When driving through waterlogged roads, the following points should be noted: 1. Do not drive directly through the water; 2. Be aware of the safe wading depth of your vehicle model; 3. Before entering the water, observe the route and speed of the vehicle ahead; 4. Do not restart the engine after it stalls. The method for driving through waterlogged roads is: 1. Get out of the car and observe the water conditions; 2. Reduce speed and proceed at a steady pace in low gear; 3. Keep the steering wheel steady and avoid frequent adjustments; 4. Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles; 5. If the car stalls in the water, do not repeatedly attempt to start it; shift to neutral and have someone push the car forward; 6. After safely passing through the waterlogged road, press the brake several times.

What are the consequences of not wearing a seatbelt while driving on the highway?

Driving on the highway without wearing a seatbelt will result in a fine and 2 penalty points. The regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law and precautions for wearing a seatbelt are as follows: Road Traffic Safety Law regulations: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, when a motor vehicle is in motion, the passenger in the front seat should also wear a seatbelt. The requirement for front-seat passengers to wear seatbelts has been clearly stipulated in the old traffic regulations. Any front-seat passenger not wearing a seatbelt can be fined by the traffic police on duty. Precautions for wearing a seatbelt: The lap belt should be fastened snugly across the hips, just touching the thigh bones. In the event of a collision, the force will be applied to the pelvic bones, preventing the seatbelt from tightening across the abdomen and causing serious injuries.

Reasons for Start-Stop System Malfunctions?

Engine start-stop system malfunctions can be caused by issues with the starting system and wiring, faults in the engine electronic control system, or problems with the anti-theft system. It is recommended to immediately contact a 4S dealership for inspection and repair. Below is an introduction to the automatic start-stop function: Automatic Start-Stop Function Introduction: The automatic start-stop system is designed to automatically shut off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (e.g., at a red light) and restart it when it's time to move forward again. Purpose of the Automatic Start-Stop Function: It is used during low-speed driving and frequent stops, automatically turning off the engine to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption. It also reduces the vehicle's idle time, which in turn minimizes engine carbon buildup.

Where is the Low Beam Light Switch Located?

The high/low beam light switch is typically located on the control lever on the lower left side of the steering wheel. Here are the relevant details: 1. Function: When driving on urban roads, highways while following other vehicles, or on well-lit road sections, the low beam lights can be turned on. This serves two purposes: first, it allows other drivers to see your vehicle, preventing rear-end collisions, and second, it enhances your own visibility. 2. Illumination Range: The high/low beam icons are represented by a lamp head with ray graphics—horizontal rays indicate high beams, while diagonal rays indicate low beams. Low beam lights project light downward, covering a distance of 12-18 meters in front of the vehicle with a distinct cutoff line between light and dark. Beyond this line, in an area of 30-40 meters, the illumination relies on ground-reflected light, allowing the identification of brightly colored objects within this range.

What is the difference between a flooded car and a water-damaged car?

Here is the relevant introduction to the difference between a flooded car and a water-damaged car: Water-damaged car: A water-damaged car refers to a vehicle that has been submerged in water. Based on the extent of damage, it can be divided into three categories. The first type is when the vehicle's tires are submerged, and water enters the interior. The second type is when the water level exceeds the dashboard. The third type is when the vehicle is completely submerged, exceeding the roof. Flooded car: A flooded car refers to a vehicle that has been driven on low-lying, waterlogged roads, typically occurring during heavy rain when drainage systems are poor, leading to water accumulation on the road. Water-damaged cars, especially those submerged for extended periods, can suffer significant damage to electrical circuits and equipment.

What Are the Reasons for Excessive Consumption of Car Antifreeze?

Car antifreeze can be consumed too quickly due to leaks, damaged cylinder gaskets, aging seals, etc. Here are the specific details: Leaks: Loose or poorly sealed pipe fittings in the cooling system can cause antifreeze leakage, leading to excessive consumption. Damaged Cylinder Gasket: A damaged cylinder gasket allows antifreeze to flow into the cylinders, where it burns off, or into the oil pan, resulting in rapid antifreeze loss. Aging Seals: An aging radiator cap seal can cause antifreeze to deplete too quickly. Here’s some additional knowledge about antifreeze: If antifreeze is insufficient, the engine is prone to "boiling over" during high-speed operation, and the viscosity of the engine oil will decrease. Over time, this can wear down the engine and shorten its lifespan.

Will Water Enter the Car if It Submerges Above the Door?

Water will enter the car if it submerges above the door, but the process is relatively slow. Here are the details: Water ingress speed: When a vehicle is submerged, water will gradually seep in. The interior is temporarily a sealed space, so as long as the doors remain closed, the water ingress will be slow—unless the water level exceeds 50% of the door's steel panel height. The higher the pressure, the faster the water will enter. Of course, the actual speed also depends on the depth of submersion and the duration. Precautions: During heavy rainstorms, turn on all vehicle lights to ensure other drivers can see your car, reducing the risk of collisions. Try not to exceed 40 km/h. Wet roads in heavy rain are usually slippery, making it easier for the vehicle to lose control. Always hold the steering wheel with both hands, maintaining a straight and slow driving speed.
