According to the Sail's parameter configuration, its fuel tank capacity is 42 liters. Below is the relevant introduction: Interior: The interior features a distinct home-style design, with a predominantly gray color scheme that appears warm and is also relatively stain-resistant. Although the materials used are still primarily hard plastics, the mold workmanship is good, with smooth and fine edges on the modules and uniform seams, so it doesn't feel cheap. Additionally, the texture treatment on the plastic surfaces of the dashboard and door panels is well done, enhancing the overall quality. Without the trunk, the body of the new Sail hatchback is more compact and looks more agile. Dimensions: Compared to the sedan version, the body length is reduced by 302mm, and the height is lowered by 2mm, but the wheelbase remains unchanged at 2465mm. The overall dimensions are (length × width × height) 3947 × 1690 × 1503mm.

I remember driving a 2012 Chevrolet Sail, which had a 42-liter fuel tank, perfectly sufficient for daily commuting. My daily round trip is about 20 kilometers, and a full tank could last around 600 kilometers, which was quite hassle-free as I didn't need to visit gas stations frequently. Especially during long trips, with some advance planning for refueling stops, there was hardly any worry about running out of fuel midway. In daily driving, I always kept an eye on the fuel gauge to ensure it didn't drop below a quarter, avoiding potential damage to the fuel pump. Overall, the 42-liter design struck a good balance between vehicle weight and range, making it very economical to drive, particularly suitable for practical drivers like me.

As someone with a bit of interest in automotive technology, I've researched the 2012 Chevrolet Sail and found its fuel tank capacity is 42 liters. This size is reasonable for a compact car, helping reduce body weight without sacrificing range. Under normal driving conditions, fuel consumption is about 7 liters per 100 kilometers, so a full tank can easily cover 600 kilometers. I recommend regularly using apps to track fuel consumption—for example, resetting the trip meter after filling up and calculating actual consumption at the next refuel. This helps detect potential issues early, like fuel line clogs or sensor failures. Overall, the 42-liter tank provides peace of mind, especially for urban commuting.

Where is the sunroof drainage outlet of the Tayron located?

The sunroof drainage holes of the Tayron are generally located at the four corners of the car's sunroof. Below are some maintenance tips for the car sunroof: 1. Pay attention to cleaning frequency: Regular cleaning with fine talcum powder can extend the service life of the sealing ring. The moving parts of the sunroof are made of low-maintenance materials, so mechanical parts should be cleaned periodically with engine oil or lubricant. It is recommended to clean them every two months. 2. Be mindful of sand particle accumulation: After prolonged use, a significant amount of sand particles may accumulate in the sunroof's sliding tracks and gaps. If not removed regularly, these particles can wear down the sunroof components. Frequently clean around the sliding tracks to prevent sand particle accumulation and prolong the sealing ring's lifespan. 3. Precautions before opening the sunroof: Check the roof for any obstacles that might hinder the movement of the glass panel. The sunroof panel is designed to block heat and UV rays; clean it with a soft cloth and cleaning agent, and avoid using sticky cleaning agents.

Is the Tayron a B-segment car?

The Tayron is a B-segment car. Here are the relevant details: 1. B-segment cars: B-segment refers to mid-size cars. B-segment mid-size passenger cars typically have a wheelbase ranging from 2.7 to 2.9 meters and engine displacements between 1.8L and 2.5L. The B-segment market has gradually become a key battleground for domestic automakers. The Tayron falls under the mid-size SUV category. 2. Specific dimensions of the Tayron: The FAW-Volkswagen Tayron is not particularly large among mid-size SUVs, with a length of only 4,589mm and a wheelbase of 2,731mm. Despite its compact dimensions, the Tayron adopts a short-body + long-wheelbase design, maximizing interior space within a smaller footprint. While body size is one factor, another crucial aspect is interior space planning. FAW-Volkswagen engineers allocated most of the Tayron's interior space to the rear seats. As a result, even with its modest dimensions, the Tayron offers exceptionally spacious rear seating—a clear benefit of thoughtful space design.

What is the installation method for a fallen rearview mirror?

The installation method for a fallen rearview mirror is: 1. Use a tool to twist the copper wire at one end of the rearview mirror and the heating wire together, and wrap it well with insulating tape; 2. Connect the metal buckle at one end of the heating wire to the slot above the black plastic holder on the back of the mirror; 3. Place the wired mirror into the rearview mirror housing and adjust its position; 4. Press gently and firmly until a 'click' sound is heard, indicating that the rearview mirror is installed. The function of the car rearview mirror is to reflect the situation behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly see these positions clearly, expanding the driver's field of vision, and increasing the safety of reversing and driving.

What is the unit of 2.5 tire pressure for cars?

The unit of 2.5 tire pressure for cars is bar, and the conversion unit is 2500kpa. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and its influencing factors include: 1. Seasonal factors: In winter, the standard tire pressure of the car should be appropriately increased by 0.2bar, while in summer, the pressure can be 0.1bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowout due to high temperature; 2. Tire pressure measurement environment: The tire pressure of cold tires and hot tires is different, and the difference between them should be noted to be 0.3bar when measuring. The hazards of excessive tire pressure: 1. The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting the braking effect; 2. It will cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. It will accelerate the local wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, reducing the tire's lifespan; 4. The vibration of the car body will increase, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components.
