Car owners should pay attention to accurately describing the accident process and damage situation. Below is an introduction on how to report a claim after a car accident: Process: After an accident occurs, the car owner should first call the police. After the law enforcement department determines liability, they should then call the insurance company's claim reporting hotline to report the incident. If it is a single-vehicle accident, the claim reporting hotline should be called promptly. Reporting: When reporting the claim, the car owner should also pay attention to accurately describing the accident process and damage situation. When purchasing insurance, it is important to choose experienced and responsible professionals or professional institutions, rather than opting for the cheapest option, as this can leave one passive and unsure of what to do in the event of an accident.

When my car is involved in an accident, I always prioritize safety first: park the car and turn on the hazard lights. If anyone is injured, I immediately call 120 for help, then dial 122 to report the accident and describe the details. Next, I report the incident to my insurance company—I usually use the mobile app for quick submission, providing the time, location, who hit whom, and the damage details. I always keep my policy number handy for easy reporting. Taking photos for evidence is crucial—I capture the full scene, damage areas of both vehicles, the other party’s documents like their driver’s license and license plate number, and also note down their name, phone number, and insurance company to avoid future disputes. I always keep a backup of the police report receipt and submit it to the insurance company for follow-up damage assessment and repairs. Sometimes, minor accidents can be settled privately, but reporting them is safer to avoid future issues. Remember, stay calm throughout the process and wait for the insurance company to handle everything—that’s when you can truly feel at ease.

Is it okay to spend the night in the car with the sunroof open?

It is possible to spend the night in the car with the sunroof open, but it is generally not recommended. Here are the relevant details: 1. Precautions: When sleeping in the car at night, it is essential to ensure proper ventilation by opening the windows slightly. Since the car interior is sealed, failing to ventilate can easily lead to oxygen deprivation. However, the windows should not be opened too wide—just a small gap is sufficient. Be cautious to prevent cold air from entering, which could cause cold symptoms. 2. Hazards: Sleeping in the car is not advisable because the confined space can lead to muscle fatigue more easily, and in severe cases, it may even cause muscle strain.

What is the pure electric range of the Li ONE?

The Li ONE is equipped with a 40.5kWh battery, offering an NEDC pure electric range of 180 kilometers. Below are some relevant details about the Li ONE: 1. Exterior and Interior: Among many mid-to-large-sized SUVs, the design features of the Li ONE are quite distinctive. Even by today's aesthetic standards, the Li ONE's star-ring headlights, full-width taillights, and quad-screen center console layout do not seem outdated. Instead, they have become design elements borrowed by many other models. Perhaps because of this, the 2021 Li ONE did not make significant changes to the vehicle's exterior and interior styling, focusing more on optimizing details. 2. Configuration: The 2021 Li ONE features new seat cushion foam for a more comfortable ride. Additionally, the 2021 Li ONE upgrades the electric seat lumbar support and adds second-row electric seat lumbar support, as well as lumbar massage functions for both the first and second-row seats.

Under What Circumstances Is the Chassis Prone to Rusting?

The chassis is most susceptible to rust when exposed to air or when covered with water and mud. The car chassis, often exposed to air, is quite prone to oxidation-reduction reactions. If not in contact with air, the car chassis may not necessarily rust. Some car owners install chassis armor to protect the chassis. Chassis armor is a protective device primarily used to safeguard the car's chassis from damage. Additional Information: 1. While driving on poor road conditions, it is inevitable for some mud to adhere to the car's undercarriage. The mud gradually accumulates on the chassis and, through contact with the metal chassis, slowly corrodes it, eventually leading to rust. 2. To prevent this situation, it is essential to install chassis armor. However, the requirements for armor treatment are quite high, and improper handling can have side effects. Therefore, it is best to choose a professional repair shop for the operation.
