Car coolant leakage is not necessarily a serious problem. Here is relevant information about car coolant leakage: 1. Minor dripping of antifreeze: You can continue driving. Some older vehicle models may experience minor antifreeze leakage due to aging and cracked radiator seal rings. The vehicle can still be driven, but you should monitor the dashboard water temperature gauge. If the temperature becomes excessively high, stop immediately for inspection. Timely replacement of damaged components and replenishment of antifreeze are required. 2. Severe antifreeze leakage: If there is still some antifreeze remaining in the radiator, drivers need to be cautious. You may drive slowly at low speed to the nearest auto repair shop for servicing. 3. Complete loss of antifreeze: Do not drive in this situation. Without antifreeze, continued driving will cause the engine to overheat without proper cooling, leading to potential damage. Contact a mechanic for on-site repairs or arrange for towing to a repair shop.

What are the reasons for a diesel engine emitting black smoke and lacking power?

The reasons for a diesel engine emitting black smoke and lacking power are insufficient air intake or excessive fuel injection. When this occurs, the vehicle owner needs to conduct an inspection. Diesel engines do not require spark plugs to ignite the combustible mixture; they lack spark plugs and rely on the high temperature and pressure at the end of the compression stroke to ignite the combustible mixture. This ignition method can be referred to as compression ignition. The maintenance items for diesel engines include: 1. Regularly changing the engine oil and oil filter; 2. Maintaining good crankcase ventilation; 3. Regularly cleaning the crankcase; 4. Periodically cleaning the fuel system; 5. Regular maintenance of the radiator; 6. Maintenance and cleaning of the fuel system.

Can New and Old Tires Be Used Together?

New and old tires cannot be used together. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. At the same time, they are also required to have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation. Additional Information: Tire Validity Period: Since tires are rubber products and are subject to aging issues, consumers should pay special attention to the production date of the tires. Do Not Use Tires Without the CCC Mark: Automotive tires must be certified and marked with the certification mark before they can be manufactured, sold, imported, or used in other business activities. Tires without the molded CCC mark cannot guarantee safety.

Will Insurance Fully Cover the Cost if a Car is Driven into a River?

No compensation will be provided if commercial insurance is not purchased; if purchased, the loss will be assessed. Below is detailed information regarding insurance claims for cars driven into rivers: Introduction: Pay attention to the type of car insurance you have—whether it's only compulsory traffic insurance or includes comprehensive commercial insurance. If it's only the former, the insurance company will not compensate for a car driven into a river, as compulsory insurance only covers people and property. Notes: If comprehensive commercial insurance is in place, the loss will be assessed. After all, a car driven into a river may not be completely totaled. Electrical systems will be assessed separately, and parts will be evaluated individually—all will undergo loss assessment. This assessment includes costs such as salvage and rescue fees, as well as cleaning expenses.

What is the solution for a Hill Descent Control (HDC) malfunction?

Hill Descent Control (HDC) malfunction solution: Do not force the system to descend steep slopes and proceed to a maintenance facility for inspection as soon as possible. The Hill Descent Control system, also known as the Hill Descent Control (HDC), enables drivers to smoothly navigate steep downhill sections without pressing the brake pedal, maintaining full control. Precautions for using Hill Descent Control: 1. The Hill Descent Control system must be set up before use to ensure the driver can focus on driving. After setting up the system, the driver should release all pedals to avoid interfering with its operation. 2. When descending with Hill Descent Control, the driver does not need to press any pedals. The vehicle will automatically travel at a speed of approximately 8 km/h. During automatic operation, the driver only needs to steer the vehicle.
