High water temperature in Dongfeng Dolika may be caused by vehicle issues or improper driver operation. Below are the relevant explanations regarding electric vehicle energy recovery: 1. Internal vehicle causes: (1) The radiator grille is blocked by a large amount of dust and debris, affecting heat dissipation; the cooling water is not fully filled or severe scaling occurs inside the radiator. (2) The thermostat is damaged, and the fan cannot fully open when the working temperature exceeds 90°. (3) The radiator fan is not working properly, and the fan belt or water pump belt is loose. (4) The lower radiator hose is collapsed, or the water pump is malfunctioning. 2. Driver operation causes: Whether the ignition timing is too early or excessively delayed. These are common causes; other issues require further analysis.

The Dongfeng Dolica's high water temperature issue is something I've personally encountered several times while driving this truck. Every time the water temperature rises, it makes me nervous. The most common cause is insufficient coolant, possibly due to a leak or simply not being filled enough, especially during long-distance drives when the engine gets extremely hot. A dirty or clogged radiator is another culprit; if the fan can't spin, the heat can't dissipate, and the water temperature is bound to rise in summer traffic jams. Also, if the thermostat gets stuck and doesn't open, the hot coolant won't circulate, like a boiler under pressure. If the water pump fails and the coolant can't flow, it's game over. Additionally, for older vehicles, aging hoses or loose belts affecting the fan can cause the water temperature to spike. I once experienced this while hauling goods on a mountain road—the temperature gauge hit the red line, so I quickly pulled over, shut off the engine to cool it down, and narrowly avoided engine seizure. That’s why drivers should always keep an eye on the dashboard and pull over safely at the first sign of trouble to check. Veteran truckers know these tricks all too well.

What are the differences between Lexus GS and ES?

Lexus ES and GS have obvious differences. The ES is based on a front-wheel-drive platform, while the GS uses a rear-wheel-drive platform. The ES is positioned as a mid-to-large luxury sedan, whereas the GS is positioned as a mid-to-large luxury sports sedan. Here is some relevant information: 1. Lexus implemented a dual-car strategy, introducing the new ES model to the domestic market in 2006. The ES follows a business-style approach, while the GS takes a sporty route. The engines they are equipped with are also different—the ES comes with a 3.5L engine, while the GS is equipped with 3.0L and 4.3L engines. 2. Due to the popularity of business-style models at the time, and the fact that the ES's body dimensions appeared more sleek and imposing compared to the GS, the ES achieved much better sales than the GS after entering the domestic market, becoming the best-selling model in the Lexus lineup at the time. Lexus was very smart and understood the needs of domestic consumers well.

What is the difference between automatic and manual cars?

The main differences between automatic and manual cars are: 1. The difficulty of operation varies. Automatic transmissions primarily rely on the hydraulic transmission principle of the torque converter to complete gear shifts automatically. Even beginners with little knowledge of cars can quickly master it. It involves less physical effort and is more convenient and relaxing. Manual transmissions mainly depend on the driver manually pressing the clutch to change gears, which is more complicated and requires the driver to possess higher driving skills. Therefore, it involves more physical effort and is more mentally taxing. 2. The safety performance differs. Coasting in neutral with a manual transmission during turns can lead to risks such as understeer and tailspin. Additionally, if the engine stalls during idle, the car may lose power steering and braking, increasing safety hazards while driving. Automatic transmission cars cannot coast in neutral and maintain power support throughout the journey, making driving safer. However, manual transmission cars have a clutch, whereas automatic transmission cars do not. Many automatic transmission cars are prone to safety accidents where the accelerator is mistakenly pressed instead of the brake, a risk that manual transmission cars do not have.

Can I use an electronic ID for the Subject 1 test?

You need to bring your ID card for the test, as electronic IDs cannot be used. If you don't have an ID card, you can apply for a temporary ID, which holds the same validity as a regular ID. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the Subject 1 test can be taken twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it for free. If you fail the second attempt, the test is terminated, and you can only reschedule after ten days. The Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, including single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the session. The Subject 1 test is computer-based and lasts 45 minutes. Subject 1 test content: Regulations on driver's licenses and motor vehicle management; Road traffic conditions and regulations; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Regulations on road traffic accident handling; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and cargo vehicles; Special knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 test precautions: Candidates should dress appropriately—no slippers are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the test room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the test room. At the identity verification area, you will be assigned a seat. Once seated, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can retake it the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Without a signature, the result is invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each test allows one retake if you fail. If you don't take the retake or fail it, the test is terminated, and you must reschedule. For Subject 2 and Subject 3, there are only five attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests can be rescheduled after ten days. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, your passing score for the road driving skills test remains valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 covers laws, regulations, and knowledge related to road traffic safety. Subject 2 is the field driving skills test. Subject 3 includes two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (as per the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123) does not include "Subject 4."
