The drain outlet of the M4 engine radiator is located at the bottom of the radiator. Below is relevant information: 1. The Haval M4 is equipped with a self-developed engine by Great Wall, a 1.5L VVT all-aluminum engine, which is widely used in multiple products under the Great Wall brand. Its mature reliability is unquestionable, and the performance of 78kW and 139N·m should be more than sufficient to drive this small car. Four-wheel disc brakes are uncommon in this class, and the rear longitudinal arm torsion beam composite suspension is semi-independent. 2. In terms of exterior dimensions, the Haval M4 can be considered a typical compact SUV. Looking at the domestic SUV market, it seems only the Haval M series is involved in this SUV segment. A ground clearance of 185mm and larger tire size already demonstrate its off-road capability. For consumers who desire an SUV but are troubled by urban parking difficulties, a compact SUV like the Haval M4 might be a perfect compromise.

I've worked on quite a few Great Wall vehicles recently. For the M4 model, the radiator drain plug is usually located at the bottom right side of the radiator. You'll need to get underneath to see it - there's a plastic or metal screw plug at the very bottom of the radiator, often hidden behind a protective cover. Just use a wrench to turn it counterclockwise to open. Important safety notes: 1) Always let the engine cool completely before draining - never attempt this when hot to avoid burns. 2) Place a drain pan underneath to catch coolant and prevent spills. 3) After refilling with new coolant, remember to properly bleed air from the system to ensure normal operation. This area tends to accumulate mud and rust, so regular inspection can prevent the plug from seizing. If you encounter difficulties, it's best to visit a reputable repair shop for assistance.

What does TC on the car dashboard mean?

TC on the car dashboard stands for Traction Control, which improves the vehicle's passability. When the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) detects that some wheels are slipping, it applies braking to the slipping wheels to prevent the loss of traction. When the system is active, the yellow TC indicator light on the dashboard flashes to alert the driver. The Traction Control System is also known as the Track Control System. When braking on slippery surfaces, the wheels may slip, even causing loss of directional control. During acceleration or sudden acceleration, the drive wheels may also slip, posing a danger on icy or other slippery surfaces by causing loss of directional control. The Traction Control System is designed to address these issues.

Why Are Most Cars Now Equipped with Automatic Transmissions?

This is related to market demand. Since automatic transmissions are simpler and more convenient to drive, many people prefer to buy them. Additionally, due to China's national conditions—urbanization is very evident, cities are densely populated, people have strong purchasing power, and urban areas have a high volume of vehicles—traffic pressure in cities is significant. Moreover, driving a manual transmission is more cumbersome, so most people opt for automatic transmissions primarily to save effort. The advantages of automatic transmission cars are as follows: 1. Convenience of Driving an Automatic Transmission: It eliminates the hassle of shifting gears, unlike manual transmissions where drivers must juggle gear changes. 2. Automatic Transmission Cars Do Not Stall: Especially during starts, uphill climbs, or crossing obstacles, they rarely stall. In contrast, manual transmissions require precise coordination of the clutch, brake, and accelerator; otherwise, stalling is common during starts or uphill driving. 3. Effortless and Practical Driving Experience: Automatic transmissions are suitable for everyone—beginners, experienced drivers, men, and women alike. While automatic transmission vehicles are highly popular, manual transmission cars still offer the joy of driving. Consumers can choose the type that best suits their needs.

Why does the car dashboard flash and fail to start?

When the car dashboard flashes and the engine fails to start, it is usually caused by a dead battery. If you need to start the engine, you can call for assistance to jump-start the car. The battery is a crucial component in a vehicle that stores electrical energy. Without a functioning battery, the car cannot operate normally. When the engine is off, the battery supplies power to all electrical devices in the car and is also responsible for starting the engine. During engine startup, the starter motor, fuel supply system, and ignition system all require electricity to function. The battery must deliver a high current during engine startup. If the battery's performance is poor, it may result in difficulty starting the engine or even complete failure to start.

Disadvantages of Rearview Mirror Rain Visors

The disadvantages of rearview mirror rain visors include affecting aesthetics and potentially interfering with the adjustment of the rearview mirror itself. Here is a detailed introduction to the disadvantages of rearview mirror rain visors: 1. Affect aesthetics: They are not aesthetically pleasing, and installing rain visors on a vehicle can give it a cheap appearance. Poor-quality adhesives can be eroded by rainwater, making them prone to falling off. 2. Interfere with the adjustment of the rearview mirror: The outer part is stuck on the rearview mirror, while the inner part is inserted into the gap between the rearview mirror and its frame. Due to the thickness of the rain visor, installing it on the inner side may affect the adjustment of the rearview mirror itself.

What does the EPC light on the car dashboard mean?

The EPC light on the car dashboard indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's mechanical and electronic systems. EPC stands for Electronic Power Control, also known as the electronic throttle. The two most common scenarios are: 1. The throttle is dirty, in which case it should be cleaned; 2. The brake light is not working, requiring inspection of the brake switch and wiring. A constantly illuminated EPC warning light represents a fault in the engine management system or electronic control, often accompanied by unstable idling or cold start engine vibrations. These issues are generally caused by poor fuel quality or dirty operating environments. Potential causes include a dirty throttle valve, vacuum leaks in the intake system, damaged brake switches, or failure to upgrade the engine system in time.
