Insurance companies will not compensate. The flood insurance purchased for motor vehicles provides corresponding compensation if the engine gets flooded. However, once the engine stalls due to water and a second ignition is attempted, it can cause significant damage to the engine's internals, hence the insurance company will not cover the claim. Below are relevant details: Commercial Insurance: The commercial insurance used for motor vehicles can be purchased at any time. If you are concerned about your vehicle getting flooded during the rainy season, you can purchase flood insurance in advance before the season begins. Once the insurance takes effect, if your vehicle experiences flood-related issues during the rainy season, you can file a claim with the insurance company. Policy Cancellation: Commercial insurance for motor vehicles can be canceled. To cancel the commercial insurance, simply bring the vehicle's registration certificate and the original or a copy of the vehicle owner's ID card to the insurance company where the policy was purchased. The refund will be calculated based on the actual usage period.

How to Check if the Transmission Fluid is Sufficient?

ETC behind is the anti-tamper switch, which will automatically deactivate once released and cannot be reactivated by ordinary users. The ETC system utilizes microwave technology to identify the unique code of the vehicle's ETC device through the signal transceiver of the lane-side control system, determine vehicle type information, calculate toll fees, and automatically deduct the toll from the user's dedicated account. The automatic activation method for ETC is as follows: 1. There is a socket in the ETC where the ETC card can be inserted. Before the electronic tag displays "Bluetooth on," insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively. If the electronic tag is not attached, displaying "Tag invalid" is not normal; simply press the button on the upper part of the electronic tag. 2. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone and open the corresponding app or mini-program. 3. Click "Device Connection," select the device model to connect, and wait for the "Connection successful" prompt. 4. After successful connection, follow the prompts to complete verification by uploading a front photo of the vehicle. Wait for a review period of 3 to 5 days; once approved, it can be used normally.

What is the difference between MT and AT in cars?

Transmission types are different; AT stands for automatic transmission, while MT stands for manual transmission. The following is a related introduction to transmissions: 1. Automatic transmission is a type of gear-shifting device that can automatically change gears based on the vehicle's speed and engine RPM, as opposed to manual transmission. 2. Currently, there are four common types of automatic transmissions in cars: hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), continuously variable transmission (CVT), automated manual transmission (AMT), and dual-clutch transmission. Hydraulic automatic transmission achieves automatic shifting through a combination of hydraulic drive and planetary gears, typically consisting of a torque converter, planetary gear mechanism, shift actuators, shift control system, and shift operation mechanism. 3. Depending on the drive method, they can also be divided into front-engine rear-wheel drive and front-engine front-wheel drive types. AT does not require a clutch to shift gears, has fewer gear changes with larger variations, and provides smooth connection.

What does the BMW with three stripes mean?

BMW with three stripes represents the M series BMW. Here is some introduction about BMW with three stripes: 1. The front of BMW M series cars features an arrangement of red, white, and blue colors, each representing a different meaning. 2. Red signifies BMW's strong sports performance, white indicates that BMW cars are produced in Germany, and the final blue represents BMW's integration with motorsports. 3. Currently, the trend of modifying with these three colors (red, white, and blue) is no longer limited to BMW; these three colors have gradually become a symbol of good "protection" in many people's minds.

Should You Press the Accelerator with the Ball of Your Foot or the Toes?

Press the accelerator with the ball of your foot. Use the right heel as a pivot point on the floor of the driver's compartment, and place the ball of your foot on the accelerator. Be careful not to press the accelerator pedal too hard; apply gentle pressure and lift it slowly. While driving, control the accelerator based on road conditions and actual needs, and select the appropriate gear to ensure the engine operates mostly at medium speed and with a larger throttle opening to save fuel. When pressing the accelerator, drivers should pay attention to the following: 1. The accelerator is generally used when upshifting to increase the vehicle's speed, reaching the required RPM before shifting to prevent stalling or noise; 2. When driving an automatic transmission car, avoid pressing the accelerator too abruptly. Keep the ball of your foot relaxed to prevent accidentally pressing the accelerator instead of the brake due to nervousness—safety comes first; 3. According to national regulations, drivers are prohibited from driving barefoot, wearing high heels, or slippers. These types of footwear can easily affect the feel of the brake pedal, reduce ankle flexibility, and make it difficult to find a proper foothold when controlling the brakes, potentially leading to the foot getting stuck under the brake pedal.

What Are the Black Dots on the Windshield?

The black dots on the windshield are a type of glass with a ceramic-like structure. According to explanations from automotive glass manufacturers, these black edges and dots are actually created using a ceramic sintering technology, resulting in a glass structure resembling ceramics. The functions of these black dots are as follows: 1. Improve glass clarity: The high thermal conductivity of the black dots allows heat to distribute more evenly, making the windshield clearer. 2. Enhance glass durability: The black color absorbs heat, and through these variously sized dots, heat is absorbed, stored, and evenly transferred to the center of the glass, effectively preventing windshield cracking. 3. Protect vision: While minimizing obstruction to the driver's view, the black dots also reduce direct sunlight exposure to the eyes, thereby decreasing the harm of strong light to the eyes and helping to alleviate driving fatigue.

What is the purpose of the canister purge valve?

The canister purge valve, as part of the engine's gasoline evaporation control system, is installed between the fuel tank and the engine. Its working principle and function involve utilizing activated carbon's adsorption properties to collect fuel vapors during normal engine operation. The roles of the canister purge valve in a vehicle are as follows: 1. Reduce air pollution caused by fuel evaporation emissions from the vehicle. 2. Improve the vehicle's fuel efficiency. Information about the canister purge valve includes: 1. The solenoid valve is an automated fundamental component for fluid control using electromagnetic force, which can be integrated with circuits to achieve desired control. Inside the solenoid valve, there is a sealed chamber connected to different oil pipes, allowing hydraulic oil to enter various pipes, thereby controlling mechanical movement by switching the electromagnet's current on and off. 2. When the engine is turned off, gasoline vapors mix with fresh air inside the canister and are stored in the activated carbon canister. When the engine starts, the solenoid valve of the fuel evaporation purification device, located between the activated carbon canister and the intake manifold, opens, drawing the gasoline vapors from the canister into the intake manifold for combustion.
