The method to check the date on car glass is as follows: There will be a trademark in the corner of the car glass, consisting of several dots and a number. The number represents the production year of the car glass. If the dots are on the left, it indicates the first half of the year, while dots on the right represent the second half of the year. Car glass is manufactured by heating the glass in a furnace to a temperature close to its softening point, then quickly transferring it to air grids with varying cooling intensities for uneven cooling. This process creates different stress levels between the main viewing area and the peripheral areas of the glass. Generally, glass produced using this technology is zone-tempered glass.

How much antifreeze can a car hold at one time?

A car can typically hold around 4 liters of antifreeze at one time. Antifreeze has a shelf life, generally about 2 years, while high-quality long-life variants can last up to 5 years. Once antifreeze exceeds its shelf life, it can cause rust in the engine's water passages, leading to blockages and resulting in engine overheating or even boiling. Different brands and colors of antifreeze should not be mixed, as antifreeze with different compositions and formulations can undergo chemical reactions, affecting its performance. It is important to choose a high-quality product that matches the brand and model of the original antifreeze. Antifreeze is somewhat corrosive, so avoid contact with skin and other rubber components. In case of spills, rinse immediately with clean water.

What does the M gear in an automatic transmission mean?

The M gear in an automatic transmission refers to the manual mode in a semi-automatic or tiptronic transmission. By manually shifting the gear lever to M+ or M-, it simulates manual gear shifting. However, if the engine speed is too high or too low, the protection program will automatically upshift or downshift. The M gear is a versatile gear that can be used as a sport mode, hill climbing gear, downhill gear, or even as an overtaking gear. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Typically, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L.

What to Do When the Automatic Transmission Overheats?

Solutions for automatic transmission overheating: 1. First, pull the car over to the side and let the transmission temperature gradually decrease; 2. Check if the transmission's radiator fan is functioning properly, and inspect whether the coolant and transmission fluid are at adequate levels. If they are low, replenish them promptly; 3. Examine whether the transmission cooler is working correctly and if the grille is blocked; 4. Once the transmission temperature returns to normal and the dashboard warning light turns off, you can continue driving. If the transmission temperature still does not drop, it is advisable to consult a professional to prevent potential accidents. It is important to note that aggressive driving should be avoided, as it can put the transmission under excessive load, leading to abnormal operating temperatures and increasing safety risks.
