Airbags do have an expiration date, which is 10 years. Introduction to airbags: Airbags are composed of airbag sensors, collision airbags, and electronic control devices. Airbags can be classified into single airbag, dual airbag, four airbag, multi-airbag, side airbag, knee airbag, and head airbag. Function of airbags: When a car is subjected to a certain collision force, the airbag system triggers a chemical reaction similar to the explosion of a small amount of explosives. The airbag hidden in the car inflates and pops out instantly, positioning itself in time before the occupant's body collides with the internal parts of the car. When the human body comes into contact with the airbag, the airbag begins to deflate through the holes on its surface, thereby cushioning the impact and reducing the force exerted on the body, ultimately minimizing the injury to the occupants.

What Causes a Parked Lexus to Alarm?

Trigger sensitivity is too high. Irregular alarms can disrupt rest. Below are relevant introductions about roadside parking: Prohibited parking situations: White dashed lines on crosswalks prohibit parking; crosswalks are pedestrian pathways where parking is forbidden. Related penalties: If the motor vehicle driver is not present or refuses to leave immediately, obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, a fine will be imposed, and the vehicle may be towed to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a place designated by the traffic management department of the public security organ. The traffic management department of the public security organ must not charge the party for towing and should promptly inform the party of the parking location. If the vehicle is damaged due to improper towing methods, compensation liability shall be borne according to the law.

What is the optimal tire pressure for SUVs?

The recommended tire pressure for SUVs is generally around 2.2-2.5 bar. However, to determine the exact normal tire pressure for your specific SUV, you can refer to the vehicle's user manual or check the manufacturer's recommended values indicated on the label near the door (around the B-pillar or C-pillar). Hazards of overinflated tires: 1. Overinflation reduces tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance and shortening tire lifespan. 2. Overinflated tires have decreased puncture resistance, increasing the risk of blowouts. 3. Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, reducing tire life and increasing vehicle vibration, which indirectly affects the lifespan of other components. 4. Excessive tire pressure overextends and deforms the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load during driving while decreasing puncture resistance. This makes tires more vulnerable to sharp objects like nails or glass, potentially causing internal cracks, ruptures, and blowouts. Hazards of underinflated tires: 1. Low tire pressure increases fuel consumption, makes steering heavier, causes alignment issues, damages the bead area, causes abnormal wear, reduces tire strength, and may lead to blowouts during high-speed driving. 2. Insufficient pressure increases movement in all tire parts, causing excessive flexing that generates abnormal heat, degrading cord and rubber functionality, potentially leading to ply separation, cord breakage, or excessive friction between the bead and rim. 3. Significantly increases friction with the road surface, causing rapid temperature rise that softens the tire and drastically reduces strength, potentially resulting in blowouts during high-speed driving.

What brand of transmission fluid does Kia use as original equipment?

Currently, Kia models are equipped with 6AT transmissions, and any brand of transmission fluid that meets the Kia SP-IV standard can be used. Types of transmission fluid: Transmission fluids are generally divided into three types: manual transmission fluid, automatic transmission fluid, and continuously variable transmission fluid. Manual transmission fluid is commonly known as gear oil, automatic transmission fluid is commonly referred to as ATF, and continuously variable transmission fluid is commonly called CVTF. Performance and maintenance methods of transmission fluid: Transmission fluid reduces friction, minimizes wear, controls clutch friction and synchronizer performance. It also handles load (low-speed high torque, vibration load), dissipates heat, reduces vibration and noise, and cleans contaminants at gear meshing points (cleaning function). It prevents corrosion, pitting, and surface metal tearing, isolates metal surfaces to prevent direct contact between metals. When the vehicle body shakes, gear shifting is jerky, or the dashboard shows a transmission overheating warning, it is necessary to replace the transmission fluid promptly.

What is the ground clearance of the Lexus ES?

The ground clearance is approximately 14CM. Here is some related information about Lexus: Introduction: Lexus is a luxury car brand under the Toyota Group, established on September 1, 1989, and sold in global markets. Unlike other car manufacturers under the Toyota Group, Lexus was founded specifically to manufacture luxury vehicles. Design Style: Two raised lines extend downward from the base of the A-pillar, glide past the sides of the grille, and outline the contours of a large front air intake on the front bumper. The high waistline design running through the body, the elongated cooling vents behind the front wheel arches, and the four exhaust pipes at the rear all reveal the high-performance essence of the IS F. The newly equipped 19-inch titanium black aluminum wheels not only enhance the IS F's dynamic performance but also give it a futuristic and robust design style.
