The fuel tank switch in the Odyssey is located under the driver's seat. Pull it to open the fuel tank cover, which has a capacity of 55 liters. Inside the fuel tank cover, there is a twist-off cap. Turn it counterclockwise to remove the cap for refueling. After refueling, screw the cap back on clockwise and then press the fuel tank cover back into place. The Odyssey is an MPV under GAC Honda, with dimensions of 4847mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1702mm in height. The vehicle is equipped with iSRS intelligent dual front airbags and side airbags for the front seats to buffer collision impacts. In the event of a side collision, these features effectively protect passengers and reduce injuries, further enhancing safety performance.

When driving an Odyssey, the fuel tank release is located near the driver's left leg, just below. There's a small plastic lever marked with a fuel tank icon—just give it a gentle pull to open the lid. I've driven several of these cars and initially struggled to find it, as it's quite discreet. It's right where your left knee would be when seated comfortably. I recommend new drivers take some time to familiarize themselves with its location while parked, rather than scrambling during refueling. Also, always check the seal around the fuel cap before filling up to prevent dust or water ingress, which could harm your vehicle. The Odyssey's simple, practical design beats fussy button-operated systems any day. Remember, the release is always inside the cabin—never outside—so drive with peace of mind. If unsure, consult the owner's manual. Stay calm; it gets easier with practice.

During driving and parking: Be cautious to avoid contact with oil, acids, flammable materials, and chemical corrosive substances, as they can lead to corrosion, deformation, and softening of the tires. 3.

What causes a manual transmission car to roll backward during uphill starts?

Rolling backward during an uphill start (hill start) is primarily caused by improper coordination between the throttle and clutch. Here are the key explanations: 1. Hill Start: This refers to the process of starting a vehicle on an uphill slope, also known as a half-slope start. It commonly occurs on urban overpasses or mountainous roads. Manual transmission vehicles frequently encounter this issue, whereas automatic transmission vehicles do not. 2. Hill Start Technique: The operation requires coordinated use of throttle, clutch, and handbrake. Shift into first gear, gradually release the clutch pedal while gently pressing the accelerator. When the clutch reaches the semi-engaged state, quickly release the handbrake, continue gently applying throttle, and fully release the clutch pedal to transition the vehicle into normal driving mode.

Why is there a loud air release sound when the turbocharger throttle is released?

Turbocharger throttle release produces a loud air release sound due to the operation of the blow-off valve. Here are the reasons: 1. Turbocharger working principle: When the turbocharger starts working upon throttle application, it compresses a large amount of air and pushes it through the throttle into the engine combustion chamber. When the driver releases the throttle pedal, the throttle closes. However, the turbocharger blades do not stop working immediately, leaving residual compressed air in the intake pipe between the turbocharger and the throttle. If this air is not released promptly, the high pressure can damage the throttle and turbocharger blades. 2. Blow-off valve function: The blow-off valve opens when it detects excessive air pressure in the intake pipe, releasing the residual compressed air to protect the throttle and turbocharger blades. This also reduces turbo lag, making the engine run more smoothly. The air release sound you hear is the 'noise' generated when the blow-off valve discharges the compressed air.
