I've been driving a Great Wall C30 for over a decade, and the coolant reservoir is located under the hood. When you pop the front hood, you'll immediately spot the transparent plastic tank on the left side - that's the expansion tank, marked with MIN and MAX level indicators. Never top up coolant when the engine is hot. I learned this the hard way when steam shot out and nearly scalded me right after parking. Always wait at least half an hour for the engine to cool completely. Once located, unscrew the cap and check the level - if it's below the MIN line, add some coolant. I recommend using ethylene glycol-based coolant. Never use plain water, or you risk frozen pipes cracking in winter (been there, done that). Why fill there? Because this tank connects directly to the cooling system, storing liquid for easy monitoring and replenishment. Check it every six months normally, but if it keeps running dry, you'll need to find the leak. Remembering its location and these precautions can significantly extend your engine's lifespan.

As an ordinary user, this is how I add coolant to my Great Wall C30. Open the hood, the reservoir is usually located near the front of the car, a white or green plastic container marked with the coolant icon. First, make sure the engine is cold—touch it to confirm it's not hot before opening the cap. After opening, check the fluid level; if it's below the MIN line, top it up with the correct brand of coolant to near the MAX line. My habit is to check it every quarter to ensure there are no leaks or scaling. A tip from experience: Last time, I found the reservoir cap was loose—just tightening it solved the issue, and using a wrench made it easier. A related suggestion: Checking before driving can save fuel, as low coolant levels can cause the engine to overheat and fail. The whole process is simple, and doing it yourself saves money and gives peace of mind.

As a Great Wall owner, to add coolant, you need to locate the expansion tank, usually in the right area under the hood. Open the front cover to identify the tank, which has MIN/MAX level indicators. The engine must be cool when adding coolant—I recommend waiting overnight to prevent burns. If the level is low, fill it to the midpoint, avoiding overflow. Remember to use the specified coolant type and mix properly; consult the manual for brand recommendations. Regular maintenance can prevent overheating issues and ensure smoother driving.

What is the fuel tank capacity of a Xiali in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of a Xiali is 37 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased a Xiali can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for Xiali is 92 octane, with a fuel consumption of 6.1L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 607 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This space is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

What Causes the Loud Noise from the Car Fan?

The loud noise from the car fan is mainly caused by three reasons. Below is a detailed explanation of these three causes: 1. Exhaust fan blades: The exhaust fan, driven by an electric motor, rotates the blades to drive airflow, facilitating air exchange between indoor and outdoor environments as part of an air conditioning appliance. When the blades of the exhaust fan inside the air conditioner become deformed, it can result in a louder noise, and it is recommended to replace the exhaust fan. 2. Exhaust fan motor: The purpose of exhaust is to remove stale indoor air and regulate temperature, humidity, and comfort. If the motor of the exhaust fan inside the air conditioner is damaged, it can lead to a louder noise, and it is recommended to replace the exhaust fan. 3. Excessive debris: If there is a significant amount of debris inside the air conditioner, it is advisable to clean the air conditioner.

Where to Place the ETC Tag?

The ETC installation position is generally in the upper middle part of the front windshield horizontally, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part. The suitable installation position should be at a height of no less than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof films, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave skylight strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply, the vehicle owner must provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is made by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is required, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Documents required for company vehicles: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); original ID card of the proxy; original vehicle registration certificate; the vehicle for which ETC is to be applied. Below are the precautions for ETC installation: Do not obstruct the driver's view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large tilt angle of the windshield, resulting in a smaller driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spot. Install it behind the rearview mirror on the right side to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it randomly once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. Once the electronic tag is installed on the windshield, the anti-removal lever will be pressed in. If removed randomly, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Points to note when using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic toll deduction for the wrong vehicle; the recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and toll deduction failure; when using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failure.

How to Use the Handbrake, Lift or Lower?

When starting, the handbrake needs to be lowered, and when parking, the handbrake needs to be pulled up. Additional Information: 1. Remember to Engage the Handbrake When Parking: Some drivers forget to engage the handbrake after parking, resulting in the car moving without a driver and causing accidents. Especially on slopes, ensure the car is in gear and the handbrake is engaged, waiting for the vehicle to stabilize before exiting. 2. Handbrake is Often Used in Conjunction with Neutral Gear: Even during brief stops like at red lights, engaging the handbrake can prevent the car from rolling on uneven roads and give your right foot a short break. Use nearby stationary objects as a reference to check for any movement. 3. Lower the Handbrake When Starting: When starting the car, make sure to lower the handbrake. Remember to press the button and ensure it is fully lowered. Many beginners forget to release the handbrake, which can cause damage to it.
