Will Electric Cars Get Water Inside on Rainy Days?

When it rains heavily, there is a lot of water around the charging port, posing a risk of water entering the charging port. Here are some signs of electric vehicle malfunctions after being exposed to rain: Unidentified sounds: After turning on the electric vehicle's key, the horn may continuously sound, such as the automatic alarm constantly beeping, or there may be internal rattling noises while driving. These issues may be caused by the electric vehicle getting wet in the rain. If this happens, make sure to avoid further exposure to rain and instead place the vehicle in sunlight or a well-ventilated, dry area to let the water evaporate. Automatic movement: Some electric vehicles may start moving automatically after being exposed to rain once the key is turned on, or they may intermittently move forward and stop while driving. This is due to water causing power system malfunctions. In such cases, it is best to stop riding immediately and let the vehicle dry in a dry place. If the issue persists, take it to a repair shop. Battery exposure to rain: Depending on the type of electric vehicle, the battery's location varies—some are protected under the seat, while others are exposed externally. If an external battery gets wet, it may lead to water ingress or even short-circuiting, significantly reducing the battery's lifespan. Therefore, if you cannot park the electric vehicle indoors during rainy days, it is advisable to cover key parts such as the battery and the front of the vehicle to protect them.

How to Force Release the EPB on the All-New Santa Fe?

The method to force release the EPB on the All-New Santa Fe: The EPB is the electronic parking brake system, also known as the electronic handbrake. If there is a malfunction, it is likely that the electronic handbrake has failed. First, determine if it is indeed a malfunction. If the fault light is on, press the foot brake down while simultaneously pressing the handbrake button, hold for about 20 seconds, then lift the handbrake, and it should return to normal. Reasons why the EPB light is on in the All-New Santa Fe: Since electronic handbrake malfunctions can be caused by issues with components such as the wheel speed sensor, throttle position sensor, handbrake switch, wheel speed sensor, motor, etc., any abnormality in these parts could trigger the EPB light. Therefore, it is recommended that the owner take the vehicle to a repair shop for inspection. A fault diagnostic tool can quickly and accurately identify the source of the problem. Precautions when the EPB malfunctions: When the EPB malfunctions, it is advisable for the owner to go directly to a professional auto repair shop for inspection and repair. Avoid attempting to fix it yourself, as improper handling at any step could lead to issues with the vehicle's braking system, with potentially serious consequences.

What types of vehicles are targeted by environmental traffic restrictions?

Environmental traffic restrictions primarily target vehicles that exceed exhaust emission standards. Below is a detailed introduction about automobile exhaust: 1. Overview: Automobile exhaust refers to the waste gases produced during vehicle operation, containing hundreds of different compounds. The pollutants include solid suspended particles, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, lead, sulfur oxides, etc. 2. Hazards: Sulfur dioxide in the exhaust has a strong irritating odor. When it reaches a certain concentration, it can easily lead to "acid rain," causing soil and water sources to acidify and affecting the growth of crops and forests.

What does the abnormal tire warning light on Changan vehicles mean?

When a Changan vehicle displays a tire abnormality, it means the tire pressure monitoring system has detected low pressure in one or more tires. In this situation, you should slow down, brake gently to stop safely, avoid sharp turns, and correct the tire pressure when the tires are in a cold state. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: This system uses speed sensors on the vehicle's wheels to compare the rotation counts of all four tires. If one tire has lower pressure, its rotation count will differ from the others during driving. The indirect tire pressure monitoring will then detect the tire abnormality, but it won't display the specific tire pressure, only showing a low tire pressure warning on the dashboard. Direct tire pressure monitoring: This system installs pressure sensors inside or outside the tires, transmitting signals to a receiver that directly provides the tire pressure values on the vehicle's display. This allows drivers to see the pressure information for each tire, making it the more common tire pressure monitoring method in the market today. Direct tire pressure monitoring can be further divided into internal and external types based on the sensor's installation location. Although their positions differ, both internal and external tire pressure monitors operate on the same principle, but their sensors are different. Internal tire pressure monitoring installs sensors inside the tires, while external tire pressure monitoring mounts the sensors on the valve stems.
