If the flood-damaged car has been insured with vehicle damage insurance, it can be claimed for insurance. Component rusting: A water-soaked car is highly prone to rusting of body components, shortening its lifespan and reducing safety performance. Short-circuiting and stalling: A flood-damaged car can cause corrosion and rusting of the vehicle's wiring, leading to sudden stalling or spontaneous combustion due to short-circuiting while driving. Interior mold: The most obvious and superficial issue with a flood-damaged car is that the interior is highly susceptible to mold. Repair costs: The repair costs for flood-damaged vehicles are very expensive. In cases of severe water damage, the repair costs may exceed 50% of the original vehicle price.

Does Citroen have hybrid models?

Citroen's hybrid model is the Tianyi C5 AIRCROSS New Energy. Below is an introduction about hybrid technology: Parallel mode: One is the "parallel mode" where the engine serves as the main power source, and the electric motor acts as an auxiliary power source. Hybrid mode: The other is the "series-parallel mode" where the vehicle is driven solely by the electric motor at low speeds, and both the engine and electric motor work together at higher speeds. During startup and low-speed driving, the vehicle is powered solely by the electric motor. As speed increases, the engine and electric motor efficiently share the power load. This method requires power distribution devices and generators, making the structure more complex.

Where is the brake located in an automatic transmission car?

In an automatic transmission car, the brake is located below the main driver's console, with the brake on the left and the accelerator on the right, both controlled by the right foot. The principle of car braking is: utilizing the friction between the brake pads and brake discs, as well as between the tires and the ground, to generate significant friction, converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction, thereby stopping the rotating parts. The gears of an automatic transmission are: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low). The starting techniques for an automatic transmission car are: 1. Before starting, place the gear selector in P or N position; 2. Engage the parking brake or press the brake pedal; 3. Shift to D gear, release the parking brake, slowly lift the brake, and gently press the accelerator to start the vehicle.
