What Does the Car Radiator Symbol Look Like?
1 Answers
The car radiator symbol is an icon on the instrument panel that resembles a thermometer with water waves below it. When the engine is running normally, the coolant system's water temperature ranges between 90 and 98 degrees Celsius. If the engine's water temperature exceeds 98 degrees, the temperature warning icon will light up red, alerting the driver that the engine is overheating or the coolant level is too low. Immediate inspection is required to prevent serious damage to the engine. The radiator's filler cap is typically located on the right side of the engine compartment, usually near the windshield washer fluid filler. The radiator filler symbol is marked at the filler position, often indicating the antifreeze model (e.g., G12) and displaying the maximum and minimum level marks, commonly referred to as the antifreeze reservoir.
