Dual Hybrid is not considered a new energy vehicle; it falls under hybrid models. New Energy Vehicles: New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that utilize unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new types of onboard power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive systems to form vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and novel structures. Hybrid Vehicles: Generally refers to hybrid electric vehicles (Hybrid-Electric-Vehicle, HEV), which use traditional internal combustion engines (diesel or gasoline engines) and electric motors as power sources. Some engines are modified to use alternative fuels such as compressed natural gas, propane, and ethanol fuels.

Can Seat Belts Be Removed for Cleaning?

Seat belts can be removed for cleaning, but it is not recommended. If cleaning is necessary, it is advisable to use a cleaning agent inside the vehicle. Removing seat belts is quite complicated and difficult for non-professionals to handle. Moreover, seat belts are directly related to safety issues. Improper removal and reinstallation can pose potential hazards to driving safety. The primary function of seat belts is to protect the safety of the driver and passengers, serving as the sole active safety measure for drivers. Even at relatively low speeds, collisions or sudden braking can generate enough inertia to cause occupants to lose control of their bodies, potentially colliding with hard components like the steering wheel or windshield, resulting in injuries. When cleaning seat belts, it is essential to use a neutral cleaning agent. Other cleaning agents may corrode the seat belts, reducing their safety performance and increasing the risk of accidents, thereby failing to adequately protect the lives of vehicle occupants in emergencies. Seat Belt Laws and Regulations: Seat belts are active safety equipment in vehicles. Article 51 of China's "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates: When a motor vehicle is in motion, the driver and passengers must use seat belts as required, and motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear safety helmets as required. How Seat Belts Work: The three-point seat belt is a crucial active safety device in vehicles. Its working principle involves detecting the acceleration of the belt being pulled out to lock the belt. If the belt is pulled out too quickly, the centrifugal force detected by the acceleration sensor exceeds the spring's tension on the latch, causing the latch to be thrown out and locking the spool, preventing further extraction of the belt. Conversely, loosening the belt allows the latch to retract under spring tension, releasing the spool and relaxing the belt. Additionally, some mid-to-high-end vehicles are equipped with pre-tensioning seat belts. These belts operate by using radar sensors to detect the distance between the vehicle and the car ahead. If the distance falls below a set threshold, the ECU signals the motor to eliminate slack in the belt, tightening it against the occupant and alerting the driver to brake or take emergency action. These belts are designed to tighten instantly during a collision, securing the occupant firmly to the seat before any forward movement occurs, then locking the belt to prevent forward motion, effectively protecting the occupant. The retractor in pre-tensioning seat belts differs from standard belts, featuring not only the usual belt retraction function but also the ability to increase restraint force within about 0.1 seconds during rapid deceleration, thanks to its control and pre-tensioning mechanisms.

How Often Should Car Airbags Be Replaced?

Car airbags should be replaced every 8 to 10 years. Airbags deploy only when the vehicle is involved in a severe collision. As an auxiliary configuration for passive vehicle safety, airbags consist of an airbag sensor, an anti-collision airbag, and an electronic control device. They must be used in conjunction with seat belts to provide effective collision protection for occupants. The purpose of airbags is to offer a soft cushion and restraint during a collision, reducing injuries between passengers and vehicle components. Airbags provide an energy-absorbing surface between vehicle occupants and the steering wheel, dashboard, body pillars, headliner, and windshield.

How to adjust valve clearance?

Methods for adjusting valve clearance: 1. Cylinder-by-cylinder adjustment method: Determine the compression top dead center position of a cylinder according to the firing order, then adjust the intake and exhaust valve clearances of that cylinder; 2. Two-step adjustment method: Rotate the crankshaft to position the first cylinder piston at compression top dead center, align the flywheel mark with the inspection hole mark (e.g., EQ6100 engine), then adjust valves 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, and 9. Automotive valves, also called throttle valves, are responsible for introducing fuel into the engine and expelling exhaust gases. Traditional engines have only one intake valve and one exhaust valve per cylinder, featuring a relatively simple design structure.

Why is the cigarette lighter not working?

The reasons for a cigarette lighter not working are as follows: 1. The cigarette lighter is damaged. 2. The cigarette lighter fuse is blown. 3. The cigarette lighter's power is depleted. If the cigarette lighter is damaged, replace it directly. If the fuse is blown, you can replace it yourself. The steps to replace the fuse are as follows: 1. Locate the vehicle's electrical fuse box, which may be inside the storage compartment or under the dashboard. 2. Open the fuse box and refer to the fuse diagram on the inside of the cover to find the cigarette lighter fuse. 3. Use the included fuse puller to remove the blown fuse and replace it with a new or spare cigarette lighter fuse.
