The place to add water in a car is under the hood, on the left side of the engine. The precautions for adding water are as follows: Precautions for adding antifreeze to the car: The part near the front of the car is for adding windshield washer fluid, and the part near the windshield is for adding antifreeze. Neither windshield washer fluid nor antifreeze can be replaced with water. Specialized products must be used, and antifreeze cannot be replaced with tap water. The boiling point of antifreeze is above 120 degrees Celsius, while the boiling point of water is only 100 degrees Celsius. Using antifreeze can prevent the car from "boiling over" in summer. Using water instead of antifreeze can easily cause scale buildup, requiring frequent replacement, whereas using antifreeze does not have this issue. Water can cause some corrosion to the cooling system, while antifreeze contains additives that prevent corrosion and rust. For fuel-efficient household cars, never use tap water instead of antifreeze. Reasons why windshield washer fluid cannot be replaced with tap water: Windshield washer fluid cannot be replaced with tap water. Compared to tap water, windshield washer fluid has a lower freezing point. The freezing point of tap water is 0 degrees, so tap water will freeze below 0 degrees, but windshield washer fluid can resist freezing down to -25 degrees. Therefore, if the environmental temperature in the area is below 0 degrees, antifreeze windshield washer fluid must be used. Tap water contains more minerals and impurities. If tap water is used for a period of time, the spray nozzle may become clogged with impurities and scale, preventing normal spraying.

Is 4 Liters of Engine Oil Enough for the Tiggo 3?

Adding 4 liters of engine oil to Chery's Tiggo 3 is completely sufficient. In most cases, you only need to ensure the oil level is between the upper and lower marks on the engine oil dipstick. Below are specific methods for selecting engine oil for your car: 1. Performance Selection: If you prioritize long-lasting oil performance, you can choose Mobil oil; if you focus on the oil's cleaning ability for the engine, Shell lubricants are a good option; for stronger oil film toughness, Castrol is recommended. 2. Driving Conditions: If you frequently drive in congested areas, own an older vehicle, or operate heavy-duty vehicles for long-distance transport, you can appropriately increase the viscosity of the lubricant. 3. Engine Type: For naturally aspirated engines, you can use mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more compact structure and operate under harsher conditions, requiring higher-grade lubricants with better fluidity, preferably full synthetic oil.

Does the Geely Emgrand GL Have a Headlight Cleaning Function?

Geely Emgrand GL does not come with a headlight cleaning function as standard; it requires aftermarket installation. The headlight cleaning device is located below the front headlights and is used to remove dust and dirt from the headlights. There are two types of headlight cleaning systems: 1. A scrubbing system for glass diffusers; 2. A high-pressure cleaning system for both glass and plastic diffusers. The Geely Emgrand GL measures 4725mm in length, 1802mm in width, and 1478mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. Its front grille integrates seamlessly with the headlights, creating a floating front fascia. The car features a fastback-style line and a short tail design, with integrated LED light guide taillights and a license plate frame forming smooth lines that complement the dynamic upward-swept rear spoiler.

How to Turn Off the Engine Start-Stop System?

Here are the methods to disable the engine start-stop system: 1. Directly press: The auto start-stop button (circular arrow containing the letter A), and the dashboard will display a system deactivation prompt. 2. Reactivation: To reuse this function, simply press the button again to turn it on. 3. Automatic operation: After enabling auto start-stop, applying moderate pressure on the brake pedal will shut off the engine; releasing and reapplying the brake will restart it, thereby achieving fuel savings. Below are the drawbacks of auto start-stop: 1. Battery: Higher maintenance costs for batteries and starters: Frequent engine starts and stops can damage related components such as starters and batteries. Although vehicles equipped with auto start-stop systems use reinforced starters and batteries, in practice, their failure rates are higher than those in conventional vehicles without this system. 2. Poor user experience: Auto start-stop system designs vary across different brands and models. Some vehicles have suboptimal start-stop logic with poorly timed interventions, occasionally failing to activate during prolonged stops. 3. Increased fuel consumption in traffic jams: During severe congestion, prolonged engine shutdowns lower combustion chamber temperatures, causing unburned hydrocarbons and paraffin to form carbon deposits on cylinder walls. Poor fuel quality exacerbates this issue. Carbon buildup leads to higher fuel consumption and reduced power output, counteracting the fuel-saving purpose of the auto start-stop feature.
