If the coolant pipe bursts, you should not continue driving. Engine overheating can lead to reduced expansion efficiency, decreased engine power, increased tendencies for pre-ignition and knocking, premature component damage, worsened lubrication between moving parts, and accelerated wear. Coolant is an essential working medium for ensuring the proper operation of water-cooled engines. Below is an introduction to new car maintenance: 1. Change the oil and clean the three filters: Replace the engine oil and clean the three filters, namely the oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter. 2. Check the car's coolant: Ensure the coolant level is within the normal range. 3. Inspect the car's brakes: Check the car's brakes and the fluid level of the clutch. 4. Check the power steering fluid level: Verify the power steering fluid level is normal and look for any leaks at the pipe connections. 5. Check for component aging: Inspect the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and belts for aging and tension. 6. Check tire pressure and wear: Examine tire pressure and wear condition, inflate tires as needed, and rotate them if there is uneven wear.

What to Do When the Wiper Blades Won't Move?

If the wiper blades won't move, you need to check whether the screws on the wiper are loose. Tightening the screws should resolve the issue. Below is an introduction to related information: Usage: When there are foreign objects such as mud or sand around the wiper blades, they can get stuck and prevent the wipers from moving. After removing the foreign objects, manually shaking the wipers a few times should allow them to function properly. Components: The wiper assembly includes components such as the motor, reducer, four-bar linkage mechanism, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Principle: When the wiper switch is pressed, the motor starts. The motor's rotational speed is converted into increased torque through the worm gear mechanism, which drives the swing arm. The swing arm then moves the four-bar linkage mechanism, causing the shaft installed on the front bulkhead to swing left and right. Finally, the shaft drives the wiper blades to sweep across the windshield.

What Does the Exclamation Mark Mean in a BMW?

An exclamation mark appearing on the car's dashboard indicates an abnormality or malfunction in the corresponding system. Many indicator lights on the dashboard feature an exclamation mark, such as the tire pressure indicator, lighting fault indicator, steering system fault indicator, brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator, and windshield wiper fault indicator. Below is a detailed explanation of the exclamation mark warning lights: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor faults, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light faults, engine oil pressure sensor faults, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission fluid levels below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents a brake system warning, primarily indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid levels. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Abnormality: A horizontal line with parentheses and an exclamation mark underneath. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a fault in one of the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible or check the lights yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue. In addition, during daily vehicle use, the warning lights displayed on the dashboard are divided into two colors—yellow and red—for different levels of alerts: Yellow indicates a fault in the corresponding system, but the issue is not very severe. Reduce speed and proceed to a repair shop to eliminate potential safety hazards. Red indicates a very serious problem in the corresponding system. In such cases, do not continue driving. Pull over immediately and seek professional assistance to prevent unpredictable risks to the vehicle and personal safety. Note: When the car is started, all warning lights will illuminate as the system performs an automatic self-check. After the check is completed, they will turn off. If a light does not illuminate when the ignition is turned on, remains lit, or lights up while driving, it indicates a fault in the corresponding system. In such cases, seek professional help promptly to inspect and resolve the issue to ensure safety.

Why Does a Car Shake on the Highway?

The reasons why a car shakes on the highway: 1. Air resistance; 2. Different suspension designs causing instability; 3. Variations in the vehicle's center of gravity; 4. Tire performance. When driving at high speeds, the front of the car divides the air into two parts. However, at high speeds, the upper air flows faster, generating lift. The faster the speed, the stronger the lift, which reduces the friction between the tires and the road, leading to the phenomenon of the car feeling unstable. The suspension design is a crucial factor in a car's stability. Cars with stiffer suspensions tend to be more stable at high speeds, but their ability to absorb road vibrations is not as good. On the other hand, softer suspensions offer better comfort but react more noticeably to crosswinds and strong air currents, increasing the likelihood of instability.
