How Does a Car Airbag Work?

1 Answers

07/29/25 1:17pm
Car airbags work by: when a vehicle collision occurs, the airbag control module quickly processes the signal and determines that the severity of the collision exceeds the protection capability of the seatbelt. It then rapidly deploys the airbag, allowing the occupant's head and chest to come into direct contact with the softer, more elastic airbag, thereby reducing the occupant's injuries through the cushioning effect of the airbag. Here is more information about car airbags: 1. Minor collisions will not trigger the airbag. The airbag is only deployed within a certain frontal angle range of the vehicle, and rear-end collisions, side collisions, or rollovers will not activate the airbag. 2. Airbags are only supplementary safety devices. Without wearing a seatbelt, airbags not only fail to protect the occupant but can also cause serious harm.

What is the correct way to use air conditioning when parked?

When the vehicle is parked and needs to use air conditioning, you can turn on the air conditioning control button of the motor vehicle, select the appropriate temperature for the air conditioning, and adjust the angle of the air outlet. After the air conditioning has been running for 3 to 5 minutes, turn on the internal circulation control switch of the vehicle. This allows the cold air inside the motor vehicle to circulate internally, cooling the interior more quickly. When the internal circulation control switch is turned on, it should be used in conjunction with the external circulation switch. The correct method for using air conditioning in an automatic transmission vehicle when parked: 1. Switching circulation modes: After the vehicle is stopped, there is no need to turn off the engine, and the air conditioning system can operate normally. During use, switch to external circulation for 15 minutes every 30 minutes to replace the air inside the motor vehicle with fresh air, avoiding potential dangers caused by poor air quality and ensuring the safety of the vehicle's occupants. 2. Activation method: When the vehicle is parked and needs to use air conditioning, you can turn on the air conditioning control button of the motor vehicle, select the appropriate temperature for the air conditioning, and adjust the angle of the air outlet. After the air conditioning has been running for 3 to 5 minutes, turn on the internal circulation control switch of the vehicle. This allows the cold air inside the motor vehicle to circulate internally, cooling the interior more quickly. When the internal circulation control switch is turned on, it should be used in conjunction with the external circulation switch.

Is Following Traffic Flow in a Traffic Jam Considered Running a Red Light?

Following traffic flow in a traffic jam is not considered running a red light. The traffic police department states that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when the yellow light at an intersection is flashing, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass. However, if the yellow light is already on and a vehicle continues to force its way through, being caught in such a situation will be considered running a red light. As the criteria for determining a red light violation, electronic cameras capture three photos: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be considered a red light violation. How to Check for Red Light Violations: Common methods include the following: You can check for red light violations through the "Traffic Management 12123" app. After opening the app, log in with your ID card, find the "Violation Handling" option, and click on it. Under "Violation Handling," you can see the current status of your vehicle. If there are any violations, the specific details will be displayed. You can also check by visiting the service halls of the traffic police departments in various cities, districts, and counties and using the touch-screen query terminals. Alternatively, log in to the external service websites of the public security traffic management bureaus of various cities: find the "Vehicle Violation Query" section, enter your license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click "Query."

Are the driving wheels and passive wheels the front or rear wheels respectively?

Driving wheels are the front wheels, and passive wheels are the rear wheels. The driving wheels of a car are the wheels connected to the drive axle, providing the power for the car to move forward. After the power from the car's engine is transmitted through the gearbox, it is transferred to the driving wheels via the drive axle. Therefore, the drive axle not only supports the weight of the car but also provides the driving force. When the car moves forward, the driving wheels are the two front wheels, while the two rear wheels serve as the passive wheels, which only support the car without providing any driving force. Below is additional information about car drivetrains: 1. Car drivetrain configuration: Refers to the arrangement of the engine and the number and position of the driving wheels. The most basic classification is based on the number of driving wheels, which can be divided into two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. Most vehicles have front and rear rows of wheels, with the wheels directly driven by the engine to push (or pull) the car forward being the driving wheels. The drivetrain configuration significantly impacts the vehicle's performance, appearance, internal dimensions, weight, axle load distribution, manufacturing cost, and maintenance. Scientifically and rationally selecting the drivetrain configuration is one of the primary tasks in automotive design. 2. Front-engine, rear-wheel drive (FR): Also known as front-engine rear-wheel drive, it is a traditional drivetrain configuration. In this setup, the front wheels are responsible for steering, while the rear wheels handle the driving. In this configuration, all the engine's power is delivered to the rear drive axle, driving the rear wheels to move the car forward.

How to use the adaptive cruise control in Hongqi H5?

To activate the adaptive cruise control in Hongqi H5, press the ACC switch button. Adaptive cruise control is an intelligent automatic adjustment system that adapts the cruise system to more road conditions, allowing the driver to completely remove their foot from the pedal and focus solely on the steering wheel. Relevant information about adaptive cruise control is as follows: 1. When the distance to the vehicle ahead becomes too small, the ACC control unit can coordinate with the anti-lock braking system and engine control system to apply appropriate braking to the wheels and reduce the engine's output power, ensuring the vehicle maintains a safe distance from the vehicle in front. 2. Adaptive cruise control can also be referred to as active cruise control, similar to traditional cruise control. The system includes radar sensors, digital signal processors, and control modules.
