MG5 average fuel consumption: 5.6~9.8L/100km, MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption: 5.6~7.8L/100km. The reasons for high fuel consumption are as follows: Abnormal tire pressure: Incorrect tire pressure can also affect the car's fuel consumption. When the tire pressure is too low or the tread is severely worn, the contact area between the tire and the road surface increases, friction increases, rolling resistance increases, and fuel consumption naturally rises. Excessive load: Long-term transportation of heavy loads increases the vehicle's weight, leading to greater driving pressure and higher fuel consumption. Car sensor failure: This is also a major cause of increased fuel consumption. When the water temperature sensor fails, it makes the engine mistakenly think the car is in a cold state, continuously sending signals to inject fuel, resulting in higher fuel consumption.

Is the Electronic Signature for Subject 3 Important?

Subject 3 electronic signature is very important. Below are the relevant details: 1. Subjects 1 and 3: Those who have not signed need to go to the Guang'an Vehicle Management Office to complete the signature; if you pass the Subject 3 exam but forget to sign, you may not be able to schedule the Subject 4 exam, or you can make up the signature for the forgotten score sheet after completing Subject 4. 2. Subject 2: Those who have not signed can make up the signature at the Subject 2 window of the Huaying test site when taking Subject 3. If you do not make up the signature during the Subject 3 exam, you will need to go to the Guang'an Vehicle Management Office to complete it. 3. Safety and Civility: The content of the safe driving knowledge test generally includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.

Is it okay to run the air conditioning with the windows open?

Is it okay to run the air conditioning with the windows open? However, in this state, the air conditioning effect inside the car will be poor, and the fuel consumption of the car's air conditioning will increase significantly. Here is more related information: 1. Car air conditioning: The car air conditioning system consists of a compressor, condenser, throttle element, evaporator, fan, and necessary control components. It is used to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the car, providing a comfortable environment for the driver. 2. Working principle: When the compressor is working, it sucks in low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator. After compression, the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant increase, and it is sent to the condenser. Inside the condenser, the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant transfers heat to the outside air passing through the condenser and liquefies, turning into a liquid.

What does '10,000 kilometers for full synthetic' mean in cars?

The meaning is that the replacement interval for full synthetic engine oil is 10,000 kilometers or once a year. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Function: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. 2. Classification: Gasoline engine oils are divided into two types: mineral oil and synthetic oil, with synthetic oil further categorized into semi-synthetic and full synthetic oil. 3. Composition: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance, imparting certain new properties, making them an important component of lubricating oil.

How many points are deducted for not stalling in Subject 3?

Not stalling in Subject 3 deducts 5 points. Here are the relevant details: 1. Surrounding environment: Failing to walk around the vehicle to inspect its appearance and the surrounding environment results in disqualification; not observing the traffic behind before opening the car door results in disqualification. 2. Insufficient air pressure: Starting with insufficient brake air pressure results in disqualification; starting without fully closing the car door results in disqualification; before starting, not observing the interior and exterior rearview mirrors or turning the head to observe the traffic behind results in disqualification; when starting the engine, not placing the transmission control lever in the neutral (parking) position results in disqualification; starting without releasing the parking brake and failing to correct it promptly results in disqualification; starting without releasing the parking brake but correcting it promptly deducts 10 points.

How many years can a normal car battery last?

Normal car batteries can last between 2 to 4 years. 1. Introduction: Car batteries are divided into maintenance-free batteries and conventional batteries (lead-acid batteries). Most vehicle models currently use maintenance-free batteries, while many Japanese cars use conventional batteries. Conventional batteries have electrodes made of lead and lead oxide, with an electrolyte solution of sulfuric acid, typically lasting about 2 years, making a two-year replacement reasonable. Maintenance-free batteries are relatively more durable, usually requiring replacement every 3 years or so. 2. Precautions: Batteries are most vulnerable to low temperatures, as their capacity in cold environments is significantly lower than at room temperature. A battery that functions normally in warm conditions may suddenly lose power in cold areas. Therefore, before the onset of cold seasons, it's advisable to check the electrolyte level. If necessary, replenish the battery's electrolyte, adjust the specific gravity of the electrolyte, and check its charge status, charging if required.

What to Do When the Kia K3 Car Key Battery Dies and Cannot Start the Car?

You can open the car door using a metal key blade on the remote key. The specific methods are as follows: 1. How to open the door: Every remote key comes with a metal key blade inserted into it. Usually, there is a switch on the remote key; flipping it allows you to pull out the key blade. Insert this key blade directly into the door's keyhole to open or lock the car door. 2. How to start the car: The metal key blade in the remote key is only used to open the door and cannot be used to start the car. Typically, push-to-start models available in the market provide three methods to start the car when the remote key battery is dead.
