Traditional engines operate normally with a coolant temperature range of 80°C to 90°C, while electronically controlled engines function optimally with coolant temperatures between 95°C and 105°C. Below are relevant details: 1. Introduction: Coolant, fully termed as antifreeze coolant or simply antifreeze, prevents freezing and potential damage to radiators and engine blocks during cold seasons when the vehicle is stationary. Antifreeze is not just for winter use but should be utilized year-round. In regular vehicle maintenance, engine coolant should be replaced annually. 2. Additional Information: Proper use of coolant helps prevent corrosion, cavitation, leaks, radiator boiling, scaling, and freezing.

Where is the ETC installed on the car?

For small vehicles, the ETC device is installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles, it is installed in the lower middle part. The ETC does not require charging or battery replacement as it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. When installing, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Correct installation positions for ETC: 1. The height should be no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters; 2. The installation angle N should be between 30 and 90 degrees; 3. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket anti-explosion film, the metal ions in the film may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link. Installation should be done in the microwave skylight area or by cutting an 8cm by 10cm rectangular area in the anti-explosion film.

Should Defogging Use Internal or External Air Circulation?

Defogging should use external air circulation. When fog is detected on the windshield, first adjust the air vents to the front windshield, turn on the air conditioning cooling function along with external circulation, and use the maximum fan speed. It typically takes only about ten seconds to quickly blow away the fog on the glass. If driving on long-distance or highway sections where opening windows for ventilation is inconvenient, external circulation should be activated. If driving on congested urban roads, internal circulation should be used. If driving on congested urban roads, internal circulation should be used. All car air conditioning systems are equipped with air filters, which need to be replaced periodically. Generally, car air filters should be replaced every 10,000 kilometers.

Can the new Sylphy use 0W40 engine oil?

The new Sylphy can use 0W40 engine oil. More details are as follows: Reasons why Japanese cars mostly use low-viscosity engine oil: Japanese cars mostly use low-viscosity engine oil due to various reasons, such as the development philosophy of Japanese cars (fuel efficiency), and the high precision of Japanese car engines, which have less dependence on the viscosity of engine oil. Recommendations for using 0W40: If the car is relatively old and has oil burning issues, 40-viscosity engine oil can be used. 0W-40 is the SAE of the engine oil, indicating the viscosity value of the oil. The smaller the number before W, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, representing a lower usable ambient temperature and better protection for the engine during cold starts. The number after W represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. The higher the number, the higher the viscosity, the better the protection performance at high temperatures, and the better the stability at high temperatures. The higher the oil viscosity, the greater the resistance of the engine operation, and the higher the fuel consumption of the car.

How Often Should Brake Fluid Be Replaced in a Sedan?

It is recommended to replace the brake fluid in a sedan every 2 years. Brake fluid has certain corrosive properties and strong water absorption. Nowadays, repair shops have specialized tools to test the water content in brake fluid, so you can perform a test to determine if replacement is necessary. Brake fluid must be replaced regularly when it reaches the maintenance interval, and it is advisable to follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule. Generally, brake fluid should be replaced every two years, as prolonged use can cause wear to the rubber cups and pistons in the brake pump, leading to contamination of the brake fluid, which is why replacement is recommended. Brake fluid is crucial, and when selecting it, be cautious—using substandard or low-quality brake fluid can corrode the rubber seals in the brake pump and negatively impact braking performance. Therefore, if the brake fluid is low, it is best to purchase the original vehicle's brake fluid from an authorized repair shop.

How to turn off the daytime running lights on Kia K3?

Daytime running lights do not have an off switch. They serve as a signal during driving, not for illumination, making the vehicle more easily identifiable during daytime operation. When the car engine starts, the daytime running lights automatically turn on. When night falls and the driver manually turns on the low beam or high beam headlights, the daytime running lights automatically turn off. The functions of daytime running lights are as follows: 1. They make the vehicle more easily recognizable during daytime driving. Their purpose is not to help the driver see the road but to let others know that a car is approaching. 2. Therefore, these lights are not illumination lights but signal lights. While installing daytime running lights can make a car look cooler and more stylish, their primary benefit is not aesthetics but improving the vehicle's visibility.

What does Corolla Twin Engine represent?

Toyota Corolla Twin Engine represents Toyota's hybrid technology, which utilizes both gasoline engines and electric motors to drive the vehicle. Depending on different conditions and user requirements, these two power units can operate either separately or in combination. The Corolla model incorporates this dual-engine technology in its corresponding variants, hence named Corolla Twin Engine. Relevant information is as follows: 1. The core of Toyota's Twin Engine technology lies in its planetary gear set. In fact, all Toyota Twin Engine models use this as the central structure for power distribution, with only adjustments and improvements made to power output levels and transmission methods. 2. The main advantages of Corolla Twin Engine include fuel efficiency, making it particularly suitable for urban drivers. Its comprehensive fuel consumption is 4-5L per 100km, while the 100km fuel consumption ranges between 2-3L.
