How to Open the Radiator Cap of Verna?
2 Answers
To open the radiator cap of Verna, press and turn it counterclockwise. The car radiator, also known as the car cooling system radiator, consists of three main parts: the inlet chamber, outlet chamber, main plate, and radiator core. Verna is a compact car under Beijing Hyundai, with body dimensions of 4300mm in length, 1705mm in width, and 1460mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2570mm, a fuel tank capacity of 43 liters, and a trunk capacity of 475 liters. The body structure is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan. Verna is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 95 PS and a maximum power output of 70 kW.
I've driven a Verna for ten years and remember nearly getting scalded the first time I opened the radiator cap because the pressure is intense when the engine is hot. To open it, first park and turn off the engine for at least half an hour to let it cool completely—it's safe only when the temperature drops. Locate the round cap on top of the radiator in the engine bay, which may have a warning label. Press down gently on the cap while turning it counterclockwise; if you hear a hissing sound, stop and wait until it completely stops before turning further to open. This is how you add coolant or check that the level is within the marked lines. After finishing, tighten the cap clockwise to prevent leaks. Regularly checking the coolant's color and level helps prevent engine overheating. Remember, this job requires no tools—just your hands—but safety first: never rush when dealing with a hot engine.
