Adding coolant involves the following steps: 1. Tighten the radiator drain switch and fill the radiator with coolant until it overflows. The typical coolant capacity is 4 to 5 liters. 2. Tighten the radiator filler cap. 3. Fill the engine coolant reservoir until the liquid level reaches the full mark. 4. Warm up the engine until the thermostat valve opens. 5. Turn off the engine and wait until the coolant cools down. 6. Remove the radiator filler cap and check the coolant level. Coolant, also known as antifreeze coolant, prevents the engine from freezing in winter and cools the engine when it generates high temperatures during operation, ensuring the vehicle functions properly in various environments.

What Causes Small Bumps on Car Paint?

Small bumps on the paint of a newly purchased car are likely caused by dust particles that were not properly cleaned off the surface before painting, resulting in imperfections on the paint finish. Below is relevant information: When picking up the car, first check the odometer reading, which is usually under 100 kilometers. Also, inspect the radiator fins for debris, the integrity of the seat protection packaging, and whether the interior, including the driver and passenger areas and the dashboard, is clean. Additionally, pay attention to the gap between the car's manufacturing date and the pickup date. If the gap is too long, it might be a display or refurbished car. In such cases, check for the presence of tire tread hairs, which are usually clearly visible on new car tires.

Can a B2 driver go on the highway during the probationary period?

B2 probationary period drivers are not allowed to drive on the highway alone. During the probationary period, if a driver operates a motor vehicle on the highway, they must be accompanied by a driver who has held a driving license for the corresponding or higher vehicle category for more than three years. The accompanying driver should sit in the front passenger seat to guide the probationary driver. Below are the relevant details: Introduction to the probationary period: The first 12 months after a motor vehicle driver initially obtains a driving license is considered the probationary period. Regulations may vary by region. During this period, a probationary driver must display a probationary sign on the rear of the vehicle. Failure to display the probationary sign as required may result in a small fine. Introduction to the B2 driving license: The B2 license allows the holder to drive heavy or medium-sized trucks, as well as large, heavy, or medium-sized specialized vehicles. Heavy and medium-sized trucks mainly refer to cargo trucks, such as the large dump trucks commonly seen on roads. Large, heavy, or medium-sized specialized vehicles include those equipped with special equipment or tools, such as water sprinklers, concrete mixers, and fire trucks. The B2 license also permits driving other vehicle types, including C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed trucks), C4 (three-wheeled vehicles), and M (wheeled self-propelled machinery).

Can a car cover be used in rainy weather?

No. Car covers are not waterproof, so they should not be left on the car after rain. Once the weather clears, the cover should be removed to allow the car to dry. Precautions for using car covers: 1. Do not use a car cover immediately after parking: In summer, this can affect heat dissipation and reduce the lifespan of the cover. For example, aluminum-coated car covers have excellent heat insulation properties, but using them immediately after parking can trap heat inside the car. 2. When using in northern regions during winter: Applying the cover immediately after parking can lead to issues the next day, such as ice forming on the hood and sticking to the cover or pulling off the inner lining. This happens because the residual heat from the hood creates a temperature difference inside and outside the cover, causing moisture in the air to condense into droplets. 3. Avoid covering a wet car: Over time, watermarks can form and are difficult to remove. Typically, watermarks can only be polished out through car detailing. Additionally, prolonged moisture on the car's paint can accelerate oxidation, and trapped moisture under the cover makes it hard to evaporate, which can lead to rusting of internal components over time.

What are the reasons why the car won't start or ignite?

The reasons why the car won't start: 1. Insufficient car battery power or low fuel level: This is the easiest item to check and the most likely cause of the car not starting. The fuel level is easy to determine. Turn the ignition key to the 'on' position, or for push-button start models, press the start button twice without pressing the brake pedal. Turn on the headlights, and if the light noticeably dims or doesn't turn on at all, and then press the horn. If the horn sounds significantly weaker than usual or doesn't sound at all, it can be determined that the battery power is insufficient. 2. Steering wheel lock prevents starting: This is a common anti-theft feature in many small cars. After removing the key, if the steering wheel is not straightened or has been turned, the steering wheel self-locking function will activate, causing the steering lock pin and steering column to engage, making the steering wheel immobile and preventing the car from starting. 3. Check the car's gear position: Generally, the 'P' (Park) or 'N' (Neutral) gear is the correct position for starting an automatic transmission car. If the owner carelessly leaves the gear in 'R' (Reverse) or another gear, the result will not only be the car not starting but also a potential safety hazard.

What does the F3 display on a car refrigerator mean?

When a car refrigerator displays the F3 error, it indicates that the current temperature cannot meet the required level, primarily due to excessively high ambient temperature. Below is the relevant information: 1. Definition of car refrigerator: A car refrigerator refers to a portable cooling device that can be carried in a vehicle. It has become a popular new-generation cooling and refrigeration appliance in the international market in recent years. 2. Classification of car refrigerators: There are mainly two types of car refrigerators available in the market. One is the semiconductor car refrigerator, which operates on the principle of electronic chip cooling. The other is the compressor car refrigerator, which uses traditional compressor technology found in conventional refrigerators. It can achieve lower cooling temperatures, ranging from -18°C to 10°C, with high cooling efficiency, capable of making ice and preserving freshness, but it is larger in size.
