The normal temperature of a car's radiator is 90 degrees. Continuing to drive when the temperature is too high can damage the vehicle's engine power system. The radiator, also known as a heat exchanger, belongs to the car's cooling system. The radiator in the engine water cooling system consists of three parts: the inlet chamber, outlet chamber, main plate, and radiator core. The functions of the car's radiator are: 1. It can absorb the heat from the cylinder block; 2. It prevents the engine from overheating. The maintenance methods for the radiator are: 1. Prevent contact with any acid, alkali, or other corrosive substances; 2. Hard water needs to be softened before use to avoid internal blockage and scale formation in the radiator; 3. During the installation of the radiator, avoid damaging the cooling fins and denting the radiator to ensure its cooling capacity and sealing performance.

What are the pros and cons of rain guards?

Prevents rainwater from entering the vehicle, avoids rain being blown inside, ensures airflow does not affect driving or passengers, provides shade, reduces glare that could impair driving visibility, improves interior temperature, and helps eliminate odors. However, the shape of rain guards may not perfectly match the contour of the window edges, potentially leading to minor warping or gaps in certain areas. These imperfections can become sources of wind noise and inadequate adhesive strength. Installation method for rain guards: Peel off the 3M adhesive on the rain guard and gently attach it along the upper edge of the window. Once the positioning is confirmed to be accurate, press firmly along the edges to ensure the rain guard adheres securely to the vehicle. Material of rain guards: A protruding rain visor made of synthetic resin or engineering plastic.

What kind of car wash detergent should be used for a new car?

It is best to use a specialized car wash detergent for new cars. Dedicated car wash liquids are neutral cleaners that are gentle on both hands and paint, primarily composed of natural plant-derived surfactants. Precautions for car washing: After high-speed driving or prolonged exposure to intense sunlight, the surface temperature of the car paint becomes very high. If cold water is used to rinse at this time, the paint surface may be damaged, and in severe cases, it could lead to cracking. Frequency of car washing: There is no need to wash the car too frequently. Generally, washing the car once every 7-10 days is sufficient, as frequent washing can accelerate paint oxidation. However, this is not absolute. If the car body is contaminated with mud, rainwater, bird droppings, etc., the owner should clean the vehicle as soon as possible to prevent corrosion of the paint.

What are the precautions for wedding cars on highways?

Precautions for wedding cars on highways include vehicle type and lighting requirements. Vehicle type requirements for wedding cars on highways: Wedding cars must comply with the regulations in the "Highway Traffic Management Regulations" to be allowed on highways. Wedding cars are generally small vehicles with 7 seats or fewer, such as small cars or minivans, which are permitted on highways. Lighting requirements for wedding cars: Wedding cars are not allowed to use hazard lights to maintain formation on highways. Generally, hazard lights are not permitted on highways unless in special emergency situations. Hazard lights are intended for emergency use only. Typically, they can be used in situations such as sudden vehicle malfunctions while driving, extreme weather conditions, or vehicles engaged in rescue operations or transporting critically ill patients.

Why Does the Steering Wheel Make Noise When Turning?

Steering wheel noise during turning is related to bearings, the engine, and interfering components. Bearing factors: As the core component bearing the vehicle's weight and providing rotational capability to the tires, bearings may become damaged under daily stress, affecting driving performance. Engine factors: Technical conditions of certain engine mechanisms may have changed due to excessive part wear, improper assembly or adjustment; or reduced lubrication between components leading to dry friction sounds. Interfering component factors: Interference with adjacent components causing plastic deformation, or insufficient grease between friction surfaces in the steering system resulting in dry or semi-dry friction that produces abnormal noises. Solutions: Noise during initial turning is likely caused by failed shock absorber pressure bearings - replacement is needed. This issue also relates to routine maintenance. Regular inspections for part wear should be conducted, with lubrication added to bearing components to reduce friction.

Which has priority, left lane change or right lane change?

At intersections, left turns have the right of way. Below is relevant information about intersections: 1. Introduction to intersections: An intersection refers to a level crossing where two or more roads meet on the same plane. On December 1, 2017, the "Specification for English Translation in Public Service Areas" was officially implemented, stipulating that the standard English term for an intersection is Crossroads or Intersection. 2. Roads: Here, roads refer to all roads as defined in the supplementary provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," including urban roads, alleys, lanes, and highways. However, the intersection of alleys or lanes with sidewalks on both sides of urban streets is not considered an intersection; the level crossing of highways with rural paths not classified as highways is also not considered an intersection; nor are level crossings of railways and roads considered regulated intersections here. For motor vehicle passage at railway crossings, the "Road Traffic Safety Law" and the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law" have specific provisions.

Why Can't You Drive When the Transmission Warning Light Is On?

You should not continue driving when the transmission warning light is on. Reasons: Do not blindly continue driving to prevent severe damage to the transmission. If the transmission warning light is on but the engine speed and vehicle speed are normal, you may continue driving. However, if any driving issues arise, visit a 4S shop as soon as possible to check for faults and avoid potential hazards. Function of the Transmission: The transmission changes the gear ratio, expands the range of torque and speed variation of the driving wheels, and allows the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the engine's rotation direction. It enables engine startup and gear shifting. The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism. Precautions: If the electronic components of the automatic transmission (sensors, solenoid valves, or the control module) experience intermittent or persistent failures, the engine warning light may illuminate. In such cases, remain vigilant and promptly check for any faults.
