RAV4 2.5 4WD has a combined fuel consumption of 5L/100km. There are currently 2 models of RAV4 2.5 4WD available for sale: the 4WD Elite PLUS version and the 4WD Flagship version, both with a fuel consumption of 5L/100km. The above figures are NEDC combined fuel consumption, which is the comprehensive fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The real fuel consumption is higher than this value, around 10L. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not releasing the throttle in advance when approaching a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means higher power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the injected gasoline is less likely to atomize during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

What are the new regulations for vehicle annual inspection in November 2020?

New regulations for vehicle annual inspection: Starting from November 20, 2020, non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles with 7-9 seats (excluding minivans) within 6 years of age will be included in the exemption scope; for non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) over 6 years but under 10 years old, the inspection cycle will be relaxed from once a year to once every two years. This means private cars will only need to undergo on-site inspections twice within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Inspection content: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether major assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records; Test whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lighting, exhaust, and other safety performance meet the requirements of the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles"; Check whether the vehicle has been modified, altered, or transformed, whether the driving license, license plate, and all registered vehicle records match the actual condition of the vehicle, whether there have been any changes, and whether approval and alteration procedures have been completed; Check whether the license plate, driving license, and enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether replacement is needed; For large vehicles, check whether the name of the unit or the street, township, or town where the vehicle is located and the maximum seating capacity in the cab are printed in Chinese imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required; For trucks, check whether the rear tailgate (including the trailer's rear tailgate) has the vehicle number enlarged 2-3 times and printed on the outside as required, and whether the word "individual" is printed on both sides of the door for individually or jointly owned vehicles. The characters must be clear, and unit codes or other patterns are not allowed (special circumstances require approval from the vehicle management office).

What is the maximum speed limit for sharp turns?

When making a U-turn, the maximum speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour. According to Article 46 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law", the following precautions must be observed: 1. Prohibited road sections or areas; driving is not allowed in road sections or areas prohibited by the public security traffic management department. 2. No entry into motor vehicle lanes; on roads with separation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or roads with demarcation lines between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes, entry into motor vehicle lanes is prohibited (except for temporary passage). 3. When passage is impossible; on roads without demarcation between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or when non-motor vehicle lanes are obstructed and impassable, vehicles may drive close to the edge of the road or the obstacle. 4. No reverse driving; vehicles must drive on the right side in the direction of travel and reverse driving is prohibited. 5. No carrying passengers; bicycles are not allowed to carry passengers on urban roads (except for one preschool child seated in a securely installed child seat). When passing through intersections controlled by traffic signals or crossing the road, pedestrian rules must be followed, and bicycles must be pushed.

What are the reasons for the high fuel consumption of the Hongyan Jieshi?

The reason for the high fuel consumption of the Hongyan Jieshi is that the vehicle's driving speed is relatively fast, which accelerates the rate of engine oil consumption. Below are detailed explanations regarding vehicle driving speed: 1. Overview: Vehicle driving speed refers to the distance a vehicle travels per unit of time, commonly referred to as speed, with common units being kilometers per hour or meters per second. Vehicle driving speed is one of the three parameters used to describe traffic flow and holds significant importance in traffic flow theory research. 2. Others: Vehicle driving speed can also broadly refer to the speed of motor vehicles. To suit different purposes, vehicle driving speed is mainly categorized into spot speed, segment speed, and design speed. Spot speed is the instantaneous speed of a vehicle passing a specific point on the road. Design speed is the speed established to determine the design indicators of various geometric elements of the road and to ensure their mutual coordination.

Why does the car jerk when warm but not when cold?

It may be due to low temperature issues. When the engine is not warm enough, more fuel is injected during cold starts to meet power requirements. Below is relevant information about car idling: 1. The function of car idling: Idling is an operating condition of a car, referring to the engine running in neutral gear. The engine speed during idling is called idle speed. Idle speed can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening size. Idling means the engine is "producing power without doing work." When the engine is running, if the accelerator pedal is fully released, the engine is in an idling state. 2. Reasons for unstable idling: Direct causes refer to mechanical components being dirty, worn, or incorrectly installed, leading to changes in cylinder power output, resulting in unbalanced power among cylinders and causing unstable engine idling; Indirect causes refer to abnormalities in the engine's electronic control system, leading to poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture, making it difficult to balance power among cylinders and causing unstable engine idling.

What Causes the Cadillac Engine Warning Light to Illuminate?

The engine warning light may illuminate due to the following 7 main reasons: Sensor malfunction: This includes sensors such as coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, and oxygen sensors. When these sensors are damaged, have poor connections, or experience signal interruptions, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, triggering the warning light. Fuel/oil quality issues: Failure to use fuel and engine oil as specified by the manufacturer may cause engine wear, leading to warning light activation. Poor fuel mixture combustion: Incomplete combustion can cause engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by oxygen sensors and reported to the ECU, the warning light will illuminate. Potential causes include spark plug failure, ignition coil malfunction, fuel pump issues, or clogged fuel lines. Turbocharger problems: Issues with the intake boost system or turbocharger may trigger the warning light. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, often accompanied by oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black exhaust smoke. Intake system issues: Air intake problems may lead to engine pipe blockages, potentially triggering the warning light. A dirty air filter that hasn't been regularly cleaned can cause intake problems. Exhaust system issues: Exhaust faults can also activate the warning light. Common causes include rear oxygen sensor failure, catalytic converter problems, or exhaust camshaft/bearing issues. Leaded gasoline, certain lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or fuel system malfunctions may cause catalytic converter failure. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the vehicle's electronic anti-theft system fails or doesn't properly communicate with the engine control unit, it may prevent normal engine operation and trigger the warning light. When the engine warning light illuminates, follow these steps: First, check if the engine is operating normally. If there's noticeable shaking, smoke emission, or other abnormalities (especially with a red warning light), do not restart the engine. If the engine can be started, turn off the ignition for 5-10 minutes. Then, without pressing the brake pedal, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the ON position (without engaging the clutch). The vehicle will perform a self-diagnosis for 5-10 seconds - observe if the warning light turns off. If the light remains on, visit a service center immediately. Technicians can use diagnostic tools to read trouble codes and perform targeted repairs.
