The wading depth of the Raptor is 500mm. The wading depth of the Raptor is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the vehicle's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact cars and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Raptor is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth should not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before wading, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the vehicle from automatically restarting after stalling in water, which could cause severe damage to the engine due to water intake; Judge the underwater road conditions based on the passage of preceding vehicles and choose a suitable entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration; On roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, and reference points such as the wheels and doors of other vehicles to estimate the water depth before deciding whether to proceed; Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire height or the engine's air intake, do not proceed recklessly and consider alternative routes.

Is it necessary to repair scratches on the front bumper?

Repairing scratches on the front bumper is necessary if they affect the vehicle's appearance; otherwise, it may not be needed. The bumper is a plastic component, and scratches can damage the paint, exposing the black plastic underneath, which indeed affects the car's aesthetics. If the bumper is scratched, it's advisable to have it repainted at a 4S shop. The primary function of the bumper is to protect pedestrians. As vulnerable road users, plastic bumpers help mitigate the impact on a pedestrian's legs, especially the lower legs, and, combined with the bumper's design, reduce the severity of injuries in case of a collision. Additionally, bumpers serve as safety devices that absorb and lessen external impacts, protecting the front and rear parts of the vehicle.

What does it mean to take a wide turn while driving?

This wide turn and small turn refer to the turning radius. The right turn has a smaller radius, while the left turn has a larger radius. Alternatively, it can be described in terms of the turning path—the left turn covers a longer path, and the right turn covers a shorter one. The purpose of taking a wide turn while driving: Vehicles are required to take a wide left turn and a small right turn to ensure traffic safety and avoid collisions with non-motorized vehicles. Small right turn: When making a right turn, vehicles should take a small turn because a larger turning radius would interfere with straight-moving vehicles. Additionally, when turning right, without affecting straight-moving vehicles, the turn should lead into the rightmost lane. If the turn ends up in the middle or leftmost lane, it would disrupt traffic in other lanes.

How old can the production date of new car tires be?

New car tires should not be older than 3 years from their production date. Below are specific details about tires: 1. Definition of stock tires: Tires that have been in storage for more than 1 year after production are considered stock tires. However, this also depends on the tire's lifespan. Typically, all-season or economy tires have a lifespan of 3-5 years, with a mileage of around 50,000 kilometers. 2. Checking the tire production date: To find out the production date of a tire, you need to understand how to read the production date marked on the tire. The production date can usually be found on the sidewall of the tire, represented by a four-digit number. The date is part of a series of alphanumeric characters starting with DOT, where the last four digits indicate the production date. The first two digits represent the production week, and the last two digits represent the production year.

Can I Install the License Plate Myself?

Vehicle owners can install the license plate themselves. The vehicle management office usually provides a set of fasteners with the license plate, but the set only includes 4 fasteners. Unless restricted by vehicle conditions, all 4 mounting holes on each license plate should be equipped with fasteners, so you may need to purchase an additional set. Below are the specific details about license plates: 1. Definition: A license plate, commonly referred to as a vehicle plate, is a panel mounted on the front and rear of a vehicle. It is typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, and displays the vehicle's registration number, registration region, and other relevant information. 2. Function: The license plate serves as a unique identifier and registration record for each vehicle. Its primary purpose is to indicate the vehicle's registered region and enable the tracing of the vehicle's owner and registration details through the license plate number.
