Where to Check the Engine Temperature of Lavida?
2 Answers
Lavida's engine temperature can be viewed in the instrument cluster directly in front of the driver. Introduction to Temperature Gauge: This temperature gauge typically does not indicate the actual temperature but rather displays a "normal temperature range." Generally, as long as the needle stays within this range, it is considered normal. However, in most cases, when the engine is at normal operating temperature, the needle will be positioned in the middle of the gauge. Engine Temperature Control: The engine's temperature is regulated by the thermostat. Overheated coolant causes the thermostat to open, allowing the coolant to flow through the radiator for cooling. Therefore, regardless of whether it's winter or summer, the radiator continuously dissipates heat.
When driving my Lavida, I noticed that the engine temperature can be directly seen on the dashboard. It's usually displayed as a circular icon or thermometer symbol in the middle section, with a normal operating range around 90 degrees. If the temperature accidentally rises, with the needle climbing up or a warning light coming on, it might indicate a cooling system issue, such as a leaking radiator or a broken fan. Once, I neglected to check it, and the temperature exceeded 120 degrees, almost causing the car to break down on the road. It took a lot of effort to add coolant to get it back to normal. Since then, I've developed a habit of glancing at the dashboard every time I start the car, saving myself a lot of trouble and avoiding the risk of major engine repairs.
