There are three situations, namely the fuel gauge pointer sometimes fast and sometimes slow, the fuel gauge suddenly drops to zero, and the fuel gauge scale rises. Fuel gauge pointer sometimes fast and sometimes slow: This situation is very common, usually manifested as the fuel gauge pointer drops slowly in the first half of the fuel gauge, and after passing the middle scale, the fuel gauge pointer will drop quickly. However, the fuel gauge pointer sometimes fast and sometimes slow cannot be said to be a fault, because it is related to the design of the fuel pump used to reflect the fuel quantity, it cannot uniformly reflect the gasoline consumption, because this uniform change is difficult to achieve, and it is also impossible to change through maintenance or replacement of parts. Fuel gauge suddenly drops to zero: The indication of the fuel gauge depends on the fuel level sensor. When this situation occurs, it means that the fuel level sensor of the vehicle has a problem. It is very likely that the fuel level sensor is contaminated and not cleaned in time. It should be known that gasoline contains many impurities, and the fuel level sensor has been soaked in it for a long time, and it will be polluted over time, directly affecting the accuracy of the indication. Fuel gauge scale rises: This situation is because the connecting rod between the fuel level sensor and the float is stuck, and the float cannot move up and down normally, causing the fuel level sensor not to change, so the fuel gauge pointer is fixed at a certain position.

Can the Pedestrian Protection Device Trigger an Insurance Claim?

Yes, it can be claimed through insurance. Relevant information about the pedestrian protection system is as follows: 1. Collision Buffer Protection System: The Accord is equipped with an active hinge at the end of the engine hood. When a collision with a pedestrian occurs, the hinge causes the engine hood to sink, thereby achieving a buffering effect to reduce injury. Additionally, the front fenders and bumper are designed with extra space for collision impact, also serving as a buffer. It can be said that among all vehicle types, mid-size cars are relatively easier to implement pedestrian protection because their body dimensions (including the front-end size) can basically ensure that the head contact position during a pedestrian collision is near the center of the windshield. This allows for reducing the head injury index by modifying the energy-absorbing design in this area. Therefore, many mid-size cars fully utilize this feature in their safety designs. 2. Active Hood System: Utilizing hood pop-up technology, the engine hood bulges instantly during a collision, ensuring that the human body does not hit the hard car shell but instead contacts a soft and smooth surface. Upon detecting a pedestrian collision, the vehicle automatically activates the hood pop-up control module, and the equipped ejection device instantly raises the engine hood, effectively placing an air cushion beneath the person as they fall.

Can 92 Octane Fuel Be Replaced with 95?

92 octane fuel can be replaced with 95 gasoline. The differences between 92 and 95 gasoline are as follows: 1. Different content: There is no difference in quality between 92 and 95 gasoline, the quality is the same. 2. Different prices: 95 gasoline is slightly more expensive than a tank of 92 gasoline. 3. Different power: 95 gasoline with higher octane is suitable for engines with higher compression ratios. Here is some extended information about gasoline types: 1. The octane rating of gasoline depends on the octane number, for example, 92 gasoline indicates that its research octane number is not less than 92. The choice of different octane ratings for engines mainly depends on whether the compression ratio matches the octane number of the gasoline. 2. The so-called 92, 95, and 98 unleaded gasoline means that they contain 92%, 95%, and 98% of "isooctane" with strong anti-knock ability, respectively, that is, they contain 8%, 5%, and 2% of "n-heptane" with poor anti-knock ability, respectively. 3. More straightforwardly, the higher the octane rating, the more octane the gasoline contains, and the stronger its anti-knock ability.

What are the precautions for driving an automatic transmission car?

Precautions for driving an automatic transmission car are: 1. Automatic transmission cars have protection and interlock functions for dangerous actions. You can freely switch between D gear and N gear, but switching from D gear to R gear or P gear incorrectly can be dangerous; 2. When parked on a steep slope where gravity exceeds the power at idle speed, the car may roll back. You should use the handbrake to start; 3. Prolonged coasting in neutral can lead to insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic lines of the automatic transmission, increasing friction, reducing lubrication effectiveness, and damaging the friction plates inside the transmission; 4. When parking or idling for a long time, first press the brake and shift to N gear, engage the handbrake and release the brake pedal. After the vehicle is completely stopped, shift to P gear.

What is the difference between 110 horsepower and 131 horsepower?

110 horsepower and 131 horsepower difference is: 110 horsepower has slower engine response speed compared to 131 horsepower. Horsepower is a commonly used unit of power measurement in engineering. The horsepower of a car refers to the engine's power unit, which is the engine's ability to perform work per unit of time, serving as a measure of the car engine's performance. Factors related to car horsepower include: 1. Displacement, the volume of gas expelled by the engine in one revolution; 2. Compression ratio, the volume of the cylinder at the bottom dead center divided by the volume at the top dead center; 3. Turbocharging, which increases intake pressure; 4. Boosting system.

How is the transmission of the Binyue?

Geely Binyue is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The design and operation logic of the electronic gear shift lever are quite futuristic, and the sports version comes with paddle shifters. The chassis adopts a front MacPherson and rear torsion beam suspension structure. This dual-clutch transmission, also developed and produced jointly by Volvo and Geely, offers excellent handling feel. Here are the specific details about the Binyue: 1. The Binyue is paired with a 7-speed DCT wet dual-clutch transmission. The compact gear lever design is very futuristic, and the sports version also features steering wheel paddle shifters, giving it a very sporty style. The smoothness of the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is commendable. During brief track experiences, there were no noticeable vibrations or jerks. When accelerating, the transmission downshifts very actively and intelligently, making driving the Binyue more effortless. 2. In terms of power, the Binyue is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder turbocharged direct-injection engine jointly developed by Geely and Volvo, delivering a maximum power of 130kW (177PS) and a peak torque of 255N·m. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
