low coolant level means the car is lacking or short of antifreeze. The following is relevant knowledge about antifreeze: Characteristics of antifreeze: Over 95% of antifreeze used domestically and internationally is ethylene glycol-based aqueous antifreeze. Compared with tap water, the most notable feature of ethylene glycol is its antifreeze property, while water cannot prevent freezing. Secondly, ethylene glycol has a high boiling point, low volatility, moderate viscosity with minimal changes with temperature, and good thermal stability. Therefore, ethylene glycol-based antifreeze is an ideal coolant. Functions of antifreeze: Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, mainly used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. Antifreeze has excellent properties such as preventing freezing in winter, preventing boiling in summer, and preventing scale and corrosion all year round.

How to Fix Loud Valve Noise in Hyundai Santa Fe?

Modern Hyundai Santa Fe valve noise causes and solutions are as follows: 1. Caused by clearance between hydraulic valve lifters and camshaft (or valve seat). The clearance is mostly due to excessive wear of hydraulic lifters, causing rapid oil pressure loss inside the lifter and resulting in noise. The hydraulic lifters need to be replaced; 2. Noise caused by excessively high or low crankcase oil level. The engine oil level needs to be checked; 3. Noise caused by dirty lifters. The hydraulic lifters need to be cleaned; 4. Noise caused by oil being too thin. Replace with oil of appropriate viscosity; 5. Noise caused by low oil pressure. The cause of low oil pressure needs to be checked.

Where is the air conditioning air intake vent of a car located?

There are two air intakes for a car's air conditioning system. One is for the external circulation, located in the box with the air filter under the front windshield; the other is for the internal circulation, which consists of two round openings on both sides of the dashboard inside the cabin. Most cars have air filtration devices installed for the external circulation intake, such as pollen filters or dust filters; however, most internal circulation systems do not have air filtration devices. Below is a related introduction about the functions of a car's air conditioning system: 1. The air conditioner can control the temperature inside the cabin, heating or cooling the air to maintain a comfortable level; 2. The air conditioner can remove moisture from the air. Dry air absorbs human sweat, creating a more comfortable environment; 3. The air conditioner can draw in fresh air, providing ventilation; 4. The air conditioner can filter the air, removing dust and pollen.

What Does Automotive Autonomous Driving Assistance System Mean?

Autonomous Driving Assistance Technology (ADAS) utilizes various sensors installed on the vehicle to continuously sense the surrounding environment during driving, collect data, identify, detect, and track static and dynamic objects, and combine with navigation map data for systematic computation and analysis. This enables the driver to anticipate potential hazards in advance, effectively enhancing driving comfort and safety. Driving assistance technology falls within the L1 and L2 levels of autonomous driving technology: 1. At the L1 stage, the vehicle begins to intervene in either braking or steering control, sharing the driver's workload. Key features include Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), and Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB). 2. At the L2 stage, the vehicle starts to take over multiple longitudinal and lateral controls, with driving operations performed by the system. However, the driver must still maintain attention to the driving state to take over the vehicle at any time.
