Radiator coolant should be added into the car's expansion tank. Open the engine hood, locate the expansion tank (usually spherical in shape), remove the tank cap, and pour in the appropriate amount of radiator coolant. The optimal filling level is between the MAX and MIN marks. Additional information: Radiator coolant should not be mixed with water. Adding water will reduce the coolant's effectiveness by lowering its boiling point (diminishing cooling performance) and raising its freezing point (making it prone to freezing in cold climates). Although radiator coolant contains water, it is specially treated deionized soft water. Regular tap water contains various impurities and ions that can form scale over time, leading to blockages.

What is the method for shifting gears in an automatic transmission?

The method for shifting gears in an automatic transmission is: locate the button on the side of the gear lever, press the button while shifting, move the gear lever to the desired gear position, and then release it. Without pressing the button, the gear lever cannot be moved. The gear positions in an automatic transmission car are: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), L (Low), S (Sport mode), and OD (Overdrive). Precautions for driving an automatic transmission car include: 1. Do not shift into P while driving; 2. After driving, the engine must be turned off and the gear must be shifted into P before the key can be removed; 3. Do not shift into N while driving to coast; 4. When starting the vehicle in P or N, remove the gear lever from P while pressing the brake, turn on the power while pressing the brake, shift to N, and after ignition, shift into D to move forward directly.

How to Adjust the Sound Effects of the Passat?

The method to adjust the sound effects of the Passat: You can adjust it in the 'tone' settings, where you can set the music genre, treble and bass, loudness, and the volume of front, rear, left, and right speakers. You can also adjust the high, mid, and low frequencies. It is recommended to attenuate the bass as the low frequency is somewhat excessive, leading to noticeable standing waves. The car audio system is designed to alleviate the monotony of driving and traveling for the driver and passengers. The Passat is a mid-size car under SAIC Volkswagen. Taking the Passat 2021 280TSI Business Edition as an example, its dimensions are 4933mm in length, 1836mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. The body structure is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan, with a fuel tank capacity of 68.5 liters and a trunk capacity of 521 liters.

What Causes a Car to Stall After Jerking?

The reasons for a car stalling after jerking are: 1. Issues with the transmission gear program settings; 2. Internal contamination and impurities in the transmission, which prevent effective regulation of transmission oil pressure; 3. Transmission cooling problems. Poor transmission cooling can lead to abnormally high temperatures, affecting the performance of the transmission fluid. The rubber sealing materials in the transmission may harden, causing leaks and consequently affecting oil pressure. Jerking is more likely to occur during sudden acceleration or acceleration after braking. The computer's shifting logic is based on the driver's throttle input. Normally, when the driver gradually presses the accelerator, the computer's default logic would simply upshift to complete the acceleration. However, if the input is too forceful, the clutch may realize during upshifting that a downshift is necessary to fulfill the intention of sudden acceleration, leading to an immediate downshift. This back-and-forth process disrupts the smooth transmission of power, resulting in jerking.

What Causes Car Coolant to Boil Over?

The reasons for car coolant boiling over are: 1. The radiator fan is damaged and not functioning properly; 2. The radiator is clogged, leading to poor heat dissipation and boiling over; 3. Thermostat failure; 4. Insufficient coolant; 5. Poor water pump performance; 6. Abnormal coolant temperature sensor, gauge, or circuit; 7. Use of high-quality coolant. The method for replacing coolant is: 1. Open the vehicle's engine hood and locate the coolant reservoir; 2. Open the coolant drain plug under the radiator to drain the old coolant; 3. Add new coolant and tighten the cap. The functions of coolant are: 1. Providing antifreeze protection for the engine against low-temperature environments; 2. Preventing the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine block and cylinder head during cold winter parking; 3. Providing efficient heat dissipation.
