The coolant in the new Santana should be replaced every 45,000 km or 60 months. Coolant, also known as antifreeze coolant, is a liquid composed of antifreeze additives, additives that prevent metal corrosion, and water. It needs to have properties such as antifreeze, anti-corrosion, heat conduction, and resistance to deterioration. The Santana is a brand of car produced by Volkswagen in California, USA. The new Santana is equipped with 1.4L and 1.6L engines, codenamed EA211, which come in two displacements. In terms of body dimensions, the new Santana measures 4437mm in length, 1706mm in width, and 1469mm in height.

Where is the air conditioning filter of the Audi A5 located?

The air conditioning filter of the Audi A5 is located under the right front rain tray of the windshield. The function of the air conditioning filter is to ensure that the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air, and absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, and CO2. The dimensions of the Audi A5 are 4757mm in length, 1843mm in width, and 1358mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2826mm. In terms of power, the car is equipped with a 2.0T 204-horsepower L4 turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 150 kW.

What is the normal temperature range for coolant?

Coolant temperature is generally normal at 90 degrees Celsius. Both excessively high or low water temperatures can affect engine performance. After starting the vehicle, the antifreeze temperature rises rapidly, and when the gauge needle reaches the central position, the heat exchange reaches equilibrium and the antifreeze temperature stabilizes. Generally, it's optimal to start driving when the temperature reaches the middle position. If the coolant temperature exceeds the engine's normal operating range, the engine's water temperature warning light will illuminate on the dashboard. Common causes of overheating include insufficient or deteriorated antifreeze, thermostat failure, water temperature sensor malfunction, radiator blockage, or fan failure. Another scenario is when the vehicle struggles to reach operating temperature during prolonged low-temperature conditions. Excluding factors like operation in cold regions, premature use of heating systems, or short driving distances, this condition is likely caused by a stuck-open thermostat fault.

How to Park and Turn Off an Automatic Transmission Car?

Automatic transmission car parking and turning off steps are: After the vehicle comes to a complete stop, shift the gear to P or N position, then you can turn off the engine. If parking on a slope, first shift to N position, then press the brake and pull the handbrake. After the vehicle is completely stopped, shift to P position, release the foot brake, and finally turn off the engine. Introduction to automatic transmission gears: P is Park, R is Reverse, N is Neutral, D is Drive, S is Sport mode. Automatic transmission cars usually use hydraulic transmission devices to replace the mechanical clutch of manual transmission cars, so there is no clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward. When the gear lever is moved to Drive position and the brake pedal is released, as you accelerate and the engine speed increases, the transmitted torque increases, pushing the car forward.

Where to Place the Novice Driver Sign?

Novice driver signs are generally placed on both sides of the rear windshield or on the trunk of the car. When posting the novice driver sign, make sure it does not obstruct the driver's view. The novice driver sticker is a functional decal used to identify vehicles driven by beginners, serving as a warning to other vehicles to prevent safety accidents such as rear-end collisions. When driving, novice drivers should place the sign in a conspicuous position on the rear window or the rear of the vehicle body. Other drivers can take preemptive measures upon seeing this sign, ensuring understanding and consideration from other drivers, pedestrians, and traffic police, thereby preventing traffic accidents. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, the first 12 months after a motorist initially obtains a driver's license is considered the probationary period. During this period, a uniform-style novice driver sign must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle.

Which side is the accelerator in an automatic transmission car?

In an automatic transmission car, the accelerator is on the right side. Automatic transmission cars only have an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal, both of which are controlled by the right foot. The brake pedal is on the left, and the accelerator pedal is on the right, with no need to use the left foot. This design is based on ergonomics by manufacturers to ensure drivers can react quickly in emergencies. To prevent confusion while driving an automatic car, the accelerator pedal is designed to be lower, and the brake pedal is relatively higher. This helps avoid mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead of the brake during driving, thereby preventing potential dangers.
