For family cars, the fuel tank capacity is generally 35-45 liters for compact vehicles and around 55-75 liters for mid-size vehicles. Below are specific details about automobile fuel tank capacities: 1. Fuel gauge indicators: The dashboard fuel gauge typically has 5-6 segments, with each segment representing the remaining fuel capacity in the tank. Generally, when only two segments remain, it's time to refuel. 2. Measurement units: The international standard uses liters (L) as the unit for measuring automobile fuel tank capacity, with different countries having their own corresponding standards. 3. Relationship between engine displacement and tank volume: Typically, compact cars have 35-45 liter tanks while mid-size vehicles have approximately 55-75 liter tanks. A full tank usually allows for about 500 kilometers of driving. Lighter vehicles with smaller engine displacements tend to have proportionally smaller fuel tanks, while heavier vehicles with larger displacements have correspondingly larger fuel tanks.

How Many Years Are There for the Driving Test?

The validity period for the driving test is three years. Applicants must complete the Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests within this period. If they fail to complete the tests within the validity period, the passed subject scores will be invalidated. If they need to retake the test, applicants must re-register for the Subject 1 test. The order of the driving test subjects is as follows: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safety and civilization knowledge. During the test, if a candidate fails a subject, the subsequent subjects will not proceed. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there is one initial test and one retake opportunity, with a total of five retake chances. If the candidate still fails after five retakes, the current test session will be terminated.

What are the common interior decorations in a car?

Common interior decorations in a car include floor mats, headrests, seat covers, etc. Some car owners like to place model dolls inside the car, but it is recommended not to place anything on the dashboard of the front passenger seat, including dashboard sunshade pads, tissue boxes, small figurines, etc. A dashboard sunshade pad can obstruct the deployment of the front passenger airbag in the event of an accident, while tissue boxes and small figurines with edges or hard surfaces can carry significant energy when the airbag deploys, enough to shatter the windshield. It is important to check if the vehicle's seats have airbag markings. If they do, choose seat covers that do not obstruct the airbag deployment. Additionally, some higher-end models may have seats with ventilation functions. Choosing inappropriate seat covers could render the ventilation feature ineffective.

What does TPMS mean when displayed on the car dashboard?

The "TPMS" displayed on the car dashboard is the tire pressure warning light, which indicates that there is no signal from a certain tire pressure. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light comes on while driving, stay calm, do not panic, immediately reduce speed and avoid sharp steering and sudden braking, and check the tires immediately. Tire pressure monitoring light on due to a punctured tire: This situation usually involves a very slow leak in a tire, making it difficult to immediately identify which tire is affected. In this case, you can use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure (front tires at 2.3, rear tires at 2.5). If the pressure is low, refill it and then observe the tire pressure warning light. If the light comes on again after a few days, you may need to open the tire for inspection. At a 4S shop, maintenance personnel typically adjust the front tire pressure to 2.3 and the rear tire pressure to 2.4, then reset the tire pressure warning. If there is no warning for 3-4 days, there is no issue. If the warning reappears, it might indicate a punctured tire, requiring another visit to the 4S shop for inspection. Tire pressure monitoring light on due to prolonged driving with low tire pressure: This situation usually occurs when a tire's pressure is too low, causing the tire temperature to rise during high-speed operation, which in turn increases the tire pressure. In this case, you should stop and rest or replace the tire with a spare immediately.
