After the car radiator boils and cools down, it can be driven for a short distance, but it is recommended to drive at low speed to a service center for repair. The following are the hazards of radiator boiling: 1. Damage to the electric fan: If there are issues such as a damaged thermostat, malfunctioning electric fan, or insufficient coolant in the radiator within the cooling system, the coolant in the radiator cannot be cooled, leading to an increase in water temperature. 2. Disruption of normal clearances between parts: The inability to maintain normal oil films between parts can cause minor issues like engine cylinder or bearing wear, and in severe cases, it may lead to complete engine damage or even scrapping.

Is a U-turn made inside or after the crosswalk?

If the marking near the intersection is a solid line, you cannot make a U-turn directly at the gap. You must cross the crosswalk and wait for the green light before making a U-turn. Otherwise, it will be treated as "violating the prohibition marking," resulting in a 3-point deduction and a fine. If the marking near the intersection is a dashed line, you can make a U-turn without crossing the crosswalk. Introduction to U-turn rules: 1. If there is a U-turn signal at the intersection, follow the signal. 2. If there is no U-turn signal but there is a left-turn lane, you can make a U-turn when the signal turns green. 3. U-turns are prohibited at intersections where left turns are prohibited. 4. U-turns are allowed in yellow grid areas.

What are the steps to drive a Teana automatic transmission car?

Before starting the car, familiarize yourself with the functions of the buttons in the car, which are all introduced in the manual. They are mainly divided into steering wheel function buttons and the positions of the brake and accelerator at the bottom. First, press the one-touch start button marked with the letter 'start', located at the upper left corner of the gear shift. Pressing the start button once activates ACC, and pressing it twice turns on all dashboard indicator lights. After ensuring the car is in good condition, use your right foot to press the brake, then press the one-touch start button to ignite and start the car. Continue to press the brake with your foot and shift the gear to D. Press down the (P) button for the electronic handbrake, slowly release the foot brake with your right foot, and the car will start moving forward. Press the accelerator on the right side with your right foot to accelerate the car.

Where is the throttle relay located in the Tiida?

The throttle relay in the Tiida is located inside the fuse box in the engine compartment, with indications on the back. A relay is an electrical control device that causes a predetermined step change in the controlled quantity in the electrical output circuit when the change in the input quantity meets specified requirements. It establishes an interactive relationship between the control system and the controlled system. Information about relays is as follows: 1. Relays have both a control system and a controlled system, commonly used in automated control circuits, where they serve functions such as automatic regulation, safety protection, and circuit switching. 2. When the input quantity (such as voltage, current, temperature, etc.) reaches a specified value, the relay causes the controlled output circuit to conduct or disconnect. Relays can be divided into two major categories: electrical quantity (such as current, voltage, frequency, power, etc.) relays and non-electrical quantity (such as temperature, pressure, speed, etc.) relays. They offer advantages such as fast operation, stable performance, long service life, and compact size.
