposits but is not damaged, it can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plug is severely damaged, showing blistering at the top, black streaks, cracking, electrode melting, etc., the cause of the damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace the spark plug with a new one. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates the wrong heat range was selected or the air-fuel mixture is too rich, with oil seepage.
