When driving in heavy rain, you should turn on the width marker lights, headlights, fog lights, and other vehicle lights. Fog Lights: Fog lights are installed near the headlights or slightly lower than the headlights. In conditions of low visibility such as fog, snow, heavy rain, or dust, fog lights serve to illuminate the road and provide signals to oncoming vehicles. The light is mostly yellow. Yellow light has a longer wavelength and good fog-penetrating properties. The bulb power is generally 35W. Width Marker Lights: Width marker lights on a car are the front and rear position lights. The clearance lights and width marker lights are quite similar. The position of the width marker lights varies depending on the vehicle model. On small cars, the width marker lights are commonly referred to as small lights. On larger vehicles, due to their size, the front and rear side lights are called width marker lights. On trucks, the width marker lights are commonly known as side lights.

What Causes Water to Come Out of a Car's Exhaust Pipe?

The reasons for water coming out of a car's exhaust pipe are: 1. After gasoline is completely burned, it forms water and carbon dioxide. Water produces steam at high temperatures, which is colorless and transparent. When the temperature drops below 100 degrees, the steam turns back into water; 2. When the ambient temperature is low, the white smoke emitted from the exhaust pipe is steam, which condenses and accumulates into water droplets. Methods for maintaining the exhaust pipe include: 1. Preventing muffler corrosion: Avoid water entering the muffler during car washing or driving in the rain. If water accidentally enters, start the engine and let it idle for 10 minutes to expel the accumulated water; 2. Preventing muffler discoloration: Clean the muffler surface promptly if it is covered with a large amount of mud or dirt to prevent affecting its heat dissipation.
