How to Add Water to the Baojun 730 Radiator?

Locate the hood release switch under the dashboard. Note that the position of the hood release switch varies by model, so you'll need to determine its location based on your specific vehicle. Open the hood; the radiator is located on the right side. When opening the hood, push the hood door inward. Add water (or coolant) to the radiator until it reaches the appropriate level. Typically, the radiator contains coolant rather than water, and the fluid level should be maintained between the min and max marks. Close the radiator cap and secure the hood.
As a Baojun 730 owner, I'm quite particular about refilling the coolant reservoir each time. You must wait until the engine completely cools down - don't rush, wait at least half an hour after stopping. Open the hood to locate the coolant reservoir, usually positioned at the front with a blue or yellow cap. Be careful when unscrewing it to avoid hot steam spraying out. It's best to use dedicated coolant rather than cutting corners with tap water, as plain water can cause scale buildup and clog pipes over time. Pour the coolant slowly, keeping an eye on the level - fill only to the middle mark between MIN and MAX. After securely closing the cap, start the engine to check the dashboard temperature gauge - if normal, you're done. Last time I didn't check properly and ended up with a coolant leak that cost me some repair money. Regular maintenance is crucial - I recommend checking the coolant level every time before refueling.
As someone who frequently works on cars, the basic steps for adding water to the radiator are: After the engine is turned off, wait for sufficient time to cool down, locate the radiator cap and gently open it, slowly pour in coolant or distilled water, keeping the water level within the marked range. Close the cap, start the engine, and observe the temperature changes to ensure everything is normal. It's important not to operate when the engine is hot, as steam can scald your hands. The radiator location of the Baojun 730 is easy to find, but regular coolant changes are better for rust prevention. Regularly check the cooling system, and top up the water level promptly when it's low. This makes the car more durable—don't wait until problems arise to take action.
