A car stalling in water does not count as a flood-damaged vehicle. Here are specific details about flood-damaged vehicles: 1. Definition: A flood-damaged vehicle refers to a car that has been submerged in water, typically meaning the engine and transmission have been waterlogged, with the immersion depth exceeding the wheels and vehicle seats, and the bottom components of the vehicle being in prolonged contact with water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as their electrical systems are prone to short circuits and even fires. 2. Hazards: These include the engine suddenly stalling during high-speed driving, airbags failing to deploy in critical moments or deploying without reason, etc. Although such vehicles may be cheap, they present serious safety hazards during daily operation. Therefore, consumers are strongly advised against purchasing 'flood-damaged vehicles' just to save money.

What does the HOLD button in a car mean?

Car HOLD button refers to the automatic parking function, usually marked as AUTOHOLD on the car. Automatic parking is currently a very popular practical function that can replace the handbrake during temporary stops. Generally, only models equipped with electronic handbrakes will have the automatic parking system. Automatic parking can release the feet and relieve the fatigue caused by stepping on the brake for a long time when parking. Usually, automatic parking is also used in conjunction with the automatic start-stop function. How to use the car's HOLD function: When the driver has fastened the seat belt and the driver's side door is closed, the engine is running, press the automatic parking switch, and the automatic parking function changes from off to standby state. When the brake pedal is pressed to a certain depth and the vehicle has completely stopped, the automatic parking function changes from standby to parking state. When the automatic parking is in the parking state, after shifting to the corresponding forward gear or reverse gear, stepping on the accelerator pedal, the automatic parking will be automatically released according to the slope size. For the automatic parking function, it can reduce the driving intensity for the driver when driving on the road, and also avoid the phenomenon of the vehicle slipping after stopping. This function can be kept on all the time, and it has no impact on the vehicle itself.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Xiali N5 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Xiali N5 is 37 liters, as officially announced. The Xiali N5 uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 5.6-5.8L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 637-660km. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow the fuel to expand when the temperature rises without overflowing the tank. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
