For the Q7 3.0 model, when driven by a single driver without air conditioning and under urban congested road conditions, the fuel consumption is approximately 15 liters per 100 kilometers. On suburban roads, it is around 13 liters per 100 kilometers, and on highways or national roads with good traffic conditions, it is about 11 liters per 100 kilometers. Factors affecting fuel consumption: 1. Road conditions: Poor or uneven road surfaces, leading to prolonged driving in low gears, will inevitably increase fuel consumption. 2. Overloading the trunk: Some drivers use the trunk as a storage space, filling it with unnecessary items, which increases the vehicle's weight. The relationship between vehicle weight and fuel consumption is directly proportional; a 10% reduction in weight can lead to a corresponding percentage decrease in fuel consumption. 3. Incorrect driving habits: Improper driving habits have the most significant impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at traffic lights, or when changing lanes, sudden acceleration and braking are common issues. 4. Insufficient tire pressure: If the tire pressure is too low, rolling resistance increases significantly. Tests show that tire pressure 2 psi (pounds per square inch) below the recommended value can increase fuel consumption by 1%. Additionally, misaligned or excessively worn tires may also increase fuel consumption.

Is it okay to disconnect the negative terminal of a car battery for long-term parking?

Disconnecting the negative terminal of a car battery for long-term parking is acceptable. Here are some precautions for long-term car parking: Avoid frequent battery disconnection: It is recommended not to frequently disconnect the battery to prevent potential battery malfunctions. Prevent dust accumulation on the car: For long-term parking, it's best to remove the battery. Then park the car in a secure location, ensuring that fallen leaves and dust do not cover the vehicle, as this can block drainage holes and lead to water ingress during rain. Avoid storing perishable items in the car: It's advisable not to leave food or other perishable items in the car, as they may attract rodents. Park the car in a shaded area: Since cars have many rubber components such as seals, belts, and tires, exposure to wind and sunlight can accelerate aging. Therefore, it's best to park the car in a shaded area where direct sunlight is avoided.

What is the situation with emergency rescue assistance malfunction?

Emergency rescue assistance malfunction can be caused by lack of maintenance and disassembly, unplugged emergency horn connector, damaged wiring or water ingress in the antenna. Below are specific explanations for these causes: Lack of maintenance and disassembly: Check whether the vehicle has undergone any recent maintenance or disassembly work. Unplugged emergency horn connector: Inspect whether the emergency control horn connector under the driver's footrest is properly connected.

Can You Eat in the Passenger Seat?

It is acceptable to eat in the passenger seat, provided it does not distract the driver. Safety guidelines for the passenger seat are as follows: Safety Reminders: Do not fall asleep immediately upon entering the car. One of the key responsibilities of the passenger is to assist the driver in observing the surroundings and alerting them to any potential safety issues. For example, remind the driver to take a break if they appear drowsy, or promptly notify them of any emergencies occurring on the right side of the lane. Assisting with Observation: During turns or reversing, help the driver by observing from multiple angles to minimize blind spots. (Drivers have many blind spots, and the passenger's different perspective can help reduce these hazards.) Avoid Excessive Chatter: Refrain from excessive nagging, especially over-criticizing the driver's actions or over-reminding them about road conditions ahead. After all, the driver is continuously monitoring the situation. Excessive reminders can irritate the driver.
