If handled properly, the car can still be driven normally in the future. Here are the specific details: Vehicle water wading process: If the engine stalls, immediately turn on the hazard lights, shut off the engine, and turn off the ignition. Do not attempt to restart the engine, as doing so can easily cause fatal damage to the engine. Such secondary damage caused by human intervention will not be covered by either the vehicle damage insurance or the water submersion insurance. Parking lot flooding: When a vehicle is submerged while stationary in an underground garage or parking lot, lock the vehicle and do not attempt to start the engine. Try to seal the vehicle as much as possible.

What is the Definition of Motor Vehicle Type Codes?

Motor vehicle type codes refer to a classification of vehicles based on their common characteristics, purpose, and function. For example, passenger cars, trucks, buses, trailers, incomplete vehicles, and motorcycles are all independent types with different codes. According to the Soviet motor vehicle classification, China's motor vehicles are divided into: 1 for trucks, 2 for off-road vehicles, 3 for dump trucks, 4 for tractors, 5 for special vehicles, 6 for passenger vehicles, 7 for sedans, 8 for semi-trailers and special semi-trailers. Bus codes starting with "K" include K11 for large ordinary buses, K12 for large double-decker buses, K13 for large sleeper buses, K14 for large articulated buses, K15 for large off-road buses, K21 for medium ordinary buses, K22 for medium double-decker buses, K23 for medium sleeper buses, K24 for medium articulated buses, K25 for medium off-road buses, K31 for small ordinary buses, K32 for small off-road buses, K33 for small buses, K41 for small buses, K42 for small buses, and K43 for small buses. Truck codes starting with "H" include H11 for heavy ordinary trucks, H12 for heavy trucks, H13 for heavy enclosed trucks, H14 for heavy tankers, H15 for heavy flatbed trucks, H16 for heavy container trucks, H17 for heavy dump trucks, H18 for heavy special structure trucks, H21 for medium ordinary trucks, H22 for medium trucks, H23 for medium enclosed trucks, H24 for medium tankers, H25 for medium flatbed trucks, H26 for medium container trucks, H27 for medium dump trucks, H28 for medium special structure trucks, and H31 for light general-purpose trucks. Tractor codes starting with "Q" include Q11 for heavy tractors, Q21 for medium tractors, and Q31 for light tractors. Special operation vehicle codes starting with "Z" include Z11 for large special operation vehicles, Z21 for medium special operation vehicles, Z31 for small special operation vehicles, Z41 for micro special operation vehicles, Z51 for heavy special operation vehicles, and Z71 for light special operation vehicles.

Can the Dash Cam Still Record After the Vehicle Is Turned Off?

Whether the dash cam can continue working after the engine is turned off mainly depends on its power connection method and whether it has a built-in power source. The details are as follows: Connected to the cigarette lighter: If the cigarette lighter remains powered after the engine is turned off, the dash cam will continue working; if the cigarette lighter loses power after the engine is turned off, the dash cam will stop working. Connected to the ACC power: If the vehicle is still in the ACC position when turned off, the dash cam will continue working after the engine is turned off. Built-in power source: The dash cam will continue working after the vehicle is turned off until the built-in battery is depleted.

What to Do If 12 Points Are Deducted from a Driver's License Within the First Year?

A driver's license that is less than one year old is considered to be in the probationary period. If a motor vehicle driver commits road traffic safety violations during this probationary period and accumulates 12 penalty points, the driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked. Here are the main points to note during the probationary period: Special vehicles cannot be driven during the probationary period: During the probationary period, new drivers are not allowed to drive buses, commercial passenger vehicles, police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, engineering rescue vehicles, or vehicles carrying hazardous materials such as explosives, flammable and explosive chemicals, highly toxic substances, or radioactive materials. Additionally, the motor vehicle driven cannot tow a trailer. Cannot drive alone on highways during the probationary period: New drivers cannot drive alone on highways during the probationary period. They must be accompanied by a driver with at least three years of driving experience in the front passenger seat. The accompanying driver should provide guidance to the probationary driver. Failure to have a qualified accompanying driver or not meeting the requirements will result in a fine of 200 yuan. Must display a probationary sign: When driving during the probationary period, a standardized probationary sign issued by the traffic management department must be affixed or hung at the rear of the vehicle.

What is the fuel consumption of the Honda Jade?

20 Honda Jade fuel consumption is 6.9L per 100 kilometers. The factors affecting car fuel consumption are as follows: Engine displacement: Engine displacement has a certain impact on car fuel consumption, but this impact is a fixed value. Tire pressure: Car fuel consumption is also directly related to tire pressure. When the tire pressure is too high or too low, the car's fuel consumption will increase. Driving conditions: The road conditions on which the car is driven will also affect fuel consumption. The combined fuel consumption is calculated by dividing the total emissions of urban and suburban cycles by the total mileage completed in these two cycles, and then using the corresponding emissions to calculate the fuel consumption value.

What is the power output of the 4BD1 engine?

4BD1 engine has a power output of 75KW. Here are the specific details about engine power: 1. Advantages and disadvantages of high-power models: With the same displacement, the higher the power, the better. Some manufacturers use technologies such as intake valve stroke control, EGR, and 5-valve to increase power. High-power models will have higher fuel consumption and increased emissions pollution. 2. Concept: Engine power refers to how fast the engine does work. The engine's power is not equal to the vehicle's power, as there are intermediate losses in mechanical transmission. Designs that thicken and reinforce the body for safety considerations can also lead to a loss of engine power. Therefore, vehicles equipped with small-displacement engines are not necessarily slower or inferior in performance compared to those with high-power engines.
