If water reaches half the height of the car's tires and the vehicle has good sealing, it generally will not allow water to enter. However, if the sealing is poor, the water level inside the car may affect components such as the seat adjustment motors, heating, and ventilation systems. Below is relevant information about vehicle wading: 1. Introduction: Vehicle wading refers to driving through low-lying or waterlogged areas, typically occurring during rainy weather when poor drainage leads to water accumulation in low-lying road sections. 2. Precautions for Vehicle Wading: Before wading, observe the road conditions carefully. Maintain steady power while driving through water. After wading, inspect the electrical systems. If a car stalls in water, the primary cause is usually water entering the exhaust pipe, though electrical damage may also occur in some cases. Once a car stalls in water, do not attempt to restart the engine, as this may cause water to enter the intake system and damage the valves, potentially leading to severe engine failure.

What Causes Normal Low Pressure but High High Pressure in Car Air Conditioning?

The reason for low low pressure and high high pressure in the air conditioning system is poor circulation in the system, blockage in the dryer filter; kinks in the connecting pipes; the shut-off valve not being fully open; or the four-way valve not switching properly. Below are specific details about car air conditioning pressure: 1. Under normal conditions: When the compressor operates at 1500-2000 rpm, the high pressure is around 1.5-2.0 MPa, while the low pressure is around 0.15-0.35 MPa. 2. High ambient temperature around the vehicle: The high pressure may reach around 2.5-2.8 MPa, but it generally does not exceed 3.1 MPa, otherwise it will trigger pressure protection. To ensure the safe operation of the air conditioning compressor, most vehicle air conditioning systems are equipped with a pressure protection switch. When the air conditioning system pressure is too high or too low, the pressure switch will be triggered, stopping the air conditioning compressor.

How long after drinking two small beers can you drive?

After drinking two beers, you should wait at least 21 hours before driving. Alcohol consumption significantly impacts driving ability in the following ways: 1. Visual impairment: Normally, a person's peripheral vision spans 180 degrees, but with a blood alcohol content exceeding 0.08%, the driver's field of vision narrows. Under such conditions, the person is no longer fit to drive. For intoxicated drivers, they may only perceive a very small portion of their surroundings. 2. Slowed motor reflexes: Delayed by one or two seconds. At a speed of 60km/h, the car travels 16.67 meters in one second, which can lead to severe consequences. 3. Reduced tactile ability: Due to the numbing effects of alcohol, the driver's hands and feet have diminished sensitivity, making it difficult to properly control the accelerator, brakes, and steering wheel. 4. Impaired judgment and operational ability: After drinking, a person's reaction time to light and sound stimuli is prolonged, affecting their ability to accurately judge distance and speed.

What is the purpose of car engine oil?

Car engine oil serves the following purposes: 1. It separates the relatively sliding surfaces of parts to reduce wear; 2. It carries heat back to the oil tank and then dissipates it into the air, assisting the radiator in cooling the engine; 3. It circulates carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank, flushing away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts through the flow of the lubricating oil. The meaning of engine oil grades is: 1. The letter 'w' stands for winter, indicating all-season oil; 2. The number before 'w' represents the viscosity of the oil under low-temperature conditions, with a smaller number indicating better low-temperature fluidity; 3. The number after 'w' represents the standard for kinematic viscosity at 100 degrees Celsius, categorized into 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60, with the viscosity standard affecting the oil's adhesion performance at high temperatures.

Can a Car with Replaced Airbags Still Be Driven?

Excluding flood-damaged or accident vehicles, a car with replaced airbags can still be driven. Below is relevant information about airbags: 1. History: The airbag was first proposed by Hetrick in August 1953 and obtained the U.S. patent for 'Automobile Safety Cushion Assembly.' With the establishment of vehicle safety standards in various countries, the installation rate of airbags has been increasing. In Europe, the U.S., Japan, and other countries, the installation rate of airbags in vehicles has reached nearly 100%. 2. Composition: Mainly consists of airbag sensors, collision airbags, and electronic control devices. The driver-side collision airbag is installed in the steering wheel; the passenger-side collision airbag is generally installed on the dashboard. Airbag sensors are installed on the left, right, and middle sections of the cabin partition; the middle airbag sensor and airbag system are installed together with the electronic control device. The airbag module mainly consists of the airbag, gas generator, and igniter.

What is the incorrect statement about coasting downhill with the engine off?

About coasting downhill with the engine off, the incorrect statement is that coasting downhill utilizes the slope's potential to propel the vehicle forward without the engine working, which can save fuel and should be strongly advocated. Additional information: Engine-off downhill: When the engine is off downhill, the vehicle loses engine braking resistance, and the power steering system also loses its power source, making brake failure extremely dangerous. Do not turn off the engine or shift into neutral when going downhill. If the engine stalls and the vehicle is in neutral while going downhill, it can easily lead to loss of control and accelerated wear of the brake pads. Forced downshifting: Do not turn off the engine to save fuel on downhill sections. If the vehicle stalls abnormally, for manual transmission vehicles, forced downshifting can be chosen, or the handbrake can be gradually applied using a method of pulling tight, releasing, pulling tight, and releasing repeatedly to bring the vehicle to a stop.

How fast can a 72v1200w motor run?

72v1200w motor speed is about 60km/h to 70km/h. The following is the relevant introduction about the motor: 1. Introduction: Motor (English: Electric-machinery, commonly known as "motor") refers to an electromagnetic device that realizes the conversion or transmission of electrical energy according to the law of electromagnetic induction. The motor is represented by the letter M (old standard uses D) in the circuit, and its main function is to generate driving torque as the power source of electrical appliances or various machinery. The generator is represented by the letter G in the circuit, and its main function is to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. 2. Classification: According to the type of working power supply, it can be divided into DC motor and AC motor. According to the structure and working principle, it can be divided into DC motor, asynchronous motor and synchronous motor. According to the starting and running mode, it can be divided into capacitor-start single-phase asynchronous motor, capacitor-run single-phase asynchronous motor, capacitor-start-run single-phase asynchronous motor and split-phase single-phase asynchronous motor. According to the purpose, it can be divided into driving motor and control motor.
