The low coolant warning light resembles a thermometer with two wavy lines beneath it. This indicator illuminates on the dashboard when the vehicle is low on coolant. The solution is to promptly add coolant and then check for any leaks. Precautions for using coolant: 1. Do not mix brands: Try to use the same brand of coolant. Different brands of coolant use different metal corrosion inhibitors, so they should not be mixed. 2. Pay attention to the expiration date: Most coolants have a shelf life of two years (some products may last longer). When adding coolant, make sure the product is within its expiration date. When replacing, drain the old coolant completely, clean the cooling system thoroughly, and then add new coolant. 3. Do not dilute with water: Traditional inorganic coolants should not be diluted with water, as this can cause sedimentation and severely affect the coolant's normal function. Organic coolants can be diluted with water, but the amount of water added should not be excessive.

Does shifting to N gear when parking an automatic car cause damage to the vehicle?

Shifting to N gear when parking an automatic car does not cause damage to the vehicle. Although shifting to N gear does not harm the vehicle, it does not fully engage the brakes, posing a risk of the car rolling in neutral. Therefore, it is best to shift to P gear when parking. Below are the methods for parking an automatic car and an introduction to the car gear positions: Methods for parking an automatic car: First, press the foot brake to stop the car, then shift the gear from D to N, and engage the handbrake. Release the foot brake, but do not turn off the power. Then, press the foot brake again, shift the gear from N to P, release the foot brake, and turn off the power. Introduction to car gear positions: B gear is the brake gear. When the vehicle enters a long downhill section, you can shift to B gear. At this time, engine braking will intervene, preventing accidents caused by overheating of the brake pads due to prolonged use of the service brake. P gear is the parking gear. When parking, the gear should be placed in P gear, and the car will stop braking, preventing any rolling. R gear is the reverse gear. When reversing the vehicle, use R gear, but only when the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Otherwise, it can cause serious damage to the car's transmission. N gear is the neutral gear, used for brief stops, such as waiting at a traffic light, where you can shift to N gear. D gear is the drive gear, used when the vehicle is moving forward. S gear is the sport mode. The transmission will freely shift gears based on the current speed and the driver's throttle input, but there may be a slight delay during gear shifts.
