When the wading water level reaches two-thirds of the bumper or tire height, continuing to drive through water poses certain risks. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. Reason: Higher speed increases the actual water depth the car is passing through, which may cause rainwater to enter the cabin from the engine compartment or chassis. Generally, water depth up to half the wheel height (approximately 30 cm) is manageable. It is advisable not to proceed if the depth exceeds this level. 2. Solution: If only a small amount of water enters the car and the floor mats are slightly damp, simply open the doors, remove the mats, and allow them to air dry in the sun.

What is the maximum tonnage for blue license plate trucks?

Blue license plate trucks have a maximum tonnage not exceeding 4.5 tons. With a C1 driver's license: all blue license plate passenger and cargo vehicles fall within its permissible driving range. The C1 license only allows driving vehicles with a total mass not exceeding 4.5 tons, seating capacity (including the driver) not exceeding 9 people, or vehicles under 6 meters in length, all classified as small vehicles. Additionally, the C1 license permits driving vehicles under the C2 (small automatic transmission vehicles), C3 (low-speed cargo vehicles), and C4 (three-wheeled vehicles) categories. It's important to note that dual tires mounted together count as a single wheel. According to the 'People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations': heavy and medium-duty trucks are issued large truck license plates, commonly known as yellow plates; light and mini trucks are issued small truck license plates, commonly known as blue plates. Depending on the color of the truck's license plate, the required driver's license class varies. Yellow plate trucks require a B2 license to drive, while blue plate trucks require a C1 license. Since the B2 license covers the C1 category, holders of a B2 license can drive both blue and yellow plate trucks.

Is it necessary to drive the car for out-of-town vehicle file transfer?

For vehicle file transfer in another location, you can either drive the car to the local DMV for the transfer or proceed with a no-car file transfer. The procedure for no-car file transfer is as follows: apply for an out-of-town inspection authorization to the local DMV where the inspection is required. After the DMV completes the inspection and sends back the materials to the vehicle's registration location DMV for verification, pay the corresponding used car transaction tax, issue a temporary license plate, and provide the mailing address for the registration number before sealing and mailing the file back to the local DMV. Once the file is returned, you can directly proceed with the file entry and registration procedures. Precautions for vehicle file transfer are as follows: Before relocating, consult the local DMV about the relocation standards; vehicle is required for registration in another location, so do not return the car before completing the registration process in the new location. You can wait until the vehicle is registered before returning the commercial insurance and compulsory traffic insurance; before processing the transfer, ensure all traffic violation records are cleared, obtain the transaction tax invoice, and complete other procedures such as vehicle tracing, vehicle inspection at the monitoring station, and license plate retrieval.

What is the Difference Between Leopard Super Select 4WD and Mechanical 4WD?

The following are the differences between Leopard Super Select 4WD and Mechanical 4WD: 1. Driving Force: The Super Select 4WD is an electronically assisted SS4-II system. The advantage of the Super Select 4WD system is that the vehicle can freely switch between 2H and 4H gears within a speed of 100 km/h. When in the 4H position, it achieves true full-time four-wheel drive, providing better traction and driving force. 2. Applicability: When in the 4HLC position, it is equivalent to the high-speed four-wheel drive of a hardcore part-time 4WD off-road vehicle, and the vehicle's central differential is locked at this time, with the front and rear axle power distribution maintained at 50:50 and constant output. It is suitable for unpaved roads such as sand and muddy paths. 3. Climbing: When in the 4LLC position, it is equivalent to the low-speed four-wheel drive of a hardcore part-time 4WD off-road vehicle, with the central differential also locked, and the front and rear axles each outputting 50% of the power. Additionally, the transfer case switches to a low-speed gear, which can amplify the torque by 1.9 times.

Is a Break-in Period Inspection Necessary for Mercedes-Benz?

It is highly recommended to conduct a break-in period inspection after purchasing a new car. Concept of the break-in period for new cars: The so-called break-in period for a new car refers to the initial driving period after the car leaves the factory, during which the engine components are allowed to wear in smoothly. The typical break-in mileage for a new car ranges from 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. Characteristics of the break-in period for new cars: Higher incidence of driving faults: Due to factors such as improper assembly of components, new cars are more prone to driving faults during the break-in period; Increased fuel consumption: To ensure the new car operates under light load during the break-in period, carburetor-equipped cars are fitted with speed limiters, which can easily lead to an overly rich air-fuel mixture, thereby increasing fuel consumption; Lubricating oil is prone to deterioration: During the break-in period, the rough surfaces of components and the small gaps between them cause the lubricating oil temperature to rise. Additionally, many metal particles are worn off and mix into the lubricating oil, making it more susceptible to oxidation and deterioration.
