New energy vehicles may not be significantly affected by minor water ingress, but large-scale water submersion could potentially render even pure electric vehicles inoperable. Below is some information regarding water submersion in new energy vehicles: 1. Causes of Damage: This is primarily because electric vehicles have numerous circuits and key components such as batteries, drive motors, and controllers that are susceptible to water damage. Even with excellent waterproofing features, prolonged submersion is not advisable. 2. Precautions: Pure electric vehicles are well-constructed and designed with reasonable layouts, featuring protective devices between circuits. Most importantly, they use lithium batteries. In the event of the aforementioned issue, the driver is unlikely to suffer significant harm. However, in cases of large-scale or prolonged water ingress, it is difficult to guarantee that electric shock accidents will not occur.

Where is the steering wheel adjustment switch?

The steering wheel adjustment switch is located directly below the steering wheel. There is a switch that resembles a handle in shape. Pull it up to adjust the steering wheel, and push it down to lock it after adjustment. Steering wheel adjustment can be divided into vertical and horizontal adjustments. Vertical adjustment refers to adjusting the vertical distance of the steering wheel to meet the needs of drivers of different heights for the space between the steering wheel and themselves. Horizontal adjustment refers to adjusting the length along the axis of the steering wheel, allowing the driver to maintain a comfortable legroom by adjusting the distance between the seat and the steering wheel while also ensuring comfort in the vertical direction of the steering wheel.

Where is the car air conditioning drain located?

Car air conditioning drain is located at the bottom of the evaporator box, connected to the chassis through a hose. When the car air conditioning drain is blocked, water will enter the footwell on the passenger side through the connection and soak the floor mat. The function of the air conditioning drain is: during air conditioning use, the evaporator box continuously absorbs heat from the surrounding air, causing moisture to condense into water, which is then discharged through the air conditioning drain. The condensed water from the car air conditioning is produced during the cooling process, and the condensation pipe is located below the chassis. Other drainage outlets on the car include: 1. Engine compartment drain hole; 2. Sunroof drain hole; 3. Fuel tank cap drain hole; 4. Door drain hole; 5. Trunk drain hole.
