Pull out the entire seat belt, and at the very bottom, there is an attached label. This label usually features the car brand's logo, a QR code, and other information, including the production date of the seat belt. If the seat belt has been replaced, it may indicate that the car has been involved in a severe accident. Below is relevant information: 1. The function of seat belts: The purpose of car seat belts is to secure the position of the driver and passengers during a collision or emergency braking, reducing injuries. Fastening the seat belt before driving is the most effective self-protection method for drivers and passengers, helping to avoid fatal injuries in unexpected dangerous situations. 2. Seat belts: Seat belts are safety devices used in equipment. They are straps used to ensure safety when riding aircraft, working at heights, or performing stunts.

I remember last time I went to get my car repaired, the mechanic showed me the seat belt, which had a small label printed with the production date, such as 'Production Date: March 2019'. This is used for quality tracking—if a certain batch has defects, the manufacturer can quickly notify us for a recall based on the date. I’ve noticed that seat belts also suffer from aging issues; the material fatigues over time, reducing its ability to absorb impact. Generally, after five to ten years, they should be inspected or replaced. I recommend checking the label during routine maintenance to ensure it’s clear and undamaged, confirming the production year to help assess its lifespan. Don’t overlook this small detail—driving safety is a big deal. Protecting yourself and your family makes buckling up every time you get in the car feel more reassuring. Adding this step to regular maintenance is simple but highly worthwhile.

What does an exclamation mark in the car instrument panel mean?

An exclamation mark on the car dashboard can indicate different situations: 1. A triangle with an exclamation mark inside is a general fault indicator light, which illuminates when issues such as clutch overheating, parking sensor failure, or engine oil pressure sensor malfunction occur; 2. A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark inside is the brake system warning light, lighting up while driving indicates a brake system failure; 3. A horizontal line with parentheses below and an exclamation mark inside is the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the ignition is turned on for function testing, automatically turns off after a few seconds, or stays lit or flashes to warn of abnormal tire pressure in one or more tires.

What are the hazards of a broken vehicle shock absorber?

The hazards of a damaged shock absorber include: 1. Severe bumpiness during vehicle driving; 2. Reduced safety, increasing the risk of danger during braking or changing direction; 3. Poor handling, increased tire rolling resistance, and reduced vehicle control. The symptoms of a broken vehicle shock absorber are: 1. Shock absorber oil leakage; 2. Abnormal noises from the wheels when driving over bumpy roads or speed bumps; 3. Increased body roll during turns, with potential skidding in severe cases; 4. When driving on rough roads, touching the shock absorber housing to feel its temperature—normally, the housing should be warm; if it's cold, it indicates damage.

How to use the gear shift in a Mercedes-Benz?

The method for shifting gears in a Mercedes-Benz is as follows: 1. Press the brake pedal when shifting gears and move the gear lever; 2. After starting, the gear is in the neutral position. Pulling up engages reverse gear, and pushing down engages drive gear; 3. When parking, press the brake, shift into neutral, and press the outer button to engage park (P) gear. Taking the 2021 Mercedes-Benz C200 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4784mm, width 1810mm, height 1457mm, with a wheelbase of 2920mm. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz C200 features a multi-link independent suspension at the front and rear. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 156PS, a maximum power of 115kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

What is the percentage of overloading when an 11-seater car carries 7 passengers?

A 7-seater car carrying 11 passengers is over 50% overloaded. Below is expanded information on the hazards of vehicle overloading: 1. Shortens vehicle lifespan: Vehicles are manufactured based on technical specifications, including load limits. Overloading alters these original design parameters. For instance: loose rivets, detached fastening screws, broken weld points, and overall frame deformation. Overloading reduces vehicle lifespan and accelerates the aging of rubber and plastic components. 2. Accelerates tire wear and deformation: Vehicle tires are designed and produced according to the total vehicle weight, with considerable safety margins. However, when a vehicle is overloaded, tires bear excessive weight and deform. Increased friction also shortens tire lifespan. Tests show that at 20% overloading, tire lifespan decreases by 30%; at 40% overloading, tire lifespan is halved. 3. Reduces braking performance and increases non-safe distance: Many factors affect vehicle braking distance, with vehicle load being a direct influencer. During braking, the load shifts forward, increasing front wheel load and decreasing rear wheel load. This alters ground adhesion and consequently braking distance. A fully loaded vehicle decelerates slower than an empty one. Tests prove that at 30 km/h, for a truck weighing over 3 tons, each additional ton extends braking distance by 0.5-1.0 meters. Overloaded vehicles, due to increased inertia, have even longer braking distances. Extended non-safe distances often create unexpected psychological pressure on drivers, leading to accidents.

What does it mean when a car displays a wrench symbol?

A wrench symbol displayed on a car indicates that the vehicle requires maintenance. The methods to cancel the illuminated wrench symbol are: 1. Turn the ignition key to the second position, hold down the trip reset button without releasing, rotate the key until the dashboard lights up, then release the button to turn off the maintenance light. Press the mileage adjustment button on the dashboard for 2 to 3 seconds while idling; 2. Simultaneously press the brake and accelerator pedals and wait for the maintenance light to flash for 15 seconds; 3. Release the brake and accelerator pedals. Car maintenance tasks include: 1. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter; 2. Regularly clean the air filter; 3. Regularly replace brake fluid, transmission fluid, battery, throttle, fuel injectors, and brake pads.

Can You Wash Your Car Immediately After a High-Speed Drive?

You should not wash your car immediately after a high-speed drive; wait until the car has cooled down before washing. Washing precautions: 1. Washing the car before the engine has completely cooled can cause engine aging; 2. Do not wash the car under direct sunlight, as it may leave dried water spot marks on the body; 3. Avoid washing the car in extremely cold weather, as water freezing can lead to paint film cracking; 4. Do not use hot water, alkaline water, or hard water to wash the car, as it may damage the paint. High-speed driving precautions: 1. Do not exceed the speed limit on highways; 2. Check tire pressure; 3. Inspect the engine for any water or oil leaks; 4. Choose smoother road surfaces to avoid excessive vibration, impact, or emergency braking, reducing the load on the body and powertrain.
