Source limitations. Here are the specific reasons why hydrogen-powered vehicles cannot become widespread: 1. Initial stage: The research, development, and promotion of hydrogen energy in China are still in their early stages. Moreover, previous hydrogen-powered test vehicles experienced leaks leading to explosions, which halted further promotion in the household sector. 2. Source: The extraction of hydrogen energy itself depends on other sources. For example, it requires consuming electricity to electrolyze water or comes from gas reactions, both of which involve significant electricity consumption or the production of other harmful gases. 3. Stringent hydrogen storage conditions: Due to the molecular structure of hydrogen, it is not as easily compressed as other gases. 4. Insufficient range: While theoretically, a full tank of hydrogen can provide a range of 300 kilometers, in practice, it only allows for 170-200 kilometers of driving.

How many kilometers can you drive when the fuel warning light comes on?

When the fuel gauge light comes on, there are still 5-10 liters of fuel left in the tank, which varies slightly depending on engine displacement and fuel tank capacity. This information is usually specified in each vehicle's manual. Detailed explanation below: 1. Approximately 30 kilometers of driving range: Knowing the remaining fuel quantity allows for rough calculation of remaining distance. However, actual range may vary significantly depending on road conditions and driving skills. Based on experience, most vehicles can travel about 30 kilometers after the fuel light comes on. 2. Recommendations when fuel light illuminates: Reduce braking and avoid low-speed driving: Braking itself doesn't consume much fuel, but accelerating back to speed after slowing down is very fuel-intensive. Driving at very low speeds is essentially equivalent to idling, which consumes considerable fuel. Turn off navigation systems, radios, music players, air conditioning and other high-power electrical devices as they significantly impact fuel consumption.

Should I Replace One or Both Rear Wheel Bearings When One Fails?

When a rear wheel bearing fails, replacing just the one is sufficient. Below are specific details regarding rear wheel bearings: 1. Regular Inspection: To maximize safety and reliability, rear wheel bearings should be inspected frequently regardless of the vehicle's age. Watch for early warning signs of bearing wear, including any friction noises during rotation or abnormal deceleration of the suspension assembly wheel during turns. For rear-wheel-drive vehicles, it is recommended to lubricate the rear wheel bearings at 38,000 kilometers. When replacing the braking system, inspect the bearings and replace the oil seals. 2. Noise Handling: Upon hearing noise from the bearing area, first identify the source of the noise. There are many moving components that could generate noise, or it might be due to contact between rotating and non-rotating parts. If the noise is confirmed to be from the bearing, the bearing may be damaged and require replacement.

Why can't the Haval F7 be remotely unlocked?

Haval F7 cannot be remotely unlocked possibly due to poor signal or surrounding interference. High reliability: Engine remote start uses an electric motor to start the engine, eliminating mechanical wear issues of heaters, thus significantly reducing the probability of failure. Convenient to use: The remote control range is usually no less than 50 meters. If the vehicle is parked in a ground parking lot, the engine can be started remotely in advance from home or the workplace. Automatic timing: Normally, the remotely started engine will automatically shut off after a period of time if no operation is performed, avoiding possible fuel waste caused by forgetting to turn it off. Whole vehicle heating: This function, like parking heating, warms up the coolant in the radiator, so whether it's the cabin, the engine, or the windows, they can all be effectively heated.

What is the fuel consumption of the Cruze 1.6 automatic transmission?

The official fuel consumption of the Cruze 1.6 automatic transmission is 7.1L/100km. Here are some related introductions about fuel consumption: 1. Habits and road conditions: Fuel consumption is greatly affected by driving habits and road conditions. Avoid hard acceleration; gradual acceleration from a start is the most fuel-efficient. To save fuel, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal heavily when starting, as this can increase fuel consumption by 2 to 3 times compared to normal acceleration. 2. Braking: Maintaining a safe distance and avoiding frequent braking can save more fuel. If you don't keep a safe distance, you may need to brake frequently on the road. When braking, the gear of an automatic transmission vehicle will drop, and the vehicle will have to accelerate again from a lower gear. Starting from a standstill or a low gear requires the engine to consume more fuel.
