What is the set light on the new Santana?

The set light on the new Santana is the tire pressure monitoring light. When it illuminates, it indicates that the inflation pressure of a certain wheel's tire is too low, requiring a check of the tire inflation pressure, or there may be a system fault that needs to be addressed at a Volkswagen dealership. Tire Pressure Monitoring: Tire pressure monitoring is the real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation, alerting the driver to tire leaks and low pressure to ensure driving safety. Statistics show that tire blowouts account for up to 70% of severe traffic accidents, with insufficient tire pressure being the leading cause of all factors that can lead to blowouts. Tire Pressure: Strictly speaking, it refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Nowadays, many tires are not filled with air, and for these tires, the pressure requirements are quite stringent. For tires filled with air, the pressure is related to seasonal changes. Moreover, tire pressure is closely linked to vehicle performance, such as comfort and load capacity, and it also affects the lifespan of the tires.

Does the BMW 5 Series require specialized coolant?

The BMW 5 Series does not require specialized coolant. Any brand coolant that matches the quality and composition of the original factory coolant can be used. Different brands of coolant may have varying production formulas, and mixing them could lead to chemical reactions between multiple additives, potentially rendering the additives ineffective. Coolant composition: The main components of coolant are: 50% purified water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances. Types of coolant: Coolants are generally divided into three types: ethanol-water, glycerol-water, and ethylene glycol-water. How to choose coolant: The basic indicators of coolant are freezing point and boiling point. The market offers coolants with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. It is advisable to choose a coolant with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region.

What does the SRS display on the Mercedes-Benz R300 mean?

The SRS display on the Mercedes-Benz R300 refers to the airbag system. An illuminated SRS warning light indicates a fault in the airbag or seat belt pretensioner system. Airbag System: A passive safety protection system that, when used in conjunction with seat belts, provides effective collision protection for occupants. In the event of a car collision, the airbag can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by approximately 80%. Precautions: If the airbag warning light on the dashboard remains illuminated, it indicates that the airbag system failed the self-check during vehicle startup. While this fault does not affect normal driving, it means the airbags may not deploy during an accident, failing to provide passive protection. Therefore, it is essential to take the vehicle to a 4S shop or professional repair facility as soon as possible for maintenance.
