Methods for handling overfilled engine oil: 1. Drain some oil from the oil pan's drain port. Wait for the engine temperature to drop before draining to avoid burns. If unsure how to proceed, the owner can visit a 4S shop for professional assistance; 2. Use a syringe with an IV plastic tube to extract the excess oil. The medical plastic tube has measurement marks for easy reference. Normally, the proper oil level should be between the upper and lower limits on the dipstick. A level below the lower limit may result in low oil pressure and potential lubrication issues, but short-term use won't cause severe damage to the engine.

Can the airbag deploy without wearing a seatbelt?

Yes, the airbag can deploy without wearing a seatbelt, but it may not always provide full protection. To maximize passenger safety, it is essential to wear a seatbelt. Here are some key points about seatbelts and airbags: 1. Seatbelts and airbags are two independent systems that operate without interfering with each other. They are not connected in any way, so even if the seatbelt is not worn, the airbag can still function normally. 2. A seatbelt is a purely mechanical component. Seatbelts with pre-tensioners include an electronic device that activates during an accident, causing the pre-tensioner to explode and quickly tighten the seatbelt. 3. Airbags operate solely based on sensors, and no other components can restrict their function. Vehicles are equipped with several crash sensors. When a sensor detects a collision, it triggers the airbag deployment. Some vehicles have a passenger-side airbag deactivation switch; if the airbag is turned off, even in an accident where other airbags deploy, the passenger-side airbag will not activate.

Is Wheel Balancing Necessary When Replacing Tires on a New Car?

Generally, it is necessary to perform wheel balancing after replacing or repairing the tire system. Over time, the loss of balancing weights can cause an imbalance in the tire's weight distribution. Any operation that alters the mass distribution of the wheel requires wheel balancing. Extended description regarding tire replacement is as follows: 1. Installing new tires can lead to uneven mass distribution across the wheel. At high speeds, this can create an unbalanced state, posing a safety risk. Therefore, wheel balancing should be performed after replacing tires or repairing punctures to ensure the wheels remain balanced during high-speed driving. 2. You can check whether wheel balancing is needed using the following method: Lift the tire off the ground and spin it at high speed. Observe whether the tire comes to rest in the same position or at a diagonal position each time. If the tire stops at random positions, balancing is not required. Conversely, if it consistently stops at the same spot, wheel balancing is necessary.
