What does the temperature display on the new Excelle dashboard mean?
2 Answers
The temperature display on the new Excelle dashboard means: The water temperature is indicated by the letters C and H, where C represents a water temperature of 60 degrees Celsius. Normal temperature: The water temperature gauge will only start moving when the temperature reaches above 60 degrees Celsius. H indicates a water temperature of 120 degrees Celsius, meaning each division represents 7.5 degrees Celsius. The normal operating temperature for a car's water temperature is around 90 degrees Celsius. That is, the needle of the water temperature gauge should oscillate around the middle position under normal conditions. Thermostat malfunction: If the water temperature is abnormally high, it may indicate a faulty thermostat. You can open the engine hood and touch the radiator's inlet and outlet pipes to check for any temperature difference. If there is a temperature difference, it suggests a thermostat malfunction. It could also be due to a dashboard fault or a faulty water temperature sensor.
That temperature display shows the outside ambient air temperature, usually positioned prominently on the dashboard. As a mom who regularly drives the new Excelle to take my kids to school, checking this reading every morning is incredibly useful. For instance, when winter temperatures drop below 5°C, the snowflake icon on the dashboard flashes to warn of potential icy road conditions, prompting me to slow down in advance. During summer heat alerts, the AC automatically increases fan speed based on this reading. Developing the habit of glancing at this number gives me great peace of mind when driving. It also helps prevent windshield fogging - when starting out in cold winter mornings, I promptly adjust the AC to defog mode for safer driving.
