An automobile can function normally when submerged up to the level of the exhaust pipe. Many car enthusiasts worry that water reaching the exhaust pipe may cause backflow, but in reality, the pressure generated by the engine's exhaust is substantial enough to expel any water that enters the exhaust pipe. Therefore, as long as the engine does not stall and the vehicle maintains sufficient and stable power, it can prevent water from backflowing into the exhaust pipe, allowing safe passage through waterlogged areas. Below is an introduction to some car insurance options: 1. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Covers losses due to natural disasters and accidents, recommended for new drivers. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Compensates for third-party personal injury or death caused by the car owner, a mandatory purchase for protection of oneself and others. 3. No-Deductible Insurance: An additional insurance that transfers the car owner's liability to the insurance company, reducing the owner's losses. It is advisable to purchase this if both Vehicle Damage Insurance and Third-Party Liability Insurance are already in place.

What to do if the USB charging in the car is too slow?

Not being able to quickly charge your phone is because the interface on the car CD player is for data transfer, not charging, and its output is only 500mA. Note that the current output of the car charger should not be less than the maximum rated input power of the phone; not only will it be slow, but it will also get severely hot, and prolonged use can damage the phone's battery.

What is the method to remove yellow stains from the car ceiling?

Recline the seats and cover them with a towel or seat cover. Use a high-powered vacuum cleaner or brush to remove surface dust and dirt that easily falls off. Use a specialized ceiling cleaner, repeatedly spray foam for scrubbing, and spray the corresponding part above the seat. Once dry, it will be less likely to be scrubbed off.
