Correct usage method of safety hammer: Take out the safety hammer from the car, then directly strike the four corners of the tempered glass. When slight cracking appears, it indicates that the internal stress distribution of the glass has been severely disrupted, leading to the instant formation of numerous spider-web cracks. At this point, just a few more strikes will shatter the glass. If the glass has a film, you need to exert force to kick it open, as the film has anti-shattering properties and won’t detach without sufficient external force. The car safety hammer, also known as a multifunctional safety hammer, is a tool installed in vehicles for breaking car windows to escape in emergencies or disasters. There are numerous brands of car safety hammers, with varying functions and styles. The hammer body can be made of plastic, wood, or steel, while the hammer head is always metal. Car safety hammers should only be used in emergencies, and safety precautions must be observed. When taking long-distance buses, it’s advisable to sit near the safety hammer, emergency door, or roof emergency exit. It’s also recommended to review the instructions for opening the emergency door beforehand. Private cars can also be equipped with safety hammers if necessary. If a private car is equipped with one, the hammer should be placed in an easily accessible location. In emergencies, the driver should aim for the center position, about two-thirds up from the bottom on either side, to ensure a quick escape.

What is the difference between car maintenance at a 4S shop and outside?

4S shop maintenance is more reliable but expensive, while outside maintenance carries higher risks but is cheaper. Here are the specific details: 4S shop maintenance: 4S shops have specialized vehicle inspections for specific car models, professional technicians, and matching tools and equipment, as well as sufficient inventory. Maintenance at a 4S shop is more reliable because they communicate with car manufacturers and have a better understanding of the vehicle's conditions. They also have the corresponding tools for the model, and the parts replaced at a 4S shop are usually genuine. Outside maintenance: Lacks a comprehensive management system, sometimes relying only on experience to determine which parts need replacement, and the replaced parts may not be genuine. The main advantage is lower prices, and the maintenance or repair process is relatively faster. You can choose your own engine oil, even purchase it online and pay a service fee for the repair shop to perform the maintenance. You can also supervise the entire process.

Does Car Insurance Cover Flood Damage?

Generally speaking, as long as the car owner has purchased vehicle damage insurance, they can call the insurance company after the car is flooded. Here are the specific details: Vehicle Damage Insurance stipulates that the insurance company will be responsible for compensating for total or partial losses of the vehicle caused by lightning strikes, heavy rain, floods, waterlogging, tsunamis, etc. However, if the engine is damaged due to water ingress, only owners who have purchased water ingress insurance can receive compensation. In other words, if the car is flooded, owners with vehicle damage insurance can claim compensation. If the engine is damaged by water, owners with water ingress insurance can claim compensation. Important note: If the car stalls during flooding and the owner forcibly restarts it, causing engine damage, the insurance company will not cover such losses. Additionally, in case of a breakdown due to flooding, the owner should immediately report to the insurance company and actively organize rescue efforts, quickly disconnect the electrical circuit, tow the vehicle out of the water, and send it to a repair shop. If the insurance company cannot arrive promptly after reporting, under the guidance of the insurance company, the owner can take photos to preserve evidence of the scene and organize rescue efforts to minimize vehicle damage, but remember not to restart the engine.

What is the principle of the tow rope flag?

The function of the tow rope flag: During off-road rescue, the flag should be hung horizontally above the winch cable or tow rope. It serves both as an identification reminder and prevents the cable or tow rope from flying off when overloaded and broken. Note 1: The flag is not just any random object hung on the towing or traction rope to provide protection. Note 2: The flag has its own weight. For the current traction force levels in off-road rescues, a product with a weight exceeding 1.5kg should be selected. Additional information: The flag is also called a damper. It is mainly used during rescue or towing by hanging the flag on the tow rope or winch cable. This not only alerts others but also prevents the tow rope or cable from rebounding and causing injury to vehicles and people when broken. Additionally, reflective strips are added to the flag for nighttime visibility. Whether during the day or at night, when rescuing or towing a malfunctioning vehicle on the road, hanging the flag in the center of the tow rope can alert other vehicles not to cut in randomly, preventing traffic accidents.

Is it necessary to depress the clutch when shifting to neutral in a manual transmission?

Manual transmission cars do not require depressing the clutch when shifting to neutral. You can shift directly to neutral without using the clutch while driving. Below are relevant details about neutral gear: Method for shifting to neutral without depressing the clutch: Ease off the accelerator and gently push the gear lever into neutral with two fingers. You can shift to neutral anytime by easing off the accelerator, and pressing the brake also allows shifting to neutral. Mechanical operation when shifting to neutral: All forward gears in a manual transmission are equipped with synchronizers. When shifting gears, depressing the clutch allows the rotating drive gear to engage with a driven gear of a larger or smaller tooth ratio to achieve acceleration or deceleration effects at the same rotation speed. It is not recommended to frequently coast in neutral, especially when going downhill. Coasting in neutral not only increases the risk of brake failure but may also cause the vehicle to lose control if the engine stalls. Driving tips for manual transmission cars: Depress the clutch fully when starting; shift gears quickly; avoid skipping gears when shifting; do not coast in neutral when going downhill; reduce speed when driving in rain or snow.
