Reasons for the reduction of antifreeze: 1. Unreasonable design of the cooling system; 2. Leakage; 3. Poor circulation leading to rapid consumption; 4. Coolant entering the cylinder and being burned or entering the oil pan. A shortage of antifreeze in a car can easily cause the engine to overheat, leading to engine damage. The normal operating temperature of an engine is between 90 and 120 degrees. Once the antifreeze is insufficient, especially in summer, it can easily cause risks such as engine overheating. Antifreeze has the characteristics of a high boiling point and a low freezing point, with a boiling point around 110 degrees, which can effectively maintain the engine at normal operating temperature and protect the engine. Moreover, since water is corrosive and can produce scale that affects cooling efficiency, it is necessary to ensure that the antifreeze in the car's radiator is within the reasonable range, i.e., between the upper and lower limits marked on the radiator.

What is a Parking Brake Lever?

The operating device that enables the vehicle body to be fixed on the ground or a certain plane without relative movement. Below is an introduction to the parking brake: 1. System: The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB: Electrical-Park-Brake) integrates the temporary braking function during driving with the long-term braking function after parking, and realizes the parking brake through electronic control. The electronic handbrake achieves parking braking through electronic control, with the same working principle as the mechanical handbrake—both rely on the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the traditional mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. 2. Advantage: Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the handbrake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on a slope. The AUTOHOLD automatic parking function, however, provides precise parking force through a controller based on data from a slope sensor. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from sensors such as the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, and throttle pedal sensor.

Should I Use D Gear or S Gear When Exiting an Underground Garage?

Use D gear when exiting an underground garage. Below is a detailed introduction to the car gears: 1. R gear (Reverse gear): When this gear is engaged, the hydraulic system reverse gear oil circuit is connected, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse for backward movement. Do not forcibly shift to "R" gear when the vehicle is not completely stopped, as this may damage the transmission. 2. N gear (Neutral gear): When neutral gear is engaged, the planetary gear system idles and cannot output power. 3. D gear (Drive gear): When the gear shift lever is in this position, the hydraulic system control device automatically connects the corresponding forward gear oil circuit based on the throttle opening signal and vehicle speed signal. It can automatically shift up or down with changes in driving speed, achieving automatic transmission function. 4. P gear (Parking gear): Uses a mechanical device to lock the rotating part of the car tires, preventing the vehicle from moving. 5. L gear (Limited gear): The transmission can only switch between limited gears. "1" or "L" is the lowest gear of the transmission, generally used only when extremely powerful power is needed, such as climbing a steep slope or towing a heavy vehicle.
