You should turn on hazard lights when driving in heavy rain. Here is some relevant information about hazard lights: 1. Introduction: Hazard lights are also known as emergency flashers, commonly referred to as double flashers, and technically termed as hazard warning lights. 2. Location: The hazard light button is located in the center of the dashboard, marked with a red triangle symbol. Pressing this button will cause all four turn signals to flash simultaneously. 3. Reason for not using hazard lights in fog: Hazard lights are the highest-level warning lights, so many people instinctively turn them on in foggy conditions. However, this practice is prohibited in some countries because it can make it difficult for following vehicles to determine the direction the leading vehicle is heading.

How to deal with water leakage in the Roewe RX5 trunk?

Remove all items from the trunk, drain the accumulated water, then use a cloth to dry the wet areas, and leave the trunk open to air dry. Further investigate the cause of the water leakage in the trunk to facilitate timely repairs. If the water leakage is due to a loose sunroof drainage pipe connection, simply tighten it promptly. It may also be caused by poorly installed sealing strips, creating gaps that allow rainwater to seep in. In this case, replacing the sealing strips should resolve the issue.

What is the wading depth of the Focus?

The maximum wading depth of the Focus is 500mm. The wading depth of the Focus is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a reference when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Focus is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth should not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. Alternatively, installing a snorkel can increase the height of the engine's air intake, thereby improving the maximum wading depth. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before wading, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in water, which could cause severe damage due to water ingestion. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of vehicles ahead and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, use warning water level markers, trees, or the wheels and doors of other vehicles as reference points to estimate water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Be aware of your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the tire height or the engine's air intake, avoid entering the water and choose an alternative route.

How to Turn Off the Vehicle's Power Supply?

Without pressing the brake pedal, press the one-touch start button once to turn off the engine.
