Different categories of indicator lights have the following meanings: 1. Battery Indicator Light: This light indicates the working status of the battery. It turns on when the ignition is activated and turns off after the engine starts. If it does not light up or remains on continuously, the generator and circuit should be checked immediately. 2. Fuel Indicator Light: This light warns of low fuel. When it illuminates, it means the fuel is nearly depleted. Generally, the vehicle can still travel approximately 50 kilometers from the time the light comes on until the fuel runs out. 3. Washer Fluid Indicator Light: This light shows the level of the windshield washer fluid. If the fluid is about to run out, the light will turn on, reminding the owner to refill the washer fluid promptly. After adding the fluid, the light will turn off. 4. Electronic Throttle Control (EPC) Indicator Light: Commonly found in Volkswagen models, this light illuminates for a few seconds during the vehicle's self-check when starting up and then turns off. If a fault occurs, the light will stay on, indicating that maintenance is required. 5. Front and Rear Fog Light Indicator Lights: These lights indicate the operational status of the front and rear fog lights. When the fog lights are turned on, both lights illuminate. In the diagram, the left light represents the front fog light, and the right light represents the rear fog light.

Can a Lead-Acid Battery Still Be Used After Being Soaked in Water?

Lead-acid batteries can still function after being soaked in water because the interior of the battery relies on distilled water for operation. Below are relevant details: 1. Hazards: Soaking in water for about half an hour generally won't cause issues, but prolonged exposure can pose certain risks. If the exposure exceeds the battery's tolerance limit, the 'three-electric' system may be damaged, leading to potentially severe consequences. Immediate professional assistance should be sought in such cases. 2. Low-Voltage System: In the electrical circuit system of electric vehicles, the 'low-voltage system,' similar to that in traditional fuel-powered vehicles, does not have sustainable water-wading capability. With a waterproof rating ≤ IPX5, if wires or the ECU are submerged in water for an extended period, water ingress may occur, causing short circuits in the low-voltage circuit.

What are the reasons for 4S stores delaying license plate registration?

Here is a detailed introduction to the reasons why 4S stores delay license plate registration: 1. Interest-related: After paying a deposit, the car should be delivered. However, if someone offers a higher price, the 4S store may prioritize selling the car to the higher bidder. 2. Supply shortage: For some popular models, the 4S store may have no inventory and needs to order from the manufacturer before delivery. If the manufacturer's production capacity cannot keep up, the car pickup time will be extended. There is also a possibility of intentionally delaying the pickup time to create a false impression of high demand and raise the car price. 3. Certificate redemption: 4S stores need to advance the car price to the manufacturer to obtain the vehicle. Therefore, some smaller stores may pledge the new car's certificate of conformity to the bank for a loan. After the car is sold, the 4S store uses the proceeds to redeem the certificate from the bank. The time consumed during this process can delay the car pickup time.

Will a Car Explode After Catching Fire?

If a fire starts near the fuel tank, it can lead to an explosion. A burning car's fuel tank will not explode unless there is a confined space. It takes approximately 7 minutes for the entire chassis of the car to fully catch fire. The tires cannot withstand such high temperatures and begin to burst. The force of a tire explosion can be quite frightening, ejecting multiple small flaming fragments. Explosive Reaction: An explosive reaction refers to a reaction where the reaction rate becomes infinitely high. Certain reactions can lead to explosions when their speed reaches a certain level. Causes: Explosions can occur due to two main reasons: One is when, within a confined space, the heat generated by the reaction cannot dissipate quickly enough, causing a significant rise in temperature. This temperature increase further accelerates the reaction rate, releasing even more heat in a short period. These factors interact, pushing the reaction to an explosive level. Such an explosion is called a thermal explosion.
