The C on the dashboard refers to the coolant temperature gauge. Below is relevant information about the coolant temperature gauge: 1. Introduction: The coolant temperature gauge (commonly known as the water temperature gauge) consists of two parts - the gauge itself and the coolant temperature sensor. The gauge is installed in the instrument cluster, while the sensor is mounted on the engine cylinder head's water jacket. In most modern vehicles, the coolant temperature gauge is used in conjunction with a coolant warning indicator light. 2. Working principle: The engine coolant temperature gauge indicates the temperature of the engine's cooling liquid. The temperature signal is provided by the coolant temperature sensor installed on the engine cylinder head. During normal engine operation, the display should show values between 80-100°C.

Can You Drive with a Tire Pressure Warning?

Tire pressure warning means you should not drive. When tire pressure is low, the contact area with the ground increases, generating significantly more rolling heat compared to standard pressure. This can cause deformation and accelerated fatigue of the internal cord layers, potentially leading to structural damage in severe cases. Every car's tires have a specified pressure range that directly affects their performance and responsiveness. The normal tire pressure for most vehicles falls between 230 to 250kpa, but the exact recommended value should follow the manufacturer's guidelines. Insufficient tire pressure causes the side edges to contact the ground instead of the entire tread surface.

Why is there a noise when shifting gears in an automatic transmission?

Automatic transmission shifting noise may be caused by the following reasons: 1. Lubrication: The release bearing lacks lubricant, resulting in dry friction or bearing damage. 2. Clearance: There is no gap between the release bearing and the inner end of the release lever. 3. Release bearing: Severe oil contamination or dust accumulation between the release bearing sleeve and the guide tube, or fatigue, breakage, or detachment of the release bearing return spring and pedal return spring, causing poor return of the release bearing. 4. Looseness: Excessive clearance between the driven plate spline hole and its spline shaft. 5. Spring: Annealing, fatigue, or breakage of the driven plate damping spring. 6. Rivets: Loose rivets on the driven plate friction disc or exposed rivet heads.

What is the AC button?

AC button is the cooling switch of the car air conditioning system. Its function is to activate the air conditioning compressor when pressed, which makes the air blown out by the blower become cold. The car air conditioning system consists not only of the compressor but also the condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve. The compressor is one of the main components of the refrigeration system, responsible for compressing and transporting refrigerant vapor. The method of using air conditioning for cooling is: 1. Start the engine for preheating, wait until the engine temperature pointer reaches the middle position, then turn on the cooling air conditioning; 2. Set the air circulation to external circulation to expel the cold air inside the car, wait for 2 to 3 minutes, and then set the air circulation to internal circulation.
