The reasons for water leakage from the car sunroof into the cabin are: blockage of the sunroof drainage pipe or poor sealing of the sunroof rubber gasket. It is recommended to check if the car sunroof has this issue. Additionally, the drainage pipe is divided into two sections. If the sunroof leaks into the cabin, it might be due to blockage causing water to seep into the cabin from the joint between the two sections. Other reasons for water leakage from the car sunroof into the cabin: 1. Rain entering through an unclosed window during rainy days. If the driver does not confirm whether the windows are tightly closed after exiting the vehicle, rainwater may drift into various parts of the car through the loosely closed windows. Over time, water will drip under the car's cabin. 2. Issues with the drainage outlets. After ruling out human factors, if water still drips under the car's cabin, the vehicle's drainage outlets should be checked. The car has four drainage outlets: the front two are for sunroof drainage, and the rear two are for draining water flowing on the car. 3. Long-term accumulation of debris blocking the drainage outlets, especially in vehicles with sunroofs, as opening the sunroof makes it easier for debris to accumulate and cause leaks.

Precautions for entering highways: The speed is generally required to be below 40km/h. Before entering the traffic lane, quickly accelerate to over 60km/h. Carefully observe the traffic conditions in the driving lane and choose the right moment to merge. The exact speed should comply with the speed limits indicated by signs.

What are the causes of unstable engine idle speed?

Engine idle speed instability causes: 1. Intake manifold or various valve leaks - When unwanted air, gasoline vapor, or combustion exhaust enters the intake manifold, causing the air-fuel mixture to become too rich or too lean, resulting in abnormal engine combustion; 2. Excessive carbon buildup on the throttle body and intake passages; 3. Inaccurate idle air intake volume; 4. Fuel injector dripping or clogging, preventing proper fuel injection according to ECU commands, causing mixture imbalance and poor cylinder operation leading to unstable idle; 5. Fuel pressure malfunction - Low pressure results in poor fuel atomization or stream-like injection (sometimes only droplets), reducing injection volume and creating a lean mixture. High pressure increases actual injection volume, creating a rich mixture.

What does SOS on a vehicle mean?

SOS on a vehicle is a safety device called the in-vehicle self-rescue system. It is an emergency system designed to quickly seek rescue assistance when the vehicle malfunctions, is involved in an accident, or encounters dangerous and sudden situations. In an emergency, pressing the SOS button for more than 2 seconds will automatically activate the in-vehicle connected system. The system, pre-installed by the manufacturer, can only use the connected system for emergency alerts and to locate the vehicle's position. The intelligent SOS in cars is a high-tech product integrating GSM intelligent alarm, GPS global positioning, and driving recording. It is not just a dashcam; during driving, if an emergency occurs, this intelligent device can automatically detect the severity of a collision via an acceleration sensor and initiate self-rescue through alarm signals within a short time.

Can I Seek Help from Insurance Company for a Flat Tire on the Highway?

You can seek help from an insurance company for a flat tire on the highway. However, insurance companies do not cover the loss of tires caused by flat tire incidents. Front Tire Blowout: Firmly hold the steering wheel, adjust the car's direction gently, avoid repeatedly jerking the steering wheel, and do not slam on the brakes. Wait for the vehicle's speed to gradually decrease before gently steering. Then, place a warning triangle behind the car to prevent secondary accidents. Rear Tire Blowout: The car will become unstable, generating a slight force that causes the car to lean toward the side of the blown-out tire. In this case, you should ease off the accelerator and downshift to bring the car to a slow stop. Since the rear tires do not have a steering function and generally bear less weight, a rear tire blowout is not very dangerous. Just hold the steering wheel steady.
