Water in the trunk can have a significant impact on the car, and failure to address it promptly may lead to malfunctions. Below is a detailed explanation: Dangers of water entering the trunk: It can easily cause rust in the trunk, and in severe cases, perforation may occur. The spare tire is placed in a lower position inside the trunk, making it prone to water accumulation if water enters. Moisture and water cannot be drained, which can easily cause the car's interior parts to become damp, moldy, or rusty. How to handle water in the trunk: Drain the water as soon as possible. There is a rubber plug at the bottom of the spare tire compartment in the trunk; removing it allows the water to drain. Quickly locate the entry point of the water, check if the trunk lid is deformed, or if the surrounding seals are damaged. Open the lid to ventilate, remove the trunk lining and items inside, and leave the lid open to dry for about an hour to prevent mold and rust.

What is the solution for false high temperature in cars?

False high temperature in cars can be resolved by replacing the thermostat. False high temperature refers to a situation where the coolant temperature is not high, but the gauge indicates a high temperature. The function of the thermostat is to automatically adjust the amount of water entering the radiator based on the temperature of the coolant, changing the circulation range of the water to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity, ensuring the engine operates within an appropriate temperature range. Methods to determine if the thermostat is damaged include: 1. After starting the engine, open the filler cap of the coolant reservoir and observe if there is any water flow inside. If there is no flow, it indicates that the thermostat is damaged or there is debris stuck between the main valve switches. 2. After starting the engine, feel the upper and lower radiator hoses. If their temperatures are the same, it means the thermostat is damaged.
