The reasons why you shouldn't fill the fuel tank to the brim are as follows: 1. Safety hazard: When the fuel tank is completely filled, due to the principle of thermal expansion, if the vehicle is exposed to direct sunlight, the volume of gasoline will expand, causing increased internal pressure in the fuel tank. This may lead to deformation of the fuel tank. Additionally, gasoline may leak out through the tank's vent, which is why some vehicles may have gasoline near their rear wheels. 2. Performance impact: Overfilling the tank can easily block the fuel tank vent. When the vent is blocked, negative pressure builds up inside the tank, resulting in poor fuel supply or even complete fuel cutoff.

What is the BMW M Sport Suspension?

Adaptive M suspension should be derived from the advanced suspension system found in M models. Suspension Introduction: The suspension is the general term for all force-transmitting connection devices between the car's frame (or load-bearing body) and the axle (or wheels). A typical suspension structure consists of elastic elements, guiding mechanisms, shock absorbers, etc., with some structures also including buffer blocks and anti-roll bars. Suspension Function: Its role is to transmit forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, while cushioning the impacts from uneven road surfaces transmitted to the frame or body, and reducing the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving.

What is the mileage of the Lavida?

The mileage of the Lavida is calculated based on the fuel level in the tank and the average fuel consumption displayed on the dashboard. Fuel consumption: Generally, the onboard computer provides an average fuel consumption value, which is displayed on the dashboard, but it often differs from the actual fuel consumption. The specific fuel consumption can be calculated using a formula. Fuel consumption considerations: Plan your route before driving, check traffic conditions, and try to avoid roads prone to congestion. Maintain a steady speed while driving, as unstable speeds can increase fuel consumption by approximately 6% in suburban areas and 2% in urban areas. Avoid carrying unnecessary items in the car to reduce weight.
