This is the coolant temperature warning light. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. Pull over to a safe area: When the coolant temperature warning light comes on, you should stop and check, noting that you should stop but not turn off the engine. Park the vehicle in a safe area and do not turn off the engine. Let the engine continue running at idle speed and open the hood to dissipate heat. If you see steam coming from the hood, it's best to observe first and not open it hastily to avoid burns. 2. Normal coolant temperature: The normal engine coolant temperature should be around 90℃. If it becomes too high or too low, or rises or drops rapidly, then there is a problem with the vehicle's cooling system.

How to Deal with Ants in the Car?

To eliminate ants in the car, you can find a piece of newspaper and place a piece of milk candy on it, letting it melt under the sun. Then, place the melted milk candy along with the newspaper in an area of the car where ants are most active. Since ants are highly attracted to sweets, they will gradually gather on the milk candy. Once a significant number of ants have gathered, simply discard the newspaper.
