Airbags do not belong to active safety; they are part of passive safety. Introduction to Airbags: Airbags are a passive safety feature in motor vehicles, designed to work in conjunction with seat belts to provide effective collision protection for occupants. In the event of a collision, the inflation system rapidly inflates the airbag in less than one-tenth of a second. The airbag bursts out from the steering wheel or dashboard upon inflation, thereby shielding the vehicle occupants from the impact forces generated by a frontal collision. Working Principle of Airbags: The chemical reaction in the airbag inflation system generates nitrogen gas, which helps the airbag inflate and burst through the trim cover while reducing the resistance when breaking through the cover.

What does the night vision system in cars mean?

Car night vision system is a system that uses infrared technology to make darkness as bright as day, allowing drivers to see farther and more clearly at night. The night vision system consists of two parts: one is an infrared camera, and the other is a light display system on the windshield. More details are as follows: 1. The car night vision system is installed on some high-end models such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series. This system mainly uses infrared technology to make pitch-black nights as bright as daytime. 2. The infrared system can detect things that the human eye may overlook and sense temperature. Using this system allows the driver to observe more things at night, avoiding some traffic accidents and unexpected incidents. 3. For example, when driving on mountain roads at night, it is difficult for the driver to see things due to the darkness. If an animal suddenly rushes out or something falls, the driver may not notice it in time, leading to traffic accidents. Therefore, using a car night vision system is very helpful for drivers when driving at night.

How to Spray Windshield Washer Fluid on the Volkswagen Bora?

To spray windshield washer fluid on the Volkswagen Bora: Simply pull the lever on the right side of the steering wheel upward. The performance characteristics of windshield washer fluid are as follows: 1. Cleaning Performance. Windshield washer fluid is formulated with various surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically have functions such as wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning and removing dirt. 2. Anti-freeze Performance. It significantly lowers the freezing point of the liquid, thus providing anti-freeze effects and quickly dissolving frost. 3. Anti-fog Performance. It forms a single-molecule protective layer on the glass surface. This protective layer prevents the formation of fog droplets, ensuring the windshield remains clear and transparent with a clear view. 4. Anti-static Performance. After cleaning with windshield washer fluid, substances adsorbed on the glass surface can eliminate static charges on the glass, providing anti-static properties.

How to Parallel Park in One Go?

When starting, engage first gear and release the clutch. When you feel the car slightly vibrating, hold the clutch steady to control the speed and move forward slowly. While driving, when the inner left door handle aligns with the front edge line of the parking space, you should stop. Reverse at a low speed and watch the lower edge of the left rearview mirror. When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror is parallel to the front edge line of the parking space, quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the right. After turning the steering wheel fully to the right, pay attention to the right side of the steering wheel. When you see the corner of the parking space while reversing, start slowly turning the steering wheel to the left. Check the distance between the car body and the edge line of the parking space, and adjust the steering wheel left or right as needed to properly position the car body, slowly reversing into the parking space.

What can be used to replace the rubber pad on the side cover lock of a motorcycle?

Motorcycle side cover lock rubber pads can be replaced with sealant, typically using structural adhesive or sealant. Characteristics of motorcycles: Motorcycles are two or three-wheeled vehicles driven by gasoline engines and steered by handlebars. They are lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transportation, and also serve as sports equipment. Broadly speaking, motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, and touring bikes, among others. Precautions for riding motorcycles: Wear a helmet, do not speed or overload, carry a driver's license, and most importantly, do not drink and drive. When riding in urban areas, motorcyclists should concentrate more, correctly judge and handle various situations. Night riding has weaker light and poorer visibility, so the riding speed should be lower than during the day.

Why is it necessary to clean the radiator?

Car radiators need to be cleaned regularly because they accumulate impurities and sediment deposits, which affect heat dissipation efficiency. Radiator cleaners and protectors can be used for cleaning, which quickly remove scale from the radiator, water pump, and engine. This prevents scale buildup and corrosion, lubricates the water pump, and is convenient and reliable. Below are the specific steps for cleaning the radiator: 1. Ensure the engine is turned off and cooled. Open the radiator cap, slowly add the automatic radiator cleaner into the radiator until the coolant reaches the normal level, then tighten the cap. 2. Start the engine and let the coolant reach normal operating temperature, then run the engine for 1-40 hours as needed. If there is hard scale in the cooling system, extend the operation time to 10-48 hours. 3. Turn off the engine and drain the coolant containing deposits. Replace it with antifreeze or clean coolant. 4. Clean the radiator with automatic cleaner once a year.

Is the clutch on the left or right hand of a motorcycle?

On a motorcycle, the left hand controls the clutch, the right hand operates the front brake, the left foot is for gear shifting, and the right foot controls the rear brake. Engine inspection: Check for any damage to the engine block, ensure the seals are intact, and look for oil leaks. Inspect the cylinder block and radiator fins for rust or damage. Listen to the engine sound—it should be crisp, idle smoothly without knocking or other unusual noises. Check if the vehicle vibrates abnormally. Test if the engine RPM rises instantly when the throttle is suddenly opened and if it drops quickly when the throttle is closed. Electrical system inspection: Ensure the wiring is neat and not haphazardly modified. Check for severe aging or any suspicious areas that might cause a short circuit. Verify that the electronic sensors and indicator lights function properly and that the electric starter motor operates normally.
