Hybrid vehicles can wade through water with a depth of 40CM. Below are specific details about electric vehicles: Introduction: Electric vehicles are vigorously promoted by the state, comply with national new energy vehicle standards, possess production licenses and qualifications, and are officially recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. They are nationally certified vehicles. New energy vehicles include all vehicles powered by sources other than gasoline and diesel engines, such as fuel cell vehicles, hybrid vehicles, hydrogen-powered vehicles, and solar-powered vehicles. Driving Method: Pure electric vehicles are powered by onboard power sources, use motors to drive the wheels, and meet all the requirements of road traffic and safety regulations.

I've been driving a hybrid for a while now, and my biggest concern is wading through water during the rainy season. The battery pack of a hybrid is usually placed under the chassis. Although manufacturers have waterproofed it, it's not exactly a submarine. If the water level exceeds half the height of the tires, I definitely wouldn't dare to force my way through—just imagine the terrifying repair costs if the battery pack gets flooded. Last time during a heavy rain, I detoured when I saw standing water, but someone in my friend circle drove the same model through it and ended up with over 8,000 yuan in repairs. Actually, the sealing level of hybrid batteries is higher than that of regular fuel-powered cars, but the key is to check the manufacturer's specified wading depth. I looked it up in the manual, and it says the maximum is 20 cm. My advice is to turn on navigation during heavy rain to check real-time road conditions—never take the risk. The battery pack is much more delicate than an engine.

What to Do When Car Air Conditioning Leaks Water into the Car?

If your car air conditioning is leaking, it needs to be disassembled and inspected at a repair shop. Reasons for car air conditioning leaks: 1. Clogged drain pipe: Long-term use can cause the drain pipe to age, loosen, or bend, forming a wavy shape that leads to poor drainage and partial blockage, resulting in water leaking into the car. 2. Blocked drain outlet: If the outdoor drain outlet is clogged with debris, condensation water cannot be discharged, gradually causing water to backflow and eventually leak into the car. 3. Improper installation: If the indoor unit is excessively tilted or the pipe direction is too high, water cannot flow properly, leading to accumulation and eventually leaking into the car.

What is the testing method for an automotive electronic throttle pedal?

The testing method for an automotive electronic throttle pedal: Use a multimeter, and it's necessary to locate the wiring of the electronic throttle pedal. Measuring the electronic throttle pedal is relatively complex, and it's not recommended for car owners to perform this operation themselves, as the electronic throttle pedal has numerous wires. It is advisable to seek professional assistance for measurement. Electronic throttle pedals are equipped with a pedal position sensor, through which the ECU can determine the extent to which the throttle pedal has been depressed. Older vehicles used a cable throttle design, where one end of the steel cable was connected to the throttle pedal and the other end to the throttle body. Modern vehicles employ an electronic throttle design, with the throttle pedal equipped with a position sensor. When the throttle pedal is depressed, the sensor sends a signal to the ECU, which then controls the throttle opening.

How to Turn on the Heater in Geely Boyue?

The heater switch for the Geely Boyue is located at the inner circulation knob of the air conditioning control buttons. To activate the heating, first start the car and wait approximately 8-15 minutes until the water temperature rises to the normal level. Then, you can turn on the heater. Adjust the air conditioning circulation mode to inner circulation, and finally, use the temperature control to increase the temperature. Below are some related instructions for turning on the heater in the Geely Boyue: 1. Switch to the heating mode. Some cars indicate this with a red zone, while others use a sun symbol. Do not turn on the air conditioning (do not activate the AC switch), as the heater utilizes the car's own heat circulation. 2. Adjust the air conditioning blower to a suitable speed and set the air outlet direction (the warm air is usually directed forward and toward the feet).

How to Remove the Car Center Console?

Method for removing the car center console: First, remove the air conditioning control module, then use a plastic pry tool to loosen the upper cover panel of the center console and remove it. Next, use the plastic pry tool to remove the air vents on the center console. Once the air vents are removed, the entire center console panel can be taken out. Note that the removal method may vary for different car models. The car center console is the area that controls comfort and entertainment devices such as the air conditioning and audio system. It includes the central control door lock system, allowing the driver to control the opening and closing of all doors and the window lift system. The central control door lock system mainly has three functions: central control, speed control, and individual control. The driver can control all door locks, and when the vehicle reaches a certain speed, the doors automatically lock. Additionally, each door has an independent switch for individual control.

What should be noted when refueling a car?

When refueling a car, pay attention to the following: 1. Do not wait until the yellow fuel warning light comes on; 2. Choose to refuel in the morning or evening; 3. Avoid filling the tank completely when driving in the city; 4. Do not refuel during thunderstorms. The fuel pump in the tank is cooled by gasoline. If the fuel level is too low and does not cover the pump, prolonged operation under such conditions may reduce the lifespan of the fuel pump. For city driving, there is no need to fill the tank completely, as frequent stopping and starting can increase engine load. It is recommended not to fill the tank beyond two-thirds of its capacity. Overfilling can cause gasoline to overflow, potentially flowing into the intake manifold through the pipes and "drowning" the spark plugs, leading to engine stalling after refueling. In severe cases, the car may fail to start normally, and gasoline could even leak from the carbon canister, posing a significant fire hazard if exposed to open flames.
