The official fuel consumption is 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers. Below is related information about fuel consumption: 1. Fuel consumption is greatly influenced by driving habits and road conditions. Avoid heavy acceleration; gradual acceleration from a start is the most fuel-efficient. To save fuel, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal hard when starting. Heavy acceleration consumes 2 to 3 times more fuel compared to normal acceleration. In reality, the difference in time between heavy acceleration and gradual acceleration to reach 60 km/h is only about 10 to 20 seconds. 2. Maintaining a safe distance and avoiding frequent braking saves even more fuel. If you don't maintain a safe distance, you may need to brake frequently on the road. When braking, an automatic transmission vehicle will downshift, requiring the engine to work harder to regain speed from a lower gear. Starting from a stop or in a low gear consumes more fuel.

As a veteran driver who has owned a Sportage for two years, let me share some fuel consumption insights. My 2.0L automatic transmission model averages about 9-10L/100km in city commuting, dropping to around 7.5L/100km on highways. Running AC in summer adds about 0.5L/100km, and cold starts in winter also increase consumption. The most fuel-efficient driving method is maintaining a steady speed of 60-80km/h - sudden acceleration really burns fuel. I recommend recording mileage at each refuel and using apps to calculate actual consumption, which is much more accurate than the dashboard display. Details like tire pressure and oil viscosity also affect fuel economy - underinflated tires can increase consumption by 1L/100km.

What Causes a Car to Stall and Fail to Start?

Reasons and solutions for a car stalling and failing to start are as follows: Detailed Reasons: Dead battery or empty fuel tank; incorrect gear position or locked steering wheel preventing startup; automotive circuit or electronic failures, such as damaged spark plugs, blown fuses, or fuel pump malfunction; fuel quality issues, where poor-quality fuel prevents the engine from operating properly, etc. Solutions: Check if the spark plugs are damaged and replace them if necessary; inspect the engine for carbon buildup and clean the injector ports if needed; examine the fuel quality and replace it at a gas station if problematic.

How to Correct Steering for Early or Late Reversing into the Garage in Subject 2?

After entering the garage, mainly observe whether the distance between the car body and both sides of the garage is roughly equal. When the car body and the garage boundary line appear parallel in the rearview mirror (preferably the left mirror), the car body is then properly aligned. If the distance between the garage line and the car body is too large on one side, steer towards that side. The steering correction should not be too large; immediately straighten the wheels when they are about to be parallel. Below are additional tips: 1. Correct reference points: During practice, mentally note the approximate positions of each reference point. To correctly identify these points, first adjust the seat and rearview mirror positions. 2. Control the speed: In Subject 2, use the clutch to control the speed—press down on the clutch if the speed is too high, and release it slightly if the speed is too low. 3. Timing: After mastering the above two steps, turn the steering wheel decisively to the correct position when the reference point is reached. 4. Maintain 30cm: During the reversing process after fully turning the steering wheel, as the rear of the car gradually enters the garage, the wheels should maintain a 30cm distance from the garage corner before fully entering. Students should constantly monitor this in the rearview mirror. If the distance is less or more than 30cm, corrections must be made; otherwise, the car will definitely cross the line after entering the garage.

What Causes Difficulty in Starting a Hot Car?

The reasons why a sedan is difficult to start when hot include the following: 1. Carbon deposits: At high temperatures, carbon deposits have a strong adsorption effect on gasoline. If there are excessive carbon deposits on the intake valve, throttle valve, or piston, they can absorb some fuel, leading to an overly lean air-fuel mixture and affecting startup. 2. Coolant temperature sensor: The coolant temperature sensor adjusts the fuel injection pulse width. If it malfunctions and fails to provide accurate temperature signals, it can affect engine fuel injection, leading to abnormal air-fuel mixture ratios and startup difficulties. 3. Intake air temperature sensor: Similar to the coolant temperature sensor, the intake air temperature sensor also adjusts fuel injection. Higher temperatures from this sensor can result in an overly rich mixture, while a broken circuit or poor grounding can cause an overly lean mixture. Both overly rich and lean mixtures can make starting difficult. 4. Fuel quality issues: After a hot engine shutdown, the engine compartment remains at a high temperature. If the fuel is prone to evaporation, it can form high vapor pressure in the fuel rail. When this pressure exceeds the fuel supply system's pressure, vapor lock occurs, causing the fuel injector to spray overly lean fuel vapor, making startup difficult. 5. Fuel injector leakage: Due to the high temperature immediately after engine shutdown, leaked fuel can vaporize and enter the intake manifold. This results in an overly rich mixture during a hot start, making it difficult to start the engine.

What is the reason for the engine malfunction light coming on?

When the engine light comes on while driving, it could be due to engine knocking, etc. The reasons and solutions are as follows: Detailed Reasons: The vehicle malfunction light usually comes on due to the fuel emission system; poor engine combustion state; engine knocking; poor fuel quality; unclean engine cylinder interior with accumulated carbon deposits; the computer failing to obtain engine data; false faults, etc. Solutions for the Engine Malfunction Light: Promptly check the condition of the car's engine; inspect the state of the car's sensors, air flow sensor, and spark plug components; check for any knocking in the car; examine if there are any faults in the ignition coil.

What Causes the Windshield Wiper to Become Blurry After Wiping?

If the windshield becomes blurry after wiping, it may be due to a faulty wiper. The working principle and function of windshield wipers are introduced as follows: Working Principle of Windshield Wipers: The working principle of windshield wipers refers to the process where the driver operates the wiper handle, sending a demand signal to the BCM (Body Control Module). The BCM then inputs a start signal to the wiper motor, which controls the wiper arm to perform the corresponding action. Function of Windshield Wipers: The function of the wiper is to remove raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, thereby improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety.

What does agreement car mean?

An agreement car refers to a vehicle that uses someone else's license plate, where the car belongs to the agreement holder but is registered under the other party's name. Below is an introduction to car maintenance items and the benefits of regular maintenance: Car Maintenance Items: Mainly include replacing fluids and wear parts. Fluids include engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, windshield washer fluid, and battery electrolyte, etc. Wear parts include belts, wipers, spark plugs, ignition coils, brake pads, brake rotors, tires, and filters, etc. Benefits of Regular Maintenance: Regular car maintenance can improve vehicle performance and extend its service life. According to relevant car maintenance test programs, proper maintenance can save 11.36% of fuel during driving. After comprehensive maintenance, CO emissions during idle driving can be reduced by 45.37%.
