Methods to check if the radiator is low on water in the new Sylphy: 1. Observe the coolant warning light on the car dashboard. If it lights up, it indicates that the radiator is low on water. 2. Open the engine compartment when the car is cold and check if the coolant level is sufficient. There are MAX and MIN level marks on the side of the coolant reservoir. If the level is below the MIN mark when the car is cold, add coolant accordingly, using the marks on the reservoir as a guide. Here are some related details: 1. The car engine must be properly cooled in high-temperature working conditions to maintain an optimal operating temperature, ensuring good performance, durability, and meeting exhaust emission requirements. 2. The water in the car radiator should generally be replaced every two years or every 30,000-40,000 kilometers. Vehicles with high usage frequency should consider replacing it earlier. During the period before the antifreeze coolant is due for replacement, if the coolant level is found to be below the MIN mark (the normal coolant level should be between MIN and MAX), it should be replenished promptly.
Checking the coolant level in the new Sylphy is actually quite important. I remember when I was younger driving a similar model, insufficient coolant could easily lead to engine overheating and major repairs. Nowadays, checking the new Sylphy is very convenient. First, ensure the engine is turned off and cooled for one or two hours, then open the hood and locate the translucent plastic reservoir on the right side, which is marked with MIN and MAX level lines. When the engine is cold, the fluid level should be between these two marks; if it's below MIN, it indicates a coolant shortage, and you should promptly add the manufacturer-recommended coolant—avoid using tap water to prevent freezing and rust. Additionally, developing a habit of checking monthly can prevent unexpected breakdowns and save on repair costs. A friend of mine ended up with engine damage and a repair bill of over ten thousand yuan due to neglecting this check.
