Insurance will provide compensation for a car struck by lightning. Situations such as a tree or billboard being blown down by strong winds, or foreign objects falling from rooftops damaging parked vehicles, are classified as external object collapses. Relevant compensation details are as follows: 1. Insurance Clauses: The vehicle damage insurance clause stipulates that during the insurance period, direct losses to the insured vehicle caused by 'falling or collapsing external objects' are covered under the vehicle damage insurance. However, in cases of natural disasters or extreme weather conditions, vehicle damage insurance typically has a deductible of around 30%, meaning the insurance company will cover 70% of the loss for vehicles insured under this policy. 2. Classification: If during windy weather, a tree is blown down first and then a vehicle collides with it, this is considered a collision. According to the insurance clause, during the insurance period, if the insured or a legally permitted driver causes direct damage to the insured vehicle due to a 'collision' while using the vehicle, and the vehicle is covered by vehicle damage insurance within the policy period, the insurance company should compensate according to the contract terms.

How to Use the Hill Start Assist Function in a Car?

Method to use the hill start assist function in a car: When starting the vehicle on a steep or slippery slope, the driver switches from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal, which may cause the vehicle to roll backward, making it difficult to start. To prevent this situation, the hill start assist control temporarily applies brakes to all four wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling back. Working principle of the hill start assist system: When the vehicle is on an uphill slope, at the moment the foot leaves the brake pedal and moves to press the accelerator, the HAC system automatically maintains brake oil pressure for 2 to 3 seconds, preventing the vehicle from rolling back due to gravity and inertia. When the accelerator is pressed, the system gradually reduces the braking force. Once the HAC's brake control ends, the vehicle moves forward steadily as the accelerator is pressed. If the accelerator is not pressed, the HAC's automatic brake control will also end after 2 to 3 seconds.

How to Repair Car Scratches with Toothpaste?

Method for repairing car scratches with toothpaste: Use a soft cloth or sponge to apply toothpaste and gently polish the scratched area. Be careful not to apply excessive force to avoid large-scale polishing that may cause a matte finish and affect visual appearance. Toothpaste has a polishing effect and can repair some minor scratches. However, it is not recommended for car owners to use toothpaste for repairs, as improper handling may result in more severe scratches. If scratches appear on the car's paint surface, it is advisable to visit a car beauty center for polishing. The car's paint surface consists of four layers, from the inside out: the electrophoretic layer, the middle coating layer, the color paint layer, and the clear coat layer. After the car body is assembled, robots immerse the entire body in an electrophoretic pool to form the electrophoretic layer, which serves as an anti-rust barrier. The middle coating layer is the second layer of paint, which also provides anti-rust protection and enhances adhesion to the next paint layer. The third layer is the color paint layer, which displays the various car body colors visible in daily life. The fourth layer is the clear coat layer, which protects the paint and enhances its glossiness.
