Here are some reasons why the brake light may stay on: 1. Handbrake not released: If the handbrake is not fully or partially released, it will cause the brake light to stay on, reminding the driver to release the handbrake before starting the car. 2. Insufficient brake fluid: Low brake fluid levels can affect the car's braking performance and driving safety. 3. Leakage in the brake master cylinder or brake lines: If the brake fluid was recently topped up but the car still shows low brake fluid levels, it's necessary to check for leaks in the brake master cylinder or lines.

How Often Should the Mondeo Radiator Be Refilled?

Mondeo radiator coolant needs to be refilled when it reaches the minimum or warning line. The car radiator generally refers to the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is part of the car's cooling system. The radiator in the engine water cooling system consists of three parts: the inlet chamber, outlet chamber, main plate, and radiator core. The maintenance methods for the car radiator are as follows: 1. Park the vehicle and turn off the engine. After the coolant temperature drops, open the expansion tank and add radiator cleaner; 2. Start the engine and let it idle for 5-10 minutes after the cooling fan starts working; 3. Turn off the engine and remove the front bumper of the vehicle. When removing, ensure all fixing screws are loosened, and then slowly remove from both ends to the middle, being careful not to break the fixing clips; 4. After ensuring the coolant temperature has completely cooled, drain the radiator cleaner along with the coolant, and finally replace it with new engine coolant.

How to Check the Production Date on Glass?

Here are the methods to check the production date of automotive glass: 1. The production date of the glass is usually located in the code at the lower left or lower right corner of the window glass. 2. The date is represented by small dots and numbers, where the number indicates the production year, and the dots indicate the month. The specific representation methods are as follows: (1) The number is the production year of the glass, representing the last digit of the year. You can determine it based on the vehicle's manufacturing date. (2) The small black dots indicate the production month of the glass. Some glass has the dots in front of the number, while others have them behind the number. (3) If the black dots are in front of the number, subtract the number of dots from 7. If the black dots are behind the number, subtract the number of dots from 13. The result is the production month of the glass. (4) Some glass may also have a few larger black dots after the production year and month, which are used to specify the week of the month.
