Antifreeze has the following functions: 1. Anti-corrosion: Antifreeze not only does not cause corrosion to the engine cooling system but also has anti-corrosion and rust removal functions; 2. High boiling point: The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius, while high-quality antifreeze coolant typically has a boiling point above 110 degrees Celsius, making it less likely to boil over in summer compared to water; 3. Anti-scaling: Using water as a coolant can cause scaling issues that trouble drivers. Scale adheres to the metal surfaces of the radiator and water jacket, gradually reducing heat dissipation efficiency and being difficult to remove. High-quality antifreeze is made with distilled water and contains anti-scaling additives, which not only prevent scale formation but also have descaling capabilities.

What is the difference between 72v and 60v?

The difference between 72v and 60v lies in the range: the 72v has a longer range than the 60v because the 72v battery has a larger capacity. A larger battery capacity provides more energy, allowing for longer discharge times, which increases both power and range. The 72v can accelerate quickly from a standstill, but it has lower safety and is harder to control. However, the 72v can travel farther and last longer than the 60v. Even though both batteries may have the same capacity of 20 milliamperes, the 72v is more powerful when climbing hills and generally has higher power output. Higher power means naturally faster speeds and better energy efficiency.

In rainy or foggy weather: If it is rainy or foggy, the distance should be increased to 200 meters. Triangle warning sign: The triangle warning sign, also known as the triangle caution sign, is a passive reflector made of plastic reflective material. When a driver stops for emergency repairs or encounters an accident on the road, the reflective properties of the triangle warning sign can alert other vehicles to take evasive action, thereby preventing secondary accidents.

What is Tire Pressure Loss?

Tire pressure loss refers to a condition where one or more of the vehicle's four tires are underinflated. It is necessary to use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of all four tires and check if the pressure values are within the specified range. If not, the pressure should be adjusted to the required level. The standard tire pressure values are usually indicated near the fuel filler cap or on the vehicle's B-pillar. For passenger cars, the front tire pressure should be between 2.2 to 2.3 bar when unloaded and 2.4 to 2.5 bar when fully loaded. The rear tire pressure should be between 2.4 to 2.5 bar when unloaded and 2.6 to 2.8 bar when fully loaded.

The Difference Between Yellow and White Guide Lines at Intersections

White and yellow lines in guide lines represent the following meanings respectively: 1. When marked on road sections, white lines are used to separate motor vehicles traveling in the same direction, motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles, or to indicate the edge of a lane. Yellow lines are used to separate opposing traffic flows or as dedicated bus lane lines. 2. When marked at intersections: solid white lines are used as guide lane lines or stop lines, or to guide the trajectory of vehicles. Solid yellow lines marked at intersections are used to indicate areas where non-motor vehicles are prohibited from entering, or as guide lines connecting the center lines of adjacent roads. 3. When marked on the roadside or curb: solid yellow lines indicate that long-term parking is prohibited along the roadside.
