Water will leak in if the car door is not closed tightly during rain. Here are some precautions to take after water leakage occurs in the car: Do not turn on electronic devices inside the car: For safety reasons, it is best not to turn on any electronic devices inside the car, such as lights or starting the vehicle, to prevent short circuits caused by water exposure. You can use the key to open the car door. If it is still raining, cover the vehicle with an umbrella or waterproof cloth. Do not use hot air to dry the seats: Wet seats may develop mold. Never use a hot air blower to dry them. If the seats have a heating function, you can use it to speed up water evaporation. After air drying, apply a leather polish cleaner. Avoid soaking the carpet: Do not completely soak the carpet in water for scrubbing, as this can damage the adhesive between the different layers of materials inside the carpet. Additionally, it may take a long time for the carpet to dry completely, affecting its performance and causing dampness inside the car.

Is Overtaking Prohibited in Tunnels?

Tunnels do not allow overtaking because tunnels themselves are very narrow, making overtaking extremely dangerous. If a vehicle occupies the fast lane at a speed below the stipulated limit, affecting the traffic behind, or exceeds the stipulated speed limit by 50%, in addition to a fine, 3 penalty points will be deducted. Precautions for driving in tunnels: Reduce speed and turn on lights before entering the tunnel: If driving during the day, the light suddenly dims upon entering the tunnel, and the human eye often takes a short time to adapt. Therefore, about 100 meters before entering the tunnel, you should reduce speed, increase the following distance, turn on the headlights, and enter the tunnel safely at a relatively slower speed. Maintain a sufficiently safe following distance: Due to the significant difference in light when entering and exiting the tunnel, vision can be temporarily impaired. Many people instinctively brake, and the vehicle behind may also be entering a state of impaired vision. Therefore, maintaining a longer following distance ensures sufficient safety. No lane changes: Due to poor light inside the tunnel, especially at the exit, and typically only two or three lanes, changing lanes is strictly prohibited inside the tunnel. Always drive in your designated lane and do not overtake. Speeding is strictly prohibited: Tunnels usually have strict speed limits, even on highways. Speed limit signs are prominently displayed before entering the tunnel, and some tunnels also have speed limit reminders inside.

Can a Diesel Engine Stall Due to Low Oil?

Diesel engines can stall due to low oil. The following are specific symptoms when oil is insufficient: 1. Abnormal vibration and reduced power: When oil levels drop to the point of causing low oil pressure, it leads to inadequate lubrication of the engine's friction surfaces, resulting in abnormal vibration and reduced power. In severe cases, it may even cause engine "bearing seizure." Engine "bearing seizure" refers to the burning and erosion of the crankshaft bearings and bearing bushings due to poor lubrication, manifested as abnormal engine vibration until the engine stalls. After stalling, the engine will not be able to restart. 2. Abnormal operation and increased fuel consumption: When oil levels drop to the point of causing low oil pressure, it can also lead to malfunction of the engine's variable timing solenoid valve, preventing precise control of the engine's intake and exhaust valves. This results in abnormal operation, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption.

Is the vehicle inspection valid until the exact date or the end of the month?

For vehicle annual inspections, the validity period is generally calculated by month. You can have your vehicle inspected on any day within the three months prior to the expiration date. For example, if the registration date is March 10th, the inspection sticker and vehicle license will show the validity month as March, meaning the inspection can be done anytime before March 31st without being considered overdue. Below is an introduction to vehicle inspection periods: 1. Commercial passenger vehicles: Annual inspection for the first 5 years; every 6 months after 5 years; 2. Trucks and large/medium non-commercial passenger vehicles: Annual inspection for the first 10 years; every 6 months after 10 years; 3. Small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles: Inspection every 2 years for the first 6 years; annual inspection after 6 years; every 6 months after 15 years; 4. Motorcycles: Inspection every 2 years for the first 4 years; annual inspection after 4 years; 5. Tractors and other motor vehicles: Annual inspection. Commercial vehicles that pass the safety inspection within the specified period do not need to repeat the safety inspection; 6. Vehicles exceeding the scrapping age: Cannot be transferred (sold), but can still be used. For sales, you can first obtain the vehicle's scrapping certificate (to deregister the vehicle) from the DMV before proceeding with the transaction.

Do items in the trunk need to be removed during vehicle inspection?

For annual inspections of household passenger vehicles, luggage inside the cabin and trunk does not need to be removed. Inspectors will briefly check the safety aspects of these items, but won't examine them thoroughly. Vehicle inspection refers to mandatory testing required for all registered vehicles with official license plates, equivalent to an annual physical examination conducted according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety" to promptly eliminate potential safety hazards. Below are precautions regarding trunk contents: 1. Avoid flammable/explosive items: As an enclosed space, trunk temperatures rise rapidly. Storing lighters, hairspray or other flammable items during summer heat or long-distance travel may cause explosions with severe consequences. 2. Avoid valuables: Storing precious items, premium cigarettes or alcohol in the trunk is highly unsafe. Thieves are cunning - never leave valuables in your vehicle's trunk.

What's the reason for an Audi vehicle having no power at all?

Complete vehicle power loss refers to a no-power malfunction in a car. When encountering such an issue, it should be promptly inspected and repaired at a service center. The possible causes for a complete vehicle power loss include: 1. Battery aging or complete failure. 2. Prolonged parking: The battery may be depleted due to the vehicle being parked for too long. 3. Electrical circuit malfunction: Issues in the car's electrical system preventing battery power from reaching the entire vehicle. 4. Fuse damage: Burned-out or poor contact in the vehicle's fuse circuit, etc. Additional information: The jump-start method can be used: First start the donor vehicle, then connect the batteries correctly with jumper cables, ensuring proper polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). Once connected, attempt to start the engine. Normally, the vehicle should start on the first try. If there's no response, promptly check whether the vehicle's wiring is functioning properly.
