Automatic transmission overheating is caused by excessive automatic transmission fluid temperature, internal mechanical jamming of the automatic transmission, or excessively high temperatures of surrounding connected components, such as a clogged and overheated exhaust pipe catalytic converter. Below are some solutions for overheating: 1. Stop driving: If the transmission triggers a high-temperature warning, immediately stop driving and let the vehicle idle for 10 minutes. 2. Enhance cooling: If the vehicle's cooling capacity is insufficient, consider appropriate modifications such as installing a larger radiator, adding cooling fans, or switching to higher-grade transmission fluid. 3. Regular inspection: Periodically clean the transmission radiator, especially after driving on muddy roads, to ensure its cooling efficiency remains optimal.

How often should the spark plugs of the Geely Freedom Cruiser be replaced?

Geely Freedom Cruiser spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. Methods to determine if the spark plugs are damaged: Remove the spark plugs and observe them. Based on the appearance and color, you can judge the condition of the spark plugs. Normal spark plugs have an insulator skirt and electrodes that appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug has a reddish-brown insulator skirt, an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm, and no signs of electrode burning. If the spark plugs are contaminated with oil or deposits but are not damaged, they can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plugs are severely damaged, showing signs such as blistering at the top, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes, the cause of the damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace the spark plugs with new ones. Additionally, if the spark plugs appear black as if smoked, it indicates that the wrong heat range was selected or that the air-fuel mixture is too rich, with oil seeping up.
