With the purchase of waterlogging insurance, typically 80% can be reimbursed. Below are the relevant details: 1. Flood-damaged car: If the engine is flooded, the insurance company cannot provide compensation as it falls under the exemption clause, so the engine part cannot be covered. 2. Waterlogging insurance: However, if the car owner has purchased waterlogging insurance, compensation is possible. Waterlogging insurance is an additional coverage and cannot be bought separately; it must be purchased together with the main insurance, such as vehicle damage insurance. This insurance has a 20% deductible and 80% reimbursement rate. Therefore, if the engine is not flooded and waterlogging insurance has been purchased, 80% can normally be reimbursed.

How to Identify Wheel Rim Models?

The wheel rim model can be found on the inner side of the rim. The specifications of a car wheel rim mainly include: diameter, width, bolt hole size (PCD), center bore, and offset. Some of these parameters can be seen visually, some require simple measurements, and others need professional tools for accurate measurement. Detailed introduction to wheel specifications: Size: The wheel rim size essentially refers to its diameter. Generally, larger rim sizes and higher tire aspect ratios on sedans can enhance visual appeal and improve vehicle handling stability, but this also leads to increased fuel consumption. Width: The width of the rim, commonly known as the J value, directly affects tire selection. For the same tire size, different J values will require different tire aspect ratios and widths. PCD and Bolt Pattern: PCD, professionally known as Pitch Circle Diameter, refers to the diameter between the fixing bolts at the center of the rim. Most rims have either 5 or 4 bolt holes, with varying distances between them. For example, 5X114.3 indicates that the rim's PCD is 114.3mm with 5 bolt holes. When selecting a rim, PCD is one of the most critical parameters. For safety and stability, it's best to choose a rim with the same PCD as the original vehicle for upgrades. Offset: Offset (also known as ET) is the distance between the mounting surface and the centerline of the rim. This parameter is usually found on the back of the rim. In simpler terms, it determines whether the rim will sit more inward or outward after modification. For most sedans, the ET value is positive, while for some vehicles and jeeps, it can be negative. Center Bore: The center bore is the part used to connect and secure the rim to the vehicle, located at the concentric circle position of the rim's center. The diameter here affects whether the rim can be installed correctly, ensuring that the geometric center of the wheel aligns with that of the rim. Car Wheel Rim Maintenance: Use appropriate cleaning agents; Avoid cleaning when the wheel is too hot; Clean the rim correctly; Develop good driving habits. Drivers should be mindful of low obstacles on the road and avoid parking too close to curbs, which can easily scratch the rim. Minor scratches affect aesthetics, while severe ones can damage the anti-rust coating, compromising waterproofing and corrosion resistance, leading to rim deformation and affecting driving safety.

What are the contents of C2 Subject 2?

The C2 driver's license Subject 2 test consists of 4 items: reverse parking, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. Some regions may also include a high-speed card retrieval item. Compared to the C1 manual transmission test, the C2 test does not include the hill start item. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), starting from June 1, 2021, the C2 and C5 Subject 2 tests no longer assess hill start and stop. Reverse parking is one of the more challenging items in the Subject 2 test, so many test centers arrange it as the first test item. The key points for reverse parking are: the steering wheel's full lock point, the 30 cm correction point, and the parking point in the garage. You must follow the specified route and sequence. The vehicle must be parked inside the garage without crossing the lines. Parallel parking focuses on aligning the front line of the garage with the rear wheel, observing the rear corner in the mirror, and maintaining the distance between the wheel and the left dotted line. After parking, there's no need to straighten the wheels, but don't forget to use the turn signal when exiting. After parking, the vehicle body must not cross the lines, and the tires must not touch the lane boundary lines during movement. Curve driving, commonly known as the S-curve, is manageable for many students with good driving sense, indicating its moderate difficulty. However, some students misjudge the line positions during the actual test, leading to immediate failure by crossing the lines. The key to the S-curve is observing the position of the hood marker relative to the boundary lines. The wheels must not touch the road edges. The right-angle turn is relatively easier, essentially a simplified version of the exit segment in reverse parking. The method for finding the turning point is similar to exiting the garage, focusing on the relationship between the hood's horizontal line and the front line (aligning or slightly delaying). Ensure the wheels do not touch the road edges. Generally, the C1 Subject 2 requires 16 hours of training, while the C2 Subject 2 requires 14 hours. Completing the required training hours is a basic requirement for taking the Subject 2 test. Training hours can only be increased, not reduced, and additional test items require corresponding additional hours. Each training hour is 60 minutes, with effective teaching time no less than 45 minutes. If you fail the Subject 2 test, you can retake it once. If you fail the retest, the current test session ends, and you must reschedule the test after ten days. If you fail five consecutive test attempts (including retests, totaling 10 attempts), all previously passed subjects will be invalidated, and you must restart the learning and testing process from Subject 1.

How to Operate the Rearview Camera?

The method to operate the rearview camera: The rearview camera automatically activates when the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear. The image displayed by the rearview camera is captured in real-time by the rear-mounted camera. If the camera image becomes distorted, it can easily lead to misjudgment of obstacle distances by the driver. Therefore, when estimating distances, it is advisable to rely more on the parking sensors, which provide more accurate distance feedback. Currently, almost all rearview cameras come with a parking trajectory system. This system simulates the wheel's path using two dotted lines, which shift as the steering wheel is turned, thereby further enhancing parking safety for the driver.
