If the engine warning light of your Elantra keeps flashing while the engine is running, it may indicate that the control system has detected potential faults in the engine or transmission system. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop or a professional repair facility as soon as possible. They can use specialized diagnostic tools to read error codes, identify the issue, and perform necessary repairs. Ignoring this may lead to increased fuel consumption or more severe damage over time. Engine warning light is on and the car won't start: This could be caused by a faulty fuel pump or ignition components. It is advised to call for roadside assistance immediately. Warning light is on but the car is drivable: If you experience severe shaking, loss of power during acceleration, or similar symptoms, pull over safely and call for assistance. Warning light is on but no noticeable driving issues:

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Hongqi HS7?

The fuel tank capacity of the Hongqi HS7 is 75 liters, as officially announced. Owners of the Hongqi HS7 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Hongqi HS7 requires 95-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 8.6 to 10.9 liters per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of 688 to 872 kilometers. During daily driving, it is important to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This extra space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

What are the new regulations for National II vehicles in 2021?

There are no national regulations requiring the unified scrapping of National II vehicles in 2021. The scrapping regulations for private vehicles remain the same: vehicles will be forcibly scrapped only if they have reached a mileage of 600,000 kilometers or have not undergone annual inspections for three consecutive years. Introduction to National II vehicles: National II vehicles refer to vehicles whose exhaust emissions comply with the National Phase II emission standards. Methods to identify National II vehicles: The simplest and most direct way is to check the vehicle's environmental protection label, which has clear markings on the back. You can also log in to the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to inquire. Another method is to take the vehicle registration certificate to the vehicle management office for inquiry. For new vehicles, you can refer to the vehicle's factory certificate and roughly distinguish based on the year of registration. Most vehicles registered after 2008 are National IV, while those registered in 2007 may be National III or National IV. Vehicles registered before 2007 are generally below National IV, meaning they are National III or National II vehicles. Vehicles registered before 2005 are mostly National II vehicles.
