There will be an impact once the car chassis is submerged to the point of accumulating water, but there is no fixed time frame because the drainage efficiency varies among different vehicles. Effects: Generally, water entering the chassis does not cause significant issues. However, if the water level rises above half of the tire, it is important to brake first after exiting the water to drain the moisture and prevent any impact on braking performance. Chassis Water Accumulation: While there is always a possibility of water entering the chassis, cars are designed to drain water on their own. If water accumulates, it is necessary to clean the chassis. During the cleaning process, special attention should be paid to rust prevention, as accumulated water is most likely to cause rusting.

What to Do If a Sedan Frequently Scrapes Its Undercarriage?

Solutions for frequent undercarriage scraping in sedans: 1. Observe road conditions and the movements of vehicles ahead, maintain sufficient distance to ensure enough space to avoid potholes after the front vehicle passes over them or swerves. If there's no time to react, try to slow down as much as possible to minimize damage to tires and suspension. 2. Approach inclines diagonally, allowing one front wheel to contact the base or crest of the slope first. 3. Stay vigilant while driving, spotting obstacles early to slow down and steer around them—never risk driving over them. 4. Install an engine guard to protect against impacts from road debris and scrapes from foreign objects. 5. Apply an undercoating to the vehicle's chassis for comprehensive protection.

Why does the electric car screen display a motor fault?

It is necessary to check whether the motor has any accidents and whether the motor insulation is normal. Here are the basic principles of pure electric vehicles: 1. Working principle of electric vehicles: battery—current—power regulator—motor—power transmission system—driving the car. 2. Technical principle: Pure electric vehicles use motors instead of fuel engines, which is equivalent to an automatic transmission. Traditional internal combustion engines can limit the speed at which they efficiently generate torque to a narrow range, which is why traditional internal combustion engine vehicles require large and complex transmission mechanisms; during the driving process of pure electric vehicles, there is no need for gear shifting devices, making operation convenient and easy. Compared with hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles use a single electric energy source, and the electronic control system greatly reduces the internal mechanical transmission system of the car, also reducing energy loss and noise caused by friction of mechanical components, saving internal space and weight of the car.

Is it necessary to go to a 4S shop for damage assessment?

It is not necessary to go to a 4S shop for damage assessment; you can also go to a damage assessment center. Here are the specific details about damage assessment: 1. Required materials: Motor vehicle insurance claim and claim notice. Copies of the vehicle license and driver's license. Original and copies of the motor vehicle insurance policy and endorsement. Receipt for compensation. 2. Method: All vehicle losses caused by an insurance accident must be assessed by the insurance company before repair (damage assessment can be conducted at a repair shop or 4S shop designated by the insurance company, or at a qualified shop with damage assessment capabilities, but it must be ensured that all three parties are present) to determine the loss items and amount; only after the damage assessment is completed can the damaged vehicle be repaired; compensation paid to a third party for personal or property damage must also be assessed by the insurance company to determine the compensation items, relevant evidence, and amount before settlement.

Will the 13-Year Mandatory Scrapping Policy for Motorcycles Be Abolished?

As of now, there have been no changes to the regulations regarding motorcycle scrapping. Below is relevant information about motorcycles: Motorcycle Service Life: According to regulations, the service life of a three-wheeled motorcycle is 12 years, while other motorcycles have a mandatory scrapping period of 13 years. The relevant authorities have established these service life regulations based on local conditions, with the former not less than 10 years and the latter not less than 11 years. This means the scrapping period for three-wheeled motorcycles ranges from 10 to 12 years, and for other motorcycles, it ranges from 11 to 13 years. Motorcycle Annual Inspection Notes: According to traffic laws, motorcycles are exempt from on-site inspections for the first 6 years, followed by annual inspections thereafter, with mandatory scrapping at 13 years. If a motorcycle fails to undergo inspection for three consecutive cycles, it must be mandatorily scrapped.
