About coasting downhill with the engine off, the incorrect statement is that coasting downhill utilizes the slope's potential to propel the vehicle forward without the engine working, which can save fuel and should be strongly advocated. Additional information: Engine-off downhill: When the engine is off downhill, the vehicle loses engine braking resistance, and the power steering system also loses its power source, making brake failure extremely dangerous. Do not turn off the engine or shift into neutral when going downhill. If the engine stalls and the vehicle is in neutral while going downhill, it can easily lead to loss of control and accelerated wear of the brake pads. Forced downshifting: Do not turn off the engine to save fuel on downhill sections. If the vehicle stalls abnormally, for manual transmission vehicles, forced downshifting can be chosen, or the handbrake can be gradually applied using a method of pulling tight, releasing, pulling tight, and releasing repeatedly to bring the vehicle to a stop.

How many kilometers can a Honda Fit travel on a full tank of gas?

Honda Fit can travel more than 500 kilometers on a full tank of gas, with a fuel tank capacity of about 60 liters. It is not accurate for car owners to judge the fuel tank capacity based on the fuel gauge warning light coming on. The following are precautions for refueling Honda Fit: 1. Never refuel the car before turning off the engine. 2. Never start the car before the gas station staff closes the fuel gun, otherwise it may easily cause a fire. 3. It is best not to refuel during thunderstorms. Since automobile fuel is a flammable gas, flammable fuel vapor can easily disperse into the surrounding air during refueling. If struck by lightning, the consequences would be unimaginable.

How many kilometers does the Magotan spark plug need to be replaced?

Magotan spark plugs need to be replaced every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. It is recommended to replace spark plugs regularly during daily use, as they are a wearable part that requires periodic replacement. Spark plugs, commonly known as spark electrodes, function by discharging the high-voltage pulse electricity sent from the high-voltage wire, breaking down the air between the two electrodes to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the mixed gas in the cylinder. In terms of dimensions, the Magotan has a body length, width, and height of 4866mm, 1832mm, and 1464mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2812mm.
