Press the fuel tank cap lightly and it will pop open automatically. Refueling precautions: 1. When refueling: The engine should be turned off, do not make phone calls or play with mobile phones, and do not use open flames in the gas station. Do not make phone calls or play with mobile phones in the gas station. When refueling, always turn off the engine. If there are many people, you should queue up, and when queuing, be careful not to cut in line and maintain order. 2. When choosing fuel: When refueling, always choose gas stations with better fuel quality, and avoid those with poor fuel quality. If you use very low-quality gasoline for a long time, it will lead to increased carbon deposits in the engine. Not only should you choose gas stations with better fuel quality, but you should also select the correct gasoline grade.

I've been driving for over a decade, and the fuel tank cap switch is never in the same place. My old Volkswagen had a small lever near the driver's left foot—just pull it to open. Later, when I switched to a Toyota, it was hidden under the steering wheel like an inconspicuous button. Domestic cars take it even further; for example, the Haval H6 hides it in the door panel storage compartment. Last week, when I helped a neighbor move his car, his Tesla didn’t even have a physical switch—just unlock the car and press the fuel cap to pop it open. My advice is to ask the salesperson to point it out when you pick up a new car or check page 57 of the manual—there’s usually an illustration there. Oh, and if the switch doesn’t respond, chances are the wiring got crushed under the floor mat. Last time, I watched a mechanic at the dealership spend two whole hours dismantling the center console to reconnect the wires.

When to Turn on the Width Lights?

Width lights should be turned on when it is not completely dark yet, to make the vehicle visible to others. Width lights are indicators installed on vehicles to show the width of the car and are commonly used lights. When the width lights are on, the distance between the two beams is roughly the same as the width of the vehicle. If you are unsure whether your car can pass through a narrow alley, you can turn on the width lights. To indicate the width of the car and alert other vehicles and pedestrians, turning the light switch to the first position will activate the small lights at the front and rear, which are the width lights. Other commonly used vehicle lights include: 1. Headlights, which are installed on both sides of the front of the car and are used for illuminating the road during nighttime driving; 2. Turn signals, which are important indicators turned on when the vehicle is changing direction to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians.

When buying a used car that was previously owned by one individual, the invoice required for the transfer of ownership is the original car invoice; 2. When inspecting the original invoice, pay attention to whether the name of the vehicle owner on the original invoice matches that on the vehicle registration certificate. If they do not match, the car may be of unknown origin or the invoice may be problematic; 3. Also, check whether the invoice is stamped with the verification seal of the Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce. If the invoice is found to be unstamped, you need to obtain a certificate from the original new car sales unit before the transfer of ownership, and then have the verification seal stamped by the Administration for Industry and Commerce.

Can 98 and 95 gasoline be mixed together?

98 and 95 gasoline cannot be mixed together, as mixing gasoline can cause engine knocking. 98 gasoline is composed of 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane, while 95 gasoline is composed of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. The anti-knock property refers to the ability of gasoline to resist knocking combustion under various usage conditions. The difference between 98 and 95 mainly lies in the purity of isooctane. The higher the purity of isooctane, the stronger the anti-knock property of the gasoline. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from the fractional distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis of petroleum, and it can be used as fuel.
