Here are the related explanations for radiator water shortage: 1. Causes of radiator water shortage: (1) Water pipe joint or pipe itself leaks, replace pipe or reinforce sealing; (2) Cylinder block has cracks, cylinder head gasket is not tight or damaged, causing water channeling; (3) Oil cooler sealing ring is damaged or has sand holes, resulting in water channeling. 2. Judgment of radiator water shortage: (1) Observe whether the exhaust pipe emits white smoke - if yes, it indicates water burning, possibly due to cylinder block cracks or cylinder head gasket issues; (2) Cracked cylinder block: The radiator will bubble up but not boil over; (3) Loose or damaged cylinder head gasket will cause insufficient vehicle power.

What is the maximum range of BYD's pure electric vehicles?

BYD e5, as a pure electric model, has a maximum range of 400km. Below is relevant information about pure electric vehicles: 1. Definition: Pure electric vehicles refer to vehicles that use on-board power as their energy source, with motors driving the wheels, meeting all road traffic and safety regulations. Due to their relatively smaller environmental impact compared to traditional vehicles, their prospects are widely optimistic, although current technology is not yet mature. 2. Classification: Pure electric vehicles have developed into various types, usually classified by vehicle purpose, number of on-board power sources, and the composition of the drive system. Based on different purposes, pure electric vehicles can be divided into three types: electric cars, electric trucks, and electric buses. (1) Electric cars are currently the most common type of pure electric vehicles. Apart from some concept cars, pure electric cars have been produced in small batches and have entered the automotive market. (2) Electric trucks used for power transportation are relatively rare, while in mines, construction sites, and some special locations, large-tonnage pure electric trucks have already appeared. (3) Electric buses: pure electric minibuses are also less common; pure electric large buses used as public transport have shown good performance in some city bus routes, as well as at events like the World Expo and international sports games.

What is the correct way to drive in snowy conditions?

The correct way to drive in snowy conditions is to reduce speed and use brakes properly. Here are some tips for driving correctly in snowy conditions: 1. Reduce speed: Lower your speed and avoid sudden acceleration. After snowfall, the road's coefficient of friction is very low, making it easier for wheels to skid, which significantly increases the risk. Therefore, reducing speed is the best way to ensure safety. Maintain a steady speed as much as possible, prevent excessive speed, and avoid sudden acceleration. 2. Use brakes correctly: Roads after snowfall are quite slippery, and braking in curves can cause the vehicle to skid sideways, so it's best to brake while driving straight. Most modern vehicles are equipped with ABS, so you just need to press the pedal firmly, but make sure all four tires have the same tread pattern and tire pressure.

Can a Hard Clutch Be Adjusted?

A hard clutch can be adjusted. Here are some details about the clutch: 1. Car Clutch: Above the clutch pedal, there is a screw rod. Use a 12mm spanner to loosen the locking nut on the screw rod a few turns, then rotate the screw rod to adjust the clutch travel to the appropriate position. The clutch adjustment must be moderate—neither too high nor too low. 2. Clutch Control: If the clutch is adjusted too high, it will be more tiring to operate, causing the left foot to easily become sore. If the clutch is adjusted too low, it will accelerate the wear of the transmission gears. Proper clutch control is an essential skill for drivers.
