Here are the reasons why the fuel consumption of Trumpchi GS4 is increasing: 1. Tire Pressure: Tire pressure does affect the vehicle's fuel consumption. Lower tire pressure causes the tires to flatten, increasing rolling resistance, which in turn leads to higher fuel consumption. 2. Dirty Engine Oil and Transmission Fluid: Engine oil and transmission fluid play a lubricating role in the engine and transmission, respectively. Over time, they inevitably become dirty. Dirty oil and transmission fluid reduce lubrication, causing the engine and transmission to consume more energy during operation, thus increasing fuel consumption. 3. Carbon Deposits: Carbon deposits can be considered the 'root of all evil,' as many engine faults are caused by them. Carbon deposits in the engine lead to a decrease in engine power, which correspondingly increases fuel consumption. Additionally, phenomena such as shaking, noise, detonation, and knocking are all related to carbon deposits.

Why does the Mistra's fuel tank not actually hold 62 liters?

Mistra's car manual states that the total fuel tank capacity is 62 liters, which refers to the total volume of the fuel tank. The fuel pump and other accessories inside the tank occupy part of the volume, and there is also residual fuel in the tank, so the actual amount of fuel that can be added is less than 62 liters. Here is some related information about the Mistra: 1. Introduction to the Mistra: The Mistra (MISTRA) is a flagship product of Beijing Hyundai's localization strategy, officially launched in 2013. Positioned between the Sonata and the Elantra, it is a pioneer in the B- segment of the Chinese car market and a successful example of Beijing Hyundai's "dislocation competition" product strategy. 2. Market positioning: The new-generation Mistra is positioned as a mid-to-high-end sedan, featuring leading space and intelligent technology configurations in its class. It provides users with a more efficient travel experience and a more enjoyable driving experience, realizing users' ideal new way of intelligent living.

What are the drawbacks of running on the highway with an on-demand four-wheel drive system?

On-demand four-wheel drive systems have the following drawbacks when running on the highway: Lower safety performance: Most on-demand four-wheel drive systems are limited by structural flaws when transferring power between the front and rear axles, unable to deliver more than 50% of the power to the rear axle, resulting in incomplete power utilization. The front and rear axles of on-demand four-wheel drive systems generally use open differentials. In complex road conditions where two wheels on one side lose traction, the vehicle may struggle to free itself. The active safety of on-demand four-wheel drive vehicles is not as high as that of full-time four-wheel drive vehicles. Limited adjustment range: When transferring power, it cannot deliver more than 50% of the power to the rear wheels, and the adjustment range is not as wide as that of full-time four-wheel drive systems. Compared to part-time four-wheel drive systems, the physical limits of on-demand four-wheel drive are lower in harsh road conditions.

What is the fuel consumption of the BYD Qin DMI cruising at 120 km/h on the highway?

The fuel consumption of the BYD Tang DMI cruising at 120 km/h on the highway is 4.0 liters per 100 kilometers. Introduction to Constant Speed Fuel Consumption: Constant speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator of a vehicle traveling at a constant speed on a good road surface. Since constant-speed driving is a basic operating condition for vehicles on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely adopted. For example, France and Germany use the constant-speed fuel consumption at 90 km/h and 120 km/h as the main evaluation indicators for fuel economy. China also adopts this indicator. Road Cycle Fuel Consumption: Road cycle fuel consumption is a fuel economy indicator measured when a vehicle travels repeatedly on the road according to specified speed and time regulations, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption. In the speed and time regulations, each cycle includes various driving conditions, and specifies the shifting moments, braking and parking times, as well as the values of driving speed, acceleration, and braking deceleration for each cycle.

What are the symptoms of a faulty electronic accelerator pedal?

Electronic accelerator pedal failure generally results in symptoms such as unresponsive acceleration, very slow acceleration speed, or unstable idle speed. Below is relevant information: 1. The electronic throttle control system mainly consists of the accelerator pedal, pedal displacement sensor, ECU, data bus, servo motor, and throttle actuator. The displacement sensor is installed inside the accelerator pedal to constantly monitor the pedal's position. 2. When a change in the accelerator pedal's height position is detected, this information is instantly sent to the ECU. The ECU processes this information along with data from other systems, calculates a control signal, and sends it via wiring to the servo motor relay. The servo motor then drives the throttle actuator, while the data bus is responsible for communication between the system ECU and other ECUs.

Can I go straight when the variable lane traffic light is green?

You can go straight. Here is the relevant information: 1. A variable lane is essentially an emergency lane primarily used during peak traffic hours to alleviate severe traffic congestion. It is characterized by multiple diagonal lines inside the lane. Traffic authorities may alter the direction of travel in variable lanes based on real-time traffic flow conditions to ease congestion and maximize the utilization of road lane resources. 2. Typically, variable lanes are adjusted for peak hours. If you accidentally enter a variable lane, please follow the directional signs. Violations such as crossing solid lines to change lanes or making U-turns may be captured by cameras, usually resulting in a fine and a deduction of 3 points from your driving license.

Is the Steering Wheel Lighter in Better Cars?

Is the steering wheel lighter in better cars? The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of vehicles such as cars, ships, and airplanes. The function of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a skeleton, foam, and corresponding mounting clips or screw holes for the driver's airbag (DAB). The functions of a car steering wheel are as follows: 1. The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft via splines; 2. Using a larger diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required by the driver when turning; 3. The steering transmission shaft, as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and makes the installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle more reasonable.
