As long as the vehicle doesn't stall and restart midway, there shouldn't be any major issues. Here's some relevant information about water-damaged vehicles: 1. Definition: A water-damaged vehicle refers to one that has been submerged in water, typically meaning the engine and transmission have been soaked, with water levels exceeding the wheels and seats, and the vehicle's underbody components have been in prolonged contact with water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as the electrical systems are prone to short circuits and potential fires. 2. Insurance: There are two types of insurance related to water damage: the most common is comprehensive auto insurance, and the other is called special engine loss insurance, commonly known as flood insurance.

What is the battery life of a keyless start key?

Keyless entry batteries typically have a lifespan of around five years. Keyless Start: The Keyless Start System allows the vehicle to be started without physically turning a key. Simply keep the key in your bag or pocket and press the button inside the car to ignite the engine. This provides greater convenience and enhances the sense of luxury and technology. Principle of Keyless Start: The system utilizes advanced Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. It automatically locks and unlocks the doors by sensing the chip in the smart card carried by the owner. This means that when the driver approaches the vehicle within a certain distance, the door locks will automatically open and disable the anti-theft system. Conversely, when the driver moves away from the vehicle, the door locks will automatically engage and activate the anti-theft system.

Can You Make a U-Turn Over Double Yellow Lines?

Double yellow lines do not permit U-turns. Relevant information about double yellow lines is as follows: Violations involving double yellow lines: Double yellow lines must not be crossed, and overtaking or reversing over them is strictly prohibited. U-turns or turns are only permitted when the double yellow lines are broken or become dashed lines, provided that traffic signs allow it and it is safe to do so. Making a U-turn over solid double yellow lines constitutes a violation of crossing the line, which may result in a fine and a deduction of 3 points from the driver's license. Composition of double yellow lines: If one of the double yellow lines is solid and the other is dashed, vehicles on the side with the dashed line may temporarily cross it for maneuvers such as overtaking or turning. Double yellow lines consist of two parallel solid yellow lines, typically painted in the center of roads without a central divider to separate opposing lanes of traffic, serving as boundary markers for vehicle lanes. Neither double yellow lines nor single yellow lines should be crossed arbitrarily. Single solid lines are used for the center of two-way roads, while double solid yellow lines are used for roads with four or more lanes.

How long does it take to get a new driver's license after renewal?

For license renewal upon expiration, the new license can be obtained within 60 days, with a maximum waiting period not exceeding three months. The exact timeline is subject to the receipt notice. License renewal procedure upon expiration: The motor vehicle driver should apply for license renewal at the vehicle management office of the original license issuing authority within 90 days before the driver's license expiration date. Required materials for license renewal upon expiration: 1. A properly filled-out "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" 2. Original "Motor Vehicle Driver Physical Condition Certificate" issued by a county-level or above medical institution designated by the Municipal Health Bureau 3. Original and photocopy of the applicant's identity document (if processed by an agent, original and photocopy of the agent's identity document are also required) 4. Original driver's license 5. Three recent passport-sized photos of the driver (For temporary residents in the city, in addition to ID card, temporary residence permit issued by public security authorities should also be submitted)

How quickly can the vehicle management office archive the documents?

The vehicle management office can archive the documents as quickly as one day. With all the required documents in order, transferring a driver's license to another location usually takes just a few days to be archived. Documents required for archiving: Original driver's license. Original and photocopy of ID card. Two one-inch color photos without a hat. Proof of identity for the motor vehicle driver. Notes for archiving: The applicant must come in person to handle the procedure and sign on the spot; it cannot be delegated to others. Proof of identity: "Resident ID Card"; non-locals also need to provide a local temporary residence permit. Transferring a motor vehicle driver's license to another location through fraudulent or bribery means will result in the revocation of the driver's license, and the applicant will be barred from applying for a driver's license for three years.

Why does the seat heater warm the lower back but not the buttocks?

It is most likely due to damage to the heating wire in the heating zone. The principle of seat heating is similar to that of an electric blanket—if the heating wire is damaged, it cannot generate heat. How seat heating works: The working principle of seat heating involves resistance heating wires stitched into the seat cover. By supplying electricity to these heating wires, heat is generated, allowing the car seat to reach the set temperature within a short time. The heating temperature of the seat remains within a comfortable range. Low cost of seat heating: Seat heating is more commonly equipped than seat ventilation because its working principle is simpler, resulting in lower manufacturing costs compared to seat ventilation.

What is the appropriate air conditioning pressure for the BYD e5?

The normal high pressure for the BYD e5 air conditioning system should be 1.3-1.7MPa (13-17kg/cm2 or 190-250Lbf/in2); the normal low pressure should be between 0.15-0.25MPa (1.5-2.5kg/cm2 or 20-35Lbf/in2). If the low pressure is higher or lower than this range, it indicates that the expansion valve adjustment is abnormal. Issues with the compressor are not included in this category. Below is an introduction to the normal pressure range for car air conditioning: 1. Normal conditions: The normal high pressure for car air conditioning should be 1.3-1.7MPa (13-17kg/cm2 or 190-250Lbf/in2); the normal low pressure should be between 0.15-0.25MPa (1.5-2.5kg/cm2 or 20-35Lbf/in2). If the low pressure is higher or lower than this range, it indicates that the expansion valve adjustment is abnormal. Issues with the compressor are not included in this category. 2. At idle speed: If the ambient temperature is high, such as under direct sunlight in summer, the high pressure might be slightly higher, up to around 2.5~2.8MPa, but it generally does not exceed 3.1MPa, otherwise the pressure switch will activate the protection function.
