There are many methods to distinguish imported cars from domestic cars. Below is a detailed introduction to domestic and imported cars: 1. Identification methods: Some brand models do not have domestic versions, such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, etc. For the same model, check the rear of the car—those with Chinese characters are domestic, while those with English are imported. Look at the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which is a 17-digit code. Vehicles whose VIN does not start with the letter 'L' are all imported. 2. Configuration differences: Some cars retain only the same exterior and interior design when produced domestically, while simplifying some less visible components. This is more common in lower-priced cars to reduce costs. For example, replacing lenses and xenon headlights with halogen ones, reducing hardware specifications, changing aluminum parts in the chassis to cast iron, and canceling S-line sport packages, etc.

What is the reason why the Wuling Hongguang mini's hazard lights cannot be turned off?

There are two main reasons why the car's hazard lights keep flashing and cannot be turned off: Computer control board issue: After removing the hazard light fuse, the car's hazard lights will stop flashing and will not affect the normal use of the turn signals or the car's locking function. However, removing the fuse also means the hazard lights cannot be used afterward. Therefore, after removing the fuse, it is best to take the car to a nearby repair shop to inspect and fix the hazard lights. Relay failure: If the hazard lights cannot be turned off, it might also be due to a faulty control box. You can use a multimeter to test the output line of the hazard light relay. If there is an intermittent 12V voltage change output, it indicates normal operation. Otherwise, if there is a constant 12V output or no output at all, it means the hazard light relay is faulty. In such cases, it is best to visit a 4S shop and have the repair personnel replace or repair the relay.

What is the reason why the sliding door of Wuling Rongguang cannot be opened?

Will the insurance company compensate if the car is parked on the roadside and flooded?

If the car is parked on the roadside and flooded, the insurance company will compensate. However, without purchasing water damage insurance, the insurance company will only cover the car's losses other than the engine. After the car is flooded, the following issues may arise: 1. Mold and corrosion in channels: There are many channels in a car, which are difficult to clean after being flooded and may develop mold and rust over time, such as the inner side of door panels, air conditioning ducts, and some structural cavities. Additionally, areas like the crankcase and differential have exhaust holes. 2. Bearing deterioration: The grease in the car's wheel bearings and half-shafts may quickly degrade when soaked in water. 3. Damage to electronic equipment: Electronic parking brakes, audio systems, and some sensors may leave hidden dangers if not repaired promptly after being soaked. 4. The car may be scrapped: The most severe situation is when water enters the intake tract and the engine is forcibly started, potentially bending or breaking the connecting rods, leading to the car being scrapped.
