What is the safe wading depth for vehicles?

1 Answers

For most vehicles, it is advisable not to exceed a water depth of 30cm, which is roughly half the height of a wheel. As for the critical air intake system, the general safe height is around 70cm. Additionally, if your vehicle stalls during wading, never attempt to restart it immediately, as this can cause severe engine damage. Importantly, insurance companies will not cover damages resulting from such restart attempts. Below are the essential insurances to purchase after buying a car: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: Mandated by law, failure to purchase may result in fines if caught by traffic police. This insurance offers limited coverage, primarily for third-party damages, not your own vehicle. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Covers compensation for injuries or deaths caused to third parties by the policyholder. It's a must-have for both personal and third-party protection. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Compensates for losses due to natural disasters or accidents affecting your vehicle, highly recommended for new drivers. 4. No-Deductible Insurance: An add-on that transfers the policyholder's liability to the insurance company, minimizing personal losses. It's advisable to purchase this alongside Vehicle Damage and Third-Party Liability Insurance.

How to Determine When Your Car Needs Maintenance

If your car exhibits symptoms such as sluggish acceleration, reduced air conditioning airflow, and difficulty starting, it indicates that maintenance is required. Here is relevant information about car maintenance: 1. First Maintenance: Some manufacturers set the first maintenance based on time or mileage. The exact timing should be referred to the vehicle's user manual or warranty manual. The first maintenance is crucial and free, so be sure to remember to do it to avoid missing it, which could affect the car's third maintenance. 2. Maintenance Items: Main car maintenance items include replacing engine oil, oil filters, transmission fluid, spark plugs, air conditioning filters, air filters, brake fluid, etc. However, not all items need to be replaced during every maintenance session; it depends on their service life. Additionally, maintenance involves the inspection and upkeep of dozens of items across multiple systems, including the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires.

What does the service brake system mean?

Brake system is a series of specialized devices that can forcibly reduce the driving speed of a vehicle. The brake system is mainly composed of four parts: energy supply device, control device, transmission device, and brake. The main functions of the brake system are to slow down or even stop a moving vehicle, maintain a stable speed for a vehicle going downhill, and keep a stationary vehicle from moving. Classification of brake systems: The brake system used to slow down or even stop a moving vehicle is called the service brake system; the brake system used to keep a stationary vehicle in place is called the parking brake system; the brake system that ensures the vehicle can still slow down or stop when the service brake system fails is called the emergency brake system; the brake system that assists the service brake system in reducing or maintaining speed during driving, but cannot stop the vehicle urgently, is called the auxiliary brake system. During driving, the service brake (foot brake) is generally used to facilitate slowing down and stopping while moving forward, not just to keep the vehicle stationary. The parking brake is only used when the service brake fails. After the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the parking brake (hand brake) should be used to prevent the vehicle from sliding forward or rolling backward.

Can I Add 95 Octane Gasoline After Using 92 Octane?

You can add 95 octane gasoline after using 92 octane, but it's not recommended to mix them for extended periods. The reasons are as follows: 1. Prolonged mixing of different octane ratings may affect the lifespan of your car's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs, potentially advancing the need for major repairs. It's advised to avoid mixing unless absolutely necessary. 2. Adding 95 octane to a car that normally uses 92 octane generally won't cause problems, but doing the reverse may lead to vehicle damage. Using lower octane gasoline than recommended may cause engine knocking, and in severe cases, could result in bent valves or damage to the valve cover.

What to Pay Attention to When Inspecting a New Car?

Precautions mainly include two parts: vehicle inspection and document verification. The details are as follows: 1. Check the exterior for any scratches or noticeable color differences on the paint. Inspect the working condition of various functional components inside the car, such as the audio system, air conditioning, and lights. 2. Check the tires for the presence of tread hairs. Verify that all vehicle documents are complete, including the purchase invoice, vehicle certificate of conformity, three-guarantee certificate, and user manual. 3. Inspect the paint surface, with particular attention to the uniformity and smoothness of panel gaps. It is best to compare two cars of the same model—the gaps between doors, bumpers, and the engine hood should be roughly the same. If the gaps are too large or differ significantly from other cars, there may be a possibility of post-manufacturing repairs.

Can an IV Drip Clean Carbon Deposits?

An IV drip can clean carbon deposits. More information about carbon deposits is as follows: 1. Carbon deposits are a manifestation of abnormal discharge processing in spark machines. From a general engine diagram, it can be clearly seen that the source of power—the air-fuel mixture—must pass through the intake valve to enter the combustion chamber; 2. A small portion of gasoline will adhere to the intake valve. When exposed to the high temperature of the engine, the hydrocarbons, paraffin, and colloids in the gasoline that cannot be completely burned will be turned into carbon deposits. If the fuel injector is fouled, the atomization state of the sprayed gasoline will be poor, leading to uneven mixing of gasoline and air, which increases the amount of gasoline that condenses on the intake valve.

When Does the Fan Behind the Car Radiator Start Running?

Currently, whether the fan operates is primarily determined by the coolant temperature. If the temperature is not high, the fan does not run upon startup. More details are as follows: 1. After idling the car, if the radiator fan does not spin even when revving the engine in neutral, this is normal. However, if the fan still does not operate after driving when the coolant temperature rises and the car is stationary, this indicates an issue, typically a faulty thermostat. 2. One type of radiator fan is directly driven by a pulley, meaning it runs whenever the engine is operating. The drawback of this design is that the fan operates even under low-temperature conditions, which hinders the engine from quickly reaching its optimal working temperature. 3. The mainstream design nowadays employs an electromagnetic fan, which only engages and starts running when the engine reaches a certain temperature. Therefore, the fan generally does not operate immediately after starting the car.
