When the coolant warning light comes on, you should not continue driving. This indicates that the car's coolant is insufficient, or it may be an alert for an overheated radiator. Continuing to drive could cause the engine temperature to rise further, potentially damaging the engine. To avoid unnecessary losses and for safety reasons, it is crucial to stop driving. The role of coolant is to dissipate heat from the engine. Without coolant, the engine's cooling system will fail, affecting the radiator's heat dissipation efficiency. The coolant used in cars must meet the vehicle's specifications. You can check the coolant level by opening the engine hood—the 'min' mark indicates the lower limit, and 'max' indicates the upper limit. The coolant level should ideally be between these two marks.

How many kilometers can a Kawasaki Ninja travel on a full tank of fuel?

Kawasaki Ninja can travel approximately 220 kilometers on a full tank of fuel. Methods to check fuel consumption: The vehicle dashboard displays the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, which can be directly observed. Alternatively, fill up the fuel tank, reset the trip meter, note the amount of fuel added, wait until the fuel gauge light comes on, record the distance traveled, and calculate based on the distance and fuel consumption. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: Accelerate slowly, avoid sudden acceleration, shift gears at low RPMs, avoid flooring the accelerator, avoid racing at traffic lights, repair any dents on the vehicle body, avoid coasting in neutral (as it can lead to steering and brake failure), and remember that fuel consumption varies greatly depending on individual driving habits. Drive safely, avoid drunk driving, avoid fatigued driving, and avoid speeding or overloading.

How long does it take to get a student card?

Generally, it takes 2 working days to be issued. After completing the registration procedures, the student card needs to be approved by the transportation bureau. Function of the student card: The student card mainly records the applicant's name, the registration time for the motor vehicle driver's license application, the affiliated driving school, and other information. Therefore, the student card serves as a detailed record of the applicant's motor vehicle driver's license application. Training hours card: The training hours card is a record of the student's learning time. The Ministry of Transportation has clear regulations and assessments for the learning hours of driving students, and the tool for assessing these hours is card swiping, using an IC card to record a student's specific learning progress.

Why do some car tires appear to be flat?

Because the vehicle body is heavy, it is normal for the tires to appear slightly flat, especially the front tires, as the front part carries the engine. As long as the tires are inflated to the standard pressure and there are no leaks, there is no need to worry if they look like they are flat. Tire Pressure Check: Generally, tire pressure should be checked once a week. The best method is to use a pressure gauge to measure the pressure. Modern tires are tubeless, making it difficult to judge by eye. Most tires today are low-pressure tires, and a pressure of 2.4 is considered normal. Standard Pressure: The standard pressure is usually indicated on the fuel tank cap, and you can inflate the tires accordingly. It is advisable to install a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) for added convenience. Overinflating the tires can cause excessive wear on the central tread, leading to uneven wear and reduced tire lifespan. Underinflated tires not only increase fuel consumption but also wear out faster.

Where is the fuse box of the Cayenne?

In the fuse box on the left side of the dashboard. Function of fuses: To prevent damage to the electrical system due to short circuits and overloads, fuses protect individual circuits. Turn off the load with a damaged fuse and open the fuse box cover. Use a plastic clip to remove the corresponding fuse from the slot for inspection. A blown fuse can be identified by the melted metal strip inside. Only replace the fuse with one of the same rating. Note: Do not repair fuses or replace a blown fuse with one of a higher ampere rating. Never replace a damaged fuse with anything other than a new fuse, such as wire, foil, etc. This can cause damage to the electrical system and fire. If the fuse blows repeatedly, contact a qualified professional repair shop.

What Causes Gear Shifting Jerkiness in the Grand Cherokee?

Gear shifting jerkiness in the Grand Cherokee may occur during upshifting, downshifting, or at low speeds. Upshifting Jerkiness: The primary cause is often the transmission's response speed being insufficiently fast, where the upshift speed cannot keep up with the throttle input speed. This results in a jerking sensation during the moment of gear shifting. Downshifting Jerkiness: This is mostly due to the intervention of the energy recovery system. When the driver releases the throttle pedal or presses the brake pedal, the generator immediately starts working, imposing some load on the engine. This affects the engine speed, causing it to become unsynchronized with the clutch plate speed, leading to a jerking sensation. Low-Speed Jerkiness: Many owners experience this issue. At low speeds, the transmission frequently shifts between first and second gears, causing the clutch to repeatedly disengage and engage. The power transmission cannot be smoothly completed in a short time, resulting in common low-speed jerkiness. There may be a jerking sensation during startup and at low speeds, which is generally normal. This usually occurs when the turbocharger engages at low RPMs, affecting the engine speed.

Can I renew my driver's license in another city?

Driver's license renewal in another city is possible before expiration but not after. Renewal regulations: According to driver's license usage regulations, an expired license cannot be directly renewed in another city. However, you can first transfer it to your place of residence and then proceed with the renewal. For out-of-city renewal, the application must be made before the license expires. After expiration, you must return to the vehicle management office in the issuing city to apply. Renewal process: To renew your driver's license in another city, you need to bring the original driver's license, the original and a copy of your ID card, three 1-inch color photos, and a physical examination certificate issued by a county-level or above medical institution. Then, fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" at the vehicle management office.
