The Tiida thermostat opens at around 70-80 degrees Celsius. Below is its working principle: The thermostat operates by having refined paraffin in its temperature-sensitive body remain solid when the coolant temperature is below the specified value. The thermostat valve, under the action of a spring, closes the passage between the engine and the radiator, causing the coolant to return to the engine via the water pump, creating a small internal circulation within the engine. Below is an introduction to thermostat fault diagnosis: (1) Coolant temperature exceeds 110 degrees: Stop the engine and open the hood. Touch the upper coolant hose in the radiator; it should be very hot. Then touch the lower radiator hose; it should also be very hot. If there is a significant temperature difference between the upper and lower hoses, the thermostat is faulty. (2) If the engine does not reach normal operating temperature for a long time: Stop the engine and let it cool to ambient temperature. Restart the engine and drive until the dashboard temperature reaches around 70 degrees (not exceeding 80 degrees). Stop the engine and open the hood. Touch the upper and lower radiator hoses. If there is no temperature difference, the thermostat is faulty. (3) Using an infrared thermometer to test the thermostat: Aim the infrared thermometer at the thermostat housing to measure the temperature changes at the inlet and outlet. This can determine if the thermostat is opening. When the engine starts, the inlet temperature will rise, indicating the thermostat is closed. Once the temperature gauge reaches 70 degrees, measure the outlet temperature. If it suddenly increases and the temperature gauge shows above 80 degrees, the thermostat is opening and functioning normally. If there is no temperature change, the thermostat is malfunctioning and needs replacement.

Can a new car be driven on the road without temporary license plates?

A new car cannot be driven on the road without temporary license plates. Before the official license plates are issued, temporary license plates are the only legal document allowing the vehicle to be driven on the road. When driving the vehicle from the place of purchase to the place of use, temporary license plates must be applied for at the local vehicle management office where the car was purchased. Applying for temporary license plates does not require vehicle inspection; you only need to provide your ID card, compulsory traffic insurance certificate (no vehicle inspection required), invoice, and vehicle qualification certificate. The vehicle management office can process the application on the same day. Situations requiring temporary license plates: 1. When transferring vehicle registration and the official license plates have been surrendered, temporary license plates must be applied for at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original location; 2. For a new car that has not obtained official license plates locally and needs to be driven to another location for modifications, temporary license plates must be applied for locally. After modifications are completed, temporary license plates must be applied for at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original location; 3. When the vehicle registration is not yet fixed and temporary use is required.

Where is the engine number of a Haval car located?

The engine number of a Haval car is located at the bottom of the engine, near the position where the engine connects to the muffler. It typically consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be found through the following four ways: The vehicle's driving license contains the engine number, usually located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will state the engine number; The car purchase invoice will indicate the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will also state the engine number. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's lineup, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine, and each engine can only have one unique engine number, meaning no two engines share the same number.

What are the license plate rules for the five major theater commands?

The license plate rules for the five major theater commands are as follows: The first letter Q represents the theater command, the second letter D represents the eastern command, B represents the northern command, N represents the southern command, X represents the western command, and Z represents the central command. Currently, the military uses the 2012-style military vehicle license plates, which belong to the seventh generation of new military vehicle license plates. They incorporate six comprehensive anti-counterfeiting measures and integrate ETC technology into the management of license plate usage. A military vehicle license plate database has been established across the entire military, effectively enhancing the anti-counterfeiting capabilities and management level of military vehicle license plates. The approval and issuance procedures and authority for military vehicle license plates are strictly enforced, and the scope of use for military vehicle license plates is strictly controlled. In particular, private vehicles, vehicles that exceed the regulations set by the Central Military Commission or have incomplete source procedures, vehicles belonging to local units, and vehicles used by local leaders who hold concurrent positions in the military or armed police are not allowed to be issued new-style military vehicle license plates.

Will I be fined if I cross the line when the light turns red?

You will not be fined if you cross the line when the light turns red. According to the regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the meanings of motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle signal lights are as follows: 1. When the green light is on, vehicles are allowed to pass, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-going vehicles or pedestrians; 2. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass; 3. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from passing. The criteria for running a red light are: 1. The traffic police will capture three images: the first when part of the vehicle's license plate crosses the stop line during the red light, the second when the vehicle passes the middle traffic police platform, and the third when the vehicle crosses the opposite stop line—only when all three images are captured together is it considered running a red light; 2. The traffic department will use video surveillance to determine if a vehicle is suspected of running a red light; 3. Traffic cameras capture moving violations, and excessive movement will be recorded.

What is the reason for the fault light turning on when braking in the Weizhi v2?

If the fault light turns on when braking in the Weizhi v2, it indicates that there may be a fault in the system. Engine Oil Warning Light: When the engine oil warning light comes on, it means the engine oil is insufficient. The correct response is to stop the vehicle and turn off the engine immediately. If the warning is ignored and driving continues, the lack of lubrication will cause engine wear. Engine oil levels can be checked using the dipstick. If the level is low, oil should be added immediately. If the warning light remains on after adding oil, contact roadside assistance. Coolant Temperature Warning: Apart from being sensitive to low oil levels, the engine is also vulnerable to insufficient coolant. The danger level of the coolant temperature warning is comparable to that of the oil warning. It indicates either low coolant levels or excessively high coolant temperature. The proper response is to stop the vehicle and turn off the engine immediately, then check the coolant level once the engine has cooled. Ignoring the coolant temperature warning may lead to engine block deformation.
