If the dashboard displays a 'Clean Cooling System' warning, check whether the cooling system is functioning normally and whether the engine coolant temperature occasionally shows abnormalities, which may trigger the dashboard alert. If the vehicle is still under warranty, you can also visit a 4S dealership for a free inspection and resolution. Below are relevant details about the Geely Emgrand GL: 1. Detail 1: The Geely Emgrand GL measures 4725mm in length, 1802mm in width, and 1478mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. Its main competitors in the Chinese compact car segment include the Chery Arrizo 7, Changan Eado, the all-new Besturn B50, and the Roewe 360. The Emgrand GL boasts superior body length and wheelbase compared to other models in its class. 2. Detail 2: The Emgrand GL also poses a significant challenge to entry-level compact sedans from joint-venture brands, such as the Honda City and Volkswagen Jetta. On the evening of September 20, 2016, Geely officially launched the all-new Emgrand GL compact sedan, offering seven variants powered by either a 1.3T or a 1.8L engine, with eight color options available. 3. Detail 3: On January 1, 2018, the updated Geely Emgrand GL was officially released, featuring seven models equipped with either a 1.4T or a 1.8L engine. In addition to the new 1.4T engine, the updated model also received upgrades in exterior design, interior features, and configurations.

As a long-time car owner, I have to say this warning is essentially your car telling you that the cooling system is a bit dirty and needs cleaning. The cooling system is responsible for keeping the engine from overheating, and after prolonged driving, dust, bugs, and other debris can easily clog the radiator. When this dashboard symbol appears, it means the car has detected a blockage or abnormally high temperatures. I've driven many cars, and once encountered a similar situation that nearly left me stranded on the road—fortunately, I cleaned it in time. My advice is not to ignore this warning. First, check the radiator surface at the front of the car for any foreign objects. A soft brush or water rinse might solve the issue. If it's severe, it's best to consult a professional to prevent engine damage. Regular radiator cleaning during routine maintenance is key, especially after long summer drives when buildup is more likely.

Can a Puncture on the Sidewall of a Tubeless Tire Be Repaired?

Tubeless tire sidewall punctures can be repaired. The repair method is as follows: 1. Remove the Wheel: Take off the wheel and remove the tire. When removing the tire, it's best to use a bamboo stick to pry one side first, then press both sides of the tire toward the middle to gently remove it, being careful not to damage the edges of the tire. 2. Clean the Debris: After cleaning any debris from the puncture, use sandpaper inside the tire to roughen the area around the puncture, apply cold patch glue (you can apply more, but only once), wait 5-7 minutes, then apply a large cold patch inside the tire. For higher speeds, you can apply a double layer of cold patch to increase repair strength and stick two layers of the same size cold patch at a symmetrical position inside the tire to maintain wheel balance. 3. Inflate: After reinstalling the tire, if inflating manually, start vigorously to quickly inflate and seal both sides of the tire, then install the valve stem and inflate to the specified pressure before tightening the valve stem. Finally, check for leaks; if there are none, the tire can be reinstalled and used.

How much fuel is consumed when sleeping in a car with the air conditioning on for one hour?

Each vehicle has different fuel consumption, so the amount of fuel consumed while idling for an hour may vary. For example, the Skoda Kodiaq 2.0T consumes approximately 1.6L of fuel per hour when idling, while the Toyota Yaris 1.5L consumes about 1.4L of fuel per hour when idling. Below are some relevant details: 1. From the perspective of the car's air conditioning configuration: It is mainly divided into manual and automatic types. Generally, manual air conditioning systems are equipped with fixed-capacity compressors, where adjusting the airflow volume does not affect the compressor. 2. Turning on the air conditioning for cooling: The compressor will always operate at full speed, so the greater the airflow, the higher the electricity consumption, and theoretically, the higher the fuel consumption. 3. Adjusting the temperature in manual air conditioning: It simply mixes more or less hot air into the cold air. In practical use, the interior temperature of the car is unlikely to reach conditions that would stop the compressor from running.

Does overflowing windshield washer fluid have any impact?

No harm. Reasons are as follows: 1. Natural drainage: The windshield washer fluid will naturally flow onto the ground. 2. Sealing: Key parts of the engine compartment are sealed, such as the engine box and wiring. Additional information: The functions of windshield washer fluid are as follows: 1. Cleaning performance: Windshield cleaner is composed of various surfactants and additives. Surfactants usually have functions such as wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing, thus playing a role in cleaning and removing dirt. 2. Antifreeze performance: The presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol can significantly lower the freezing point of the liquid, thereby playing an antifreeze role and quickly dissolving frost. 3. Anti-fog performance: A single-molecule protective layer forms on the glass surface. This protective film can prevent the formation of fog droplets, ensuring the windshield is clear and transparent with a clear view. 4. Anti-static performance: After cleaning with windshield cleaner, substances adsorbed on the glass surface can eliminate the charge on the glass surface, providing anti-static performance. 5. Lubrication performance: The windshield cleaner contains ethylene glycol, which has high viscosity and can act as a lubricant, reducing friction between the wiper and the glass to prevent scratches. 6. Anti-corrosion performance: Windshield cleaner contains various corrosion inhibitors, which have no corrosive effect on any metal, and are absolutely safe for car paint and rubber.

How Long Does a Vehicle Purchase Quota Remain Valid Before Expiration?

Vehicle purchase quotas expire after six months of inactivity. Additional Information: 1. Vehicle Purchase Quota: A vehicle purchase quota represents the eligibility to purchase and license a car. For instance, if only 20,000 license plates are issued monthly but demand exceeds supply, a lottery system is implemented. Eligible participants can enter the draw, and only those selected gain the right to license their vehicles—this selection constitutes obtaining a quota. 2. Lottery Eligibility Requirements: According to the "Interim Provisions on the Regulation of the Quantity of Small Passenger Vehicles in Beijing," individuals eligible for the lottery must not have a small passenger vehicle registered in their name within the city and must hold a valid driver's license, meaning one driver is limited to purchasing one vehicle. Additionally, applicants must meet one of the following five criteria: Beijing household registration; active-duty military personnel or armed police stationed in Beijing; Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan residents, overseas Chinese, or foreigners with valid ID residing in Beijing for over one year; non-local residents holding a valid "Beijing Work Residence Permit"; or non-local residents holding a valid Beijing temporary residence permit who have paid social insurance and personal income tax in Beijing for five consecutive years (or more).

What is the purpose of a central differential lock?

The function of a central differential lock: It can enhance a vehicle's off-road capability on poor road surfaces. When one driving axle spins freely, the differential can be quickly locked, turning the two driving axles into a rigid connection. This allows most or even all of the torque to be transmitted to the non-slipping driving axle, fully utilizing its adhesion to generate sufficient traction for the vehicle to continue moving. Different differentials employ various locking methods. Common differential lock types include: forced locking, high-friction self-locking, jaw coupling, Torsen, and viscous coupling. The jaw coupling type is often used in medium and heavy-duty trucks.
