Here is the repair plan after a car stalls in water: Slow down or stop to observe: As long as the water level reaches two-thirds of the bumper or tires, there is a certain danger in continuing to drive through water. If observation shows a high water level, try to detour and avoid forcing passage. Keep the engine off: Do not start the engine immediately. Instead, take measures to tow the car to a safe location with less water as soon as possible. Otherwise, it may cause deformation of important components such as the engine crankshaft and connecting rod, leading to engine shaking or even component breakage in severe cases. Remove moisture from brake pads: Especially for cars with drum brakes, as failure to do so may result in loss of braking after driving through water, causing serious danger or accidents. The specific operation is to drive at low speed while pressing the accelerator and lightly applying the brakes, ensuring the speed remains slow. Go to a repair shop: The car owner should promptly arrange for the car to be handed over to a repair station and have it inspected and repaired.

Where to Collect the Annual Inspection Sticker for a New Car?

New car owners can collect the annual inspection sticker at the vehicle management office. Here are some important points to note when collecting the annual inspection sticker: 1. Bring all required materials: Bring the duplicate copy of the compulsory traffic insurance (provided by the insurance company when purchasing insurance, usually an A4 sheet), the vehicle license (make one copy), and a copy of your ID card (or the agent's ID card) to the traffic police department service hall. Fill out a form, submit the vehicle license and ID card copy, and the motor vehicle inspection qualification sticker will be issued shortly. 2. Important notes: (1) If the original third copy of the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate is lost, you can submit a copy of any other copy with the insurance company's seal. If the original was already archived during the last inspection sticker issuance, submit a copy of any other copy. (2) If someone is handling this on your behalf, they must also provide their original ID card and a copy, along with a power of attorney.

How to Deal with Abandoned Vehicles in Beijing?

Abandoned vehicles in Beijing can be reported to the police. After towing the abandoned vehicles, the traffic police department will promptly contact and notify the vehicle owners, and handle the following four types of abandoned vehicle situations according to the law: 1. Handling of assembled or scrapped vehicles: According to Article 100, Paragraph 1 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the vehicles will be detained, confiscated, and forcibly scrapped. 2. Handling of vehicles involved in theft or other cases: If the vehicle is found to be involved in theft, stolen goods, or other illegal activities through the national stolen vehicle database, it will be detained, properly registered, and handed over to the relevant authorities for processing. 3. Handling of vehicles suspected of other road traffic safety violations: By querying and comparing the vehicle information system, if the vehicle is confirmed to have fake license plates, overdue safety inspections, etc., the vehicle owner or manager will be notified by phone or public notice to accept processing within a specified time limit. During the process, relevant circumstances will be investigated, and corresponding penalties will be imposed. 4. If the party fails to accept processing within the time limit: According to Article 112 of the Road Traffic Safety Law and other relevant regulations, a public announcement will be made.

How to Replace Summer Windshield Washer Fluid in Winter?

Here are the precautions for replacing summer and winter windshield washer fluids: 1. If it's the same brand of washer fluid: There's no need to spray out the summer washer fluid; you can directly add the winter washer fluid, as they can be mixed. 2. If it's not the same brand: First, completely drain the summer washer fluid before pouring in the winter washer fluid. Different brands of washer fluids contain different ingredients, and some may react, forming sediment that can clog the spray nozzles, eventually preventing any fluid from being sprayed. To remove the summer washer fluid, simply hold down the washer fluid spray button. If your vehicle has a headlight cleaning function, using it will quickly drain the washer fluid. 3. Adding winter washer fluid: Open the engine hood, locate the filler cap with the washer fluid symbol (usually a blue cap), open it, and pour in the winter washer fluid. 4. Do not continuously spray washer fluid with the engine off: The washer pump consumes a significant amount of power. Continuously using the washer with the engine off can quickly drain the battery. Therefore, do not turn off the engine when replacing the washer fluid.

Can a Car Be Charged by Idling in Place?

Idling in place can charge a car and will not harm the vehicle, but it is important to avoid using power-consuming devices in the car during charging. Below is more information about idling in place: 1. Precautions: If the car is parked for a week, idling in place for 10 minutes can ensure sufficient battery charge. If the car is parked for more than 20 days, idling in place for 20 to 30 minutes is more reliable. 2. Brief Description: Idling in place refers to a working condition where the engine runs without load and the gear is in neutral, meaning "working without output," consuming fuel while the car remains stationary.

Why Do Lithium-ion Batteries Degrade?

Here are the reasons for the degradation of lithium-ion batteries: 1. Structural changes in cathode materials: The cathode material is a critical component of lithium-ion batteries. When lithium ions are removed from the cathode, to maintain the material's electrically neutral state, metal elements will inevitably oxidize to higher oxidation states, accompanied by changes in composition. This transformation can easily lead to phase transitions and alterations in the bulk structure. The phase change of the electrode material causes variations in lattice parameters and lattice mismatch, inducing stress that results in grain fracture and crack propagation within the material. This mechanical damage to the material structure ultimately leads to the decline in the electrochemical performance of the lithium-ion battery. 2. Structure of anode materials: Carbon materials and lithium titanate are commonly used in commercial lithium-ion batteries. Taking the typical anode graphite as an example, the capacity degradation of lithium-ion batteries first appears during the formation stage, where the SEI (Solid Electrolyte Interphase) consumes some lithium ions on the anode surface.
