For such vehicle losses caused by heavy rain, the insurance company will cover the damages. Below are the compensation scenarios for water-damaged vehicles under different circumstances: 1. Vehicle submerged while parked: If the car is submerged while parked and the owner has previously purchased auto damage insurance, the insurance will compensate. If the vehicle is damaged during heavy rain by falling objects from heights, collapsed utility poles, or floating debris, these are all covered under the auto damage insurance. 2. Vehicle submerged while driving with a secondary start: If the car stalls while driving through water and the driver attempts a secondary start, regardless of whether the old version of water-related damage insurance purchased before the insurance reform on September 19, 2020, or the new version of auto damage insurance is in place, the insurance company has the right to refuse compensation for engine damage caused by such actions.

What is the length of a concrete pump truck?

The body length of concrete pump trucks varies depending on different brands and types. There are 7 common specifications for pump truck lengths: 21 meters, 24 meters, 28 meters, 30 meters, 33 meters, 38 meters, 35 meters, and 37 meters. Initially, domestically produced boom-type concrete pump trucks mostly had 37-meter booms, but in recent years there has been a trend toward longer boom lengths. Additional information: Pump trucks use large-diameter, long-stroke conveying cylinders to increase suction area and reduce the number of directional changes per unit time, thereby decreasing wear on components such as conveying cylinders, concrete pistons, wear plates, and cutting rings, which directly extends their service life. Maintenance methods for pump trucks should follow the requirements and procedures specified in the maintenance manual. During daily use, inspect relevant pump truck components before and after operation. Refer to the lubrication chart in the operation and maintenance manual to ensure timely and adequate lubrication of all pump truck components.

Under What Circumstances Should Steering Angle Reset Be Performed?

When there is an issue with the steering angle sensor of a motor vehicle, or after replacing the steering angle sensor, it is necessary to use the vehicle's diagnostic computer to connect to the vehicle and then reset the steering angle sensor. Steering angle reset is part of automotive repair. Below is a detailed introduction about automotive repair: 1. Overview: Automotive repair is a general term for vehicle maintenance and repair. It involves using technical means to diagnose faults in malfunctioning vehicles, identify the causes of the faults, and take certain measures to eliminate the faults and restore the vehicle to a certain level of performance and safety standards. 2. Others: Automotive repair includes major repairs and minor repairs. Major repairs refer to restorative repairs that use methods such as repairing or replacing any parts of the vehicle (including basic components) to restore the vehicle's perfect technical condition and fully (or nearly fully) recover its service life. Minor repairs refer to operational repairs that use methods such as replacing or repairing individual parts to ensure or restore the vehicle's operational capability.

Will the Engine Get Flooded in Heavy Rain?

If the car is parked outdoors during heavy rain, it generally won't get flooded. However, if the water level rises above half of the tires, the engine may take in water. Here are some precautions for driving in rainy weather: 1. Reduce speed and drive cautiously: Regardless of road width or surface conditions, always drive slowly in the rain, continuously monitor the distance to surrounding vehicles, and be mentally prepared to take emergency actions. Visibility is poor in rainy conditions, and the vehicle's braking distance and other emergency performance metrics are reduced, so it's essential to slow down in advance to allow sufficient time and space for safe maneuvering. 2. Maintain a safe distance: Rainy conditions obstruct visibility, so it's crucial to keep a safe distance from other vehicles, constantly check the spacing, and increase the following distance. Stay especially far away from large trucks—they not only block your view but also may traverse waterlogged areas that smaller cars cannot. Additionally, large vehicles tend to create water splashes that can disrupt smaller cars' driving.
