Accord's pedestrian protection device cannot be canceled. The pedestrian protection device is set to be non-deactivatable when the car leaves the factory, and even a visit to the 4S dealership won't help in turning off this function. The pedestrian protection device is also known as the active hood technology, developed to reduce injuries to pedestrians in low-speed collision accidents. When a collision between the car's front and a pedestrian occurs during driving, the hood will lift and rise to a certain position, buffering the impact force between the car and the pedestrian. The Accord is a vehicle launched by GAC Honda, featuring dazzling crystal LED headlights with a unique square high-grade perspective that reflects dynamic tension, expanding the lighting range by 50% compared to previous models.

When I used to drive a Honda Accord, the pedestrian protection system kept triggering the hood to pop up at inappropriate times, which was both embarrassing and costly. Thinking back, common issues might be a dirty sensor, a blown fuse, or a faulty control module. I once opened the fuse box myself to check the pedestrian protection fuse—if it's black, it needs replacement. But honestly, tampering with it could damage the car or cause an electrical short, making driving unsafe. I recommend finding a reliable 4S shop where technicians can use professional equipment to diagnose the issue. If false triggers are too bothersome, ask them to adjust the sensitivity settings rather than disabling the system entirely. After all, this feature can reduce pedestrian injuries in real accidents, so keeping it active is better. During regular maintenance, remind the mechanics to keep the sensors clean to avoid future issues.

As a seasoned mechanic who has worked with various vehicles for a long time, encountering false activations of the pedestrian protection system is not uncommon. The main causes include dust accumulation on the front sensors affecting recognition or fuse burnout due to circuit overload. You can try opening the engine compartment yourself and checking the status of the fuse labeled for pedestrian protection in the fuse box. If that's fine, check if the sensor connector is loose. However, avoid tampering further with the cables or modules, as this could damage the system or leave hidden risks. It's best to take it to a professional repair shop where diagnostic tools can read the fault codes, and skilled technicians can accurately resolve the issue. As for disabling the entire system, it actually requires software programming to deactivate the ECU function, which only authorized centers can legally perform. Safety comes first, and keeping the system operational is the wise choice.

Why is the Ford Mondeo's water temperature high?

Ford Mondeo's high temperature may be caused by: 1. Cooling fan: The cooling fan is not rotating or has malfunctioned. 2. Cooling medium: Issues with the cooling medium, such as depleted coolant, leading to excessive temperature in the car's radiator. 3. Thermostat: A damaged thermostat; this issue requires sending the car to a 4S shop for repair. 4. Radiator: Radiator malfunction, which may require replacing the radiator water or the entire radiator. Solutions for high engine radiator temperature: 1. Stop and wait: Pull over to a safe area, set up a warning sign, open the engine hood, and turn off the engine. 2. Cool down: Wait for a period until the engine's water temperature has sufficiently decreased before checking the engine's cooling water level.

What to Do When There's a Bad Smell When Turning on the Car Air Conditioner?

Solutions for bad smells when turning on the car air conditioner include: 1. Replace the air filter: The air filter is often overlooked. A dirty filter not only fails to perform its original function but also causes secondary pollution to the air entering the car. 2. Clean the air ducts: Regularly replacing the filter can keep dirty air outside, but for vehicles used for a long time, dust and mold may still accumulate in the air conditioning system. In this case, an air duct cleaner is needed. The car air conditioner is an air conditioning device installed in the car, capable of cooling, heating, ventilating, and purifying the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety.

How to Read the Fuel Gauge on Honda CR-V?

To check the fuel gauge on a Honda CR-V, start the engine and observe the position of the fuel gauge needle on the right side. When the tank is full, the needle will point to the blue area. Generally, when it approaches the red line, it indicates that the fuel is nearly empty. The fuel gauge only provides an approximate reading. The functions of the fuel gauge are as follows: 1. Function one: The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel remaining in the car's fuel tank, which can be displayed via a pointer or digital readout. 2. Function two: The fuel gauge consists of a fuel level indicator with a voltage regulator and a fuel level sensor. 3. Function three: The low fuel warning light activates when the fuel level in the tank drops below a specified threshold, alerting the driver to refuel.
