    Study Notes

    • The car's coolant level is too low, and it needs to be adjusted to the recommended level, which is around the middle point between the maximum and minimum marks.
    • The coolant level should be checked when the car is cold, as it will be closer to the minimum mark when hot and closer to the maximum mark when cold.
    • To purge the cooling system, the radiator cap should be removed to allow air to escape, and then replaced when no more coolant comes out.
    • It's recommended to place a cloth or paper under the cap to catch any spills.
    • The process should be done with the car turned off, as doing it with the car on can cause burns.
    • The coolant level should be checked regularly to ensure it's at the recommended level, as low levels can cause problems.
    • The car's coolant system should be purged regularly to remove air pockets and ensure proper functioning.
    • The radiator cap should be handled carefully, as it can break if over-tightened or if it's old and dry.
    • When accelerating the car, the coolant flow increases, but it should return to normal when the car is stopped.
    • Leaving the coolant level too high or too low can cause problems, such as overheating or damage to the engine.
