When decelerating a manual transmission vehicle, first press the brake pedal. Once the speed has reduced to an appropriate level, then press the clutch pedal to shift out of gear or change gears. Additionally, when decelerating and shifting, you can skip gears to downshift. For example, if the vehicle is currently in 5th gear at 70 km/h, and you need to decelerate to follow traffic, you can first press the brake to reduce speed, then fully depress the clutch pedal and directly shift from 5th gear to 3rd gear. This operation will not damage the car. Additional Information: 1. For manual transmission vehicles, mastering the clutch is crucial for smooth driving. Except for starting the car, shifting gears, and low-speed braking, avoid unnecessarily pressing the clutch pedal or resting your foot on it. 2. Correct operation when starting: The key points for operating the clutch pedal when starting are 'quick, slow, and coordinated.' Initially, lift the pedal quickly; when the clutch begins to engage (noticeable by a change in the engine sound), slow down the lifting speed.

What to Do About Coolant Leakage?

Coolant leakage solution: First, locate the leakage point, then repair it and add coolant. If there is a coolant leak, it must be repaired immediately; otherwise, it may cause the engine to overheat. If the engine overheats, the car will not be able to continue driving. Coolant needs to be replaced regularly. If the coolant is not changed for a long time, its boiling point will decrease and its freezing point will increase, which can affect the normal operation of the engine. It is recommended that car owners replace the coolant on time during regular use. When replacing the coolant, be sure to go to a professional repair shop or 4S store, and ensure the old coolant is completely drained before adding new coolant.

How Much Coolant Should Be Added?

Coolant is generally added in a quantity of 5 to 6 liters, and it should be added in two steps: The first step is when the vehicle is stationary. While adding the coolant, squeeze the rubber hose by hand until the fluid level reaches the midpoint between the maximum and minimum marks. The second step is after the vehicle has been started and driven for a distance. Observe whether the coolant level drops. If it does, stop the vehicle and wait for the engine to cool down before adding more coolant until it reaches the same level as in the first step. The purpose of adding coolant is to raise the boiling point of the engine coolant and lower the freezing point of the cooling water. There are specialized test strips for measuring coolant concentration. The concentration of antifreeze is generally between 35% and 68%, with a recommended value of 50% for most vehicles, meaning a mixture of 50% antifreeze and 50% pure water to form the engine cooling water.

Can You Drive When the Coolant Light Is On?

You should not drive when the coolant light is on. Reasons for the coolant light being on: 1. Insufficient coolant; 2. Overheating; 3. Sensor system malfunction; 4. Engine failure. Solutions when the coolant light is on: 1. Determine if the engine load is too high; 2. Pull over and stop immediately; 3. Check the coolant level; 4. Inspect for coolant leaks and top up the coolant. Steps to replace coolant: 1. Open the radiator drain valve to release the coolant; 2. Turn on the tap to flush the radiator; 3. After draining the cooling system, close the radiator drain valve; 4. Add coolant through the radiator filler until the radiator is full.

What warning signs appear when a car is low on coolant?

When a car is low on coolant, the following warning signs may appear: 1. A thermometer-shaped indicator resembling a key; 2. A symbol shaped like a kettle. The primary function of coolant is to ensure the proper and efficient operation of the engine by circulating within the engine's radiator, providing anti-freeze, anti-boil, anti-rust, and anti-corrosion effects. Most coolants are colored red or green for easy identification of leaks or to distinguish them from other engine fluids. Precautions for replacing car coolant include: 1. Measure the freezing point of the coolant; 2. Prevent leaks during replacement; 3. Avoid injury from hot coolant spraying by ensuring all old coolant is completely drained; 4. Ensure the new coolant is filled to the standard level; 5. Wipe off any residual coolant from car components; 6. After completing the process, check for any leaks.
