Why doesn't Classic Sylphy have a thermometer?

The classic Nissan Sylphy has no thermometer. The water temperature indicator light is blue at low temperature, red at high temperature and off at ordinary times, which can be viewed in the following ways.

2. After the vehicle is started, the dashboard of the vehicle will be lit to display the information of the current vehicle.

You can see the green water temperature indicator on the left side of the dashboard.

In fact, it's not only that there is no thermometer on the dashboard of Nissan Sylphy, but also Volkswagen Jetta, Santana, Honda Fit, Toyota Vios, Chevrolet New Sail and Kia K2. And there is no water thermometer. It is not difficult to find that these models are relatively low-end joint venture vehicles, and the sales of many models are no less than those of mainstream joint venture vehicles. So why are these cars upset about the water thermometer?

The cost of installing a car water thermometer is not high. Simply put, it only needs a temperature sensor and a low-end temperature dial, but for a car company, they can save money. In the eyes of car companies, low-end joint venture cars can only be used for daily transportation, and it is impossible to want comfort and driving control, and often the sales of these models are relatively high. For a profitable car company, these costs are not a small number.

However, all cars now come standard with water temperature warning lights. When the water temperature of the car is too high, the light will come on. At this time, we just need to pull over. It is worth noting that it is forbidden to turn off the fire to reduce the water temperature, but let the engine cool at idle speed.

Also need to check the car coolant from time to time. Coolant can effectively reduce the water temperature and prevent the engine from boiling. If the coolant level is too low, even if there is no car with high load for a long time, the water temperature of the car will be at a high temperature, so it is necessary to change the coolant regularly. However, different models have different requirements for coolant replacement, so they should be replaced according to the coolant recommended by automobile manufacturers, and different colors of coolant should not be mixed to prevent chemical reaction and achieve good cooling effect.

I wish you a happy ride and a happy new year!

Classic sylphy, you can save it. How expensive the watch is, no one looks at it on weekdays. Change the traffic light at 1 min. It's green and normal. Don't turn on the red light!

Reducing the weight of the car body can save fuel. I just want to ask how much a thermometer can weigh. The vehicle configuration is too serious now.

Nissan Sylphy uses a water temperature signal lamp instead of a water thermometer. When the key switch is turned on, it lights up when the engine cooling water temperature is low. When the key switch with normal engine cooling water temperature is turned on, the low water temperature indicator (green display) lights up about 1 s, then the high water temperature warning light (red display) lights up about 1 s, and then goes out.

If the engine is still on after full warm-up, the water temperature sensor may be faulty and need to be repaired immediately, otherwise it is impossible to tell whether it is a signal lamp problem or an engine cooling system problem, and there may be overheating damage caused by insufficient coolant.

There are generally two ways to display the water temperature, one is a pointer and the other is a signal lamp. These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.

If the signal lamp is used, it can save the display space of the instrument and help to integrate with the dashboard and other information. The overall layout of the dashboard is more beautiful and saves costs. In this respect, it has great advantages over pointer display layout.

However, in an emergency, the pointer has an advantage. When driving on the road, if the coolant leaks or the cooling system fails, you can visually check the current water temperature through the pointer. When the coolant can't be replenished, stop near the high temperature and drive when the temperature drops. Generally speaking, you have a high degree of freedom.

On the other hand, the signal light will only be displayed at low temperature or high temperature, and it is not easy to operate in an emergency. It can be said that even if the coolant is insufficient, I dare not drive when I can. Because, I don't know when the fault will happen at all, and there is no reference data.

Summary: These two water temperature display modes have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the water temperature indicator lamp is more suitable for Sylphy. After all, the feature of Sylphy is the perfect layout of the interior.

The reason why there is no water thermometer is to save some money. The profits of car companies are accumulated bit by bit. Don't think that a water thermometer can't save much money, and an electric meter can save 500 thousand sets. You can save a lot of money if you look at the sales of Sylphy. Because these things are not required by the state, enterprises can generally save.

In addition to the water thermometer, there are also front fog lights and small spare tires, which are all ways for car companies to save costs and create profits. Why only the classic Sylphy is a water temperature lamp, and the new Sylphy has a water temperature meter? You can see how much they differ.

My car has also designed a water temperature lamp, and the green one on the right is a water temperature meter.

The thermometer has three states: green, off and red. Green indicates the water temperature light. When the car is powered on and the car is cold, the water temperature light is green. If you need to drive at this time, you must drive slowly. When the water temperature reaches a certain temperature, the water temperature lamp will go out. Usually, the water thermometer is in these two States, either green or off. Once the water temperature meter turns red, it means that the water temperature is too high, so stop and check immediately.

Without a water meter, how can we know whether the water temperature is normal? There are three ways:

1, look at the speed, the idle speed is very low, which means that it is in a normal state, and you can drive when you step on the accelerator. If the idle speed is relatively high, it means that the water temperature is low and it is not suitable for intense driving.

2. Touch the temperature, turn on the car heater and touch the air outlet temperature. If the air outlet is cold, the water temperature is low. If the air outlet is very hot, it means that the temperature has gone up completely.

This is normal, for example, the battery charging ammeter is replaced by a battery indicator light, and the oil pressure gauge is replaced by an oil lamp. As long as it does not affect safe driving and corresponding functions, it is not a reduction, but it is still an improvement!

Many cars don't have water temperature meters. I have driven the Elysee before. The low-speed water temperature in the urban area always hovers around 100. Although I didn't call the police, I was not practical. Later, I changed cars. I don't have a thermometer, which is even more unreliable. I bought an OBD and put it in the left corner of the window. The water temperature, fuel consumption, speed and speed are all out, which is particularly accurate. I seldom look at the dashboard now. In fact, the manufacturer must have a good idea about the design. If it doesn't affect driving and you really can't stand it, then spend 100 to buy a peace of mind and hang an OBD.
