It is normal for the fan to run for a few minutes after parking. Here is some relevant information about automotive cooling fans: 1. Axial fan: The blades of an axial fan push air to flow in the same direction as the axis. The impeller of an axial fan is somewhat similar to a propeller. During operation, the majority of the airflow moves parallel to the axis, in other words, along the direction of the axis. The power consumption of an axial fan is lowest when the inlet airflow is free air at 0 static pressure, and it increases as the back pressure of the airflow rises during operation. 2. Centrifugal fan: When a centrifugal fan operates, the blades push air to flow in a direction perpendicular to the axis (i.e., radially). The intake is along the axis direction, while the exhaust is perpendicular to the axis direction. In most cases, an axial fan can achieve the cooling effect. However, sometimes, if the airflow needs to rotate 90 degrees to be discharged or a higher air pressure is required, a centrifugal fan must be selected. Strictly speaking, a blower also belongs to the category of centrifugal fans.

How to Check the Model Year of a Vehicle?

Methods to check the model year of a vehicle: 1. Refer to the manufacturer's manual provided at the time of purchase, which includes parameters such as the manufacturing date, engine displacement, and power; 2. The production date is also indicated on the vehicle's nameplate, usually located below the passenger-side door—simply open the door to view it; 3. Directly inquire with the manufacturer or the 4S dealership; 4. Check the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)—the 17-digit VIN code located under the windshield, where the 10th digit indicates the production year. The vehicle nameplate is a label that displays the basic characteristics of the vehicle, including the brand, model, engine power, gross weight, load capacity or passenger capacity, manufacturing serial number, production date, and manufacturer name.

What suspension does the Southeast DX3 use?

The Southeast DX3 uses a MacPherson independent suspension for the front and a multi-link independent suspension for the rear. In automobiles, suspensions can be categorized into independent and non-independent types. With an independent suspension, there is no connection between the two wheels on the same axle, meaning no motion interference between them. In contrast, a non-independent suspension connects the two wheels on the same axle, resulting in motion interference between them. The Southeast DX3 is positioned as a compact SUV, with dimensions of 4354mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1654mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. In terms of exterior design, the DX3 features a front fascia with the distinctive family characteristics of Southeast Motors, where the grille integrates seamlessly with the standard dual-L-shaped eagle-eye lens headlights, giving the front end a stylish and dynamic appearance.

What do M+ and M- mean in a car?

M stands for Manual, indicating the manual gear shifting mode. Generally, the + and - signs on an M-gear transmission mean shifting gears by pushing the gear lever forward or backward or using the steering wheel paddle shifters. Below are the technical requirements for gear shifting: 1. Timely: Master the appropriate gear shifting timing, meaning neither upshifting too early nor downshifting too late. 2. Correct: The coordination of the clutch pedal, accelerator pedal, and gear lever should be accurate and harmonious, with precise positioning. 3. Smooth: After shifting into a new gear, release the clutch pedal promptly and smoothly. 4. Swift: The action should be quick to shorten the gear shifting time, reduce the loss of the car's kinetic energy, and lower fuel consumption.

Can You Start the Engine If Water Enters the Exhaust Pipe?

If only a small amount of water enters the exhaust pipe, you can still start the engine; however, if a large amount of water enters the exhaust pipe, it is advisable not to start the engine. A significant amount of water in the exhaust pipe can cause the engine to stall. If you attempt to start the engine under such conditions, it may lead to deformation of the engine connecting rod or even cylinder puncture. The exhaust pipe is a device designed to reduce vibration and noise, facilitate installation, and extend the lifespan of the exhaust muffler system. It is installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler, providing a flexible connection for the entire exhaust system. Exhaust pipes are primarily used in light vehicles, compact cars, buses, motorcycles, and similar vehicles.
