Here are the methods to handle rainwater entering the car: 1. If a small amount of water enters, it indicates minimal impact. Avoid turning on any electronic devices inside the car to prevent short circuits caused by water exposure. Use the key to open the car door, and if it's still raining, cover the vehicle with an umbrella or waterproof cloth. Then, proceed directly to a 4S shop for drying treatment. 2. If rainwater has seeped into the carpets or floor mats, remove them for cleaning and air-drying. Additionally, perform a thorough disinfection inside the car to prevent lingering odors. Important notes: 1. Wet seats may develop mold; avoid using a hot air blower to dry them. If the seats have a heating function, you can use it to speed up water evaporation. After air-drying, apply a leather cleaner and polish. For sponge seats, you can dismantle them entirely to air-dry the inner sponge. 2. Do not fully immerse the carpets in water for scrubbing, as this can damage the adhesive layers between different materials inside the carpets and prolong the drying time, affecting their usability and causing dampness inside the car.

What is the role of seat belts during a vehicle collision?

During a vehicle collision, the role of seat belts is to reduce the likelihood of death or serious injury in traffic accidents by minimizing the secondary impact forces that pose internal collision risks. They ensure proper occupant positioning to maximize the effectiveness of airbags and prevent occupants from being ejected from the vehicle or experiencing rollover. Seat belts are a vehicle safety device designed to protect occupants from harmful movements caused by collisions or sudden stops. The correct way to use a seat belt is: 1. First, adjust the height of the seat belt. If it is too high, it may tighten around the neck during an emergency, and if it is too low, it may not fully restrain the body from moving forward. 2. After fastening the seat belt, it should not be too loose or too tight—approximately leaving space for two fingers ensures safety without causing discomfort.

With reasonable usage, the battery of a new energy vehicle can last for 8 years. After 8 years, the battery needs to be replaced. The lifespan of a new energy vehicle's battery is not a fixed value; different battery models will have varying service lives. Precautions for new energy vehicles: 1. Before daily use, check the vehicle's battery level and performance, such as braking performance. Ensure that commonly used configurations are functioning properly and that there are no faults before driving; 2.

How can beginners judge the width of the car when parking?

Methods for beginners to judge the width of the car when parking: You can use some reference points, such as the raised points on the car's wipers and the lines on the road. When the raised point of the left wiper coincides with the line on the road, the left tire will press on the line on the ground. Similarly, when the raised point of the right wiper coincides with the line on the ground, the right tire will press on the line on the ground. Driving safety comes first, and you should not have a 'give it a try' mentality. If driving in poor road conditions, be sure to get out of the car and check to ensure safety before proceeding. Try to keep the left side of the car close to obstacles, as it is very easy to observe the position of the left side of the car.
