The Malibu has a total of 9 models. The 2022 Malibu 535T comes in 3 versions, all with a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The 2022 Malibu 550T has 6 versions, all with a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The Malibu features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension, with all models adopting a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. In the same vehicle class, the 2021 K5 KaiKu 270T CVVD Fashion Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 60L, and the 2020 Sonata Modified 270T GDi DCT GL Leading Edition also has a fuel tank capacity of 60L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by automakers is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill limit. There is additional space from the safe fill limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F means the tank is nearly full.

I remember driving a Chevrolet Malibu a few years ago, which had a fuel tank capacity of around 60 liters, quite practical for daily driving. On long trips, a full tank could easily cover 500-600 kilometers, with an average fuel consumption of about 10 liters per 100 kilometers. One refueling was enough for a family of three to travel all day, eliminating the hassle of frequent stops. For daily commutes, I only needed to refuel once a week, which was quite convenient time-wise. However, it's advisable to regularly check if the fuel tank cap is properly sealed to avoid fuel evaporation and waste. If there are unusual noises or a sudden increase in fuel consumption, there might be a leak in the tank, requiring prompt repair. The 60-liter design is thoughtful, ensuring both range and space efficiency, making it economical and safe to drive.

Does Failing to Sign After the Subject One Exam Invalidate the Test?

Subject One exam has a full score of 100 points, with a passing score of 90. The total duration is 45 minutes, and the test paper consists of 100 questions, including true/false questions and single-choice questions. Failing to sign after the Subject One exam does not invalidate the test. As long as the test score is passed, the examinee can request to sign later, and the system will default to the examinee having passed the exam. Passing score for Subject One: The Subject One exam has a total duration of 45 minutes, and the test paper consists of 100 questions, including true/false questions and single-choice questions, with a full score of 100 points and a passing score of 90. The test paper is randomly selected and combined by the computer driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Standards". Exam process: Follow the staff's arrangement and receive your driving school file in order in the waiting area; Carry and present your ID card for inspection by the supervising officer; Mobile phones must be turned off when entering the exam area; No loud noise is allowed in the exam area; Regulation textbooks are not allowed to be brought into the exam area (or placed in the bag); After the exam, keep your ID card safe and submit the file to the "Document Submission Window" at the front of the exam area; Examinees who pass the exam should sign under the guidance of the staff at the exit of the exam area before leaving; Examinees who fail the exam can leave the exam area and wait for the driving school staff to notify them of the retake time.

What are the causes of driveshaft noise?

Driveshaft noise is caused by imbalance in the driveshaft assembly, damage to the universal joint, and damage to the driveshaft and slip yoke. Specific details are as follows: Assembly: Excessive assembly errors in the driveshaft assembly, imprecise part dimensions, and wear and deformation during use can lead to uneven mass distribution along the length of the driveshaft, resulting in imbalance. An unbalanced driveshaft generates additional bending moments during operation, which not only causes impact noise but also intensifies the bending vibration of the driveshaft, making the shaking and noise more pronounced. Damage: The main damage to the universal joint during use includes wear on the cross shaft, journal and end faces, as well as wear on the needle rollers and bearing housing bores. Damage to universal joint components causes looseness in the cross shaft, leading to wobbling and axial movement. This not only produces impact noise during operation but also reduces the bending stiffness of the driveshaft, further displacing the mass center from the rotational axis, thereby increasing shaking and noise. Amplitude: Bending of the driveshaft tube increases the amplitude of bending vibration, raising centrifugal forces and resulting in severe shaking and noise. Wear on the driveshaft splines and slip yoke keyways causes looseness, generating impact noise during operation and further reducing the driveshaft's bending stiffness, exacerbating shaking and noise.

Why Did the Car Suddenly Stall?

Here are the reasons why a car may suddenly stall: Electrical Circuit Fault: This could be due to a low-voltage power failure while driving, causing the car to stall. In this case, you should primarily check the ignition and starter switches, as well as the fuse box. Electrical Component Failure: This issue is usually related to the ignition coil, capacitor, or electronic ignition module. The car may start initially, but then stall after a while, only to start again and stall once more. Fuel System Fault: Possible causes include a damaged fuel pump, a ruptured fuel line, a clogged carburetor fuel inlet, or an empty fuel tank. In such cases, the car may still be able to restart, but with great difficulty.

Does the B2 license require annual review?

B2 driver's license requires an annual review. Here are the precautions during the vehicle inspection Keep the vehicle clean and tidy. To leave a good first impression on the inspectors, it is recommended to clean the vehicle as much as possible before the inspection, giving it a brand-new appearance. Minor scratches on the vehicle will also be less noticeable, making it easier for the inspectors to pass. Ensure all traffic violations are settled. If there are unresolved violations on your vehicle, the staff will not proceed with the annual inspection, causing significant delays. Make sure to settle all violations before the inspection. Prepare the necessary items to bring. Before the inspection, you need to prepare the vehicle registration certificate, compulsory traffic insurance policy, driver's ID card, as well as essential items such as a fire extinguisher, warning triangle, reflective vest, and other emergency supplies. If these are not prepared, you will need to purchase them at designated locations.

Dump Truck Heavy Load Downhill Methods?

You can use exhaust disc brakes for braking, or adopt exhaust braking for downhill descent. Dump trucks have large volumes and weights, making deceleration and braking relatively difficult to operate. Exhaust disc brake braking is a relatively common braking method, basically a standard product for light, medium, and heavy trucks. This braking method can achieve the purpose of reducing speed in a short time. Here is extended information: Engine: When exhaust braking is working, the exhaust valve is opened with a small gap, allowing the engine to release compression energy through exhaust during the compression stroke, thereby achieving the purpose of deceleration for the vehicle. According to the implementation method, it can be divided into two types: active and passive. Due to the large weight of dump trucks, prolonged braking can cause the brake temperature to be too high and fail. It is recommended to install a water spray device on the truck. During the driving process, the car can cool the brakes. Before driving on the road, be sure to check the brake clearance to avoid excessive clearance that requires hard braking to stop.
