1. Electronic Stability Program (ESP): The system is enabled by default. It is not recommended to turn it off unless driving on slippery surfaces such as rain or snow. 2. Hazard Warning Lights (commonly known as hazard lights): Used in special situations such as car breakdowns or temporary parking, mainly to warn other vehicles. 3. Volume Control Buttons: Adjust the multimedia volume and can also be used to skip tracks. 4. Parking Radar/Image: Warns of surrounding obstacles through images and alarm sounds. 5. Auto Start-Stop: The engine will shut off during brief stops. The vehicle will continue moving when the driver releases the brake pedal. 6. Recirculation/Fresh Air Mode: Recirculation mode heats or cools the air inside the car and recirculates it, while fresh air mode allows outside air to enter the cabin. Generally, use recirculation mode in congested traffic or when outside air quality is poor. On highways, switch to fresh air mode every hour or so to replenish oxygen and maintain air quality inside the car.

I've been driving the 2009 Teana Duke for a while and find its button layout quite user-friendly. There are buttons on both left and right sides of the steering wheel. The left side has audio control buttons like volume adjustment and track switching, allowing me to control music without taking hands off the wheel while driving. The right side features cruise control buttons, with the speed cruise switch being particularly useful on highways. On the center console, there are the most air conditioning buttons. The manual AC is simple to operate - the temperature knob adjusts cooling/heating, the fan speed buttons control airflow intensity, and the air outlet mode selector offers options like foot or face ventilation. The audio system buttons are nearby, with intuitive controls for volume adjustment and radio station switching. The door has power window buttons that open/close windows with a press, and the rearview mirror adjustment knob is on the driver's side door panel. Below the instrument panel, there's a light adjustment knob for night driving convenience. Overall, the button design isn't complicated and is easy to get familiar with quickly.

The 2009 Teana Duke features well-designed buttons that are practical from the driver's perspective. For instance, the steering wheel has just enough buttons on both sides – the left side handles audio functions, allowing easy track switching or volume adjustment with a single press; the right side's cruise control buttons enable speed setting, reducing fatigue on long drives. The center console has more buttons, with climate control being the focus: the temperature knob allows manual adjustment, fan speed buttons offer clear gradation, and mode buttons let you choose between defrost or footwell airflow. Nearby, the compact audio buttons include a handy one-touch radio on/off. Door controls are simple, with one button managing window operation, while mirror adjustment sits unobtrusively near the door handle. Below the instrument cluster, a lighting knob adjusts headlight angles.

Is it harmful if the trunk gets soaked in water?

The trunk being soaked in water can cause harm, such as rusting of the trunk and dampness or mold in the car's interior. Below is relevant information about the vehicle trunk: Maintenance: Keep the trunk clean. Properly use the mesh pockets on both sides. Most cars come equipped with these to store items that may roll around, such as flashlights or small fire extinguishers. They don't take up much space, but it's not advisable to pile them together, as they may fall out of the mesh pockets due to bumps during driving. Precautions: Avoid flammable or explosive items. The car interior is a relatively enclosed space, and in summer, the temperature inside can become very high after being exposed to the sun. Flammable or explosive items stored in the trunk may spontaneously combust or explode due to the high temperature.

Are All Flood-Damaged Cars Scrapped?

Not all flood-damaged cars are scrapped. A vehicle is only scrapped when the repair costs reach 70% or more of the vehicle's actual value, but this situation is relatively rare. Below is an introduction to flood-damaged cars: Definition: "Flood-damaged cars" refer to vehicles that were parked in underground garages or low-lying areas and could not be moved in time by their owners due to heavy rain, resulting in prolonged submersion in water. Precautions: For water-damaged vehicles (without ignition), the most significant impact might be electrical issues. Electrical problems cannot be completely repaired, and the repaired circuits may malfunction within as little as 3 months or as long as a year or more. Specific symptoms include the illumination of warning lights without actual faults, headlights turning on unexpectedly, and other power-related issues.

Is it necessary to install a trunk partition?

Installing a trunk partition is highly recommended as it can prevent items in the trunk from hitting the passenger seats during a traffic accident, thereby avoiding secondary damage. Below is relevant information about trunk partitions: Trunk Partition: Most hatchbacks, SUVs, and some MPV models come with a trunk partition as an original factory accessory. The vehicle will have a pre-installation position reserved for it after leaving the factory. It not only enhances the privacy and security of luggage but also clearly separates the trunk from the cabin. Precautions: Before driving, ensure that miscellaneous items are properly placed in the trunk, secured, and effectively separated using the trunk partition.

Can Insurance Cover Flooded Vehicles?

Flooded vehicles can be compensated as long as comprehensive insurance (vehicle damage insurance) is purchased. According to the relevant insurance clauses, vehicle losses caused by general natural disasters such as rainstorms, floods, landslides, and mudslides fall under the coverage of comprehensive insurance in commercial auto insurance, and the insurance company will provide compensation. It is important to note that there are two situations where claims may be rejected: If the engine stalls during driving through water and the driver forcibly restarts it, leading to engine damage from water ingress, the insurance company may refuse to compensate. Therefore, if the vehicle stalls in water, never attempt to restart it. Additionally, if the driver knowingly drives through severe flooding, causing engine damage, the insurance company will not cover the loss. It is especially important to note that if the owner has neither comprehensive insurance nor additional water damage coverage, all financial losses will be borne by the owner, with no compensation available. After a vehicle is flooded, the owner should not attempt to start the engine or drive through water. Instead, the owner should immediately call the insurance company to report the situation. If possible, evidence such as photos should be taken to document the scene. The owner should cooperate with the insurance company’s personnel during the inspection and prepare the required claim documents, submitting them to the insurance company for review. Once approved, the insurance company will notify the owner of the claim result, and the owner can then await compensation.

Will Insurance Cover Flood-Damaged Vehicles?

As long as you have purchased water-related insurance, the insurance company will provide compensation. Below is relevant information about water-damaged and flood-soaked vehicles: Different concepts: A water-damaged vehicle refers to a car that has been submerged in water, typically involving the engine and transmission being soaked, with water depth exceeding the wheels and body seats, and prolonged contact between the vehicle's bottom components and water. Such vehicles pose significant risks, as the electrical circuits are prone to short circuits and fires. A 'flood-soaked vehicle' refers to cars that, due to heavy rain, were parked in underground garages or low-lying areas and could not be moved in time by the owners, resulting in prolonged soaking by accumulated water. Different levels of water ingress: A water-damaged vehicle refers to a car directly submerged in water, with water depth exceeding one-third of the wheel height. In reality, both wading and submersion affect the vehicle, with the extent of damage depending on the water depth. A flood-soaked vehicle has undergone prolonged soaking, with water ingress exceeding that of a water-damaged vehicle.

Will Putting 200 Jin in the Trunk Damage the Car?

Putting 200 jin in the trunk will not damage the car. Below is relevant information about car trunks: Introduction: The car trunk is sealed because it uses sealing strips to prevent water intrusion, similar to refrigerator seals, so air can hardly escape from the trunk. Function: The elastic net in the trunk can be used to secure fragile items. Almost every car trunk is equipped with an elastic net. If there are fewer items in the trunk, placing fragile items can be troublesome as they may roll around. In this case, the elastic net can help secure them. The trunk partition can create a relatively hidden and secure space in the trunk, which is very practical. Generally, many cars do not come with this partition, but it can be installed later. Of course, it is more common in SUV models. The car manufacturer usually reserves a position for it, making installation convenient.
