Geely Emgrand's fuel tank release button is located under the driver's seat. How to open the car fuel tank: The fuel tank can generally be opened in three ways: using the key, pressing the interior release button, or directly pressing the fuel tank cap. Currently, the more common methods are using the interior release button or pull lever, but this can easily lead to refueling without turning off the engine. This type of switch is usually located on the left side of the driver's seat. There is also the most convenient method of directly pressing the fuel tank cap to open it, allowing the gas station attendant to refuel directly, which brings great convenience to the owner but also carries certain risks. Therefore, owners of cars with this direct press-to-open feature must ensure the car is locked when parked. This type of switch is generally located under the driver's seat. Fuel tank capacity: Fuel tank capacity (L) refers to the size of the fuel tank, measuring a car's ability to hold fuel. The fuel tank capacity determines the driving range. For two cars with identical engines, the one with the larger fuel tank can travel farther.

When I first started driving the Geely Emgrand, I also spent a lot of time searching for the fuel tank button. After some effort, I finally figured it out. Usually, it's located on the door frame next to the driver's seat, towards the lower left side, in a rather discreet position—it looks like a small button or lever. The first time I drove, I had to bend down and take a closer look to find it near the lower left part of the center console, close to the foot pedals. My advice is to first sit firmly in the driver's seat and reach around to feel for it—don’t rush to pry open the fuel cap. Also, always turn off the engine when refueling to ensure safety. Once you get familiar with this button, it’s really convenient. Before refueling, you can also take the opportunity to check the interior cleanliness and keep the button clean to prevent jamming. This design considers one-handed operation for the driver, which is quite user-friendly. If you encounter similar issues, the owner’s manual also provides illustrated guidance.

Why is the car loud when starting?

It is normal for a car to be loud when starting. During a cold start, the engine oil pressure takes time to build up, resulting in poorer lubrication and thus louder noise. Additionally, after a cold start, the engine runs at a higher idle speed to reach the optimal operating temperature quickly, which may make the noise seem louder. The noise will gradually decrease as the idle speed drops until it disappears. Here is some related information about idle speed: 1. Introduction: Idle speed is an operating condition of a car where the engine runs in neutral gear. The engine speed during idle is called the idle speed, which can be adjusted by modifying the throttle opening. Idle speed means the engine is "working but not producing output." 2. Driving idle: When the car is in gear without pressing the accelerator pedal or when the accelerator pedal is released while driving, maintaining the minimum throttle opening, the engine speed matches the parking idle speed. This state is referred to as driving idle.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Qin PLUS DM-i?

The BYD Qin PLUS DM-i has a fuel tank capacity of 48 liters, as officially announced by the manufacturer. This information can also be found in the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Qin PLUS DM-i uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 3.8L per 100 kilometers, allowing a maximum range of 1263 kilometers on a full tank. The BYD Qin PLUS DM-i measures 4765*1837*1495 mm in length, width, and height respectively, with a wheelbase of 2718 mm. It is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine that delivers a maximum power of 81 kW at 6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 135 Nm at 4500 rpm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The electric motor paired with this engine produces a maximum power of 132 kW and a maximum torque of 316 Nm. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The MacPherson suspension is known for its simple structure, compact size, and low cost. The torsion beam rear suspension helps to maximize rear passenger space and trunk capacity. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel gauge accurately reflects the fuel level. 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 unexpectedly. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated 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 safely when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueling volume may exceed the specified tank capacity.

What are the symptoms of a damaged catalytic converter in a car?

A damaged catalytic converter can manifest the following symptoms in a car: 1. The exhaust emits a strange and unpleasant odor. 2. The car engine overheats and experiences premature excessive wear. 3. The car engine lacks power and produces abnormal noises. The catalytic converter is an external purification device installed in the car's exhaust system, which converts harmful carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides from the car's exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. The causes of catalytic converter damage include: 1. Blockage due to deposits from ethanol gasoline, sulfur-phosphorus chemical complexes, or lead-manganese metal deposits, as well as melting and blockage of the ceramic substrate caused by engine exhaust flames. 2. Loss of activity of the surface precious metals, rendering them unable to catalyze reactions. 3. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures, leading to thermal deactivation.

What are the three filters in routine car maintenance?

In routine car maintenance, the three filters include engine oil, air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter. Car maintenance cycle: The maintenance cycle of a car is set when the vehicle leaves the factory, so the "wrench" symbol will appear every certain mileage to remind the driver to perform maintenance in time. Generally, the maintenance cycle for a car is every 5,000–8,000 kilometers, and the factory-set cycle is usually slightly longer than 8,000 kilometers. Routine maintenance items: Engine oil maintenance: Engine oil, also known as lubricating oil, can reduce engine wear and also has cooling and lubricating effects on the engine. There are three types of engine oil: Full synthetic oil: Needs replacement every 10,000–12,000 kilometers. If the car is not driven frequently, the oil may emulsify and lose its effectiveness, requiring replacement after about a year. Semi-synthetic oil: Needs replacement every 8,000–10,000 kilometers. Mineral oil: Needs replacement every 5,000 kilometers.

What Causes Weak Acceleration in Automatic Transmission Vehicles?

Weak acceleration during vehicle startup may be caused by issues with the engine or transmission, which are fault-related problems that require timely troubleshooting. It could also be due to the vehicle having a small displacement while being heavily loaded. Many modern vehicles adopt a small-displacement turbocharged power configuration, and the turbo may not reach the necessary boost RPM during initial acceleration, resulting in a perceived lack of power—this is a normal phenomenon. Carbon buildup is a major culprit behind insufficient engine power and weak acceleration. Carbon deposits on the throttle body can restrict air intake; buildup on spark plugs can impair ignition; and deposits on fuel injectors can affect fuel spraying. Overheated carbon deposits may even cause pre-ignition, leading to weak acceleration. Therefore, it is advisable to first clean the engine's carbon deposits before investigating other potential causes of poor acceleration. Transmission clutch failure can also cause weak acceleration. The clutch is responsible for transmitting and disengaging engine power. Manual transmissions and dual-clutch transmissions use friction plate clutches, which wear out over time, leading to severe slippage and consequently weak acceleration. Additionally, dirty or insufficient transmission fluid can result in poor acceleration. For automatic transmissions, the fluid not only lubricates but also serves as the hydraulic medium for components like the clutch and gear-shifting mechanisms. Contaminated or low fluid levels will impair these systems' performance. During idle-start acceleration, the turbocharger's air pressure is weaker than the natural suction from cylinder movement, effectively making the engine operate like a small-displacement naturally aspirated unit—hence the normal sensation of weak power. When engine RPM exceeds 1,000, the turbo's boost pressure surpasses the cylinder's suction pressure, at which point the turbocharger truly activates. The RPM threshold where turbo pressure exceeds cylinder suction is called the turbo engagement speed. The moment the turbo engages, the car exhibits noticeable thrust, but this engagement RPM varies by manufacturer. Generally, smaller-displacement engines have lower engagement speeds to ensure power delivery and reduce turbo lag.
