Is there any impact if half of the tire is submerged but no water has entered the car?

Whether half of the tire being submerged has an impact mainly depends on the air intake. If the water hasn't reached the air intake, there's no issue. Vehicle water ingress levels: Water level not reaching the chassis does not count as a flooded car; water reaching the chassis is considered an immersed car; water almost covering the wheels is a semi-flooded car; water level above the dashboard is a fully flooded car. If the water level is above the dashboard or even covers the roof, it indicates that about 90% of the electrical equipment in the car has been submerged, and the engine has also been flooded. Handling methods for vehicle water ingress: If the water ingress inside the car is not severe, simply open the windows on a sunny day to allow thorough drying. For water entering the cabin, the repair process mainly involves draining the accumulated water. There are several rubber seals at the bottom of the vehicle chassis; opening these seals can release the water inside the cabin. However, since the floor mats inside the car are highly absorbent, they should be removed and placed in a spacious area to facilitate water evaporation.

What does ignition on mean?

ignition on means to start the engine. If the vehicle is already powered on, it may indicate that the engine can be started. Car starting method: When starting the car, turn the key to the LOCK position. Sometimes it cannot be turned, and you need to shake the steering wheel slightly. This is because the steering wheel is locked in this position. Be careful not to use excessive force to turn the key, as it may cause damage. When the key is turned to ACC, the main circuit of the car is powered on, ensuring the normal power supply of the car's circuits. The onboard computer will check if the data is normal, and you should wait for three to five seconds at this stage. When the key is turned from ACC to ON, you will hear the sound of the fuel pump drawing fuel, as the car prepares for normal driving. The dashboard lights will automatically display whether everything is normal, and the key should generally remain in this position for seven to eight seconds. When the key is turned from ON to START, release it after hearing the engine start, and the key will automatically return to the ON position. Do not manually return it to ON to avoid engine damage. Car starting precautions: Pay attention to the time interval when turning the key from LOCK to START. Ignoring this may cause errors in the onboard computer's self-check. Also, ensure the key is not left in the START position while driving, as this may cause the starter to continue working and lead to circuit malfunctions.

Where is the Xiali wiper fuse located?

It is located inside the fuse box in the engine compartment. Replacing the fuse: There is a white clip provided inside the fuse box (used to remove the fuse). Using the fuse clip makes it easy to remove the old fuse, and then installing the new fuse completes the task. However, it's important to note that attempting to remove it by hand is nearly impossible—no matter how strong your nails are, it's futile. So, don't forget about the existence of the white clip. Types of fuses: There are two types of automotive fuses: high-current and low-current fuses. Generally, medium to low-current fuses are more common in cars, and the wiper fuse is a blade-type fuse.

What Causes Excessive Noise in a Car?

Here are the reasons for excessive noise in a car: 1. The engine oil viscosity is too high; 2. Carbon deposits in the cylinders; 3. Aging of engine mounts; 4. Aging tires. Additional information: Solutions to reduce car noise include: 1. The most noticeable change in noise is engine noise, especially in vehicles that have not been maintained for a long time, where the noise is particularly evident. Regular vehicle maintenance is recommended. 2. For the engine, if overly viscous engine oil is used, it can result in insufficient oil flow into the hydraulic lifters, causing valve noise and generating noise. In this case, it is necessary to switch to a relatively lower viscosity gasoline.

Which Cars Use Monocoque Body Structure?

Monocoque body structure is currently the mainstream form for regular passenger vehicles. For example, Toyota's lineup includes 17 models with monocoque construction, such as the Crown, Reiz, Corolla, and Vios. Below are the advantages and disadvantages of monocoque body structures: 1. Advantages: Provides excellent stability on paved roads; The integrated body structure results in lower natural frequency vibrations, reduced noise levels, and enhanced overall safety. 2. Disadvantages: The chassis strength is significantly inferior to body-on-frame structures; The body may deform when wheels experience uneven force distribution; Additionally, manufacturing costs are relatively higher.
