From the inner side of the left front tire, remove the tire liner baffle, and through the appropriate space, insert an iron wire to pull the hood release cable, then open it. You can also seek help from professional locksmiths. If it's a disc wheel lock, it's best not to force it open and drive away, as disc wheel locks are usually equipped with spikes.

How often should the rear axle oil be changed?

The rear axle oil should be changed approximately every six months. Below is a relevant introduction to the automotive rear axle: 1. Working principle: The engine transmits power to the transmission, which then transfers it to the large gear plate on the rear axle (differential). The differential is an integrated unit. 2. Function: The front axle and rear axle refer to the parts of the front and rear wheel axles. The front axle includes components such as shock absorber springs, steering gear, and balance shafts, while the rear axle also includes drive shafts and transmission gears. Multi-axle trucks may have both driven rear axles and non-driven rear axles at the rear. A non-driven rear axle does not have a drive shaft connection and is not part of the driving wheels. Generally, only heavy trucks and tractor heads with three or more axles have non-driven rear axles.

How to Achieve Smooth Braking?

Smooth braking methods: Under normal circumstances, drivers should first ease off the accelerator slightly to reduce speed, then apply the brakes gently to achieve smooth braking. Here are some braking techniques: 1. Normal driving: When driving on regular roads, it's necessary to ease off the accelerator slightly when still some distance from the destination, then apply the brakes according to the distance between your car and the vehicle ahead. This not only reduces impact but also saves fuel. 2. Emergency situations: In such cases, you need to press the brake pedal firmly for emergency braking. On wet and slippery roads during rainy days, try to avoid emergency braking as much as possible. Always pay attention to reducing speed and drive cautiously. 3. Downhill: On long downhill sections, avoid continuous braking. Instead, use gear shifting to control the vehicle speed and maintain a steady pace.

How to Repair a Flooded Vehicle?

After a vehicle is flooded, the repair approach should be analyzed based on the specific situation: 1. The vehicle is slightly flooded but can start normally: If the vehicle can still start normally, it indicates that the flooding situation is relatively mild. It is necessary to remove and reinstall the seats and carpets for cleaning and drying, and check the conventional maintenance items such as fluids. 2. The vehicle is severely flooded, and it is uncertain whether it can start normally: Since the vehicle is severely flooded and commercial insurance is purchased, the claim should be processed before repair. Immediately notify the insurance company to conduct an on-site inspection, and after the inspection, tow the vehicle out of the water as soon as possible. During this process, the engine should not be started. Finally, proceed with the repair.
