The Hongqi H5 will not display a warning when the coolant is low. Generally, it needs to be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. Coolant replacement method: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a focus on the five-way hose. The five-way hose gets its name from having five connections to various parts, and the coolant flows through it to be distributed to different sections of the car to function. If there is any coolant leakage in this part, replace the hose or resecure the connections as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir, then continue adding water to ensure it flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water draining from the reservoir will have a faint pink tint. Keep adding clean water until the outflow is clear. Remember to remove the heater hose to drain the water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add the new coolant through the radiator hose to allow it to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another bottle of coolant to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the coolant level will drop. Top it up again until it reaches the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.
