The 2010 Lavida model has only one variant, with a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. It comes with one displacement option of 1.4T and one transmission choice of dual-clutch. The engine delivers a maximum power of 96.0 kW, maximum horsepower of 131 PS, and maximum torque of 220.0 N·m. The vehicle dimensions are 4608×1743×1465 mm (length×width×height). For comparison, the 2018 and 2021 Lavida models both have a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, while the 2019 Lavida has a capacity of 52.8 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, with additional space left between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the nominal capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means the tank is nearly full.

Can the New Sagitar 1.2T Use 92 Octane Gasoline?

According to the official car manual recommendation, the New Sagitar 1.2T should use 95 octane gasoline. In addition to checking the suitable gasoline grade in the car manual, the New Sagitar 1.2T can also refer to the label on the fuel tank cap. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Cars with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. However, with the application of new technologies, the gasoline grade cannot be solely determined by the compression ratio. High compression ratio engines can also be tuned to use lower octane gasoline because, apart from the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane number, the higher the octane value and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the New Sagitar 1.2T occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after consumption. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower octane gasoline, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane value will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher octane gasoline, using lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane value, the gasoline's ignition point decreases, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug ignites during the compression stroke, resistance will arise in the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If it's mild knocking, it only increases noise with no obvious damage to the engine. If there is noticeable knocking, it indicates severe engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.

Why was the Volvo V40 discontinued?

Here are the specific reasons for the discontinuation of the Volvo V40: 1. The Volvo V40 is a compact hatchback. Although hatchbacks have advantages such as being lightweight, convenient, flexible to use, easy to park, and economical, Chinese consumers generally perceive hatchbacks as not being grand enough, with short and disproportionate body proportions that do not align with mainstream Chinese aesthetics. The passenger space and trunk are integrated in hatchbacks, and the trunk space is usually relatively small. 2. The discontinuation of the Volvo V40 is also related to its own product competitiveness. The Volvo V40 released updated models every year, but the updates showed almost no changes in appearance.

How to Use Fuel Additives?

Fuel additives usage method: Simply pour it directly into the car's fuel tank to mix with gasoline. The optimal time to add fuel additives is before refueling—add the fuel additive first, then fill up with gasoline. This allows the initially added fuel additive to fully mix uniformly under the impact of the gasoline, achieving optimal performance. Precautions for using fuel additives include: 1. Purchase branded fuel additives and avoid randomly using those recommended by repair shops; 2. Do not rush to use fuel additives in new cars; 3. Do not rely solely on fuel additives to clean engine carbon deposits—pay attention to driving habits.

What Does the Triangle Exclamation Mark Mean?

The triangle exclamation mark is a general fault indicator, indicating that the vehicle has encountered a malfunction. There are numerous reasons why this warning light may illuminate, including issues with the car's transmission, fuel system, parking system, lighting system, or engine. It is recommended to promptly visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Solutions for a lit transmission warning light include: 1. Conducting a computer diagnostic and replacing damaged electronic components; 2. Repairing damaged mechanical components; 3. Inspecting and repairing the engine and ABS; 4. Cleaning the transmission valve body and replacing the transmission fluid; 5. Checking for transmission fluid leaks; 6. Inspecting and repairing sensor connection circuits.

What is the meaning of cruise control?

The meaning of cruise control is to maintain a constant speed of the vehicle. Once the car is set to cruise mode, the engine's fuel supply is controlled by the computer, which continuously adjusts the fuel supply based on road conditions and the vehicle's driving resistance to keep the car at the set speed without the need to operate the throttle. Here are some related details: 1. The advantages of cruise control include freeing the driver's limbs, reducing fatigue during long-distance steady-speed driving, and saving excessive fuel consumption caused by frequent gear changes. 2. The cruise control function is convenient to use, but there are also points to note and common misconceptions to be aware of when using this feature.
