If the car stalls in water and attempts a second start, it is recommended to immediately call the insurance company's tow truck to have the car towed away and then take it to a 4S shop for repairs. It is important to note that if you have purchased water-related insurance, the insurance company will not cover the costs if you attempt a second ignition after stalling in water. The correct steps to take when a car stalls in water are: 1. Stay calm and turn off the ignition switch; 2. Remove the negative terminal of the battery to prevent short circuits in the vehicle's electrical systems due to water ingress; 3. Move the vehicle to a safe location; 4. Check whether water has entered the engine cylinders; 5. Inspect the condition of the fluids in the vehicle's various systems; 6. Clean the fuse box, sensor connectors, and areas where water has accumulated on the body.

What car is Erdan?

Powertrain: The vehicle currently uses the 4A91T series 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 136 HP and a peak torque of 200 N·m, which is significantly better than the previous 2.0L engine. It is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, and the vehicle weighs over 1.6 tons. The official top speed is 115 km/h, similar to the previous 2.0L model. However, in practical driving, when the engine speed exceeds 2000 RPM and the turbo kicks in, the overall acceleration feel is noticeably improved. Chassis Design: The chassis is one of the most significant changes in the 2020 model. The 2020 BJ212 still features a body-on-frame structure, with part-time four-wheel drive (4WD) that includes low-range gearing but lacks a differential lock. The suspension setup has been updated to a front double-wishbone independent suspension and a rear four-link non-independent suspension.

Which Tires Have Low Noise?

Tire brands with low noise include: Michelin, Continental, Dunlop, Goodyear, Pirelli, etc. Concept of tire noise: When a vehicle is driving at high speed, the friction between the tires and the road surface generates noise, the level of which depends on road conditions, vehicle conditions, and vehicle type. For example, the worse the road condition, the louder the tire noise. Additionally, there is a significant difference between the noise generated on asphalt roads and concrete roads. Introduction to tires: Tires are composed of three parts: the outer tire, the inner tube, and the bead. The inner layer of the tire has a rubber layer with excellent air tightness. Tires are gradually developing towards lightweight. The outer tire mainly consists of the carcass buffer, tread, sidewall, and bead, among which the carcass and bead form the force-bearing structure of the vehicle's pneumatic tires.
