Why Does the Car's Low Coolant Warning Light Come On?
1 Answers
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.
