Replacing the bumper does not count as an accident vehicle. Below is the extended content: 1. How to accurately define an accident vehicle: Damage to the engine compartment and the driver's cabin. The rear fender of the vehicle body is impacted by more than 1/3. The vehicle's longitudinal beams, shock absorbers, ABS columns show signs of welding, reshaping, cutting, or deformation. Vehicles with deployed airbags. The vehicle body is flooded beyond half of its height, or water enters the driver's cabin. The vehicle body has a fire-affected area exceeding 0.5 square meters, with non-removable parts showing signs of welding, cutting, reshaping, or deformation. 2. How to identify an accident vehicle: First, inquire with the brand's 4S store's after-sales department to check the vehicle's maintenance and repair records. Check with the insurance company to determine if the vehicle has been involved in any accidents. Inspect the wear and tear of the vehicle's interior and check the exterior for any signs of repainting or repairs.

What does the TEMP button in a car mean?

The TEMP button in a car stands for temperature setting. Pressing this corresponding button allows you to adjust the air conditioning temperature. Below is relevant information about the TEMP button: Common locations: TEMP is generally located on the air conditioning control panel. In some models, it may also be found on the rear armrest, indicating control over the rear air conditioning temperature—typically available in models equipped with dual-zone climate control. Some vehicles display TEMP on the dashboard, representing the outside temperature (which may slightly differ from the actual temperature). How to use the TEMP button: If there is a TEMP button in the vehicle's air conditioning operating system, you can use it to adjust the current interior air conditioning temperature. A TEMP button with an upward arrow increases the temperature, while a TEMP button with a downward arrow decreases the temperature.

Should the inner or outer ring of the air pump pressure gauge be read?

Read the inner ring of the air pump pressure gauge, with the normal value ranging from 2.2 to 2.4 bar. The method for checking a car tire pressure gauge is: Align and press the measuring end notch of the tire pressure gauge with the tire valve stem. At this point, the pointer on the tire pressure gauge will deflect, and the indicated value is the inflation pressure of the tire. Alternatively, the gauge's indicator rod will be pushed out under air pressure, and the value displayed on the rod is the tire's inflation pressure. Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Regularly remove stones stuck in the tire treads; 2. Avoid exposing tires to direct sunlight; 3. Frequently check tire pressure by referring to the normal pressure values listed on the inside of the vehicle's fuel tank cap and adjust accordingly; 4. Pay attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Periodically inspect front wheel alignment.

Can Electric Vehicles Be Charged at Charging Stations on Rainy Days?

Electric vehicles can be charged at charging stations on rainy days. The specific reasons are as follows: Waterproof structure: Whether it is an AC or DC charging station, the design of the charging port is very ingenious. The conductive parts of the plug are relatively deep, ensuring not only a tight and reliable connection between the plug and the socket during charging but also preventing scattered rainwater from easily contacting the conductive parts when inserting or removing the charging gun. The scenario of charging vehicles on rainy days was considered during the initial design. Secondly, whether it is an AC or DC charging socket, there is a rubber sealing ring around the interface between the plug and the socket to prevent direct intrusion of rainwater during charging. Electrical design ensures charging safety: Before formal charging begins, during the process of inserting the charging gun into the socket, the charging station checks whether the "charging confirmation terminal" is properly connected to determine if grounding and physical connection are successful. It also uses the "charging control terminal" or "CAN terminal" to control and monitor the charging process. If abnormalities such as insulation faults or leakage currents are detected, the charging station and BMS will promptly interrupt the charging process.

Is it serious if the car didn't stall when driving through water?

There is basically no impact. The following is a related introduction about vehicle wading: Introduction to vehicle wading: As the name suggests, vehicle wading refers to driving through water on low-lying, waterlogged roads. This usually occurs in rainy weather when poor drainage leads to water accumulation in low-lying road sections. Precautions for vehicle wading: Before wading, observe the road conditions carefully; maintain stable power while in water; after wading, check the electrical system. If a car stalls in water, the main reason is water entering the exhaust pipe, and in some cases, there may also be electrical damage. Once the car stalls, do not attempt to restart it, as this may cause water to enter the intake manifold and damage the valves, potentially leading to severe engine damage. Instead, the car should be towed to a 4S shop immediately for professional handling.

How to Solve the Squeaking Noise from Plastic Interior Trim?

Squeaking noise from plastic interior trim can be resolved by: adding a layer of velvet cloth strip in the gaps, installing rubber strips between the dashboard and windshield gap can also reduce some noise. It's important to note that repeated disassembly and reassembly of the interior can also cause squeaking, so first check if there are any loose or fallen wiring harnesses or small parts causing the issue. Below is an introduction about car interior: Definition: Car interior mainly refers to the automotive products used for internal modifications, covering all aspects of the car's interior, such as steering wheel covers, seat cushions, floor mats, car perfumes, hanging accessories, interior decorations, storage boxes, etc. Status: The car interior system is a crucial part of the vehicle body, and the design workload of the interior system accounts for over 60% of the total vehicle styling design workload, far exceeding the exterior design, making it one of the most important parts of the vehicle body.

Will the Car Be Damaged If Water Gets into the Trunk?

Water in the trunk can have a significant impact on the car, and failure to address it promptly may lead to malfunctions. Below is a detailed explanation: Dangers of water entering the trunk: It can easily cause rust in the trunk, and in severe cases, perforation may occur. The spare tire is placed in a lower position inside the trunk, making it prone to water accumulation if water enters. Moisture and water cannot be drained, which can easily cause the car's interior parts to become damp, moldy, or rusty. How to handle water in the trunk: Drain the water as soon as possible. There is a rubber plug at the bottom of the spare tire compartment in the trunk; removing it allows the water to drain. Quickly locate the entry point of the water, check if the trunk lid is deformed, or if the surrounding seals are damaged. Open the lid to ventilate, remove the trunk lining and items inside, and leave the lid open to dry for about an hour to prevent mold and rust.
