Switch is located near the steering wheel. Reasons for gasoline-to-gas conversion: Gasoline prices have been rising continuously, while gas prices are relatively cheaper. For drivers, the cost of fuel is significant, resulting in much lower profits. Conversely, using gas can save a considerable amount of money, naturally leading to higher income. Precautions for gasoline-to-gas conversion: The gas fuel supply system should have effective safety protection structural measures to prevent gas leakage. Each vehicle's gas cylinder outlet (liquid) should have a fuel flow restriction function to ensure automatic closure in case of leakage, rupture, or breakage in the fuel supply pipeline behind it. Therefore, drivers need to pay attention to the vehicle's condition after gasoline-to-gas conversion.

I've been driving a petrol-to-LPG converted car for several years, and the switch position is quite common, usually placed where the driver can easily operate it. My car is modified, with the switch located at the lower left corner of the dashboard, next to the steering wheel—a small red button. The conversion technician explained that this placement is for easy switching while driving, but the position can vary significantly depending on the car model and conversion plan: some are in a small area above the center console, inside the glove compartment, or in the storage compartment on the right side of the steering wheel. Why put it there? Safety is the top priority, to prevent accidental touches by children or passengers, while also ensuring quick switching from petrol to gas. If you can't find it, I recommend checking the conversion manual or looking for any labels inside the car. Also, a reminder: use petrol mode during cold starts to protect the engine, then switch to gas after the car warms up—it saves money and is eco-friendly. Remember to regularly check if the switch connection is secure to avoid potential gas leaks.

With years of experience in automotive modification and repair, I can confirm that the switch position is never fixed. In petrol-to-LPG converted vehicles, the switch often serves as the manual control for gas flow, and its location depends on modification specifics: most commonly near the driver's seat, such as on the steering column or inside a small drawer under the dashboard. From my experience, owners tend to position it in easily accessible yet protected areas to prevent accidental activation. For instance, in some retrofitted older models, the switch is hidden in a small recess below the door handle—just press to toggle. Why this arrangement? Safety regulations demand both accessibility and discreet placement. If you can't locate it, don't panic—first check the conversion certificate or contact the original workshop, as they keep schematic diagrams. When starting the vehicle, always warm up the engine in petrol mode before switching to gas to prolong engine life. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the switch are crucial to prevent jamming.

As a regular driver new to CNG-converted vehicles, I was initially confused by the switch location. In my car, it's right next to the AC controls on the center console, resembling a rotary dial. Post-conversion placement varies: common spots include around the steering wheel, inside the glovebox, or beneath the instrument panel. Safety design dictates it should be accessible yet inconspicuous to prevent accidental switching. Always start the engine in petrol mode, then switch to gas once stable. Can't find it? Consult your manual or ask experienced drivers.

How many liters of engine oil should be added to the Lavida 1.5?

The Lavida 1.5 requires 4 liters of engine oil. Diesel Engine Oil: There are two main factors in selecting the quality grade of diesel engine lubricating oil. First, based on the combined mechanical and thermal load of the automobile engine, represented by the intensification coefficient; second, according to the severity of the engine's operating conditions. Gasoline Engine Oil: The appropriate performance grade (quality grade) of gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the severity of the engine's operating conditions, additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems of imported vehicles, and the production year. Generally speaking, a higher quality grade can replace a lower one, but never use a lower quality grade oil to replace a higher one, as this may cause engine failure or even damage.
