The 2016 Sunny 1.5XE Manual Leading Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 41L. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension. In the same vehicle class, the 2021 Envix Hybrid 1.5L Comfort Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 40L, and the 2021 Tiida 1.6L Manual Joy Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 50L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety 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 capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, owners can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is 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.

I've been driving the Nissan Sunny for several years, with a fuel tank capacity of around 41 liters, which is completely sufficient for urban commuting. For daily commuting, a full tank can cover over 500 kilometers, with the dashboard showing a fuel consumption of 6-7 liters per 100 km. Last time on the highway, I specifically tested it—with the air conditioning on the whole time, I could drive 590 kilometers before the fuel light came on after filling up to the automatic shut-off, working out to just over 0.4 yuan per kilometer in fuel costs. I usually refuel when there's about a quarter tank left, which is better for the fuel pump. Some people think the tank is small, but the Sunny is an economical family sedan—a larger tank would add weight and affect fuel efficiency. A reminder for beginners: the fuel cap is on the left side, so don’t park on the wrong side and waste time queuing. If you frequently take long trips, you might need to refuel midway, but combined with its low fuel consumption, the overall cost of ownership is still very economical.

How to Solve the High Water Temperature Issue in Geely King Kong?

Pull over to the side of the road, but do not turn off the engine immediately. Since the cooling capacity has reached its limit, turning off the engine right away would stop the circulation of the boiling coolant. Inspect the engine condenser and radiator. If there are impurities on the surface of the condenser or radiator, or if the heat dissipation is poor, cleaning them should suffice. If the performance of the temperature control switch has degraded or the relay contacts are burnt, this situation is more likely to occur. If the computer detects that the physical water temperature is normal, it indicates that the sensor is faulty, leading to inaccurate readings. If the temperature is high, the issue might be with the water pump, thermostat, or electric fan.

How to Check Fuel Consumption on the Geely Xingrui Dashboard?

The vehicle dashboard allows you to check the remaining fuel level via the fuel gauge display. The most common indicators are 'F' and 'E', where the closer the needle is to 'E', the more fuel remains. Use the steering wheel's scroll wheel or directional buttons to access the fuel consumption data in the trip computer. Note that the dashboard typically displays two types of fuel consumption. Instantaneous fuel consumption shows the vehicle's fuel usage over a short period. Since driving conditions constantly change, this value fluctuates rather than remaining at a fixed level. The remaining range indicates how many kilometers the vehicle can travel with the current fuel level. This is calculated by the onboard computer using various data points and serves as a reference.

What to Do When a CNG Vehicle Runs Out of Gas Midway?

Quickly pull over to the right side of the road to prevent safety hazards from stopping in the middle of the road. If the vehicle automatically switches to fuel-driven mode, you can continue driving. For CNG vehicles converted to dual-fuel (gasoline/CNG) systems, you can switch to gasoline mode to start the engine after running out of CNG. The fuel-driven mode can easily take you to the nearest CNG station. Consider finding another vehicle to rent a mini CNG tank from the station. After filling it, bring it back to your vehicle to add natural gas, which should be enough to reach the nearest CNG station. If none of the above methods are feasible, contact a tow truck to bring your vehicle to the nearest CNG station.

How to Locate Geely Automobile on a Mobile Phone?

Check whether the required positioning terminal accessories and wiring tools are complete. Note: Please ensure that the SIM card is inserted into the GPS positioning terminal when it is not powered on, otherwise the card may be burned. Connect the wires of various colors properly, ensuring that the connectors are not loose or exposed to water. The wiring process should follow standard automotive circuit wiring methods and must not be done carelessly. Common installation locations include behind the dashboard on the driver's or passenger's side, under the seats, and in the trunk, among other places. Report information such as the license plate number, terminal ID, and SIM card number to the company's customer service personnel for activation. Then, you can manage the vehicle's location on your mobile phone.

Does the Dash Cam Have Surveillance When the Car Is Not Running?

If it is a dash cam with parking surveillance, it can monitor the vehicle when parked. After the vehicle is parked and the engine is turned off, the dash cam will automatically shut down and enter a low-power sleep mode. However, when the vehicle is impacted or detects movement in front, it will immediately activate the parking surveillance function and capture the surrounding footage. This ensures the vehicle's safety monitoring while parked, while also conserving power consumption and preventing the risk of battery drain. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Structural Features: Dash cams with parking surveillance abandon the traditional power supply from cigarette lighters or USB ports, and instead draw power directly from the ACC fuse box via a step-down cable. 2. Usage Recommendation: Since dash cams with parking surveillance draw power directly from the ACC fuse box, the installation process is relatively more complex compared to traditional dash cams. Therefore, it is not recommended for car owners to install dash cams with parking surveillance features on their own.

Is It Normal to Have Engine Oil in the Exhaust Pipe?

Having engine oil in the exhaust pipe is not normal. The leakage of engine oil from the exhaust pipe is due to high crankshaft pressure. The causes and solutions for engine oil leakage from the exhaust pipe are as follows: 1. Cause: If engine oil drips from the exhaust pipe, it is generally due to cylinder blow-by or a blocked crankcase breather. Solution: Conduct a corresponding inspection and then replace the faulty part. 2. Cause: Check if the PVC one-way valve is blocked. Open the oil filler cap, start the engine, and check if the exhaust gas emitted from the oil filler cap is excessive. If it is, it might be due to piston ring blow-by, causing engine oil to spray from the exhaust pipe. Solution: Replace the piston rings. 3. Choose the right engine oil: Always select high-quality engine oil when maintaining your car. Good engine oil, especially fully synthetic oil, can protect the engine, reduce the frequency of oil changes, and save on fuel expenses.
