If the flood-damaged vehicle has not been submerged too deeply, there is no need to worry excessively. However, if the submersion is deep, do not start the car, as this can quickly cause damage. Below are some key points about flood-damaged vehicles: 1. Severity: The severity of a flood-damaged vehicle depends on the height of the water submersion and whether the vehicle was started while submerged. 2. Below the Seats: If the water only reached below the seats, this height is still below the vehicle's air intake, as well as the fuse box and dashboard. After thorough cleaning, the impact on the vehicle is relatively minor. 3. Cleaning: During the cleaning process, it is necessary to replace the transmission fluid, engine oil, and brake fluid, as well as perform maintenance on the vehicle's braking system, exhaust pipe, and catalytic converter. This can further reduce the long-term effects of water damage on the vehicle's performance.

Does Insurance Follow the Car During Transfer?

When a car is transferred, the insurance typically follows the vehicle. Generally, for a used car being transferred, the original insurance is still valid. After completing the transfer process, the new owner must update the registration certificate with their information and obtain new license plates and the vehicle registration booklet. Both parties can then proceed to transfer the insurance. Below is an introduction to the used car transfer process: 1. Insurance Transfer: Transferring insurance for a used car does not incur any fees, and the required documents are relatively simple. Both the buyer and seller should visit the insurance company with the original policy, vehicle registration certificate, and the transfer invoice, among other documents. The vehicle itself does not need to be brought to the insurance company. After submitting the documents, the insurance company will review them on the spot and issue an endorsement to complete the insurance transfer. 2. Cross-Region Transactions: Transferring a used car across regions can be more complicated. After the vehicle is transferred to the buyer, the buyer is not obligated to transfer the original owner's insurance. They may choose to cancel the original insurance, but the compulsory traffic insurance (which can also be canceled and reissued after obtaining local license plates) must be retained.

What is the tire model of the Compass?

The tire specification of the Compass is: 225/60R17. The tire model is printed on the sidewall. Since some models may have different front and rear tire specifications, it is best to confirm both front and rear tire specifications before replacing tires. Representation of car tire specifications: The international standard tire code represents the width and aspect ratio of the tire section in millimeters, followed by the tire model, size, load index, speed code, etc. Meaning of tire letters: If the side of the tire has an "X", it indicates that the tire is a high-pressure tire; "R" and "Z" indicate radial tires; "-" indicates low-pressure tires. Generally, family cars choose radial tires. After improvement, radial tires have also achieved tubeless designs. When a vehicle uses this type of tire, it is less likely to accumulate heat during high-speed driving. If the tire is punctured, the air leaks slowly, allowing the vehicle to continue driving for a period of time.

Where to Complain About New Car Problems?

There are several ways to complain about car problems: car 4S stores, car manufacturers, industrial and commercial law enforcement departments, media, and car quality websites. The specific complaint methods are as follows: 1. You can first complain to the local 4S store and request a negotiated solution. Generally, 4S stores will repair the car immediately when encountering quality issues. If the car owner does not want to repair the car, they can negotiate for a replacement. If all else fails, they can request a refund. 2. If the 4S store cannot resolve the issue through negotiation, you can directly complain to the car manufacturer. Usually, the car manufacturer will contact the 4S store to resolve the issue or have the manufacturer's after-sales service department handle it. 3. You can complain to the local industrial and commercial department and explain the situation to the consumer association to report car quality issues. You can also choose local media outlets, newspapers, TV stations, etc. Media often pay attention to such quality issues. 4. For general car quality problems, you can choose a car quality website to file a complaint and expose the issue through online channels.

Where is the fuse box located in the Jeep Compass?

The fuse box of the Jeep Compass is located under the left side of the driver's seat. If any electrical equipment stops working during use, it may be due to a blown fuse and should be replaced promptly. When replacing, first turn off the ignition switch and open the fuse box cover, then replace the fuse. Fuse replacement method: To remove a fuse in the Jeep Compass, you do not need to pull it out directly by hand. Each fuse box is equipped with tweezers for removing fuses. Both ends of the tweezers can be used to remove large and small fuses. Use the extraction tool to remove the fuse and install a new one. Precautions for replacing fuses: Replace the fuse according to the rated current value indicated on the fuse box cover. If the new fuse blows immediately, it indicates that there may be a fault in the circuit system, and it should be repaired as soon as possible. In the absence of a spare fuse, a temporary replacement can be used in an emergency. If a fuse with the same current load cannot be found, a fuse with a lower rated current than the original can be used as a substitute.
