At what level does the antifreeze trigger a warning?
1 Answers
Engine coolant triggers a warning when it drops below the MIN line. Driving should not continue after a low coolant level warning is activated. Insufficient engine coolant affects the radiator's heat dissipation efficiency, failing to achieve the required cooling effect. This disrupts the normal circulation of coolant, leading to overheating and, in severe cases, engine damage. Generally, engine coolant should be replaced after the vehicle has been driven for 40,000-60,000 kilometers or approximately three years. Engine coolant ensures smooth engine operation, providing antifreeze, anti-rust, and anti-corrosion protection for the engine. Engine coolants should not be mixed. When replenishing antifreeze due to low levels, it is crucial to use the same color antifreeze as originally specified for the vehicle. Mixing different antifreeze types may cause chemical reactions during use, potentially damaging the engine radiator.
