When the relative speed exceeds 50 km/h and the instantaneous deceleration in the opposite direction reaches 40g or more, the airbag will deploy. Relevant details are as follows: The controller issues the command to deploy the airbag based on three acceleration sensors, not speed sensors. Therefore, even at high speeds, if the acceleration value (corresponding to the impact force) during a collision does not exceed the set threshold, the airbag will not deploy. Similarly, even at relatively low speeds, if the acceleration value during a collision exceeds the set threshold, the controller will still command the airbag to deploy.

What are the reasons for low tire pressure in Accord?

The reasons for low tire pressure in Accord are: air leakage from the tire valve; reduced tire sealing performance due to wheel hub deformation; uneven tire force distribution. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and easy deviation, which are unfavorable factors for driving safety; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; Reduces the function of the cord and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; The friction between the tire and the ground multiplies, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowout; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire side prone to cracks, while generating flexural movement, leading to excessive heat, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, cord breakage, and also increasing the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Tharu 1.4T?

The real fuel consumption range of the Tharu 1.4T is 6.98 to 9.12 liters per 100 kilometers. Vehicle Introduction: The SAIC Volkswagen Tharu features a square front face with a two-bar grille extending to the headlights, paired with a rugged bumper design and a prominent central logo. The new car's design language somewhat resembles the Teramont, with chrome trim on the grille using an armor-style design in its original color, combined with black honeycomb trim panels, giving it a tough appearance. The bumper adopts a "big beard" design, with black surrounds and a silver skid plate. As a compact SUV, the overall look conveys an off-road style. Powertrain Introduction: The 1.4T engine in the Tharu delivers a maximum horsepower of 150 and a peak torque of 250, paired with a DQ-speed dual-clutch transmission in the drivetrain. On paper, this powertrain performance is decent, though not as powerful as the 2.0T. From actual test results, the Tharu's 0-100 km/h acceleration time remains at 9 seconds, which is entirely sufficient for everyday driving scenarios.

What to Do When the Car Body Panel is Dented?

There are two main methods to fix a dented car body panel: 1. Traditional metal sheet repair can be used to resolve the issue. 2. Alternatively, you may opt for paintless dent repair (PDR), which is recommended to be performed at authorized repair shops or 4S stores. Methods for dealing with scratches on the car are as follows: 1. Hairline Scratches: Hairline scratches can generally be removed by polishing or applying a rubbing compound. Usually, a gentle wipe is enough to make the hairline scratch disappear. 2. Light Scratches: For light scratches, simply prepare a tube of toothpaste. Toothpaste is highly effective for shallow scratches that haven't damaged the car's primer. It works particularly well on marks left by other vehicles' paint during minor collisions or residues from sticky products like adhesives, most of which can be completely wiped away. 3. Moderate to Deep Scratches: Moderate and deep scratches cannot be fixed by polishing. For small dents with a depth not exceeding 5mm, you can fill them with putty to level the surface and then proceed with touch-up painting.

What brand of tires does the Audi A4L come with from the factory?

The Audi A4L comes with tires from brands such as Hankook, Goodyear, and Michelin, with the tire specification being 235/55R17. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, as they directly contact the road surface and work together with the car's suspension to mitigate impacts during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance. They also ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. The parameters on the tires have specific meanings: the first number represents the tire width, the second represents the aspect ratio, and the third represents the suitable wheel rim diameter. Taking 225/55R18 as an example, these numbers mean: 225 indicates the tire section width in millimeters, generally ranging between 145-285mm in increments of 10mm; 55 is the aspect ratio, representing the ratio of the tire sidewall height to the tire section width, where 55 stands for 55%. Typically, tire aspect ratios range between 30%-80%. Normally, ordinary sedans should not use tires with an aspect ratio greater than 75%, while luxury cars and high-performance sports cars are recommended to use tires with an aspect ratio <60%; R stands for Radial, indicating the tire has a radial structure, and 15 is the rim diameter in inches.

What does the car fault code EPC mean?

The EPC indicator light can illuminate in two states: during the power-on self-test and under other circumstances. The power-on self-test is an indication that the vehicle is checking the status of all sensors before driving. Generally, if the vehicle is not started after power-on, the light will turn off by itself after about 3 seconds. If the EPC indicator light remains on after the vehicle is started or illuminates under other conditions, the possible causes include faults in the engine intake system, throttle valve, fuel system, engine, ECU control unit, or brake light. Below is a detailed explanation of the reasons for the EPC light illuminating under other circumstances: Engine intake system fault: The EPC light will activate if the engine intake is obstructed or insufficient. Throttle valve fault: Carbon buildup is a common issue with the throttle valve. Additionally, dirt accumulation can affect intake and trigger the indicator light. Fuel system fault: Examples include substandard fuel, deteriorated fuel, or poor fuel atomization. Engine fault: Insufficient engine pressure or issues with components like the intake valve in the powertrain can also cause the EPC light to activate. ECU control unit fault: This includes interference with the vehicle computer signals or false alarms from the vehicle computer. Brake light fault: Situations such as brake light failure, faulty brake switch, or brake circuit issues. Solutions for when the EPC indicator light illuminates: Troubleshoot the intake system, use fuel with the appropriate octane rating, clean the throttle valve, etc. Remove carbon deposits from relevant components. Re-flash the ECU with relevant data. If the EPC light comes on, the owner can first try turning off the engine and restarting it to see if the EPC light remains illuminated. If it does not, there may be no issue, and the light could have been affected temporarily. If the EPC light stays on or frequently illuminates, the vehicle should be taken to the nearest service point for professional diagnosis and repair to eliminate potential safety hazards. The full English name of EPC is Electronic-Power-Control, which translates to electronic power control. Most people refer to it as the engine electronic stability system. The EPC system primarily includes controllers and sensors related to the powertrain. When sensor data in the system is abnormal, the EPC system will take pre-programmed measures for the powertrain. Common EPC indicator lights are usually displayed in two colors: yellow and red. If the EPC fault light is yellow and the vehicle can still operate normally, drive slowly to a repair point for inspection. If the EPC fault light is red, the situation is more severe. The driver should pull over immediately and contact a repair technician. Continuing to drive could directly affect the vehicle's core components or safety.
