Solutions for a fuel tank cap that won't pop open: 1. If the fuel tank cap is stuck or rusted, you can gently pry it or tap it while pressing the fuel tank cap switch to open it; 2. Some vehicles are equipped with an emergency fuel tank cap release, usually located under a panel on the side of the fuel tank cap in the trunk. Pull the emergency handle firmly while pressing the fuel tank cap to open it; 3. If the fuel tank cap spring has lost its elasticity, you can install a small spring on the rubber pad of the fuel tank protrusion to increase the elasticity between the fuel tank cap and the locking device; 4. In cold weather, the fuel tank cap may not open due to freezing. Choose an appropriate method based on the conditions, such as pouring hot water or forcing it open.

What is the fuel consumption of the Changan Yuexiang 1.5 automatic transmission?

Changan Yuexiang 1.5 automatic transmission has a fuel consumption of approximately 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers. Below is a brief introduction about the Changan Yuexiang: 1. Exterior: The first-generation Yuexiang has a rather plain appearance. The proportions of the front and body reveal a sense of immaturity, as if designed by someone accustomed to cartoon animation, making it easily blend into the crowd and not very eye-catching. 2. Interior: The tactile and visual feel is quite firm; tapping on the plastic parts does not produce a hollow sound, indicating that the plastic quality is above average. It features faux leather seats, a sunroof, a decently sized central control screen, and electric rearview mirror adjustment. Overall, it doesn’t feel too "basic," as it comes with all the essential configurations. 3. Powertrain: The Yuexiang is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed dual-clutch transmission. This 1.5L engine produces a torque of 145 Nm.

Which lane is the left three lanes?

The left three lanes refer to the three lanes on the left side of the entire road. Below is an introduction to lane markings: 1. Deceleration warning lines: Deceleration markings can be divided into horizontal deceleration markings and vertical deceleration markings. These are white dashed lines set up in toll plaza areas, exit ramps, or other sections where vehicle deceleration is required. They come in forms such as single dashed lines, double dashed lines, and triple dashed lines, perpendicular to the direction of travel. 2. Channelizing lines: Channelizing lines are generally very noticeable, mainly to alert drivers that there may be obstacles ahead. Vehicles must follow the designated route and must not cross the lines, nor should they stop within the channelizing line area. 3. Variable lanes: Variable direction lanes are marked with multiple diagonal lines inside the lane, somewhat resembling a lying-down 'non' character. As the name suggests, these lanes can change their indicated direction at any time based on traffic flow.

How to Determine the Number of Axles?

The method to determine the number of axles is: 1. An axle is the bearing connecting two wheels, also known as a bridge. Each pair (upper and lower) of tires is essentially connected by an axle, and the number of axles refers to the count of these connecting bars; 2. A single-axle vehicle has only one axle, meaning it has only one pair of tires (two tires); 3. The small cars commonly seen in daily life usually have four tires, with each pair connected by one axle, so the number of axles in a small car is 2. The concept of axle count is mainly applied to cargo trucks, military vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, or a small number of large buses. The automobile axle (also known as the axle) is connected to the frame (or load-bearing body) through the suspension, with wheels installed at both ends.
