You should not drive when the coolant warning is on. The coolant warning indicates that the radiator temperature may be too high, or the vehicle may be low on coolant. For safety reasons, the car should not continue to be driven under these circumstances. Continuing to drive with a coolant warning can cause engine damage. If the engine is not cooled for an extended period, it may suffer internal damage. Owners must regularly check the car's cooling system and coolant levels. Situations involving coolant warnings: 1. If the warning is due to the engine temperature being too high, the owner can pull over to the side of the road, keep the engine idling, open the hood, and let it cool down. 2. If the coolant level is insufficient, simply add more coolant. If coolant is not available, you can add an appropriate amount of purified water, but do not overfill.

Is a Bent Valve Considered a Major Overhaul?

Bent valves are not considered a major overhaul, as explained below. Explanation of Bent Valves: During normal engine operation, the pistons do not come into contact with the valves. However, when a valve fails to close as it should, the piston may strike the valve, bending it. This is known as a bent valve. Not all vehicles will experience bent valves if the timing belt breaks or becomes misaligned. Reason It's Not a Major Overhaul: A bent valve occurs due to the breakage of the timing belt or chain. If the damage is minor, it may only require lifting the cylinder head to replace the valve, cylinder gasket, and timing belt or chain. In more severe cases where the piston is cracked or punctured, replacing the piston or connecting rod may be necessary, but a full engine overhaul is not required.

Will a Keyless Start Vehicle Stall If the Key Leaves?

Keyless start vehicles will not stall if the key leaves. More information about the keyless start system is as follows: 1. The keyless start system (Keyless-Start-System) allows the vehicle to be started without taking out or turning a key. Simply keep the key in a bag or pocket, press the button inside the car, or turn the ignition knob to start the engine. This is more convenient and enhances the sense of luxury and technology. 2. The keyless start system uses the most advanced radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, automatically locking and unlocking the doors through the chip in the smart card carried by the owner. When the driver approaches the vehicle within a certain distance, the door locks will automatically open and disable the anti-theft system. When the driver leaves the vehicle, the door locks will automatically lock and activate the anti-theft system.

Is it necessary to apply film to a panoramic sunroof?

It is not recommended to apply film to a panoramic sunroof because the sunroof glass usually already has UV protection and heat insulation functions. Applying film again would first result in a certain degree of resource waste and could also have some impact on the overall quality of the vehicle. For example, after applying film to the sunroof, the overall thickness of the glass increases, and if the installation is not done well, it may lead to unsmooth operation of the sunroof or even damage the film during the opening and closing process. Automotive film, commonly referred to as car film, is a film applied to car windows for aesthetics, safety, and heat insulation. Its basic features include safety, clarity, anti-glare, UV protection, heat insulation, scratch resistance, sufficient shelf life, and privacy protection.
