The symbol indicating that a car needs water is an icon on the instrument panel resembling a thermometer with water waves underneath. This icon plays a crucial role in driving safety. Here are the steps to add water to the radiator: 1. Turn the pressure cap counterclockwise. If you hear a hissing sound, wait until the sound stops before opening. 2. Add an appropriate amount of coolant to the coolant expansion tank, ensuring the level is between the MAX and MIN marks. 3. With the coolant expansion tank cap open, start the engine. 4. After starting the engine, the coolant level in the tank will gradually decrease. At this point, add more coolant until the level is again between the MAX and MIN marks. 5. Reinstall the cap, ensuring it is hand-tightened and fully seated.

How much engine oil is generally added to the X-Trail?

The 2.0L displacement X-Trail generally requires 3.8 to 4 liters of engine oil. If overfilled, the rising engine temperature during driving may cause excessive pressure that could rupture oil seals, leading to oil leaks. The vehicle's interior design is exquisite, featuring cannon-style instrument clusters that provide clear visibility at a glance. The X-Trail's center console design exemplifies typical Japanese styling, but with superior material quality, finer craftsmanship, and more harmonious color coordination. The leather-wrapped steering wheel has an optimal thickness and excellent grip. The instrument cluster adopts a novel design, positioned at the center of the dashboard with a slight tilt towards the driver's seat. All functional buttons are neatly arranged within easy reach, fully demonstrating Japanese automakers' emphasis on ergonomics. The X-Trail measures 4675mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1722mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2706mm.

What Should Beginners Pay Attention to When Driving on the Road?

Things that beginners should pay attention to when driving on the road: 1. Strictly adhere to traffic regulations; 2. Be cautious when driving at night, slow down the speed, as visibility is poorer at night. If there are street lights, use low beams; if there are no street lights and no vehicles ahead, high beams can be used, but switch to low beams when vehicles approach. Before driving on the road, beginners must ensure timely car maintenance and check the vehicle's condition before each drive, such as walking around the car to check for oil leaks and the tire pressure of all four wheels. While driving, beginners should also be alert to any abnormal conditions of the car, such as vibrations or unusual noises.

How often does a new 7-seater vehicle require an annual inspection?

New 7-seater vehicles require an annual inspection every two years. For passenger transport vehicles in operation, inspections are conducted once a year within the first five years, and every six months thereafter. Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, equivalent to an annual health check-up for the vehicle. The annual inspection helps promptly identify and eliminate potential safety hazards, encourages better vehicle maintenance, and reduces the occurrence of traffic accidents. Documents required for the annual inspection include: 1. The owner's ID card; 2. Original vehicle registration certificate; 3. Valid compulsory traffic insurance policy; 4. Proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment (or exemption) for the current year (the vehicle and vessel tax proof is usually included in the compulsory traffic insurance policy).

Why should the steering wheel be straightened after parking?

The reason why the steering wheel should be straightened after parking: Not returning it to the straight position will affect the caster angle of the front wheels. When the steering wheel is turned to a certain angle, it actually lifts the car, causing the tie rods to experience tension and compression forces. If left fixed at a certain angle for a prolonged period, it can easily lead to tie rod deformation, affecting driving performance. The steering wheel is the wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, aircraft, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the steering wheel rim into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering column. It mainly consists of a frame, foam padding, and mounting clips or screw holes corresponding to the driver's airbag (DAB).

What are the basic components of a car?

The basic components of a car include the engine, chassis, body, and electrical system. A gasoline engine consists of the crankshaft-connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel supply system, cooling system, lubrication system, ignition system, and starting system. Diesel engines use compression ignition, so they do not have an ignition system. The engine is the power unit of a car, whose function is to generate power by burning fuel, which then drives the wheels through the drivetrain of the chassis to propel the car. The chassis serves to support and mount the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall structure of the car. It also receives the power from the engine to enable the car to move and ensure normal operation. The chassis is composed of four parts: the drivetrain, running gear, steering system, and braking system. The body is mounted on the frame of the chassis and is used to accommodate the driver, passengers, or cargo. The bodies of sedans and buses are generally of a unitary structure, while the body of a truck usually consists of a cab and a cargo compartment. The body is mounted on the frame of the chassis and is used to accommodate the driver, passengers, or cargo. The electrical system provides power for starting, driving, and the car's auxiliary facilities, mainly consisting of the power source, starting system, ignition system, as well as car lighting, signals, and auxiliary electrical facilities.
