Water entering the engine can cause the piston stroke to become shorter, bend or break the engine connecting rod, and under extreme conditions, it may result in the broken connecting rod flying out and penetrating the cylinder block. Below is a partial introduction to the effects of water entering the engine: 1. Causes of water entry: The reason a car stalls in water is that the distributor cap loses its normal ignition function after getting wet, the engine air filter element becomes soaked, leading to increased intake resistance and water entering the combustion chamber, preventing the spark plug from igniting. 2. Determining if water has entered: Check the color of the engine oil for abnormalities. If the oil turns milky white, it indicates that water has entered the fuel tank or engine.

Does the Lavida Plus come with ESP stability system?

The Lavida series comes standard with ESP system across all models. Electronic Stability Program (ESP): The ESP system is actually a type of traction control system. Compared to other traction control systems, ESP not only controls the drive wheels but also the driven wheels. For example, in the case of oversteering, which is common in rear-wheel-drive cars where the rear wheels lose control and the car fishtails, ESP will brake the outer front wheel to stabilize the car. In the case of understeering, to correct the tracking direction, ESP will brake the inner rear wheel to adjust the driving direction. System Components: The ESP system includes ABS and ASR, extending the functionality of these two systems. Therefore, ESP can be considered the highest form of automotive anti-skid device currently available. The ESP system consists of a control unit and sensors such as steering sensors, wheel sensors, skid sensors, and lateral acceleration sensors.

How many seconds does the Ninja 400 take to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?

The Ninja 400 takes 4.9 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h. Definition of 0-100 km/h acceleration: 0-100 km/h acceleration refers to the time it takes for a car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, which is the most intuitive reflection of a car's power. Generally, a 1.6L compact car takes between 11 to 13 seconds, a 2.0T mid-size car takes between 7 to 8 seconds, while supercars mostly take less than 3.8 seconds. Factors affecting test results: Manufacturers usually indicate the official 0-100 km/h acceleration time in the vehicle's promotional materials, but the actual test results often differ from the official figures. This is because different environmental temperatures, road conditions, vehicle wear conditions, and even the amount of fuel remaining in the tank can affect the test results. Therefore, there are no two identical acceleration test results.
