Insurance will cover a car damaged by flooding. Here are the key points to note: 1. As long as the owner has purchased vehicle damage insurance, they can call the insurance company to file a claim if the car is flooded. If the car was submerged while parked, the insurance company will provide full compensation. 2. According to the vehicle damage insurance policy, the insurer is responsible for covering total or partial losses caused by lightning, heavy rain, floods, waterlogging, tsunamis, etc. 3. However, many drivers attempt to restart their cars after stalling in water, which can cause engine damage—such losses are not covered by insurance. Therefore, never attempt to restart the engine after a car has been flooded.

What is the reason why the Landwind X7 instrument panel does not display tire pressure monitoring?

When the Landwind X7 tire pressure monitoring is not displayed: If there is a static response but no signal is received while driving, it may be due to low transmission strength, insufficient receiver sensitivity, or interference. These three factors could be the cause. If there is no static response and pairing fails, it indicates a transmitter failure or low signal transmission strength. In such cases, changing the placement position can resolve the issue. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. The module battery is depleted, requiring a complete replacement of the tire pressure detection module. 2. The module inspection port is blocked by an object, preventing detection. 3. Pairing failure, requiring re-pairing. Some models can complete this process independently, but most models require professional pairing at a 4S store. 4. The module is damaged and needs to be replaced with a new one.

Is there a time limit for car repairs after filing an insurance claim?

Insurance companies have a time limit for damage assessment, requiring them to assess the damage within 48 hours; otherwise, the repair invoice will be used as the basis. Considerations for car repairs include: 1. Whether it's within the warranty period: If the vehicle is still under the warranty at a 4S shop, repairs should be done there to ensure the user benefits from the warranty policy. If the vehicle is out of warranty, repairs can be done at auto repair shops, which are cheaper than 4S shops and have lower labor costs. 2. Agree on the price before repairs: 4S shops have fixed prices with no room for negotiation, while other repair shops may allow price discussions. Before repairs, clarify the parts to be repaired and the labor costs to avoid additional charges midway.

What is SAE 10W30 engine oil?

SAE 10W30 is a multi-grade engine oil that provides lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption for the engine. Explanation of engine oil grading: 10W-30 represents its SAE viscosity rating. This value first indicates that the oil is a multi-grade oil. The 'W' stands for WINTER, and the number preceding it denotes the oil's flow performance at low temperatures—the smaller the number, the better the cold-start performance. The number following the 'W' indicates the oil's stability at high temperatures (i.e., its resistance to thinning)—the larger the number, the better the high-temperature stability. Recommended engine oil for different vehicle types: Different manufacturers have varying technical requirements for their engines, leading to different viscosity specifications for engine oils. Japanese and Korean vehicles typically recommend oils with viscosity ratings of 20 or 30, such as SAE 0W-20 or 5W-30. American vehicles generally recommend oils with a viscosity rating of 30, like SAE 5W-30. European vehicles often require oils with a viscosity rating of 40, such as SAE 5W-40. If vehicle owners are unsure, they can directly refer to the recommended oil type specified in their maintenance manual.

What are the requirements for non-locals to participate in the Beijing license plate lottery?

According to the latest policy requirements, non-local residents in Beijing must meet the following conditions to purchase a car: 1. Proof of residence: Non-local residents must hold either a valid "Beijing Work Residence Permit" or a valid temporary residence permit with continuous social insurance and individual income tax payments in Beijing for the past five years (inclusive). Either one of these documents is required. 2. Driver's license: A valid motor vehicle driver's license issued by the traffic management department of the public security bureau. 3. Other requirements: The individual must not have a passenger car registered in Beijing under their name, nor any motor vehicle that should be scrapped but has not been deregistered. Unlike individual income tax, the requirement for continuous social insurance payments in Beijing over the past five years (inclusive) refers to 60 consecutive months of social insurance payments counted backward from the month before the application month. Late payments for interrupted months are also valid. If you plan to participate in the Beijing license plate lottery but cannot provide a Beijing Work Residence Permit, it is best to ensure that your social insurance and individual income tax payments meet the relevant standards. Those who do not meet the standards should make up the payments as soon as possible.

What does it indicate when a small car leaks air conditioning water inside the cabin?

The reason for air conditioning water leaking inside the car is poor quality of the drainage pipe, which is prone to aging and loosening, leading to poor drainage. Alternatively, the air conditioning may not have been installed securely during installation, causing displacement after prolonged use. Below is relevant information about automotive air conditioning: 1. Introduction to automotive air conditioning: The automotive air conditioning system, abbreviated as car AC, is used to regulate and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow within the car cabin to optimal conditions. It provides a comfortable riding environment for passengers, reducing travel fatigue, and creates good working conditions for the driver, playing an important role in ensuring safe driving. 2. Automotive air conditioning system: Generally includes refrigeration devices, heating devices, and ventilation devices. This combined system makes full use of the limited space inside the car, featuring a simple structure and ease of operation, making it a popular modern automotive air conditioning system internationally.

Does Drying Quilts on the Car Affect the Vehicle?

Drying quilts on the car does affect the vehicle. Below are the impacts of drying quilts on the car. 1. Surge in formaldehyde levels inside the car: Exposure to high summer temperatures can trigger the release of pollutants from various sources, which may become carcinogenic over time. Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with a strong, pungent odor, posing significant harm to human health. 2. Accelerated vehicle aging: It speeds up the aging of car paint and interior plastic components; UV rays accelerate the aging of plastic parts, rubber components (such as tires), and paint. After prolonged exposure to sunlight, opening the car door releases a pungent odor.
