The airbag light being on does not affect other functions of the vehicle, so the vehicle can continue to be driven. Additional information about the airbag is as follows: 1. It is not recommended to drive when the airbag light is on: because the airbag light being on could be caused by a fault in one of the components such as the sensor, processor, electronic control unit, airbag, or airbag module. In this case, the airbag can no longer be triggered and will not provide protection in the event of an accident. 2. Fault indication: If the airbag light continues to flash or stays on for 6-8 seconds after the vehicle is started, or if the airbag light flashes or stays on while the vehicle is in operation, both situations indicate that the vehicle's airbag may be faulty. 3. Reasons for the airbag light being on: It could be a false fault phenomenon. If the car battery is low or other electrical equipment in the car is damaged, it may affect the feedback voltage of the airbag safety, resulting in a fault code. In this case, clearing the fault code is usually sufficient.

Why are vehicles not allowed on the highway?

Highway access denial is due to the ETC being on a "blacklist." Here are specific details about the ETC blacklist: 1. Credit card overdraft: The IC card linked to the ETC is in an abnormal state. Many drivers link their IC cards to credit cards. If the credit card is overdrawn, it may cause ETC payment failure. If linked to a bank card, insufficient balance or account freezing can also lead to ETC payment failure, resulting in the vehicle being blacklisted. 2. Vehicle information mismatch: The registered vehicle information does not match the actual passing vehicle. The ETC system records not only the license plate number but also details like vehicle model and VIN. If a vehicle is replaced without updating the ETC information, even with the same license plate, the vehicle will be blacklisted.

Can You Open the Sunroof on the Highway?

It is not advisable to open the sunroof on the highway. Driving with the windows open at high speeds poses significant safety hazards. Here are the reasons why it is not recommended to open windows while driving on the highway: 1. Increased fuel consumption: At high speeds, the car's streamlined shape helps reduce wind resistance. However, opening the windows disrupts this aerodynamics, increasing air resistance and consequently raising fuel consumption. 2. Increased noise: Opening windows at high speeds significantly increases wind noise, reducing comfort. 3. Interior gets dirty: Driving with windows open on the highway allows dust to accumulate easily on the interior and ceiling. 4. Increased risk of accidents: Speeds on highways are typically around 120 km/h, and many drivers store luggage or tools in the trunk. Open windows can create uneven wind pressure, potentially leading to accidents.

What does turbocharging in cars mean?

The turbocharging in cars means that the exhaust gas is not directly discharged into the atmosphere, but instead drives the turbocharger to pressurize the intake air, thereby improving intake efficiency. It can also increase power and reduce fuel consumption. Precautions for using turbocharging: 1. The engine oil for turbocharged engines must be of higher quality, capable of withstanding high temperatures and having good oxidation resistance. Additionally, the oil change interval should be shortened accordingly to maintain the lubrication and cooling effects of the oil on the turbocharger. 2. Turbocharged cars are equipped with oil coolers and intake system cooling devices to lower the temperature of the turbocharger. The radiator and thermostat should also be appropriately enlarged to improve thermal efficiency, thereby fully enhancing the cooling conditions of the turbocharged engine. 3. Do not shut off the engine immediately. After the engine has been running at high speed, immediately shutting it off will cause a sharp decrease in the oil supply to the turbocharger bearings. At this time, the turbocharger is still running at high speed due to inertia. The lack of lubrication and cooling for the bearings under high temperature and high speed can be fatal damage.

What Causes the Rumbling Sound When Braking at High Speed?

High-speed braking with a rumbling sound is typically caused by an issue with the brake caliper. Below are specific explanations regarding abnormal brake noises: 1. Squealing Noise: First, check if the brake pads are nearly worn out. For new brake pads, inspect whether the brake disc has grooves, as localized friction can cause abnormal noises. If the brake disc is fine, consider whether the brake pads are too hard, if the anti-noise shims are incorrectly installed, or if there are foreign objects trapped between the brake disc and pads. 2. Hissing Noise: A hissing noise can indicate various issues, potentially involving the caliper, brake disc, or brake pads. 3. Continuous Noise: If the noise persists, check for dragging brakes. Poor reset of the brake caliper can cause prolonged friction between the brake disc and pads, leading to abnormal noises under certain conditions.

Should the left turn signal be used when overtaking without changing lanes on the highway?

When overtaking without changing lanes on the highway, it is not necessary to use the left turn signal. Below are some precautions for driving on the highway: 1. Overtaking: Be extremely cautious when overtaking on the highway. Always use the turn signal before overtaking, and overtake from the overtaking lane. Avoid developing the bad habit of overtaking from the right side. After signaling, do not overtake immediately; also pay attention to the road conditions behind you. When conditions permit, accelerate and maintain a lateral distance of 1.5 meters from the vehicle in front. 2. Maintaining longitudinal distance between vehicles: Generally, on dry roads with good braking conditions, the distance between vehicles (in meters) should not be less than the speed (in km/h). For example, at a speed of 80 km/h, the distance should not be less than 80 meters, and at 100 km/h, it should not be less than 100 meters. Always pay attention to roadside distance markers.

Should You Downshift When Overtaking on the Highway?

Highway overtaking requires downshifting. Below are precautions for driving on highways: 1. Overtaking: Exercise extreme caution when overtaking on highways. Always use turn signals before overtaking and pass from the overtaking lane. Avoid developing the bad habit of overtaking from the right side. After signaling, do not immediately overtake; also check the rear traffic conditions. When overtaking conditions permit, accelerate while maintaining a 1.5-meter lateral distance from the vehicle ahead. 2. Maintaining longitudinal distance: Generally, on dry roads with good braking conditions, the distance between vehicles (in meters) should not be less than the speed value (in km/h). For example, maintain at least 80m at 80km/h and 100m at 100km/h.
