Where is the coolant located?
1 Answers
Coolant is located in a small pink liquid-filled reservoir on the left side of the engine compartment. Functions of the cooling system: To provide proper cooling for the operating engine, enabling it to work within the optimal temperature range. Engine cooling must be moderate - insufficient cooling will reduce engine power, cause oil to overheat and fail, and decrease mechanical strength of components due to high temperatures; excessive cooling leads to excessive heat dissipation, reducing engine performance and fuel economy, increasing oil viscosity, and exacerbating friction and wear between moving parts. Precautions for coolant usage: Prevent coolant leakage, as it not only causes coolant loss but severe leakage can dilute engine oil and lead to lubrication system failures; avoid skin contact; maintain year-round coolant usage and ensure continuity of coolant application.
