Car coolant is consumed too quickly due to insufficient coolant. Here are detailed explanations and solutions: Leakage, insufficient coolant: After a coolant system leak, the antifreeze level drops, leading to an increase in antifreeze temperature. If you find the antifreeze level is low, the first step is to check for leaks. If there are no leaks, promptly add the same type of antifreeze. Do not add tap water or other types of antifreeze to avoid dilution or sedimentation, which could cause failure or malfunction. Solution: Replace the coolant. Radiator fan malfunction: A faulty radiator fan can cause the heat generated by the car engine at medium to high speeds to transfer to the antifreeze without timely dissipation, leading to an increase in antifreeze temperature and resulting in issues like "boiling over." While driving, always monitor the antifreeze temperature. If any abnormalities are detected, reduce speed and stop the car, but do not turn off the engine. Check if there are any malfunctions in the radiator fan or circulation water pump. Solution: Replace the coolant.

How to Check the Tire Pressure Monitoring on Geely Emgrand?

The method to check the tire pressure monitoring on the Emgrand is as follows: 1. The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) in the Emgrand GL does not display the specific pressure and temperature values for each tire. It only shows a TPMS warning symbol and a tire pressure anomaly warning symbol. These two symbols are located on the dashboard in front of the driver's seat. 2. The yellow TPMS warning symbol appears in the black inner circle between the 200 and 220 marks on the speedometer. The yellow tire pressure anomaly warning symbol is displayed in the black inner circle above the 'km/h' on the speedometer. 3. When the tire pressure and TPMS in the Emgrand GL are normal, both lights remain off. If they light up, it is important to be alert and choose a safe place to stop and check the tires. These two warning symbols will briefly illuminate for a few seconds when the Emgrand GL is first started, then quickly turn off automatically. This is part of the vehicle's computer system self-check and not a false alarm. Everything is normal. Only if the symbols persistently flash or remain lit during driving should you take it seriously, stop at a safe location, and inspect the tires.

Why does the trunk not respond when pressing the key?

Here are the specific reasons why the remote key fails to open the trunk: 1. Press and hold the trunk button on the key for three to five seconds. 2. The car battery is dead, causing the vehicle to fail to receive signals, or the car remote key may be out of power, resulting in the inability to open the trunk. 3. The car remote key may malfunction due to high-power radio signals of the same frequency in the vicinity, preventing the car from receiving commands from the remote key, thus causing the remote key to fail. Radio signals can interfere with nearby car remotes, leading to malfunction.

Does turning on ECO mode save fuel in a car?

Turning on ECO mode in a car can save fuel. ECO mode primarily makes comprehensive judgments and analyses during vehicle movement regarding factors that affect fuel consumption, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit then calculates the optimal fuel quantity to supply the engine for operation, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving modes. Simply put, it controls the engine speed with appropriate gear positions to minimize unnecessary fuel consumption. There are situations where it is unnecessary to activate ECO mode: When the car is driving at high speeds (up to 100km/h), even if ECO mode is turned on, the vehicle's computer will prioritize speed, causing the ECO mode to automatically deactivate. When high torque output is needed, such as when climbing a hill, the engine computer will prioritize ensuring and providing sufficient power to drive the vehicle, causing the ECO mode to automatically deactivate.
