Water reaching the seat level does affect a small car. Here are specific impacts after a vehicle is waterlogged: 1. Component rust: Water immersion can easily cause body components to rust, shortening the vehicle's lifespan and reducing safety performance. 2. Short-circuit stalling: Waterlogged vehicles may experience wire corrosion and rusting, leading to sudden stalling or spontaneous combustion due to short circuits while driving. 3. Expensive repairs: The repair costs for water-damaged vehicles are extremely high. In cases of severe water intrusion, repair expenses may exceed 50% of the vehicle's original value.

Where is the 'He' license plate from?

There are no license plates in China that start with the character 'He'. The first Chinese character on a license plate represents the province or municipality directly under the central government, and the letter following the first character represents the city or district. Generally, by looking at the first Chinese character and the subsequent letter on a license plate, you can determine where the vehicle is registered. A license plate is a mandatory requirement for every car to legally operate on the road. Driving without a license plate is considered illegal. Here is some relevant information about license plates: 1. There are formal license plates and temporary license plates. 2. Temporary license plates are made of paper and do not need to be fixed to the front and rear of the vehicle. However, temporary license plates must be affixed to the inside of the front and rear windshields. Failure to adhere to this regulation is equivalent to driving without a license. Temporary license plates have an expiration date, and driving with an expired temporary license plate is also considered driving without a license. Therefore, when using a temporary license plate, it's important to note that you should not continue driving if it has expired. 2. Formal license plates are made of metal and must be fixed to the front and rear of the vehicle. Formal license plates come in different colors, and different types of vehicles require different colored formal license plates. The most common colors for license plates are blue, green, and yellow. Most large buses and trucks use yellow license plates, while most ordinary household cars use blue or green license plates. Green license plates are used for new energy vehicles, which include pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

Vehicles over 6 years old must undergo annual inspection, which is the normal annual inspection. The relevant provisions of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" are expanded as follows: Article 16: Motor vehicles shall undergo safety technical inspections according to the following periods from the date of registration: 1. Passenger vehicles for operational use shall be inspected once a year within 5 years; passenger vehicles for operational use over 5 years old shall be inspected once every 6 months. 2. Trucks and large, medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles shall be inspected once a year within 10 years; non-operational passenger vehicles over 10 years old shall be inspected once every 6 months. 3. Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles shall be inspected once every 2 years within 6 years; those over 6 years old shall be inspected once a year; those over 15 years old shall be inspected once every 6 months. 4. Motorcycles shall be inspected once every 2 years within 4 years; those over 4 years old shall be inspected once a year. 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles shall be inspected once a year. Operational motor vehicles that pass the safety technical inspection within the specified inspection period shall not undergo repeated safety technical inspections. 6. Vehicles that exceed the scrapping age cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but can continue to be used; for transactions, the vehicle's scrapping certificate (canceling the vehicle's file) can be processed at the vehicle management office first, and then the transaction can proceed.

What does Volkswagen DSG mean?

Volkswagen DSG refers to the Direct-Shift Gearbox of the Volkswagen brand, also known as the S-Tronic transmission or Dual-clutch Gearbox (Double-clutch-Gearbox). Its unique feature is that it shifts faster than other transmissions, delivers greater torque, and operates more efficiently. Here is relevant information about DSG: 1. DSG (Direct-Shift-Gearbox) literally means "Direct-Shift Gearbox" in Chinese. DSG differs from conventional semi-automatic transmission systems as it is based on a manual transmission rather than an automatic one, making it a member of AMT (Automated Manual Transmission). 2. DSG can shift gears either manually or automatically. It is easier to control than traditional automatic transmissions, can transmit more power, and responds faster than manual transmissions. DSG evolved from the Sequential Manual Transmission (SMT). 3. The DSG transmission is the world's most advanced and revolutionary transmission system, first unveiled to the world in Wolfsburg, Germany. DSG can shift gears manually or automatically, is easier to control than conventional automatic transmissions, delivers more power, and responds quicker than manual transmissions. 4. DSG design originates from motorsports, with practical applications dating back to the early 1980s Porsche 962C and 1985 Audi RC race cars, contributing significantly to Volkswagen's multiple championship victories.

What are the differences between electric vehicles and traditional cars?

Electric vehicles and traditional cars differ in the following aspects: 1. Different power systems: Electric vehicles use greener electric energy; traditional cars use diesel or gasoline. 2. Different structures: The structure of electric vehicles is much simpler than that of traditional cars, requiring only some wires to be arranged around the body for power supply; traditional cars require many parts to be combined. 3. Different energy supply systems: Electric vehicles use batteries as energy sources, driven by electric motors and equipped with speed controllers for speed regulation; traditional cars use petroleum products as energy sources, generating power by burning in internal combustion engines and achieving drive control through transmissions.

How to Distinguish Between the Brake and Accelerator Pedals in an Automatic Transmission Car?

In automatic transmission models, located below the driver's seat and the console from left to right are the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, both controlled solely by the right foot. The gear shift is positioned to the right side in front of the center armrest. This design primarily aims to place the more frequently used accelerator pedal on the outer side of the right foot, which is a more comfortable posture for the human body. The brake pedal is set on the inner side of the right foot and is slightly higher than the accelerator pedal. The accelerator and brake pedals are the most commonly used pedals when driving a car. The accelerator pedal does not directly control the fuel injection volume. Instead, it controls the throttle valve's opening. Pressing the accelerator pedal increases the throttle valve's opening. At this point, the ECU, upon detecting more air entering the engine, instructs the fuel injection system to inject more fuel. A vacuum booster pump is connected behind the brake pedal. When the brake pedal is pressed, the vacuum booster pump provides assistance, making it easier for the driver to depress the brake pedal. When the brake pedal is pressed, the master cylinder pushes the slave cylinder through the brake fluid. The slave cylinder's piston then presses the brake pads against the brake disc, converting kinetic energy into heat energy and slowing down the car. Brake fluid needs to be replaced periodically as it is prone to absorbing moisture. Excessive water content in the brake fluid can reduce braking force and extend the braking distance.
