After driving for so many years, I've noticed that the coolant temperature on the dashboard usually reads between 90 to 100 degrees Celsius, which represents the engine's normal operating temperature. The temperature is lower when the engine is first started, around 70 degrees, but stabilizes after a few minutes of driving. If the reading consistently runs high, such as exceeding 105 degrees or even approaching 120 degrees, you should be cautious—it might indicate a problem with the cooling system, like a non-functioning cooling fan or insufficient antifreeze. In such cases, pull over immediately to prevent engine overheating and damage. During daily driving, especially in summer or congested areas, the temperature can fluctuate easily, so make it a habit to glance at the dashboard frequently to ensure it stays safely within the middle range. If you spot an issue, top up the coolant or get it checked promptly to avoid costly repairs. In short, maintaining this temperature is crucial for your car's longevity.

I often help friends check their cars and find that the coolant temperature is generally correct when marked between 90-100°C. For dashboards with digital displays, simply read the numerical value; for those without, the needle should stay in the middle position when normal. When the engine is cold, the reading is lower, around 60-80°C, and it rises as the engine warms up. However, if the dashboard warning light comes on and the temperature soars above 110°C, it could indicate a clogged radiator or coolant leak—don’t take it lightly, immediately find a place to stop and check or add coolant. Pay attention to temperature changes while driving, and avoid prolonged idling in hot weather, as this can cause the system to overheat. Regular maintenance of fluid levels and system cleanliness can prevent many issues.

From driving experience, the standard range for coolant temperature on the dashboard is typically between 90-100°C. After a cold engine start, the temperature is around 60°C, rising to an optimal 95°C during driving. If the reading exceeds 110°C, the dashboard warning system will illuminate, which may be caused by fan failure or degraded coolant. Immediate parking for cooling and inspection is required to prevent engine damage. Regular attention to fluid levels is essential for maintaining system health.

I always pay attention to the coolant temperature while driving, and the dashboard normally displays 85-105°C. For most cars, a stable midpoint position on the gauge is a good sign. If the needle leans towards the higher end, such as constantly fluctuating above 100°C, it may indicate that the system fan isn't working or there's poor heat dissipation, and you should immediately stop to check the coolant level. During daily driving, high-temperature environments can cause fluctuations, but maintaining the needle in the middle zone ensures engine efficiency. Regularly changing the coolant helps prevent issues, and early detection and resolution make for a more worry-free experience.

How to use the automatic transmission of FAW J6P when going uphill?

FAW J6 with manual-automatic transmission, the principles of manual-automatic transmission and continuously variable transmission are the same. The following is a related introduction about automatic transmission: 1. Automatic principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally speaking, automatic transmissions consume more than 10% higher fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic transmission, the more gears, the more fuel-efficient. 2. Driving skills: For manual transmission vehicles, shifting should be done at high RPM. The engine is designed to work at higher RPMs, and the dynamic balance and rotational inertia parameters of various components are also designed with high RPM as the reference value. If the engine operates for a long time under abnormal working conditions, the load and wear of internal components will naturally increase, shaking and knocking phenomena often occur, and the lifespan will also be affected. Choosing 3000 RPM as the shifting RPM ensures that after shifting, the RPM is just over 2300, which can guarantee the engine always works within the healthy RPM range.

What is the Scrap Life of a 6-Seater Light Passenger Vehicle?

Light passenger vehicles and light goods vehicles should have the same scrap life of 10 years, with mandatory scrapping at 15 years. Below are the relevant details: 1. Non-operational: Non-operational passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer (including cars and off-road models) have a service life of 15 years. If they meet the scrapping standards but are required to continue in use, no approval is needed. After passing inspection, their service life can be extended with biannual inspections. After 20 years, from the 21st year onward, they require quarterly inspections annually. 2. Passenger vehicles: Tourist passenger vehicles and non-operational passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats have a service life of 10 years. If they meet the scrapping standards but are required to continue in use, they must follow current procedures, with an extension not exceeding 10 years. Tourist passenger vehicles extended for scrapping require quarterly inspections annually. Non-operational passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats extended for scrapping require biannual inspections, increasing to quarterly inspections annually from the 16th year onward after exceeding 15 years.

What are the disadvantages of hatchbacks?

The disadvantages of hatchbacks: Since the cabin is not separated from the trunk, there is noticeable cabin resonance noise; if you put something smelly in the trunk, the odor can sometimes spread throughout the cabin; in summer, the air conditioning doesn’t cool as quickly as in sedans; and because airflow moves up from the rear, the rear window tends to get dirty. In addition, hatchback trunks have several advantages: 1. The hatchback trunk is more organized: The hatchback trunk is more organized and has better accessibility with its open tailgate, making it much easier to load items. Sedans, even if they can fit a lot of stuff, still require adjustments. 2. Hatchbacks can create a large trunk space: When the rear seats of a hatchback are folded down, they form a large trunk space that can transport bulky items like refrigerators, saplings, or bicycles, which is unlikely in sedans. 3. Hatchback rear seats can be folded in a 60/40 split: The rear seats of a hatchback can be folded in a 60/40 split, allowing for more flexible allocation of passenger and luggage space based on the number of people and luggage (many sedans can also do this, but they can’t achieve a fully connected space).

Can points from C2 be deducted for C1?

C1 is a small car driver's license, while C2 is a small automatic transmission car driver's license. The additional permitted vehicle types for C1 include C2, C3, and C4. This means that the permitted vehicle types for C2 are lower than those for C1, so points from C2 cannot be deducted for C1. Each person only has one driver's license. If you obtain the C1 permitted vehicle type through an additional driving test, the C1 and C2 licenses will be merged into one, sharing the same 12 points, thus eliminating the concept of deducting points for another license. Below is relevant information: 1. Deducting points for others: Using someone else's driver's license to deduct points is inherently unfeasible in terms of permitted vehicle types. Additionally, deducting points for others constitutes buying and selling driver's license points, which is illegal. If caught, not only will the traded traffic violation points be revoked, but both parties will also face fines and possible detention. 2. Scoring cycle: A scoring cycle lasts 12 months, starting from the date the driver's license was obtained. For example, if the license was obtained on January 2nd, the cycle ends on January 1st of the following year. After receiving points, it is necessary to promptly address the violation and pay the fine. The points will automatically reset at the start of the next scoring cycle; otherwise, they will carry over to the next cycle.

Which Button is the Car Air Conditioner?

The air conditioning button in a car is the AC button. Below is relevant information about car air conditioning: I. Introduction: 1. Car air conditioning refers to the air conditioning device installed in a vehicle, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety. The air conditioning system has become one of the indicators for measuring whether a car is fully equipped. 2. It generally includes a cooling device, heating device, and ventilation device. This combined system makes full use of the limited space inside the car, featuring a simple structure and ease of operation, making it a popular modern car air conditioning system internationally. II. Types of Air Conditioning: 1. By drive method: Independent type (uses a dedicated engine to drive the compressor, offering large cooling capacity and stable operation, but with high cost, large size, and weight, mostly used in large and medium-sized buses) and non-independent type (the air conditioning compressor is driven by the car engine, with cooling performance significantly affected by engine operation and poor stability, mostly used in small buses and cars). 2. By performance: Single-function type (separate installation and operation of cooling, heating, and ventilation systems, without interference, mostly used in large buses and trucks) and integrated heating-cooling type (cooling, heating, and ventilation share a blower and air ducts, controlled on the same panel, and can be divided into combined type where heating and cooling work separately and mixed temperature control type where heating and cooling can work simultaneously. Cars mostly use the mixed temperature control type).
