It may be due to water entering the vehicle, causing bent valves and connecting rods, stuck pistons, severe cylinder wear, bent crankshaft, etc. Below are the relevant details: 1. Solution for waterlogged vehicles: The car needs to be taken to a repair shop where professional mechanics will conduct a thorough inspection. This is the safest and most reliable method. 2. Insurance coverage: If the owner has purchased the relevant insurance, when the engine components are damaged due to driving through water or being submerged, the insurance company will provide compensation according to the policy terms.

What is a Keyless Start System?

A keyless start system (Keyless-Start-System) allows the vehicle to be started without physically using the key. Simply keep the key in your bag or pocket, then press a button inside the car or turn the ignition knob to start the engine. This system utilizes advanced Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, automatically unlocking and locking doors via the chip embedded in the smart key. Below are details about the keyless start system's functions: 1. Locking/Unlocking Doors: When the key is within the effective detection range of about 1.5 meters from the driver's door, the key chip's ID automatically matches the engine's ID. Upon successful pairing, the car doors unlock without requiring the key. When the driver leaves the vehicle, the doors automatically lock and activate the anti-theft system. If the smart key's battery is depleted, the door handle features a touch-sensitive button and a traditional keyhole as a backup. 2. Starting/Stopping the Vehicle: Upon entering the car, the onboard detection system recognizes the smart key. After verification, the vehicle's computer activates, allowing the engine to start by pressing the one-touch start button (or turning the knob). To stop the engine, simply press the start button (or knob) again after the vehicle comes to a complete halt.

Is Fender Soundproofing Effective?

Fender soundproofing has minimal effect, but fender liner soundproofing is effective. Below the fender, above the wheel, there is a black plastic piece called the fender liner. This component prevents mud, water, or stones kicked up by the tires from entering the engine compartment. Many high-end luxury cars have some soundproofing design in their fender liners. When driving, most of the noise comes from wind and tire noise. If the car has a high drag coefficient, wind noise will be more noticeable at high speeds. To reduce noise, you can also install door soundproofing foam, which can block most of the noise.

What are the front and rear position lights on a vehicle?

Front and rear position lights on a vehicle refer to the lights that indicate the vehicle's position, also known as width marker lights. When illuminated, they outline the vehicle's silhouette. These lights are primarily used during dusk, overcast days, or in rainy/foggy conditions to display the vehicle's width and height, helping other drivers judge relative positions and vehicle dimensions during passing or overtaking maneuvers. Typically, position lights are white at the front and red at the rear. Other commonly used vehicle lights include: 1. Headlights - installed on both sides of the vehicle front for road illumination during nighttime driving; 2. Turn signals - activated when changing direction to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians.

Should the front windshield film be applied on the inside or outside of the car?

Front windshield films are always applied on the inside. If applied on the outside, exposure to wind and rain would reduce its lifespan by at least two-thirds. Moreover, if applied externally, glass fragments from impact could still injure people, failing to serve the purpose of explosion-proof film. Car window tinting refers to applying a thin film material (also called solar film or heat insulation film) on the front/rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof. The primary functions of car window films include: blocking UV rays, reducing heat transmission, preventing injuries from glass shattering, reducing glare, and protecting personal privacy through the one-way visibility feature of solar films.

What Causes Car Turn Signal Failure?

The reason for a car's turn signal staying on continuously is due to issues with the relay or wiring connections. The solution can be to replace the relay's fuse or check the connecting wires. The turn signal is a very important set of lights in a car, as it alerts surrounding vehicles and pedestrians, thereby enhancing driving safety. Below are the relevant instructions for using turn signals: 1. When driving to a flat intersection, depending on the width of the road, the flow of traffic, and the car's speed, turn on the turn signal at a distance of 15 to 30 meters from the intersection, neither too early nor too late. 2. At a roundabout, switch the direction of the turn signal promptly based on the car's direction of travel. 3. If you want to change lanes, first turn on the turn signal, then check the rearview mirror to see if the adjacent lane meets the conditions for changing lanes, and be mindful of oncoming traffic from behind.

What Causes the Car to Shake After Starting?

There are three main reasons why a car shakes after starting: 1. Low ignition energy: The first issue a car faces during a cold start is low temperature. The engine's internal temperature is insufficient, and both fuel and lubricant temperatures are low. Therefore, more fuel needs to be injected during a cold start to meet power requirements. The larger the spark plug gap, the lower the ignition energy. Poor fuel atomization at low temperatures requires higher ignition energy. Over time, the spark plug's ignition gap tends to widen, reducing ignition energy and affecting performance, causing the car to shake. 2. Carbon buildup on valves and intake passages: If carbon accumulates on the engine's valves and intake passages, it absorbs some fuel, leading to ECU miscalculations. For example, if the ECU controls the injection of 100 units of air-fuel mixture but only 90 units enter the cylinder, even complete combustion of these 90 units won't achieve the required power, resulting in shaking. 3. Incorrect air-fuel ratio: Inaccurate air-fuel mixture ratios can occur in both open-loop and closed-loop control systems. In closed-loop control vehicles, the oxygen sensor's minimum operating temperature is 370°C. If the exhaust pipe temperature doesn't reach 370°C upon starting, the oxygen sensor won't function. This causes the ECU to make errors in controlling the air-fuel mixture and ignition timing, reducing the car's power output and causing shaking.
