Car radiator debris cleaning method is: 1. Park the vehicle and turn off the engine, wait for the coolant temperature to drop, then open the expansion tank and add radiator cleaner; 2. Start the engine to activate the cooling fan, let it idle for 5 to 10 minutes; 3. Turn off the engine and remove the front bumper; 4. After the coolant has completely cooled, drain the radiator cleaner along with the coolant, then replace with new engine coolant. The car radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is a key component in the vehicle's cooling system. Its function is to cool the engine, prevent overheating, maintain optimal operating temperature, and extend engine lifespan.

Is it okay for the engine compartment to have high temperatures in summer?

High temperatures in the engine compartment during summer are normal. As long as the water temperature warning light on the dashboard is not activated, it indicates the engine is operating normally. Automotive engines use water cooling for heat dissipation. Here are the details: 1. Car Radiator: The car radiator, also known as the heat exchanger, is a key component of the car's cooling system and part of the vehicle's heat dissipation system. Most cars use water-cooled engines, which rely on coolant circulating continuously within the engine to dissipate heat. 2. Function of the Car Radiator: To dissipate heat. The coolant absorbs heat in the water jacket, releases it when flowing through the radiator, and then returns to the water jacket, continuously cycling to achieve heat dissipation and temperature regulation.

The correct method to start an automatic transmission car is: 1. Turn on the power, then start the car; 2. After ignition, press the brake, shift to D gear, release the handbrake, and gently press the accelerator to start; 3. After starting, accelerate appropriately according to road conditions. The functions of the clutch are: 1. Gradually increase the driving force of the car to ensure a smooth start; 2. Temporarily separate the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. Prevent overload of the transmission system; 4. Reduce torsional vibration impact from the engine and prolong the service life of transmission gears.
