Will the Transmission Be Ruined If the Car Is Hit While in Park Mode?

Will the car interior get flooded if the parked car is submerged in rainwater on the roadside?

If a car is parked on the roadside and gets submerged in rainwater, water may enter the interior. Below are specific symptoms indicating water ingress in vehicles: Abnormal engine oil condition: Normal engine oil colors include light yellow, brown, or transparent colorless, but it generally does not appear milky white. Pull out the dipstick to check for any milky oil-water mixture; if present, it might indicate engine water ingress. Inspect the air filter: Check the air filter and the lower housing for obvious signs of water ingress, and examine the intake pipe and intake manifold for clear traces of water. White smoke from the exhaust pipe: When there is water in the engine fuel or combustion chamber, the water is heated by the combustion heat in the cylinder, turning into steam that exits through the exhaust pipe as white smoke. If white smoke appears after the vehicle has driven through water, it is highly likely that the engine has taken in water.

How long after passing the Xi'an Subject 3 test can you schedule Subject 4?

You can schedule Subject 4 approximately ten days after passing the Xi'an Subject 3 test.

Does water over the wheels affect the car?

There are three scenarios when a car is flooded: first, water submerges the exhaust pipe but does not reach half the wheel height; second, water reaches exactly half the wheel height; third, water exceeds half the wheel height. Generally, water reaching exactly half the wheel height can affect the car. Car handling: 1. Water submerges the exhaust pipe: When water submerges the exhaust pipe but does not reach half the wheel height, promptly drive the car away. Starting the car at this point will not cause water to be sucked back into the engine. While driving, slow down to avoid water entering the engine's intake system. 2. Water reaches exactly half the wheel height: If the car's sealing is good, water usually won't enter; however, if soaked for a long time and the sealing is poor, the car may leak. Ensure the engine's intake system is not flooded, then drive the car to a 4S shop, remove the soaked interior, clean, and dry it. 3. Water exceeds half the wheel height: Both the engine and cabin may be flooded. Do not start the car at this point, as it could cause electronic devices and components to burn out.

What gear should an automatic transmission car be in when parked?

When parking an automatic transmission car, shift to P (Park) gear. The parking procedure is as follows: press the brake pedal, shift to N (Neutral) gear, release the foot brake, engage the parking brake, turn off the engine, then shift to P gear. If on a slope, the third step should be: first engage the parking brake, then release the foot brake, turn off the engine, and finally shift to P gear. P stands for Park gear, while N is Neutral gear. It's generally appropriate to shift to P gear when stopping for more than 40 seconds. Automatic transmission typically refers to a car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the transmission control system automatically selects the appropriate gear based on engine speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations. A typical automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. The commonly used automatic transmission gears are Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and Drive (D).
