When driving, to slow down, first gently press the brake to reduce speed, then press the clutch when the engine RPM drops below 1000 to prevent the car from stalling. Below are some related introductions about slowing down: 1. Emergency braking: In emergency situations where the vehicle needs to be stopped in the shortest distance and time, do not consider unnecessary factors like engine braking. Simply press both the clutch and brake pedals to the floor simultaneously. This cuts off all engine power while the vehicle's ESP and ABS systems allow the wheels to move in a semi-rolling, semi-sliding state, maximizing traction to bring the vehicle to a stop. 2. Deceleration at 30km/h or below: You can directly press the clutch and use the brake to slow down. At lower speeds, the gear is also lower, and the engine's traction force is relatively strong. Therefore, pressing the clutch cuts off the power; if you don't release the clutch while slowing down, it might cause the engine to stall.

What is the fuel tank capacity in liters for the Mazda CX-4 2.0L?

The fuel tank capacity of the Mazda CX-4 2.0L model is 45 liters. This data is officially released, and owners who have purchased the Mazda CX-4 can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Mazda CX-4 2.0L requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel allows for a driving range of approximately 714 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. In actual refueling situations, the amount of fuel filled may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This extra space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
