The differences between having the fuel tank on the left and right sides: 1. Driving direction regulations: Left-hand traffic and right-hand traffic. The position of the fuel filler port is directly related to these two different driving rules. 2. Road safety considerations: The fuel filler port is positioned diagonally opposite the driver's seat to prevent accidents during refueling. 3. Balancing vehicle weight: Placing the fuel tank diagonally opposite the driver's position helps balance the overall weight distribution of the vehicle. 4. Improving refueling efficiency: Different vehicle models have different fuel tank cap positions, which can also improve refueling efficiency and save more queuing time.

What is the emission standard for the 2012 Sagitar?

The emission standard for the 2012 Sagitar is China IV. Below are the methods to check the emission standard: 1. Check the vehicle conformity certificate: Every car comes with a vehicle conformity certificate upon leaving the factory, one certificate per vehicle, which clearly states the vehicle's emission standard. 2. Look for the 'Vehicle Information' in the 'Vehicle List': The vehicle emission standard can be found in the 'Vehicle Information' section. 3. Check the Certificate of Conformity: This comes with the purchase of a new car and includes 'Exhaust Emissions,' indicating the corresponding emission standard. For example, if it shows GB18352.5-2013, GB18352 is the national standard for vehicle emissions, and the '5' indicates the fifth stage, meaning it meets the China V emission standard. 4. Query on the Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Website: You can directly visit the official website of Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection and find the 'Public Query Platform' at the bottom of the homepage. Enter the vehicle's VIN and the last six digits of the engine number to query. It's important to note that while relevant information can usually be found on the vehicle's registration certificate, it does not explicitly state the emission standard (e.g., China IV or V). 5. Check the vehicle's environmental protection label: There will be a clear mark on the back of the environmental protection label on the car's front windshield, indicating the vehicle's emission standard. Alternatively, you can take the vehicle registration certificate to the DMV for a query.

Does the 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission require oil change?

7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission requires oil change. Regardless of the type of transmission, the transmission fluid needs to be replaced during use to ensure the transmission operates normally. The replacement cycle for transmission fluid used in vehicles is every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. The specific replacement time should be determined according to the vehicle's user manual and also based on the vehicle's usage conditions. If the vehicle is frequently used, it is recommended to replace the transmission fluid earlier. Transmission fluid refers to the oil products that keep the transmission system clean and can protect the transmission. Depending on the transmission structure, transmission fluids are divided into automatic transmission fluid and manual transmission fluid. Using high-quality transmission fluid can ensure the normal operation of the transmission, extend its service life, and improve its working efficiency.

Where is the handbrake located in an automatic transmission car?

In an automatic transmission car, the handbrake is located next to the gear lever. The position of the handbrake varies depending on the car model, with some located to the left of the foot brake. The parking brake type refers to the operation method of the parking brake. Currently, the operation methods of parking brakes in passenger cars can be divided into three types: handbrake, foot brake, and electronic parking brake. The handbrake uses a steel wire cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the car. Long-term use of the handbrake will cause the steel wire to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, long-term use will reduce its effectiveness, and the handbrake's travel will also increase. When using the handbrake, avoid pulling it up quickly every time you park. Be careful not to pull it to the end, as excessive stretching of the metal or prolonged stretching will accelerate deformation, leading to faster deterioration of the handbrake cable's braking performance.

What Impact Will Insufficient Engine Oil Have on the Engine?

If the engine oil is insufficient, it can cause more severe damage to the engine. All internally lubricated components such as the camshaft, crankshaft, cylinder liner, bearings, etc., may be damaged. Continuing to drive a car with insufficient oil can cause significant harm to the engine. In mild cases, it may lead to cylinder scoring or burning out the crankshaft and bearings, while in severe cases, it can result in complete engine failure, affecting the vehicle's lifespan and driving safety. Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, providing certain new characteristics, making them an essential part of the lubricant.
