Sunshades are effective, but dashboard mats placed on the dashboard can interfere with the normal deployment of car airbags, leading to very serious consequences. The following are the functions of sunshades: Protect the dashboard: Shield the dashboard from direct sunlight to prevent cracks and aging damage. The dashboard won't overheat, and it also helps lower the interior temperature, indirectly improving the efficiency of the car's air conditioning. Prevent glare reflection: During the day, prevent glare reflection, reduce sunlight refraction on the windshield, minimize glare, and create a clear driving view. Avoid light refraction at night: To prevent light refraction, reduce blind spots caused by roadside lights reflecting off the dashboard onto the windshield.

As someone who loves driving, I often encounter flood issues during the rainy season, and flood prevention equipment has been a great help. A snorkel is essential—it raises the engine's air intake pipe to prevent water from entering and damaging the engine, especially when water levels exceed the wheel height. A lift kit for the chassis is also practical, increasing ground clearance and making the car less prone to flooding. I've added waterproof seals around the doors and hood to keep water from seeping into the cabin. For the electrical components, I use waterproof boxes to cover the battery and electronic control units to avoid short circuits. Inside the car, a simple yet effective feature is the drain plug, which can be manually removed to let accumulated water flow out. Additionally, I recommend checking tire pressure in advance if you're in a flood-prone area—proper pressure ensures stable driving in water. Overall, these small investments in equipment save you from costly repairs, enhance safety, and provide peace of mind while driving.

For the safety of my family, I pay special attention to flood prevention measures for cars. The equipment list is simple: a snorkel protects the engine to avoid water ingress and stalling; a lift kit raises the chassis to keep the body further from the water surface, reducing the risk of flooding. Sealant strips are applied to door gaps and the trunk to block water entry. Electrical devices are covered with waterproof covers to prevent circuits from getting wet and causing malfunctions. A tire pressure monitoring system can promptly display pressure changes in deep water, helping to control the vehicle. If possible, installing an automatic drainage system is more convenient. Regular maintenance checks on these items are essential—don’t wait until a flood arrives to regret neglecting them, especially during flood-prone seasons when periodic upkeep is crucial. This way, the car becomes more durable, and you won’t have to fear unexpected situations when heading out.

Is it necessary to purchase auto theft insurance for sedans?

Theft insurance can be purchased based on individual needs. If the vehicle itself is of high value and has excellent anti-theft technology, it is generally not necessary to buy. The following three types of car owners are usually advised to purchase theft insurance: 1. New car owners, as stolen vehicles are often dismantled and sold, resulting in significant losses even if recovered; 2. Owners who do not have a fixed garage or frequently travel on business, usually parking in open parking lots or older residential areas without surveillance; 3. Owners of vehicles that are prone to theft, such as the Wuling series, Changan series, etc.

Can Automatic Transmission Cars Stall?

Automatic transmission cars can also stall. Here are the reasons for automatic transmission stalling: 1. Using inferior fuel: Some gas stations sell impure fuel for excessive profits. Prolonged use of low-quality fuel can lead to excessive carbon deposits in the engine, making the car prone to stalling; 2. Clogged fuel lines: Blocked fuel lines are another major cause of stalling, often due to poor fuel quality containing excessive gum deposits that obstruct fuel flow; 3. Insufficient driving skills: Inadequate driving proficiency is another significant factor causing stalling, though this typically applies to novice drivers.
