Generally, hail does not damage cars, but large hailstones may break the windshield. Hail damage is covered under the auto insurance's comprehensive coverage. If your vehicle is damaged by hail, you can call the insurance company's hotline to file a claim. Steps to claim insurance for hail damage: 1. Report to the insurance company. If all required documents are complete, you can report the incident within 24 hours. Provide details such as the vehicle's parking location, the person who parked it, and the weather conditions. 2. After reporting, undergo inspection and damage assessment. The insurance company will arrange for an inspector to contact you and conduct an on-site inspection. The inspector will take photos of the damage. 3. Required documents. During the inspection, you need to provide the owner's ID card, vehicle registration certificate, driver's license (both original and copy), and the owner's bank card. Ensure all documents are valid.

What do the S gear and L gear mean respectively?

S gear and L gear respectively mean: S gear is the sport mode; L gear is the low-speed gear. The gears of an automatic transmission include: 1. P (Parking gear), the starting gear; 2. R (Reverse gear); 3. N (Neutral gear); 4. D (Drive gear); 5. OD (Overdrive gear). The correct way to use an automatic transmission is: 1. Never shift into P gear while driving; 2. After driving, you must turn off the engine and shift into P gear before you can remove the key; 3. When switching between N, D, and 3rd gear, you do not need to press the shift button. However, shifting from 3rd gear down to lower restricted gears requires pressing the shift button, while shifting from lower gears to higher gears does not require pressing the shift button; 4. Do not shift into N gear to coast while driving; 5. The vehicle can only be started in P or N gear. To remove the gear lever from P gear, you must press the brake. Turn on the power, press the brake, and shift to N gear. After ignition, shift into D gear to drive forward directly.

What are the causes of high voltage in the P0132 oxygen sensor circuit?

p0132 oxygen sensor circuit voltage is high due to: 1. Short circuit in the oxygen sensor signal circuit; 2. Faulty oxygen sensor itself; 3. Faulty electronic control module. Function of the oxygen sensor: Measure the oxygen content in the engine exhaust to adjust the fuel injection amount, thereby enabling the engine to achieve the ideal air-fuel ratio. Working principle of the oxygen sensor: Use ceramic sensitive elements to measure the oxygen potential in the automobile exhaust pipe, calculate the corresponding oxygen concentration based on the chemical equilibrium principle, to monitor and control the combustion air-fuel ratio, ensuring product quality and compliance with exhaust emission standards. Solutions for high voltage in the P0132 oxygen sensor circuit: 1. Inspect the wiring harness of the pre-catalytic converter oxygen sensor; 2. Replace the pre-catalytic converter oxygen sensor; 3. Replace the engine control module.

What does 0W30 engine oil mean?

0W30 engine oil is an oil grade, where 0W indicates that the minimum applicable temperature of the oil is -35 degrees Celsius, and 30 represents the high-temperature viscosity of the oil. The larger the number, the wider the applicable temperature range. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To separate the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear; 2. To bring heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air to help the radiator cool the engine; 3. To circulate carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank, washing away dirt generated on the working surfaces of the parts through the flow of the lubricating oil. The impact of using inferior engine oil is: gum and incompletely burned substances will accumulate on the valves, intake passages, and combustion chambers, affecting the engine's operation and causing engine damage.

What does the P0122 fault code mean?

P0122 fault code refers to a throttle or accelerator pedal position sensor malfunction. The methods to clear the P0122 fault code are: 1. Clean the throttle body; 2. Inspect and repair the accelerator pedal sensor's connector for looseness and check if the wiring is aged or disconnected. Precautions and methods for cleaning the throttle body are: 1. Do not use highly corrosive cleaning agents, and be careful with the cleaning force to avoid damaging the coating; 2. Remove the intake hose to expose the throttle body, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, turn off the ignition switch, straighten the throttle plate, spray a small amount of carburetor cleaner into the throttle body, then carefully wipe with a polyester cloth or high-count non-woven fabric. For hard-to-reach areas inside the throttle body, use a clip to hold the cloth for careful cleaning.

Do you need to press the brake when shifting from N to D?

You need to press the brake when shifting from N to D, and also when shifting from P to other gears. Introduction to automatic transmission gears: 1. P stands for Park, used for long-term parking; 2. R stands for Reverse, engaged when the vehicle needs to move backward; 3. N stands for Neutral, engaged when the vehicle is parked for a short time without turning off the engine; 4. D stands for Drive, when the gear lever is in D, the vehicle will automatically shift gears based on throttle opening and speed data; 5. S stands for Sport mode, making the vehicle more sporty to drive; 6. M stands for Manual mode, when the gear lever is in M, gear shifting is done manually by the driver; 7. L stands for Low gear.
