The electricity in a car comes from the car's battery and the car's alternator. Below is an introduction to the function and working principle of the car battery: Function: The car battery primarily serves the function of storing electrical energy. The alternator generates electricity for the car's use, and any excess electricity flows into the battery for storage. When the vehicle is turned off, some electronic components rely on the battery for power. The car's engine requires gasoline to operate, as gasoline is the fuel for the engine, and the alternator itself does not consume gasoline. Working Principle: The working principle of the battery is to convert chemical energy into electrical energy.

Will the car get flooded in heavy rain?

Heavy rain will not flood the car. Here is the relevant information: 1. Waterlogged sections: If the engine stalls during vehicle wading, immediately turn on the hazard lights, shut off the engine, and turn off the ignition. Never attempt to restart the engine, as doing so can easily cause fatal damage to the engine and will not be covered by insurance. 2. When stationary: If the vehicle is submerged while parked in a basement or parking lot, lock the vehicle and do not attempt to start the engine. Try to seal the vehicle as much as possible and do not remain inside the flooded car. After the vehicle is submerged and the engine stalls, the interior becomes the most unsafe. If the water level rises rapidly and the doors cannot be opened or closed, passengers may become trapped inside and suffocate after the vehicle loses power.

What does the key-shaped icon on the car dashboard indicate?

The key-shaped icon on the car dashboard is the key status indicator (keyout indicator). When this indicator lights up, it means the smart key is not inside the vehicle or is outside the effective range. Here’s an explanation of the keyout indicator: 1. The car’s smart key is either not inside the vehicle or is too far away, exceeding the specified distance range. 2. The key’s battery is low, resulting in a weak signal that cannot be detected. 3. The smart key system or wireless module is damaged or malfunctioning. The car smart key is a common keyless entry system, also known as the smart key system. It consists of a transmitter, a remote central locking control module, a driving authorization system control module (three receivers), and related wiring harnesses that form the control system.
