It is okay if the water reaches the bottom edge of the car door. Below is an introduction to water-damaged vehicles: Specific definition of a water-damaged vehicle: Water begins to accumulate in the vehicle, and internal components are damaged due to the water. Water-damaged vehicles also have corresponding flood levels. Classification of water-damaged vehicle flood levels: Flood level 1: Water just reaches the vehicle's chassis. Flood level 2: Water reaches half of the wheels. Flood level 3: Water almost completely submerges the tires. Flood level 4: Water reaches the engine hood. Flood level 5: Water completely submerges the engine hood. Flood level 6: Water submerges the car roof.

Last time my car was submerged up to the lower edge of the doors during a heavy rainstorm. I thought it would be fine due to the high ground clearance, but major problems emerged later. Dirty water that seeped into the door seals gradually corroded the wiring under the car body, and within a month the power windows stopped working. When the repair shop removed the carpet, they found severe rust on the chassis connectors, and even the exhaust pipe heat shield had rotted through. Now I get nervous every time I go through a puddle. This level of water exposure causes chronic damage to vehicles – the effects may not be immediately noticeable, but metal components will oxidize at an accelerated rate.

What are the reasons for the unresponsive power window of Geely Emgrand GS?

Geely Emgrand GS power window unresponsive reasons are as follows: Window lift motor damage or poor electrical wiring contact: If there is a burnt smell or abnormal noise inside the door panel when holding down the window button for a long time, it is likely that the window lift motor components are damaged. In this case, it is recommended to directly contact a 4S shop or auto repair shop to replace the power window regulator. Motor overheating protection: To protect the power supply circuit, most window lift motors are equipped with an overheating protection mechanism. If the components overheat for some reason, the motor will enter an overheating protection state, causing the power window to malfunction. In this case, simply wait for the motor to cool down. Excessive resistance in the window guide channel: During use, dust accumulates in the window guide channel, increasing resistance, which over time may make the window difficult to raise. Regularly clean debris from the window guide rail or use lubricating grease for lubrication. Computer data loss: Disconnecting the battery, interrupting the power or ground wire of the window control module during maintenance of other systems, or severe power loss when starting the engine, etc., can cause the initialization data of the window to be lost, resulting in the window not being able to move up or down.

What causes the reverse light not to work?

There are several reasons why the reverse light may not work: 1. Fuse issue: If the reverse light is not working, you can pull out the fuse to check if it is blown. 2. Reverse light bulb issue: If the filament of the reverse light bulb is broken, even if there is power, the reverse light will not illuminate. 3. Reverse light switch issue: The reverse light will only illuminate if the reverse light switch is properly engaged. You can unplug the switch connector and use a wire to bridge the switch. If the reverse light turns on, it means the switch is damaged; if it doesn't, the switch is fine.

Which is More Suitable for Family Use: Sedan or SUV?

Choose according to your usual driving environment. If the car is mainly for commuting to and from work, a sedan may be preferable because sedans generally have lower fuel consumption compared to SUVs. SUVs, due to factors like engine displacement and vehicle weight, tend to consume more fuel. Additionally, the larger size of SUVs results in greater wind resistance, which also affects fuel efficiency. With the improvement in living standards, many people enjoy weekend outings, where an SUV holds more advantages. The higher body of an SUV provides more interior space and stronger cargo capacity. Moreover, the higher ground clearance of SUVs offers better off-road capability, making them more suitable for rough or muddy roads, which could be challenging for sedans. If comfort is a priority, sedans are the better choice. Sedans have a lower seating position, offering better comfort both for driving and riding. In contrast, SUVs typically have higher seating positions, where the driver's thighs and neck are at a roughly 90-degree angle, which can cause more pressure on the hips and cervical spine during long drives. In terms of safety, SUVs perform better than sedans. The higher body of an SUV provides better visibility, allowing drivers to anticipate traffic conditions ahead. In the event of a collision, the SUV's bumper can also offer more protection.

What are the exhaust emission standards for vehicle inspection?

Automobile environmental exhaust emission testing standards are as follows: the limit for carbon monoxide is 6.3g/km, and the total limit for hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides is 2.0g/km. The general process for vehicle exhaust emission testing is as follows: Information Entry: Computer entry of information, registration of vehicle details, and then allocation of inspection lines based on vehicle characteristics. This entire process is automatically completed by the computer. Designated Inspection Line: Dispatch personnel will instruct the staff to drive the vehicle to the designated inspection line. The monitoring personnel do not have the authority to change the inspection line. Confirmation of Inspection Line: The central control room confirms whether the vehicle to be inspected has entered the correct inspection line. The next step cannot proceed without this confirmation. Exhaust Emission Testing: This step is performed by the inspection personnel following the prompts on the computer screen. Correct operation is necessary for a successful test. The test results are compared with the standard values, and then the results are uploaded to the server by the system. Payment: Finally, proceed to the environmental testing fee payment counter. If the vehicle fails the test, it will require rectification before retesting. Vehicles that pass the test will be issued an environmental label.

The Impact of Low Engine Oil on a Car

The effects of insufficient engine oil on a car are as follows: 1. Initially, it generally affects the overall lubrication effectiveness of the engine. Particularly for components relying on crankshaft splash lubrication, wear increases significantly or they may even fail directly. 2. When the oil level drops further, more severe damage can occur. All internally lubricated components such as the camshaft, crankshaft, cylinder liners, and bearings may be damaged. 3. Continuing to drive with insufficient engine oil can cause immense harm to the engine. In mild cases, it may lead to cylinder scoring and burning out the crankshaft and bearings, while in severe cases, the engine may be completely ruined.
