The radiator being broken can cause the engine to overheat, affecting its normal operation. The car radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is a key component in the car's cooling system. Its function is to dissipate heat: the coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, flows to the radiator where the heat is dissipated, and then returns to the water jacket to circulate, achieving temperature regulation. Maintenance methods for the radiator include: 1. Avoid contact with any acidic, alkaline, or other corrosive substances; 2. Use softened hard water to prevent internal blockage and scale formation; 3. During installation, avoid damaging the cooling fins or the radiator to ensure its heat dissipation capability and sealing performance.

What is the battery model for the Geely Borui car key?

The battery model is CR2025. It is a lithium manganese dioxide battery, named according to the IEC standard. Among them: C- indicates a chemical battery system with lithium metal as the negative electrode and manganese dioxide as the positive electrode; R- indicates that the battery shape is cylindrical, with F replacing it if it is square; 20 indicates the battery diameter is 20mm; 25 represents the battery height is 2.5mm. The nominal voltage is 3.0V, the endpoint voltage is 2.0V, and the rated capacity ranges from 140-170mAh. CR2025 typically has a lifespan of 5 years. If the manufacturer's production level is not high or quality control is poor, its lifespan will be significantly shortened. Domestic first-tier brand batteries can generally guarantee this lifespan. If the usage environment is ideal (sealed, room temperature, free from moisture, etc.), the lifespan can be further extended to 8 years or even 10 years. The usage time of a vehicle remote key battery is closely related to the frequency of use. The more frequently it is used, the shorter the usage time will be. If the remote key battery runs out of power, the mechanical key can be used directly to open and start the vehicle. The batteries used in car remote keys are button batteries, mainly three types: CR2016, CR2025, and CR2032. For the specific model used in each key, owners can refer to the battery model in the user manual for replacement. Button-type CR2016 battery: The usage rate of this battery in car key remotes is very high, making it one of the most common remote battery types. The battery voltage is 3V, and most car key batteries are powered by 9V, so all three batteries need to be replaced each time. Examples include Guangben, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mazda, etc. CR2016 specifications: battery diameter is 20mm, thickness is 1.6mm. Button-type CR2025 battery: Its usage rate is much lower than CR2016, but it is still used in some car keys. It is thicker than the 2016 model but has a relatively higher storage capacity. CR2025 specifications: battery diameter is 20mm, thickness is 2.5mm. This type of battery is also commonly used in audio remotes. Button-type CR2032 battery: The voltage is also 3V, but the capacity is around 200mAh, making it twice as thick as CR2016. The 3V-CR2032 lithium manganese battery belongs to the lithium-manganese dioxide structure. The positive electrode material is chemically stable manganese dioxide, the negative electrode material is lithium metal, and the electrolyte is a lithium battery. The main components of the electrolyte are ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, propylene carbonate, and lithium perchlorate. Its shape resembles a button, hence it is called a button lithium battery or lithium manganese button battery. Button-type CR2450 battery: Compared to the other three models, it is thicker and larger, with a diameter of 24.5mm and a height of 5.0mm. The rated current value of CR2450 is 0.2mA, mainly used in low-power electronic products. Generally, the battery can provide an output current of 0.001mA to 5mA, with a continuous output current of up to 15mA and a flash output current of up to 30mA, meeting the requirements of most small electronic products for light emission, sound production, and radio frequency output.

Is Wheel Alignment Necessary After Changing Tires?

Wheel alignment is not necessary after changing tires; only wheel balancing is required. Situations that do require wheel alignment include: 1. When the vehicle's steering wheel feels heavy, shakes, pulls to one side, is off-center, or doesn't return to position while driving; 2. Uneven tire pressure and tread wear; 3. Wheel vibration or wobbling; 4. The vehicle pulling to one side. The benefits of wheel alignment are: 1. Enhanced driving comfort; 2. Extended tire lifespan; 3. Improved straight-line stability; 4. Reduced wear on chassis suspension components; 5. Increased driving safety. The principle behind wheel alignment is to adjust the vehicle's four-wheel parameters to ensure optimal driving performance and reliability.

What are the handling methods for a tire blowout on the highway?

Highway tire blowout handling methods are: 1. Maintain control of the steering wheel and gradually reduce speed; 2. Gradually move the vehicle to the right and stop; 3. Quickly place a warning triangle 100 meters behind the vehicle; 4. Replace with the spare tire and promptly exit the highway. Causes of tire blowouts include: 1. Tire leakage; 2. Excessive tire pressure; 3. Insufficient tire pressure; 4. Severe tire wear. Tire maintenance methods include: 1. Regularly remove debris from tire treads; 2. Periodically check tire pressure; 3. Inspect tire wear and replace when necessary; 4. Promptly repair punctures; 5. Immediately stop and check tire condition if abnormal tire conditions occur while driving.

What causes abnormal engine noise after an oil change?

The reasons for abnormal engine noise after an oil change are: 1. Overfilling of engine oil; 2. Using oil with inappropriate viscosity. The procedure for changing engine oil is: 1. Start the engine to warm up and bring the transmission to operating temperature; 2. Remove the drain bolt to collect the old oil from the transmission; 3. After draining the old oil completely, remove the oil pan to replace the transmission filter; 4. Reinstall the oil pan and tighten the drain plug; 5. Add new transmission oil; 6. Start the vehicle and shift through all gears; 7. Check the automatic transmission fluid level and adjust if necessary. Precautions for oil change include: 1. Perform the change when the engine is warm to ensure complete drainage of old oil; 2. Add the correct amount of new oil; 3. After adding oil, start the engine to check for leaks, then run the engine for 3 minutes to confirm the oil level reaches the normal mark.

What is the car depreciation rate?

Car depreciation rates are typically 11% for the first 3 years, 10% from the 4th year onward, and 9% for the subsequent 3 years. Below are the specific details about car depreciation rates: 1. Regulations: The depreciation rate is 11% for the first 3 years, 10% from the 4th year onward, and 9% for the subsequent 3 years. For the first 3 years, the annual depreciation rate is 11%, resulting in a total depreciation of 33% over 3 years. From the 4th year onward, the annual depreciation rate is 10%, leading to a total depreciation of 40%. For the subsequent 3 years, the annual depreciation rate is 9%, resulting in a total depreciation of 27%. According to tax regulations, the depreciation period for passenger cars is 5 years, with a residual value rate of 5%. 2. Impact: The higher the depreciation rate, the worse the vehicle's condition and the lower its residual value.

What is Section Speed Measurement?

Section speed measurement refers to a method of detecting the average speed of motor vehicles passing through a road section (speed measurement section) between two adjacent speed monitoring points. Functions of the section speed measurement system: By setting up two cameras at two adjacent monitoring points on the same road section, a monitoring and snapshot system is established. This system conducts real-time monitoring and snapshots of vehicles passing through the checkpoint area twice to obtain information such as vehicle speed, traffic flow, license plate number, color, approximate physical dimensions, and driver characteristics. The collected information is then transmitted through a network to the database of the public security traffic command center and traffic control sub-center for data storage, query, comparison, and other processing. Advantages of section speed measurement: High measurement accuracy, stable and reliable speed detection, more comprehensive recorded data. Due to detector limitations, single-point checkpoint devices cannot guarantee 100% image capture of passing vehicles. It offers high measurement efficiency and diverse speed measurement capabilities.
