The spare tire for new energy vehicles is located under the spare tire mat in the trunk. Driving distance: Generally, a car can drive 30-50 kilometers with a non-full-size spare tire. A non-full-size spare tire is only for temporary use, and driving too long a distance can easily cause safety hazards. When replacing a non-full-size spare tire: Try not to drive too many miles, and do not drive too fast. You should choose a nearby repair shop to repair or replace the original tire. Try to install it on a non-driving wheel, otherwise it will affect the car's handling and easily cause safety hazards. Full-size spare tire meaning: A full-size spare tire is the same as the tire normally used on the car, and they can be freely replaced without affecting the car's driving. Non-full-size spare tires are narrower and smaller than the tires normally used on the car, so the cost is relatively low, and they are generally used more in mid- to low-end cars.

The location of the spare tire in new energy vehicles is actually quite interesting. Many new energy vehicles, such as electric cars and hybrids, don't come with a spare tire at all, mainly to save space for more batteries to increase range. If you're looking for a spare tire, it's usually hidden under the trunk floor or on the vehicle's underbody frame. However, it's now popular to replace it with a tire repair kit, which includes sealant and an air pump. In an emergency, you can simply inject the liquid into the tire to temporarily seal the leak. When I drove a new energy vehicle before, the manual said the spare tire was in the spare tire carrier, but you had to clear out all the clutter to see it. If the car really doesn't have a spare tire, it's recommended to check before driving. In case of a flat tire, these alternatives are more lightweight and efficient than dragging around an old spare tire. After all, less weight means lower energy consumption and a smoother ride.

What Are the Hazards of Filling Up the Fuel Tank in Summer?

Filling up the fuel tank can lead to poor fuel efficiency and high risks. The details are as follows: Hazards of filling up the fuel tank: Worse Fuel Economy: Studies show that for every 100kg increase in weight, a car's fuel consumption rises by 6-8%. If manufacturers didn't consider this, why not increase the tank capacity further? More fuel means greater vehicle mass, resulting only in higher fuel consumption. Increased Health Risks: Overfilling the tank causes liquid fuel to flow directly into the charcoal canister, damaging its vapor absorption function. Evaporated fuel gases (containing carcinogens like benzene) are released, posing long-term health hazards to passengers. Clogged Ventilation Holes: The small vent holes on the fuel tank cap are used to balance internal and external pressure. Once clogged by fuel, negative pressure builds up inside the tank. The fuel pump fails to draw fuel, leading to unstable fuel supply—causing the car to jerk or even fail to start.

Which mode is more fuel-efficient for a car with manual-automatic transmission?

For a manual-automatic transmission, the D (Drive) mode is the most fuel-efficient. If operated correctly, the M (Manual) mode can also be very fuel-efficient. Below is an introduction to the manual-automatic transmission: Introduction: A manual-automatic transmission combines manual and automatic shifting modes. This transmission integrates the advantages of both automatic and manual transmissions, minimizing power loss in the shifting system. The manual mode allows drivers to freely adjust gears and RPM according to their preferences, providing a thrilling and sporty driving experience with enhanced driving pleasure. Manual mode acceleration and overtaking techniques: Using manual mode for overtaking. Drivers familiar with automatic transmissions know that acceleration in automatic mode is not as responsive as in manual mode, especially when overtaking. In D mode, the speed does not increase rapidly even with heavy throttle input, as the transmission shifts sequentially. However, with a manual-automatic transmission, the situation is different. When accelerating to overtake, simply switch to manual mode without braking—just shift the gear lever into manual mode. Then, pressing the throttle firmly will result in a rapid speed increase, making overtaking smooth and effortless, with responsiveness comparable to a manual transmission.

What is the reason why the old Volkswagen POL cannot start after a power failure?

Possible causes include battery failure, fuel supply system failure, intake system failure, exhaust system failure, etc. Solution: When the car experiences such abnormal conditions, the main reason is usually a problem with the fuel pump, where the carbon brushes inside the fuel pump are stuck to the brush holder. Field solution: If you're on a trip and the car won't start, don't panic or worry. Remember to locate the tire wrench in the trunk or find a hard object like a stone or brick by the roadside. Then, crawl under the car to find the fuel tank. The fuel pump is located between the triangular brackets of the fuel tank.

Which Vehicle Has the Right of Way When Turning Left or Right?

Right-turning vehicles must yield to left-turning vehicles. Below are the specific rules regarding right-of-way: 1. Reason for right-turning vehicles yielding to left-turning vehicles: Left-turning vehicles spend more time navigating the intersection than right-turning vehicles, affecting other vehicles and pedestrians for a longer duration and being more susceptible to interference from other traffic. Therefore, right-turning vehicles should yield to left-turning vehicles. Failure to do so may cause traffic congestion at the intersection. 2. Right-of-way rules: When traffic signs or markings are present, yield to the vehicle with priority; in the absence of traffic signs or markings, stop and observe before entering the intersection, yielding to vehicles approaching from the right.
