Go to a car wash shop, take out the floor mats, and use a vacuum cleaner to remove most of the water. Use dry towels alternately placed under the floor mats to absorb water. Continue until all water is absorbed, ensuring the area under the driver's side floor mat is thoroughly dried. Visit a repair shop to use high-pressure air to blow through the pipes and clear any blockages. It is recommended to have the drain pipes under the front windshield checked and cleaned regularly at a repair shop. It might be caused by a leak in a certain part of the car body. Locate the leaking area and repair it. There are many drainage channels or holes in various parts of the car body.

I often deal with this issue because I forget to close the windows on rainy days, and water flows in. First, use an old towel to vigorously absorb the water, being careful not to let it seep into the electronic wiring. After absorbing, completely remove the floor mats and lay them in a ventilated area to dry or use a hair dryer on low heat. Remember to check if the door seals are damaged or if the drainage holes are blocked, otherwise, water will accumulate again during the next heavy rain. When parking, choose a higher spot to reduce water entering the door sill channel, and regularly clean under the floor mats to prevent dust from clogging the drainage holes. Paying attention to these small details will keep you free from water troubles.

Why does the dash cam keep shutting off after a short while?

The dash cam shutting off after a short while is caused by a loose cigarette lighter socket. Here are specific details about dash cams: 1. Definition: The vehicle driving recorder, commonly known as the car black box, is a digital electronic recording device that records and stores information such as vehicle speed, time, mileage, and other driving status data, and can output data through interfaces. 2. Functions: Self-check function - after powering on, the recorder will test each component and interface of the system, and a "beep-" sound will prompt the user that the recorder starts normal operation after passing the self-check; Identity recognition function - drivers use a USB flash drive to verify their identity each time they drive, and the recorder categorizes and saves each driver's driving data; Recording and storage functions for driving time, speed, and mileage - the recorder accurately records and stores the vehicle's driving time, speed, and mileage.

Should Engine Oil Be Checked When Cold or Hot?

Most vehicle models require checking when cold.

Is the first free maintenance still free if it exceeds three months?

If it's only a few days overdue, first call and communicate with the 4S store staff to explain the reason for the delay. Generally, the 4S store staff won't make things difficult for the car owner, and the first maintenance will still be provided for free. However, if the owner exceeds half a month or even a month, they may be directly considered to have forfeited the free first maintenance. Here is additional information: 1. First maintenance indicators: The limits for the first car maintenance include two indicators - time and mileage, whichever comes first. Exceeding either one will generally affect the car's warranty. 2. Reason for first maintenance: New cars require first maintenance because they have a break-in period during which the car experiences certain wear and tear. During the first maintenance, the car undergoes certain inspections to check all its performance aspects and ensure normal operating conditions.

How to Correct the Direction When the Car Body is Tilted?

Adjusting the tilt of the car body can be done as follows: 1. Method: If the car body becomes tilted during reverse parking, first observe the change in the distance between the left rear wheel and the left parking line through the left rearview mirror, and make corresponding adjustments after confirming the change. 2. Precautions: While reversing, always pay attention to the rearview mirrors and control the clutch properly. Visually judge the distance between the car body and the lines on both sides, ensuring both sides are equally wide. If one side is wider, turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction of the wider side, applying gentle force and turning slowly. 3. Principle: Turn the steering wheel towards the wider side.
