Generally, 5 to 6 liters are required, which should be added in two stages. Below is relevant information about antifreeze: Functions of antifreeze: The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, meaning a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions when the vehicle is parked, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine cylinder block or head. In cold weather, it prevents parts from failing or cracking due to cooling issues, manages rust prevention, and avoids excessive scale buildup that could clog pipes. It has functions including corrosion inhibition, scale prevention, boiling prevention, freeze protection, and rust prevention. Application of antifreeze: Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. Its freezing point varies with the concentration of ethylene glycol in the aqueous solution.

What does EPC displayed in the car mean?

When the car displays EPC, it indicates a fault in the engine's power control management system. Generally, the EPC light comes on due to poor fuel quality, which triggers the EPC warning light. The solution involves cleaning the throttle body or checking the brake switch and wiring for any issues; the warning light will only go away after the fault is resolved. Below is some information about EPC: 1. EPC stands for Electronic-Power-Control in English, and in Chinese, it refers to the engine electronic stability system, also known as the electronic throttle. This system consists of components such as sensors and controllers. When a sensor malfunctions or detects an abnormal condition, the control system takes appropriate measures based on pre-set programs. 2. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is a general term for systems or programs designed to enhance vehicle handling performance while effectively preventing loss of control when the car reaches its dynamic limits. The electronic stability program improves vehicle safety and handling.

Which Way Should the Fuel Tank Cap Be Turned?

In most cases, the fuel tank cap of a car needs to be turned to the left to open and to the right to close. More related knowledge about fuel tanks is as follows: 1. The fuel tank cap refers to the box on the car used for storing gasoline. It is square in shape, made of stainless steel, and has excellent sealing. There is only a small circular opening, about the size of a bottle cap, for easy storage. It is usually located at the rear of the vehicle. 2. Generally, the trunk is separated from the cabin by the rear seats. Therefore, by removing the rear seats, you can access the trunk from the cabin. Once inside the trunk, you can open the lock by using a screwdriver to pry or rotate the movable parts on the lock. 3. If the fuel tank cap cannot be opened, you can start from the trunk. First, remove the trunk liner covering the fuel tank, which is usually secured by plastic clips and can be easily pried open with a screwdriver. After removing the liner, you can see the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cap and the cable used for remote operation. Pulling the cable will open the fuel tank cap. If this doesn't work, you can press the movable part of the locking mechanism while continuously pulling the cable, and the fuel tank cap will open easily. Some car models have a dedicated switch on the locking mechanism; pressing this switch will open the fuel tank cap.

How to Lift the Rear Seats of a Car?

The method to lift the rear seats of a car is as follows: 1. The rear seats of a car are secured with clips and the base, making it relatively easy to lift, though it requires some effort and strength to accomplish. 2. The operation process is straightforward. Insert your hand under the seat cushion, then forcefully lift the front part upwards until the front clip is released. If operating alone, you can lift each side separately to make it easier to apply force and more convenient. 3. Secure the rear part of the rear seat, then forcefully align the two front clips with the base on the floor and insert them. The entire process does not require any additional tools. Be sure to thoroughly clean the rear seat cushion both before and after lifting to avoid scratches from foreign objects.

Can Seat Belts in a Car Be Replaced?

Seat belts in a car can be replaced, and the following situations require replacement: 1. The internal retractor spring of the seat belt has aged, causing the belt to be too loose or unable to tighten promptly. If the seat belt is not replaced, in an emergency, the excessive looseness may cause the occupant to slip out from under the belt, leading to severe injuries, so immediate replacement is necessary. 2. If the seat belt has once endured a strong tensile load during use, even if it appears undamaged, it should still be replaced and not continued to be used. 3. If the car has been involved in a collision that caused the airbags to deploy, the seat belts must be replaced promptly.
