The main issue causing complete coolant leakage is a crack in the engine block. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Natural loss: Various fluids in a car experience natural loss. Since coolant is responsible for cooling the car engine and is often in a high-temperature state, it is normal for coolant to lose about 10%-36% per year. According to the technical requirements of NB/SH/T0521-2010 "Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol Engine Coolants" issued by the National Energy Administration, the boiling point of a 50% volume fraction of coolant is above 100°C, and the loss is mainly due to natural evaporation. Without replacement, the annual loss ranges between 10%-36%. 2. Coolant entering the cylinder for combustion: For example, cracks in the engine block, cylinder head gasket burning or corrosion deformation, etc. In such cases, pulling out the dipstick to check if the engine oil shows emulsification. The engine block has oil and water channels. Once the cylinder head gasket is damaged, the water channel cannot be sealed, resulting in complete coolant leakage.

What does the evmode button mean?

evmode stands for pure electric mode, and its function is to switch to electric mode. The evmode button is only available in hybrid vehicles. When the evmode button is pressed, only the electric mode is used, and the engine does not participate in power output. The following introduces three driving modes of hybrid vehicles: 1. EV mode: EV mode is purely electric-driven. When the battery is low, the engine automatically starts to drive and charges the battery. When the battery reaches a certain level, the engine automatically shuts off. 2. ECO mode: Through the cooperation of the engine and motor, it is environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient, providing a smooth and comfortable driving experience. 3. PWR mode: The powerful driving force brought by the dual-engine drive of the engine and motor allows for more free and dynamic driving.

What are the causes of the exhaust fault light?

Maintenance personnel inquired about when the fault light came on, and the owner reported that the light automatically illuminated during normal driving without any other symptoms occurring. Solutions for the exhaust fault light: The exhaust emission control system indicator light will illuminate when the ignition switch is turned on, and it must go off after starting the engine. If the light does not go off after starting the engine, or if it lights up or flashes during driving, it indicates that there may be unstable operation in the emission control system and the exhaust gas quality exceeds the standard. Causes of the exhaust fault light: The use of inferior fuel may cause premature damage to the exhaust emission control system. Failure to replace parts regularly as required by maintenance can lead to issues. The vehicle should be tested and potential safety hazards eliminated as early as possible while it can still operate normally.

What happens when a car's generator fails?

When a car's generator fails, it can result in the car being unable to charge, having too small a charging current, too large a charging current, an unstable charging current, or the generator not producing electricity at all. The car generator is the main power source of the vehicle, functioning to supply power to all electrical devices (except the starter) when the engine is running normally (above idle speed), while also charging the battery. Based on the three-phase stator winding of a standard AC generator, additional winding turns are added with lead-out terminals, and an extra set of three-phase bridge rectifiers is included. At low speeds, the output is from the original winding and the additional winding connected in series, while at higher speeds, only the original three-phase winding provides the output.

What to Do When Your Driver's License Points Are Not Enough?

When your driver's license points are insufficient, you can use someone else's license to deduct points. If you accumulate 12 points within a scoring cycle, you will need to retake the subject one exam. If the points deducted exceed 24, you will need to retake both subject one and subject three exams. Below are some behaviors that result in a one-time deduction of 12 points: 1. Driving a motor vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type. 2. Driving under the influence of alcohol. 3. Fleeing the scene of a traffic accident without constituting a crime. 4. Using forged or altered motor vehicle license plates, vehicle registration certificates, driver's licenses, school bus signs, or using other motor vehicle license plates or vehicle registration certificates. 5. Driving a motor vehicle in reverse, against traffic, or crossing the central divider to make a U-turn on a highway.

What is the complete process of the automatic transmission Subject 2 driving test?

Reverse parking into a garage, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, curve driving, and turning at a right angle. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test. The C2 test includes four mandatory items: reverse parking into a garage, parallel parking, turning at a right angle, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). Objectives of Subject 2: Master the basic driving operation essentials and possess the fundamental ability to control the vehicle; proficiently grasp the basic methods of field and road driving, have the ability to reasonably use vehicle control components and correctly control the spatial position of the vehicle, and be able to accurately control the vehicle's driving position, speed, and route.
