What is the normal water temperature when driving in summer?

During normal driving in summer, the car's water temperature is around 90 degrees. Water temperature gauge range: The water temperature gauge ranges from 0 to 130 degrees, with 90 degrees in the center being the normal temperature. When the water temperature stabilizes at 90 degrees, it indicates that the engine's heat generation has stabilized, reaching the optimal working condition. Overheating: If the car's water temperature is too high, the driver should stop and let the vehicle cool down until the water temperature returns to normal before continuing to drive. Reading the water temperature gauge: The 'C' on the car's water temperature gauge represents 60 degrees, and the 'H' red mark represents 110 degrees. The span from 60 to 110 degrees allows for an estimation of the approximate temperature indicated by the gauge.

In summer, the engine coolant temperature generally stays around 85 to 95 degrees Celsius, which is an ideal operating range. The engine cooling system is well-designed - the fan will automatically activate to regulate temperature during hot weather. When using air conditioning or stuck in slow-moving traffic, the temperature may temporarily rise to 100 degrees, but don't panic as long as the gauge needle doesn't enter the warning zone. Through many long-distance drives, I've observed that high road temperatures in summer can indeed cause coolant temperature fluctuations. It's advisable to regularly check coolant levels and use high-quality antifreeze with a high boiling point for better heat resistance. After parking and restarting, the temperature will initially be low before gradually rising to normal. Keeping the radiator clean helps prevent overheating caused by blockages.

During summer driving, the water temperature typically fluctuates around 90 degrees, which is crucial for engine health. I always pay close attention to the temperature gauge and notice that during short city trips or when using air conditioning, the temperature may slightly rise to around 95 degrees. However, as long as it doesn't exceed 100 degrees, there's no major issue. Factors affecting water temperature include external temperature and radiator efficiency. Sudden temperature spikes are often caused by fan failure or aged coolant. Remember to perform regular maintenance, checking the fan and water pump, as the air conditioning system adds extra load to the engine. Safety first—if the temperature warning light comes on, immediately stop the car, turn off the engine, and let it cool for several minutes. Warming up the engine before driving can also help stabilize the temperature.

The normal temperature range is between 85 to 95 degrees Celsius, and it may reach around 95 degrees in summer. I often encounter car owners asking about this issue during repairs, mainly to check if the cooling system is functioning properly. Coolant should be replaced regularly, generally every two years to withstand high temperatures; ensure the fan bearings are not stuck, and promptly check for clogged radiator fins when there are signs of overheating. It's recommended to perform maintenance before summer to clean dust from the radiator.

What are the safe driving recommendations?

Adhere to traffic rules and social ethics, drive courteously, avoid drunk driving, illegal overtaking, occupying lanes improperly, speeding, overloading, fatigued driving, running red lights, etc. Suburban roads: There are many intersections; be cautious of motorcycles and bicycles suddenly appearing at intersections. Do not drive too close to the right boundary of the road, leaving sufficient safety distance. Urban roads: With numerous vehicles and traffic lights, maintain courteous driving, avoid cutting in lanes, familiarize yourself with intersections, and enter the designated lane in advance. When passing stopped vehicles (especially buses), be alert to pedestrians crossing the road from the front of the vehicle. When an object on the left front obstructs your view, remain highly vigilant and reduce speed. When making a right turn, observe the right rearview mirror in advance to ensure safety. If vehicles or pedestrians are too close, slow down and wait for them to pass before turning right.

Where to add water in Kangrui K1?

Kangrui K1's water tank filler location is in the engine compartment. Open the hood, locate the reservoir tank, and fill it directly to the appropriate level. The water in the tank usually refers to coolant: The water in a car's radiator typically refers to radiator-specific water or coolant, which functions to cool the running engine through circulation. Only radiator-specific water or qualified coolant should be added to the radiator. If the level is low, tap water can be used to supplement the level temporarily, but it cannot completely replace the proper fluid. Service life of specialized water: Radiator-specific water or coolant provides antifreeze protection, which tap water cannot achieve. The water in the radiator has a service life of 2 years and should be replaced after this period. When purchasing radiator-specific water or coolant, it is advisable to choose products from reputable brands to ensure quality.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Slowly Releasing the Brakes?

It is caused by the friction sound between the brake shoes and the disc or drum. Specific reasons: The friction sound between the brake shoes and the disc or drum, the presence of foreign objects between the brake drum or disc and the shoes, the quality of the brake shoes, high metal content or poor quality, and excessive foreign objects. Solution: The brake light switch is located above the brake pedal. When you slowly release the brakes, the faulty brake light switch will produce a squeaking noise. However, since the brake light switch is connected to other components inside the car, the noise from the brake light switch is amplified. Therefore, go to a 4S shop to resolve the issue. If they don't know what the problem is, you can suggest they first try spraying lubricant. If that doesn't work, then you can only apply for a replacement.
