The solutions for a leaking radiator in a Crown are as follows: 1. When the leak is no more than a 1mm crack or a 2mm hole, add a bottle of radiator stop-leak agent to the radiator and start the engine. 2. After opening the coolant to initiate the large circulation for 5 to 10 minutes, any leaks in the cooling system, whether in the radiator, rubber hoses, or gaskets, will stop. There's no need to drain the stop-leak agent afterward, as it won't affect heat dissipation or cause blockages. 3. If no stop-leak agent is available, for minor leaks in individual radiator tubes, you can temporarily place loose tobacco strands into the radiator. The water circulation pressure will cause the tobacco strands to block the leaks in the radiator tubes, providing a temporary fix. 4. For more severe leaks in the radiator tubes, you can cut off the leaking section of the tube, plug the cut end with a cotton ball coated in soap, then use pliers to flatten and crimp the end of the cut tube to stop the leak.

What does Lane Assist Function mean?

Lane assist function is a type of intelligent driving assistance, generally based on the vehicle's Lane Departure Warning Assist System, while coordinating the control of brakes, throttle, and steering to keep the vehicle centered in the lane with the assistance of a camera. Below is relevant information: System Introduction: If the Lane Keeping Assist System identifies the lane markings on both sides of the current lane, the system is in standby mode. This is indicated by a green indicator light on the dashboard. When the system is in standby mode, if the turn signal is activated before crossing the lane markings, the warning signal will be suppressed, assuming the driver is intentionally changing lanes. Application Scenarios: This system is mainly applied on structured roads, such as highways and roads with good pavement conditions (clear lane markings). It starts operating when the vehicle speed reaches 65 km/h or above.

What is the difference between adding a motorcycle license and directly taking the test?

There is almost no difference in the procedures between directly taking the test and adding a license. 1. Adding a license explanation: Adding a license is to combine two driver's licenses into one. The motorcycle license and C1 license still need to be obtained by taking their respective tests separately. If you do not have a motorcycle driver's license, you can only take the test directly; if you do, you can only add the license. 2. Requirements for adding a license application: Hold any type of motorcycle driver's license (D, E, F license). The application requires that you have not accumulated 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the one before the application. And provide: (1) The applicant's identity proof. (2) A medical certificate issued by a county-level or military regiment-level medical institution regarding physical conditions. (3) The held motor vehicle driver's license.

How to Clean a Car's Three-Way Catalytic Converter?

Three-way catalytic converters are cleaned using the "drip method." This method involves connecting a plastic hose to the engine's vacuum solenoid valve and relying on the air pressure in the hollow tube to draw the cleaning agent from the infusion bottle into the engine. The cleaning agent then exits through the exhaust pipe, cleaning the three-way catalytic converter in the process. The three-way catalytic converter is the most important external purification device installed in a car's exhaust system. It converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted from the car's exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. The three-way catalytic converter is typically installed in the first bulge of the exhaust manifold under the car's chassis and resembles a long, kettle-shaped device. The service life of a three-way catalytic converter ranges between 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. The exact lifespan depends on the car's usage conditions, fuel quality, and driving environment.
