It is necessary to inspect the exhaust system and engine oil. Also check the spark ignition system and test cylinder pressure. Below is relevant information about flooded cars: 1. Severity: The severity of a flooded car depends on the water submersion height and whether the vehicle was started while submerged. 2. Under seats: If the water only reached below the seats (this height hasn't reached the vehicle's air intake position, nor the fuse box or dashboard position), the impact on the vehicle is relatively minor after thorough cleaning. 3. Cleaning: During cleaning, transmission fluid, engine oil, and brake fluid need to be replaced. Additionally, maintenance should be performed on the vehicle's braking system, exhaust pipe, and catalytic converter to further minimize the impact of flooding on subsequent vehicle usage.

Will the Tang DMI have four-wheel drive in the later stage?

The Tang DMI is unlikely to have four-wheel drive in the later stage. The positioning of the Tang DMI and DM is very clear, with DMI focusing on ultimate fuel efficiency. Product Advantages: The DMI has several advantages that are ahead of other hybrid technologies, and its "core philosophy" is to prioritize electricity and use gasoline as a supplement. In terms of architecture, the DM-i super hybrid is based on a large-capacity battery and high-power motor, and the vehicle relies on the high-power motor for driving during operation. Main Functions: The main function of the gasoline engine is to charge the battery, and it only directly drives when more power is needed, and even then, it works in coordination with the motor to reduce the load. This hybrid technology is different from traditional hybrid technologies that rely on the engine, thus enabling more effective fuel consumption reduction.
