If you haven't purchased water damage insurance, the insurance company will not cover the damages. Additionally, losses incurred from forcibly starting the engine after submersion will also not be compensated by the insurance company. Below is relevant information: 1. Relevant Regulations: According to China's motor vehicle insurance clauses, vehicle losses caused by natural disasters such as heavy rain and floods fall under the liability of commercial auto insurance's vehicle damage insurance. Therefore, expenses such as rescue costs, cleaning fees, electrical damage, and interior damage resulting from vehicle submersion are covered by vehicle damage insurance, and the insurance company should compensate for these. However, vehicle damage insurance does not cover engine damage caused by submersion or secondary ignition, but water damage insurance does. 2. Water Damage Insurance: Also known as engine special loss insurance, it covers damages to the engine caused by driving through water or submersion. Moreover, since auto insurance clauses typically include a deductible rate, if the "special clause for no deductible" is not purchased, the insurance company will compensate after deducting the deductible amount in the event of an accident.

What are the classifications in the automotive tire grading table?

Tires use letters from A to Z to represent the certified speed ratings ranging from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. The number before the tire specification indicates the tire section width, and the one after represents the rim diameter in inches. Some letters on tires have additional special meanings: "B" denotes bias-ply tires, "C" stands for reinforced tires, "-" indicates low-pressure tires, and "X" signifies high-pressure tires. Specifications: Tire specifications are represented by a combination of numbers and letters printed on the sidewall. The first number indicates the tire section width; the second number represents the aspect ratio; the following letter denotes the tire construction; the next number refers to the rim diameter; and the final number and letter represent the load index and speed rating, respectively. For example: 175/65R15 86H indicates a tire width of 175 mm, an aspect ratio of 65, and a rim diameter of 15 inches. The letter or symbol between the aspect ratio and rim diameter is most commonly "R," which, like "Z," signifies radial tires. Others include "X" for high-pressure tires, "-" for low-pressure tires, and "B" for bias-ply tires. Speed: Speed ratings indicate the maximum speed at which a tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters from A to Z represent certified speed ratings ranging from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include: P-150 km/h; H-210 km/h; Q-160 km/h; V-240 km/h; R-170 km/h; W-270 km/h; S-180 km/h; Y-300 km/h; T-190 km/h; Z-ZR for speeds above 240 km/h; and ZR if the tire specification includes ZR in the description.

Will the car radiator leak trigger an alarm?

Car radiator leaks will trigger an alarm because leakage causes the coolant level to drop below the standard value, which activates the water level warning light on the dashboard. Vehicles with displays may also show a cooling system malfunction message. Consequences of car radiator leakage: During driving, if the radiator leaks and the engine temperature rises to a certain level, the temperature warning light on the dashboard will illuminate to alert the driver of overheating. At this point, the vehicle should be stopped for inspection. Continuing to drive may cause engine components to overheat and sustain damage, with severe cases potentially leading to engine burnout.
