Yes. Insurance companies normally cover engine stalling due to water submersion, but they will not compensate if the vehicle is restarted after stalling. Condition 1 for Water Damage Insurance Coverage: During heavy rain or flooding, if the insured vehicle's exhaust pipe or intake pipe is submerged in water, and the driver continues to start the vehicle or attempts to start it by inertia. Condition 2 for Water Damage Insurance Coverage: Starting the vehicle without necessary repairs after experiencing heavy rain or flooding. Condition 3 for Water Damage Insurance Coverage: In the event of an incident covered under the additional insurance, the insurer will compensate for necessary and reasonable expenses incurred by the insured or their representative for rescue and protective measures to minimize the vehicle's loss. The maximum compensation amount for such expenses is limited to the insured amount under the vehicle loss insurance.

How to Control the Throttle Properly?

When controlling the throttle, use the right heel placed on the floor of the driver's compartment as a pivot point, gently press the ball of the foot on the accelerator pedal, and use the flexion and extension of the ankle joint to press down or release. Notes: 1. Apply force gently when pressing or releasing the accelerator pedal, ensuring a smooth and gradual action. 2. Select the appropriate gear to keep the engine running mostly at medium speed and with moderate throttle opening to save fuel. 3. Releasing the clutch should be closely coordinated with pressing the accelerator, ensuring agile movements. 4. Before stopping the car or turning off the engine, first release the accelerator pedal; avoid revving the engine abruptly in neutral.

Why is the average fuel consumption not displayed on the Buick LaCrosse?

Abnormal fuel gauge display in cars is generally caused by issues such as a faulty fuel level sensor (fuel level display sensor) or a short circuit in the fuel gauge wiring. The specific reasons are detailed below: Faulty fuel level sensor: The fuel gauge uses a fuel level sensor to detect the fuel level. If the detection signal is distorted, such problems can occur. Some fuel level displays are controlled by the car's computer, and if the computer signal malfunctions, it may also lead to inaccurate display, though this is rare. A malfunctioning gauge pointer can also result in inaccurate readings. Short circuit in fuel gauge wiring: If the fuel level sensor is functioning properly, the issue may lie in the fuel gauge wiring on the dashboard. In this case, the dashboard should be removed, and a multimeter and a needle should be used to locate and test the corresponding fuel gauge wiring on the dashboard.

What Causes Loud Brake Noise When Reversing?

The reason for loud brake noise when reversing is: Brakes primarily operate during forward vehicle motion, causing prolonged unidirectional wear on the brake pads. This creates burrs on the reverse side, which produce abnormal sounds when rubbing against the brake disc during reverse braking. This issue can be resolved by removing and smoothing the brake pads or replacing them with higher-quality ones. More details are as follows: 1. The automotive brake system, also known as the automotive braking system, functions to: forcibly decelerate or stop moving vehicles as required by the driver; maintain stationary vehicles on various road conditions (including slopes); and stabilize speed during downhill driving. 2. Currently, most domestic automakers use front-disc-rear-drum brake systems for small and medium-sized production vehicles, with some models featuring four-wheel disc brakes. Compared to drum brakes, disc brakes are more technologically advanced, lighter in weight, and offer superior heat dissipation, braking performance, and adaptability to complex weather and road conditions.
