What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2016 Baojun 730?

The fuel tank capacity of the 2016 Baojun 730 is 52 liters. The powertrain of the Baojun 730 still consists of a 1.5T manual transmission and a 1.8L AMT. This 1.5T engine is independently developed by Wuling. The engine block of Wuling uses cast iron, while Buick uses aluminum. The fuel supply method of Wuling is multi-point injection. The characteristic of this 1.5T engine lies in its abundant low-end torque. From the moment of starting, the briskness of the power has surpassed the previous 1.8L engine. In comparison, the fuel tank capacity of the Lingzhi 2022 M5 in the same class is 55 liters, and the Wuling Hongguang PLUS 2021 commercial version has a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safety level. There is still some space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space is reserved to ensure that the fuel in the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the safety space of the tank. If the fuel is filled to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount will be larger than the calibrated fuel tank capacity. If the owner wants to know the remaining fuel in the tank, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, which is marked with E and F. When the pointer is close to E, it means the fuel is almost empty, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel is sufficient.

Key Reference Points for 90-Degree Left Turn Techniques

90-degree turn is an assessment point in Subject 2 of the driver's license test, evaluating the driver's ability to correctly operate steering and accurately judge the inner/outer wheel track difference when driving through sharp turns. Engage first gear, release handbrake, slowly lift clutch to maintain semi-engagement for steady forward movement. Key reference points are as follows: Entry: Align the "exam" character with the right boundary line, maintaining about 30cm distance between vehicle body and the line, then drive into the corner. Left Turn: When the left rearview mirror aligns with the inner corner of the turn (or when the hood covers the yellow line ahead), turn the steering wheel left and continue forward. Exit: When the vehicle hood aligns with the exit, quickly straighten the steering wheel and proceed. After the vehicle completely exits the corner, the 90-degree turn is completed.

Can a New Car Be Driven on the Highway During the Break-in Period?

New cars can be driven on the highway during the break-in period, but it is necessary to control the speed and engine RPM. Generally, the speed of a new car on the highway should not exceed 100 km/h, and the engine RPM should be kept below 3000. It is also advisable to avoid overloading during the break-in period. For new cars in the break-in phase, urban roads are relatively better as the complex conditions allow for thorough vehicle conditioning. Requirements for driving during the break-in period: 1. Maintain smooth starts, avoid sudden acceleration, and do not let the engine RPM get too high; 2. Before starting, ensure the coolant temperature reaches at least 50°C; 3. Shift gears promptly while driving—avoid prolonged use of a single gear, and do not drive at low speeds in high gears or vice versa; 4. Choose good road surfaces to prevent excessive vibration, impact, or emergency braking; 5. Use high-quality fuel and engine oil, and avoid using engine wear additives.

Should a straight-going vehicle yield to a right-turning vehicle?

Straight-going vehicles have the right of way. When a straight-going vehicle is traveling on the main road and a right-turning vehicle is preparing to merge from the auxiliary road into the main road, the straight-going vehicle on the main road has priority. If there is a right-turn guiding lane and signal, and the right-turning vehicles are released before the straight-going vehicles, the straight-going vehicles must yield to the turning vehicles. In other words, if both right-turning and straight-going vehicles have a green light, but the right-turning vehicles are released first, the straight-going vehicles must yield to the right-turning vehicles. Below are the relevant regulations: Relevant regulations: When a motor vehicle approaches an intersection without traffic signals or traffic police directing traffic, it must stop and look before entering the intersection, yielding to vehicles coming from the right. At intersections controlled by traffic signals: At intersections with designated lanes, vehicles must enter the appropriate lane based on their intended direction; vehicles preparing to enter a roundabout must yield to vehicles already in the roundabout.

What is the reason for the one-touch power window not working?

The sudden failure of the one-touch window function is likely caused by a momentary loose connection or power interruption in related components. Simply resetting the one-touch window function should resolve the issue. Here is some relevant information: Car Window: The car window is an essential part of the vehicle body, designed to meet the needs of interior lighting, ventilation, and visibility for drivers and passengers. Location: Windows are categorized based on their installation positions: front and rear windshields, side windows, and door windows. The design, structure, and quality of car windows significantly impact the driver's visibility, passenger comfort, aesthetic appearance, and aerodynamic characteristics. Typically, car windows are constructed as curved, sealed units. Rubber sealing strips are used to connect the window frame and the glass, providing both sealing and cushioning effects to prevent damage to the windshield in case of body deformation under stress.
