There are no mandatory regulations on whether small cars must be equipped with dedicated fire extinguishers. However, during vehicle inspections, inspection personnel state that fire extinguishers, triangular warning signs, and other essential on-board equipment must be present. Some provinces have also issued requirements mandating the installation of fire extinguishers. Notes on using vehicle fire extinguishers: 1. When purchasing a fire extinguisher: Buy from reputable fire equipment stores, check their business license and product certification before purchase, and carefully observe the expiration date of the fire extinguisher. When selecting a vehicle fire extinguisher, in addition to paying attention to its appearance, car owners should also request the product certification, quality guarantee, and user manual from the seller, and obtain an invoice to ensure accountability in case of issues. 2. When placing the fire extinguisher: The fire extinguisher should be placed in a dry, well-ventilated, and easily accessible location, away from open flames, high temperatures, and greasy areas. Regularly check whether the safety pin is intact, whether the cylinder is deformed or corroded, and whether the nozzle is clogged with grease.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Coilover Suspension Goes Over Uneven Roads?

This is a normal phenomenon caused by overly stiff springs. Other abnormal causes are as follows: 1. Interference between components: Due to impacts or the installation of additional equipment, two components may affect each other. Solution: Only reshaping, repairing, or replacing the relevant components can eliminate the interference. 2. Loose bolts or nuts: Long-term driving on poor road conditions can naturally loosen bolts; improper disassembly or installation can damage bolts; insufficient tightening torque or incorrect bolt specifications. Solution: Tighten or replace the bolts and nuts. 3. Driveshaft universal joint failure: Caused by a broken dust cover or oil leakage that was not repaired in time. Solution: Replace the driveshaft universal joint with a new one. When the car is stationary, the ground clearance at the four corners of the body has a significant impact on the load of the wheels at those positions.
