Method to turn on the heater in GAC Trumpchi GS4: First, press the AUTO button to activate the car's air conditioning system, then adjust the fan speed, and press the temperature increase button to turn on the heater. After preheating for 3 to 5 minutes, observe the temperature gauge needle reaching the middle value before turning on the air conditioning. Avoid stepping on the accelerator immediately after starting the engine, as this will increase the engine load and affect the car's lifespan. The GAC Trumpchi GS4 is positioned as an international new-generation SUV, equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a 1.5L Atkinson cycle engine and a GMC electric coupling system. In terms of body size, the GAC Trumpchi GS4 measures 4510mm in length, 1852mm in width, and 1708mm in height.

Last time I drove the GAC Trumpchi GS4, turning on the heater was quite convenient. First, start the engine and wait a bit until the temperature gauge rises to the middle position, indicating the engine is warm. Then, look at the air conditioning panel, usually located in the center console area, find the temperature knob, and turn it to the red or high-temperature section, such as setting it to the highest. Press the fan button to turn on the airflow and adjust the fan speed to your preference. Don't forget to adjust the air direction knob to blow towards the windshield or foot area to prevent fogging. If it's an automatic air conditioning system, simply press the AUTO button, and it will automatically adjust the airflow. In cold weather, it's recommended to preheat the engine for a few minutes before turning on the heater, as this allows the warm air to come out faster and doesn't harm the engine. Additionally, regularly replace the air conditioning filter; I check it every six months to remove odors and maintain fresh air. Avoid operating the controls while driving; adjust them only after parking safely.

As a GAC GS4 owner, I also figured out the heating system when I first got the car. Start the engine, wait until the dashboard water temperature gauge shows normal readings. The climate control panel is located near the steering wheel - look for the round knob and turn it clockwise toward the warm setting (usually marked with higher temperature indicators). Press the fan button to activate airflow, then use the +/- buttons to set medium fan speed. Adjust the air vent selector to your preferred position (like face or foot level). For automatic climate control, simply press AUTO and set your desired temperature. Note: The heater won't produce warm air immediately when the engine is cold - be patient for a few minutes. Pro tip: Avoid high fan speed right after cold starts in winter as cold air may blow out first. Maintenance-wise, regularly clean air vents to prevent dust accumulation and maintain long-term heating efficiency.

Is it harmful if the trunk gets soaked in water?

The trunk being soaked in water can cause harm, such as rusting of the trunk and dampness or mold in the car's interior. Below is relevant information about the vehicle trunk: Maintenance: Keep the trunk clean. Properly use the mesh pockets on both sides. Most cars come equipped with these to store items that may roll around, such as flashlights or small fire extinguishers. They don't take up much space, but it's not advisable to pile them together, as they may fall out of the mesh pockets due to bumps during driving. Precautions: Avoid flammable or explosive items. The car interior is a relatively enclosed space, and in summer, the temperature inside can become very high after being exposed to the sun. Flammable or explosive items stored in the trunk may spontaneously combust or explode due to the high temperature.

Are All Flood-Damaged Cars Scrapped?

Not all flood-damaged cars are scrapped. A vehicle is only scrapped when the repair costs reach 70% or more of the vehicle's actual value, but this situation is relatively rare. Below is an introduction to flood-damaged cars: Definition: "Flood-damaged cars" refer to vehicles that were parked in underground garages or low-lying areas and could not be moved in time by their owners due to heavy rain, resulting in prolonged submersion in water. Precautions: For water-damaged vehicles (without ignition), the most significant impact might be electrical issues. Electrical problems cannot be completely repaired, and the repaired circuits may malfunction within as little as 3 months or as long as a year or more. Specific symptoms include the illumination of warning lights without actual faults, headlights turning on unexpectedly, and other power-related issues.

Is it necessary to install a trunk partition?

Installing a trunk partition is highly recommended as it can prevent items in the trunk from hitting the passenger seats during a traffic accident, thereby avoiding secondary damage. Below is relevant information about trunk partitions: Trunk Partition: Most hatchbacks, SUVs, and some MPV models come with a trunk partition as an original factory accessory. The vehicle will have a pre-installation position reserved for it after leaving the factory. It not only enhances the privacy and security of luggage but also clearly separates the trunk from the cabin. Precautions: Before driving, ensure that miscellaneous items are properly placed in the trunk, secured, and effectively separated using the trunk partition.

Can Insurance Cover Flooded Vehicles?

Flooded vehicles can be compensated as long as comprehensive insurance (vehicle damage insurance) is purchased. According to the relevant insurance clauses, vehicle losses caused by general natural disasters such as rainstorms, floods, landslides, and mudslides fall under the coverage of comprehensive insurance in commercial auto insurance, and the insurance company will provide compensation. It is important to note that there are two situations where claims may be rejected: If the engine stalls during driving through water and the driver forcibly restarts it, leading to engine damage from water ingress, the insurance company may refuse to compensate. Therefore, if the vehicle stalls in water, never attempt to restart it. Additionally, if the driver knowingly drives through severe flooding, causing engine damage, the insurance company will not cover the loss. It is especially important to note that if the owner has neither comprehensive insurance nor additional water damage coverage, all financial losses will be borne by the owner, with no compensation available. After a vehicle is flooded, the owner should not attempt to start the engine or drive through water. Instead, the owner should immediately call the insurance company to report the situation. If possible, evidence such as photos should be taken to document the scene. The owner should cooperate with the insurance company’s personnel during the inspection and prepare the required claim documents, submitting them to the insurance company for review. Once approved, the insurance company will notify the owner of the claim result, and the owner can then await compensation.

Will Insurance Cover Flood-Damaged Vehicles?

As long as you have purchased water-related insurance, the insurance company will provide compensation. Below is relevant information about water-damaged and flood-soaked vehicles: Different concepts: A water-damaged vehicle refers to a car that has been submerged in water, typically involving the engine and transmission being soaked, with water depth exceeding the wheels and body seats, and prolonged contact between the vehicle's bottom components and water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as the electrical circuits are prone to short circuits and fires. A 'flood-soaked vehicle' refers to cars that, due to heavy rain, were parked in underground garages or low-lying areas and could not be moved in time by the owners, resulting in prolonged soaking by accumulated water. Different levels of water ingress: A water-damaged vehicle refers to a car directly submerged in water, with water depth exceeding one-third of the wheel height. In reality, both wading and submersion affect the vehicle, with the extent of damage depending on the water depth. A flood-soaked vehicle has undergone prolonged soaking, with water ingress exceeding that of a water-damaged vehicle.

Will Putting 200 Jin in the Trunk Damage the Car?

Putting 200 jin in the trunk will not damage the car. Below is relevant information about car trunks: Introduction: The car trunk is sealed because it uses sealing strips to prevent water intrusion, similar to refrigerator seals, so air can hardly escape from the trunk. Function: The elastic net in the trunk can be used to secure fragile items. Almost every car trunk is equipped with an elastic net. If there are fewer items in the trunk, placing fragile items can be troublesome as they may roll around. In this case, the elastic net can help secure them. The trunk partition can create a relatively hidden and secure space in the trunk, which is very practical. Generally, many cars do not come with this partition, but it can be installed later. Of course, it is more common in SUV models. The car manufacturer usually reserves a position for it, making installation convenient.
