If a vehicle has been submerged in water, it is recommended not to drive or use it. It must be inspected and repaired before use. Depending on the duration of submersion, the following situations may occur: During use: If submersion occurs. Based on the extent of submersion, if water has entered the cabin or reached a high level in the vehicle, do not attempt to enter or move the vehicle. It should be towed to a repair facility as soon as possible for inspection and repair. Stalling on flooded roads: If the vehicle stalls while driving through flooded areas or immediately after being submerged, do not attempt to drive it further. Contact a repair facility immediately for assistance. Previously submerged: Vehicles that have been repaired but not completely cleared of potential hazards still pose significant risks if continued to be used. Severe cases may result in spontaneous combustion, damage to the engine, transmission, airbags, and other components.

What should be paid attention to when changing tires?

Precautions for tire replacement: 1. Consistent specifications: The replacement tires should have the same specifications as the original tires installed on the vehicle. 2. Balance: When replacing two tires at the same time, each wheel must be rebalanced after replacement to ensure that the mass of each part of the assembly is very uniform. Tires are one of the most important components of a car, and their main functions include: 1. Support: Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle, bearing the load of the car, transmitting traction and braking torque, and ensuring the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. 2. Smoothness: Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to car components, adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle, reducing driving noise, and ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy-saving economy.

Where is the tire pressure reset button on the Haval H7?

The Haval H7 does not have a separate tire pressure reset button. The procedure for resetting the tire pressure is as follows: Press the up button on the left side of the steering wheel to display the low tire pressure indicator reactivation, then press the (R) button on the dashboard to check if the tire pressure is normal. Finally, press the button on the right side of the steering wheel, wait for 10 seconds before turning off the button, and restart the vehicle to find the tire pressure warning has disappeared. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening its lifespan; Increases vehicle body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overstretches the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and blowouts, leading to tire bursts.

Why is there no sound when charging an electric vehicle charger?

The reasons why there is no sound when charging an electric vehicle charger: 1. The charger is damaged: If the power indicator light does not turn on when the charger is plugged in to charge the electric vehicle, it means the charger is already damaged, and naturally there will be no sound; 2. Whether the charger is air-cooled: To force air cooling for the switching power supply power tube, some electric vehicle charger manufacturers install a fan inside the charger. If there is no sound from this type of charger, it means the fan is damaged. Electric vehicles, also known as electric-driven vehicles, are divided into AC electric vehicles and DC electric vehicles. The electric vehicles commonly referred to by people use batteries as the energy source, converting electrical energy into mechanical motion through components such as controllers and motors, and controlling the speed by adjusting the current size.
