Electric vehicles are structurally composed of three electric systems, among others, and their power is driven by electricity. The following are precautions for using electric vehicles during the rainy season. 1. Driving in the rainy season inevitably involves wading through water. Pay attention to the vehicle's wading depth and road conditions. Unlike traditional fuel vehicles, the chassis of an electric vehicle is mostly composed of battery packs and circuits. Prolonged contact with water can cause the battery protection system to automatically cut off power. 2. When driving an electric vehicle in the rainy season, be mindful of the wading position of the vehicle's chassis and make a pre-judgment of water depth. Normally, an electric vehicle can drive safely in water up to half the vehicle's height. If the water depth exceeds half a meter, it is advisable to detour. Although electric vehicles have a high waterproof rating, there is still some impact on the electrical components inside the vehicle. 3. When wading through water in the rainy season, maintain a steady speed and pass through the waterlogged section as quickly as possible. If the vehicle stalls, do not attempt to restart it randomly. Instead, turn off the power and notify professional maintenance and rescue personnel. 4. Visibility is poor when driving in the rain. Observe the movements of cars and pedestrians on the road and maintain a sufficient safety distance to prevent traffic accidents. Use fog lights when necessary.

What Are the Emergency Measures When a Tire Suddenly Bursts While Driving?

When encountering a sudden tire blowout while driving, the correct response is to firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands to maintain control of the direction, release the accelerator pedal, continue driving along the intended route, and then apply intermittent and forceful pressure on the brake pedal to decelerate until the vehicle comes to a smooth stop. It is crucial to avoid abruptly turning the steering wheel or applying emergency brakes at the moment of the blowout, as this can easily cause the vehicle to skid or overturn. Additional Information: 1. Front Tire Blowout: Since the front tires are responsible for steering, a blowout can significantly affect the vehicle's direction. Therefore, the first action when a front tire blows out is to firmly grip the steering wheel, stabilize the vehicle, and then gradually apply the brakes to pull over to the side of the road. During this process, avoid repeatedly jerking the steering wheel and refrain from slamming on the brakes. Once the vehicle is safely stopped, place a warning triangle behind the vehicle to prevent secondary accidents. 2. Rear Tire Blowout: Compared to a front tire blowout, a rear tire blowout is less dangerous. The driver should simply hold the steering wheel steady and then repeatedly press the brake pedal in a controlled manner. This shifts the vehicle's center of gravity forward, allowing the intact front tires to bear more of the load and reducing the pressure on the blown-out rear tire.

What Causes the Engine Malfunction Light to Stay On?

The engine malfunction light may stay on due to the following 7 main reasons: Sensor malfunction: The sensors mentioned here include coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, oxygen sensors, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or signal interruption, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will trigger the engine malfunction light. Fuel quality issues: If fuel and engine oil are not added according to the manufacturer's requirements, it may cause engine wear and trigger the malfunction light. Poor combustion of air-fuel mixture: Poor combustion can lead to engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the malfunction light will illuminate as a warning. Spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, fuel pump failure, and fuel line blockage can all cause poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Turbocharging issues: The intake turbocharging pipeline and turbocharger can also cause the engine malfunction light to illuminate. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, accompanied by symptoms such as oil leakage, high oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, and blue or black smoke from the exhaust pipe. Intake issues: If there is a problem with the car's intake, it may cause engine pipeline blockage, and in severe cases, trigger the engine malfunction light. A dirty air filter that is not cleaned regularly can lead to intake problems. Exhaust issues: Exhaust faults can also cause the engine malfunction light to illuminate. The rear oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, and bearing failures are all causes of exhaust problems, with the catalytic converter being the most common. Using leaded gasoline, lead or silicon-containing lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or faults in the engine fuel supply system can easily cause catalytic converter failure. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the car's electronic anti-theft system malfunctions or the anti-theft controller does not match the engine electronic controller, the anti-theft system can also prevent the engine from operating normally, while illuminating the engine malfunction light. If the engine malfunction light is on, follow these steps: First, check if the engine is running normally and if there are any issues such as shaking or smoke. If so, avoid restarting the engine. Especially note that you must not restart the engine if the red light is on. If the engine can be started, turn it off for 5-10 minutes, then without pressing the brake, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the 'on' position without depressing the clutch. The car will perform a self-check after powering on. Wait for 5-10 seconds and observe if the malfunction light on the dashboard turns off. If the malfunction light remains on, visit a service center as soon as possible to identify the cause. The service center can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault codes, obtain fault information, and perform targeted repairs.

How to Reduce Car Noise?

Methods to reduce car noise: 1. Before performing car sound insulation, first check the vehicle condition. Some noises are caused by the vehicle's own faults, such as abnormal tire pressure or irregular wear; 2. For engine noise, you can paste an advanced sound-absorbing foam acoustic material under the hood. This can not only absorb and consume a large amount of engine noise but also suppress hood vibration and block heat from the engine, protecting the car paint surface from high-temperature damage; 3. Use damping plates or specialized damping plates, sound-absorbing pads, and door sealing strips to comprehensively treat the fender, floor, and doors. This can improve tire and road noise from three sources: vibration reduction, sound absorption, and sound insulation.
