What does the tire size 205/55R16-91W mean?

205 represents the tire's section width of 205 millimeters, 55 represents the aspect ratio, R stands for radial tire, 16 indicates the rim diameter of 16 inches; 91 is the load index of the tire; W represents the speed rating of the tire. Example of tire size specifications (taking 195/55R15 as an example): 195 is the section width, which is the area of the tire that can contact the ground, measured in millimeters; 55 is the aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the tire's section height to its section width. R is the construction mark, where R stands for radial tire, and bias-ply tires are denoted by the letter "B". Passenger car tires are generally radial tires. 15 is the inner diameter of the tire, also the diameter of the wheel rim, usually measured in inches. Tires also have speed rating letters, indicating the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters from A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include Q for 160 km/h, R for 170 km/h, S for 180 km/h, H for 210 km/h, V for 240 km/h, W for 270 km/h, etc. Precautions for replacing car tires: When selecting tires, the specifications should be the same as the previous tires and must match the other tire on the same axle, such as speed rating, load index, tread pattern, brand, size, etc., to ensure safe driving. The valve should also be replaced because after changing the tire, the aging cycles of the new tire and the old valve may differ. During the new tire's lifespan, the valve might develop issues that are not easily noticeable, so it's best to replace the valve when changing the tire. Installation direction and inflation: If using the original equipment tire, follow the manufacturer's installation instructions. For non-original tires, the side with the production date usually faces outward. For directional tires, align the arrow on the wheel with the direction of the car's forward movement. When inflating, you can fill the tire to its maximum allowed pressure and then reduce it to the manufacturer's specified standard pressure.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Geely Panda in liters?

Geely Panda has a total of 49 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 35 liters. The vehicle is equipped with three types of naturally aspirated engines: 1.0L, 1.3L, and 1.5L, and comes with two transmission options: a 5-speed manual transmission and a 5-speed mechanical automatic transmission. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the automobile manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, and there is additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow from the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. If the owner wants to check the remaining fuel level, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it indicates that the fuel is running low, and when it is near F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Verna?

The fuel tank capacity of the Verna-2020 1.4L Manual GL Refreshed Edition is 43L. It is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (MT). The drivetrain is front-engine, front-wheel drive. The front suspension is a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension. In the same vehicle class, the Kia Pegas-2020 1.4L Automatic Comfort Sunroof Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 43L, and the Changan Yuexiang-2019 1.4L Manual Comfort China VI has a fuel tank capacity of 40L. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the nominal capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel volume may exceed the nominal tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while near F means the tank is sufficiently full.

What is the maximum wading depth of the 2020 Ford Explorer?

According to official information, the 2020 Ford Explorer has a maximum wading depth of 60 cm. Common tire specifications include 255/55R20 and 275/45R21, with a body height of 1778 mm, a curb weight of 1972-2104 kg, and it is a five-door, seven-seat SUV. The maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water a vehicle can safely pass through. Generally, the maximum wading depth for sedans does not exceed 30 cm, while SUVs can handle slightly deeper water, though it's best not to exceed 50 cm. Among common models, the GAC Trumpchi GS8 has a maximum wading depth of 30 cm, the Audi A4 has 32 cm, the Volkswagen Sagitar has 30 cm, the Land Rover Range Rover has 90 cm, the Jeep Compass has 48 cm, and the Toyota Highlander has 45 cm. SUVs clearly outperform many sedans in terms of wading depth. Generally, depending on the depth of water and the vehicle's specifications, drivers should take different precautions as follows: If the wading depth reaches the height of the exhaust pipe, it is still safe. Even if water enters the exhaust pipe, the pressure inside is sufficient to expel it, as long as the engine is not turned off in the water, preventing backflow into the vehicle. If the wading depth reaches the door frame height, it becomes more dangerous. The vehicle's circuits, electronic components, and sensors are mostly concentrated at the bottom, increasing the risk of short circuits that could damage critical electrical components and prevent the car from starting. If the wading depth reaches the height of the air intake, it is extremely dangerous. Driving directly into such conditions could cause the engine to stall, leading to permanent damage or rendering it unusable.

Is the Atenza compliant with China 6a or 6b?

The Atenza cannot be classified as either China 6a or 6b, and is generally referred to as a vehicle meeting the China 6 emission standards. Whether it is China 6a or 6b, both have passed the inspection by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and are road-legal vehicles. Additional Information: 1. Two Phases: The China 6 emission standard is divided into two phases: China 6a and China 6b. The first to be implemented was China 6a, from July 1, 2019, to July 1, 2021, while China 6b was implemented from July 1, 2021, to July 1, 2023. It is important to note that the initial implementation primarily targeted heavy-duty gas vehicles. As a result, the certificates of conformity for household vehicles currently do not specify whether they are China 6a or 6b compliant. At this stage, all China 6 vehicles are considered China 6a compliant, as there is still a transition period of several years before the full implementation of China 6b. 2. Transition Phase: The China 6a emission standard serves as a transitional phase between China 5 and China 6, adopting the strictest values of the China 5 standard to meet the preliminary requirements of China 6. Compared to China 5, China 6b is nearly twice as stringent in all aspects, with pollutant emission limits equivalent to "Euro 6," and evaporation emissions and OBD requirements approaching those of the United States. Its rigor is considered the highest in the world, making China 6b the true China 6 standard.
