The coolant reservoir for Honda CR-V is located on the right side inside the engine compartment. Comprehensive Inspection: First, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any cracks or signs of leakage in the pipes, with special attention to the five-way pipe (named for its five connections to different parts). The coolant must flow through the five-way pipe before being distributed to various parts of the car to function effectively. Flushing the Fluid Channels: Drain the old coolant and flush the fluid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir, then continue to pour water into the reservoir, allowing it to flow continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water coming out of the reservoir will have a faint pink color. Keep adding clean water until the water coming out is clear. Don’t forget to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core.

Can 4S shops handle license plates in other places?

4S shops can handle license plates in other places, but they will charge an additional service fee. If there are no special circumstances, it is recommended that you handle the registration and license plate procedures yourself. Relevant policies: According to China's relevant policies and regulations, as long as the vehicle has a formal invoice, certificate of conformity, purchase tax, and compulsory insurance, and is a new car purchased from any formal automobile trading market in the country, you can go to your registered residence to complete the settlement procedures; Supplementary payment of vehicle purchase tax: When purchasing a car in another place, you need to note that you must drive the car back to your local area and first go to the tax bureau to pay the supplementary vehicle purchase tax. The vehicle purchase tax must be paid locally first, and then you can go to the vehicle management office to get the license plate. With the proof of payment of the purchase tax, you can go to the local vehicle management office for vehicle inspection, number selection, and driving license processing.

How to Engage Reverse Gear in Santana?

To engage reverse gear in a Santana, first press the gear lever downward from the neutral position, then pull it to the left and push it into the position where first gear is located. Below are the precautions for engaging reverse gear in a Santana: 1. Ensure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting into reverse. Shifting into reverse while the car is still moving can cause significant damage to the transmission. It can easily lead to gear grinding. The correct method is to stop the car completely and then shift into reverse for backing up. 2. Always depress the clutch pedal fully when shifting into reverse. If the clutch is not fully depressed, gear grinding may occur, which is the sound of gears scraping against each other. Prolonged grinding can wear down the gear teeth, leading to incomplete gear engagement. To avoid this, make sure the clutch is fully depressed. 3. Maintain a slow speed when reversing and avoid pressing the accelerator. Keep the speed low and refrain from pressing the accelerator hard, especially in automatic transmission vehicles, as this can easily lead to accidents. Therefore, always control the speed when reversing.

Is stopping for several seconds at a highway ramp entrance considered a traffic violation?

Yes, it is a violation. Motor vehicles are not allowed to stop on highways, whether in regular lanes or at ramp entrances. Under non-emergency circumstances, motor vehicles are prohibited from stopping while driving on highways. If stopping is necessary or in case of an emergency, the highway traffic management department of the public security authority should be contacted promptly. Highway violations: Traffic violations committed by motor vehicles on highways must be addressed. Regardless of where, when, or under what circumstances the violation occurs, it must be dealt with. Failure to promptly address traffic violations will result in the motor vehicle being considered in an abnormal status. Impact on vehicle annual inspection: If traffic violations are not addressed, they will affect the normal annual inspection of the motor vehicle. Vehicles that fail the annual inspection are not permitted to drive on the road, and doing so constitutes a violation. If a vehicle fails to undergo the annual inspection for three consecutive inspection cycles, it will be forcibly scrapped.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the DX3?

Southeast DX3 has a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Southeast DX3 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Southeast DX3 is 92 octane, with a fuel consumption of 6.9 to 7.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 616 to 652 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. The fuel level is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked fuel tank capacity.

What type of engine oil is suitable for the Kia K5?

The Kia K5 can use engine oil with a viscosity grade of 5W30. For models equipped with turbocharged engines, it is recommended to use full synthetic oil with a viscosity of 40. For models with naturally aspirated engines, it is recommended to use full synthetic oil with a viscosity of 30. 5W-30 refers to its SAE standard viscosity rating. This viscosity value first indicates that the oil is a multi-grade oil. The 'W' stands for WINTER, and the number before the 'W' represents the oil's flow performance at low temperatures—the smaller the number, the better the starting performance in cold conditions. The number after the 'W' indicates the oil's stability at high temperatures (i.e., its resistance to thinning)—the higher the number, the better the oil's high-temperature stability. Engine oils are generally categorized into three types: conventional mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil. Mineral oil is inexpensive but has shorter service life and inferior lubrication performance compared to synthetic oils, and it also causes more environmental pollution. Semi-synthetic oil is very close in purity to full synthetic oil, though its cost is slightly higher than mineral oil, making it an ideal transitional product between mineral and synthetic oils. Full synthetic oil has a well-arranged molecular structure, giving it strong resistance to external variables. As a result, it offers superior thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and viscosity stability compared to mineral and semi-synthetic oils.
