Reasons for water from car air conditioning flowing into the car: 1. Incorrect installation of the drain pipe: Cars have a dedicated air conditioning drain pipe located in the right front footwell area, with the outlet also on the right side of the car. If the drain pipe is incorrectly installed after the dashboard is removed and reassembled at a repair shop, water can flow into the car. A common symptom is water stains on the right front floor mat. 2. Internal blockage of the evaporator: For new cars, the evaporator might be internally blocked. If the evaporator's drain outlet was not properly treated during manufacturing, there might be a rubber film covering the drain outlet, preventing water from draining. 3. Poor connection: Another reason could be the evaporator's drain outlet connector, where the connected rubber drain pipe might have come off or is not properly connected.

What does a car inside a triangle mean?

This symbol represents the distance warning light, which reminds the driver to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead to prevent rear-end collisions and avoid traffic accidents. Below is an introduction to related warning lights: 1. Turn signal indicator: When the turn signal is on, the corresponding turn light flashes at a certain frequency. When the hazard warning light button is pressed, both lights turn on simultaneously. The indicator automatically turns off after the turn signal is deactivated. 2. Recirculation indicator: This indicator displays the working status of the vehicle's air conditioning system and is usually off. When the recirculation button is activated and the vehicle's external air circulation is closed, this indicator automatically lights up.

What does 'Low Power Steering and Engine Stop' mean?

What does 'Low Power Steering and Engine Stop' mean? The explanation is as follows: 1. Description and precautions: 'Low Power Steering and Engine Stop' indicates insufficient power steering fluid, which prevents the engine from starting or requires electrical power for the steering assist. If the power steering fluid level is below the marked line, it must be refilled. It is recommended to replace the fluid every 4 years or 60,000 kilometers. Power steering fluid is a special liquid used in the power steering pump, which, through hydraulic action, makes the steering wheel lighter and easier to turn. 2. Power steering fluid: Power steering fluid is a special oil added to the car's steering system, similar to automatic transmission fluid, brake fluid, and shock absorber fluid. It automatically provides steering assistance when the driver turns the wheel, reducing the effort required. Power steering fluid is the medium oil added to the power steering system, serving to transmit steering force and provide cushioning. If the fluid becomes thin due to water contamination or turns black after prolonged use, it indicates that the power steering fluid needs to be replaced.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Sagitar?

The minimum ground clearance is 108 millimeters. Below is the relevant content introduction: 1. Minimum ground clearance: Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the chassis and the ground when the car is fully loaded. The minimum ground clearance reflects the car's ability to pass obstacles or uneven ground without collision. 2. Stability: The larger the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability. The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.

Does Insurance Cover Water Damage with Auto Start-Stop?

Insurance does not cover damages caused by auto start-stop during water wading. Here are the relevant details: 1. Auto Start-Stop Function: The auto start-stop function is designed to automatically shut off the engine when the car is waiting at a red light to save fuel and reduce exhaust emissions. However, this feature is not as intelligent as one might think. If the engine stalls due to water wading, the vehicle's computer may still attempt an automatic restart, which can cause engine damage. 2. Accidents: If a serious accident such as a collision or rollover is caused by a tire blowout, resulting in damage to other parts of the vehicle, the insurance company will still provide compensation.

What kind of oil applied to brake pads will cause failure?

Butter, this substance is absolutely not allowed on brake pads. Detailed introduction to automotive brake fluid: 1. Boiling point of brake fluid: When brake fluid deteriorates due to high temperature or absorbs moisture from the air, it will cause the boiling point of the brake fluid to decrease. Boiling brake fluid will cause the brake pedal to feel empty, and this situation can suddenly occur when brakes are used intensely, frequently, and continuously. 2. Boiling of brake fluid: The boiling of brake fluid is the biggest problem in all braking systems. Brake fluid must be replaced regularly, and when stored after opening, the bottle mouth must be properly sealed to prevent moisture in the air from contacting the brake fluid. 3. Pay attention to brands: Some vehicle models restrict the brands of brake fluid used, because some brake fluids can erode rubber products. It is necessary to refer to the warnings in the user manual to avoid misuse, especially when using brake fluid containing silicone components, extra attention must be paid. More importantly, different brake fluids should not be mixed.

What is the method for passing through a right-turn-only lane?

The method for passing through a right-turn-only lane is as follows: 1. Reasons for receiving a 3-point deduction when turning right at an intersection: If you receive a 3-point deduction for turning right at an intersection, the displayed violation is mostly for disobeying the prohibition line indication, commonly known as crossing the solid line. For example, when turning right in a shared straight and right-turn lane, the vehicle turns right before fully crossing the stop line. Because it is a shared straight and right-turn lane, as long as the frontmost vehicle is going straight, all following right-turning vehicles must wait for the green light together. Sometimes, even if the light is green, slow-starting straight vehicles or vehicles blocked by others not yet through the intersection may cause following vehicles to choose to cross the line to turn right. 2. Shared left-turn and right-turn lane: If you are the first vehicle, you can cross the stop line and turn right directly. If not, you must wait for the left-turning vehicle ahead to proceed before crossing the stop line to turn right. However, not all shared straight and right-turn lanes require crossing the stop line to turn right. Some intersections have many right-turning vehicles but fewer lanes, making it impossible to add a dedicated right-turn lane. In such cases, a dotted line may be set before the stop line, allowing right turns from the dotted line when there are vehicles waiting to go straight ahead.
