Small amounts of rainwater splashing into the car window or large-scale water ingress will not damage the internal wiring system of the car, nor will it affect the mechanical systems. This is because the car's electrical circuits are protected by sheathed wires and are not prone to issues. If you notice abnormal headlights or other functional abnormalities while driving, it is advisable to have them inspected and repaired promptly. Below is a detailed introduction: Cleaning carpets or floor mats: If rainwater has seeped into the carpets or floor mats, they should be taken out, cleaned, and dried. Disinfection: After addressing the water accumulation issue, it is also necessary to disinfect the interior of the car to prevent lingering odors. Removing seats after mold or deterioration: If there is water accumulation on the car floor, or if water has seeped beneath the floor covering, or if the car still has a persistent musty smell after drying, it indicates that the area beneath the floor covering, including materials like foam, has become damp and moldy. In such cases, it is necessary to visit a professional auto repair shop to remove the seats and lift the floor covering to thoroughly clean and eliminate the musty smell.

Will Manual Transmission Cars Be Phased Out?

Manual transmission will not be phased out. Here are the advantages of manual transmission: Control of Manual Transmission: The control and driving experience of manual transmission are very intense. Automatic transmission cars offer no sense of control—they are convenient, but lack the driving pleasure of manual transmission. Additionally, manual transmission cars have better adaptability. On some complex roads, manual transmission performs better. Even in traffic jams or unexpected situations, manual transmission outperforms automatic transmission, which is why manual transmission continues to dominate the car market. Lower Cost of Manual Transmission Cars: Manual transmission technology is more mature, with relatively stable transmissions and engines, resulting in lower costs. Lower costs naturally lead to lower prices. For the same configuration, manual transmission cars are definitely cheaper than automatic transmission cars.

At what percentage of remaining engine oil life should it be replaced?

Engine oil should be replaced when its remaining life is below 20%.

Multi-grade oil offers advantages such as fuel efficiency, long service life, and high performance, providing excellent protection for the engine. Select oil according to your engine's requirements. Avoid using higher-grade oil in lower-performance engines or lower-grade oil in high-performance engines. Oil level should be below the dipstick mark: The oil level should be slightly below the mark on the car's dipstick. Do not overfill. Choose oil with different viscosity based on your vehicle's engine operating conditions.

How to Check a Car's Make and Model?

You can directly use the car's VIN code to check. Every car has a VIN code, which is equivalent to the car's ID number. This number is unique and cannot be tampered with. The car's VIN code contains a lot of information, such as the manufacturer, body type, engine type, production location, and manufacturing date. If car owners want to check the make and model of their car, they can use the car's VIN code to do so. The car's VIN code is usually written on the lower left corner of the front windshield, which car owners can check. The car frame also has a VIN code, but this VIN code is used for tracing purposes. When registering a new car, the frame number and engine number need to be imprinted.

What are the practical tips for reverse parking?

Here is a detailed introduction to reverse parking techniques: Taking right-side reverse parking as an example, adjust the rearview mirrors and turn the steering wheel to full lock: After getting into the car, adjust the seat and backrest, then properly adjust the left and right rearview mirrors. Lower the mirrors to the lowest position, ideally to see a bit of the rear wheels. Fasten the seatbelt. First, drive the car to an appropriate position, engage reverse gear, gently lift the clutch, and slowly reverse. When the vehicle reaches the point where the lower edge of the left rearview mirror touches the control line, turn the steering wheel to full lock to the right. Check the rearview mirrors: After turning the steering wheel to full lock to the right, look at the left rearview mirror. When you see the corner of the parking space appear in the left rearview mirror, straighten the steering wheel (if the front left door handle has already crossed the line, do not straighten the wheel and reverse directly into the space). Adjust the steering wheel: After straightening the steering wheel, continue reversing until the front left door handle is over the left parking line, then turn the steering wheel to full lock to the right again. Straighten the car body and stop: When you see the corner of the left baseline of the parking space, straighten the steering wheel. Wait until the car body is vertically aligned and parallel, adjust the car body to reverse into the parking space. After aligning the car body, check the left rearview mirror. When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror shell is over the front line of the parking space, stop the car.
