The symptoms of a faulty thermostat in the Excelle are: the car heats up quickly, and the air conditioning does not cool. The thermostat is a valve that controls the flow path of the coolant, serving as an automatic temperature-regulating device. Its function is to automatically adjust the amount of water entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature, change the circulation range of the water, regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity, and ensure the engine operates within an appropriate temperature range. The Excelle is a 4-door, 5-seater compact sedan with body dimensions of 4468mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2611mm. It is equipped with a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

How to Clear the ABS Warning Light on the Vehicle Dashboard?

The method to clear the ABS warning light on the vehicle dashboard is to clean or replace the ABS sensor. The working principle of ABS is: during emergency braking, the highly sensitive wheel speed sensors installed on each wheel detect wheel lock-up, and the computer controls the pressure regulator to release pressure from the wheel's brake cylinder, preventing wheel lock-up. The functions of the ABS system are: 1. To prevent loss of vehicle control, increase braking distance, and improve vehicle safety; 2. To enhance the overall braking performance of the vehicle; 3. To prevent wheel lock-up during braking; 4. To ensure the driver can control the direction during braking and prevent rear axle skidding.

Can Scratched Wheel Hubs Be Repaired?

Scratched wheel hubs can be repaired, either by yourself or at a repair shop. Methods for repairing wheel hubs: Carefully inspect whether the scratch extends to the inner side of the wheel hub. If it can't be simply patched, just use paint thinner to slowly wipe around the bruised area and remove dirt. If the scratch on the wheel is deep and the dirt next to the scratch is difficult to remove, then tools are needed—just a small toothpick can thoroughly clean it. Impact of wheel hub scratches: If the wheel hub is scratched and only the paint is damaged, replacement isn't necessary. Sometimes the scratched area may appear large and seem severe, but it still doesn't require replacement because the performance isn't affected—only the aesthetics are compromised.

After jump-starting the car, you can turn off the engine after about half an hour. Steps for jump-starting a car: Take out one cable; first connect one end to the positive terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery, then connect the other end to the positive terminal of the rescued vehicle's battery.
