Car antifreeze should be refilled every two years or 40,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. The method for changing antifreeze: 1. Locate the antifreeze reservoir and follow the storage tank to find the lower hose; 2. Find the position of the hose clamp, use clamp pliers to grip the clamp, squeeze the pliers firmly to open the clamp and lock it; 3. Pull the rubber hose forcefully, and the antifreeze will flow out; 4. After the antifreeze has completely drained, you can refill with new antifreeze or clean the system before refilling. The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or head. Antifreeze also reduces corrosion in the engine cooling system and has anti-corrosion and rust-removal functions.

Should You Shift Gear or Release the Handbrake First in an Automatic Transmission?

Automatic and manual transmissions follow the same starting sequence: you should shift into gear first and then release the handbrake. The primary reason for this is safety, as shifting into gear connects the power transmission path in the gearbox. When you first shift into gear, the transmission is in first gear, where the torque is at its highest. If the brake isn't properly engaged, the vehicle could suddenly lurch forward. Automatic transmissions can be categorized into CVT, AT, and dual-clutch types. CVT and AT transmissions use a torque converter to transfer engine power to the gearbox, while dual-clutch transmissions rely on friction plates similar to manual transmissions to transmit power.

What is the problem when the Ford Focus engine shakes?

The reason why the Ford Focus engine shakes is: carbon deposits, oil sludge blockage, etc. cause the engine to shake. The throttle, idle valve, and intake ports will accumulate carbon deposits and oil sludge after being used for a period of time, leading to poor air intake, which affects idle stability and causes shaking. The issue can be resolved by inspecting and cleaning the above-mentioned parts with a cleaning agent without the need for disassembly. As a best-selling compact car under Ford, the Ford Focus has enhanced Ford's brand position in the global market with its excellent chassis and handling. The dimensions of the Focus are 4378mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2705mm.
