When you hear a click sound and can't turn it anymore, it means the cap is tightened. Additional information is as follows: Consequences of not tightening the coolant cap properly: There will be many white marks on the cap; Coolant may leak out, and over time, the coolant level will drop. If the owner doesn't notice this in time, it may cause the engine to overheat. Precautions when adding coolant: When adding coolant, be careful not to let it come into contact with your skin, as the ethylene glycol in the coolant has solvent and corrosive properties. If it accidentally splashes onto your skin, rinse immediately with clean water to avoid skin damage. Coolant comes in different colors, mainly for easy identification and distinction; secondly, to serve as a warning to prevent accidental ingestion.

What is the appropriate tire pressure for the GAC Trumpchi GS4?

The appropriate tire pressure for the GAC Trumpchi GS4 generally ranges between 2.3 bar and 2.7 bar, and any pressure within this range is considered safe. However, during summer when temperatures are high, the tire pressure may rise above 3.0 bar even if it was initially within the normal range. Therefore, it is advisable to maintain a slightly lower tire pressure in summer, ideally between 2.3 bar and 2.5 bar. The GAC Trumpchi GS4 is positioned as an international new-generation SUV, featuring an 8-inch high-definition touchscreen and dual-mode navigation with military-grade Beidou and GPS technology for smarter route planning and more precise navigation. The vehicle is equipped with dynamic guide lines, a rearview camera, and smartphone connectivity, offering higher sensitivity.

What is the difference between Brake King and Soft Brake King?

The differences between Brake King and Soft Brake King are as follows: 1. Easy to lock up with light touch: The principle of Brake King is to disrupt the linear increase of air pressure during braking, directly bypassing the initial phase of low braking pressure and advancing the air flow, giving the impression of better braking performance. Brake King is more sensitive to light touches, making it easy to lock up the wheels, but further pressing may result in reduced effectiveness and increased tire wear. 2. Less prone to locking up when empty: Soft Brake King operates on a similar principle to Brake King, but it integrates a throttle valve in the valve body. When lightly pressed, the throttle valve comes into play, providing gentle deceleration and softer braking. It is less prone to locking up when the vehicle is empty, only locking up when fully pressed, similar to hydraulic brakes.

Why Do Cars in China Drive on the Right Side?

In China, cars are required to drive on the right side. Since most people are right-handed, driving on the right helps mitigate risks—right-handed individuals tend to apply pressure more quickly to the left, resulting in faster reactions compared to the left hand. This setup also helps avoid head-on collisions when vehicles are traveling in opposite directions. Below is an introduction to driving on the right versus the left: Differences between right-hand and left-hand driving: Most countries and regions that drive on the left side of the road were once colonies of the British Empire. Historically, left-hand driving was the global norm. Advantages and disadvantages of right-hand and left-hand driving: The primary advantage of left-hand driving stems from the human body's instinct to avoid harm. When moving forward rapidly and encountering sudden danger, people instinctively lean to the left, which helps protect the heart. The benefit of right-hand driving is that it allows drivers to maintain control of the steering wheel more easily with their left hand while using the same hand to perform complex actions like shifting gears and operating the dashboard. Since the vast majority of people are right-handed, driving on the right side is generally more advantageous.

How is the vehicle's overall dimension defined?

The overall dimensions include the vehicle length, vehicle width, and vehicle height. The vehicle length is the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the foremost and rearmost protruding parts of the vehicle. The vehicle width is the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The vehicle height is the distance between the vehicle's supporting plane and the horizontal plane touching the highest protruding part of the vehicle. Here is additional information: 1. Vehicle length: A longer body means more longitudinal usable space, providing ample legroom for both front and rear passengers, ensuring no sense of confinement. However, an excessively long body can make turning, U-turns, and parking inconvenient. 2. Width: Primarily affects seating space and maneuverability. For passenger cars, if three seats arranged side by side are to provide a spacious feel (mainly sufficient shoulder room), the vehicle width generally needs to reach 1.8 meters. 3. Vehicle height: Directly influences the vehicle's center of gravity and interior space. Most passenger cars have a height below 1.5 meters, significantly lower than the natural sitting height of a human, sacrificing some headroom for passengers. This is mainly to lower the vehicle's center of gravity, ensuring stability during high-speed cornering to prevent rollover.
