Whether a car with deployed airbags is acceptable depends on the extent of damage to various components of the vehicle. As long as the deployment of the airbags does not affect the vehicle's structural integrity and engine performance, such a car can still be used. This is because collisions of varying severity can trigger airbag deployment. The key factor in determining whether a car with deployed airbags is worth purchasing lies in identifying which parts were damaged. If only the airbags are damaged, they can be repaired or replaced. Here’s an introduction to airbags: The airbag system is a passive safety protection system (see vehicle safety performance) that, when used in conjunction with seat belts, provides effective collision protection for occupants. In the event of a car collision, airbags can reduce head injury rates by 25% and facial injury rates by approximately 80%.

Will the ECU be damaged if it gets wet?

ECU will be damaged if it gets wet. Moreover, once the ECU is damaged, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a brand-new one. Relevant information is as follows: 1. There are many sensors and actuators on the engine. The ECU can collect data from the sensors, process it, and then control the engine operation through the actuators. 2. Both the ECU and TCU are usually installed in the engine compartment, so avoid using a high-pressure water gun to directly rinse the engine compartment during regular car washing, as this may damage the ECU and TCU. Cars equipped with automatic transmissions also have a TCU, which is the computer for the automatic transmission. The TCU can also collect data from various sensors, process it, and then control the automatic transmission's gear shifting through the actuators.

How to Identify the Year of TSG Glass?

TSG glass year identification is detailed as follows: 1. Year representation: This format of date code consists of a single digit, which represents the last digit of the year. It can be determined based on the vehicle's manufacturing date. For example, if the vehicle was manufactured in 2007 or 2008, the glass year digit '8' would indicate 2008. The production dates of the glass and the vehicle typically do not differ by more than 10 years. 2. Dot representation: Dots before the digit indicate the first half of the year, calculated as 7 minus the number of dots before the digit equals the month. Dots after the digit indicate the second half of the year, calculated as 13 minus the number of dots after the digit equals the month. For example, 13-1=December. 3. Asterisk representation: Some glasses may have small black asterisk-like dots following the year and month code. These asterisks can indicate the specific week of the month: 5 dots represent days 1-7, 4 dots represent 8-14, 3 dots represent 15-21, 2 dots represent 22-28, and 1 dot represents 28-31. Note that in some years, February has only 28 days, so a single asterisk would not appear. Additional information: 1. If the production date of the windshield is later than the vehicle's manufacturing date or close to your purchase date, it suggests that the vehicle was previously involved in a front-end collision, resulting in windshield damage and replacement. 2. For vehicle glass distribution, the production dates of all glasses in a vehicle are generally similar. If the year on one piece of glass differs from the others, it indicates that this piece has been replaced.

Is Gear Shifting Tested in Subject 3 Driving Exam?

Gear shifting is indeed tested in the Subject 3 driving exam. During the gear shifting segment, when the voice prompt instructs to perform gear shifting, the candidate should adjust the gear to 2nd gear, sequentially shift up to 5th gear (where the speed must exceed 40km/h), and then sequentially shift down to 2nd gear. Gear Up-shifting Operation: After starting with 1st gear, appropriately press the accelerator to increase speed before upshifting. Accelerate to 15-20 km/h before shifting to 2nd gear. During shifting, release the accelerator pedal, depress the clutch pedal, move the gear lever to neutral, then release the clutch pedal. Depress the clutch pedal again, push the gear lever into 2nd gear, and gradually release the clutch while slowly pressing the accelerator to maintain smooth acceleration. The same procedure applies for other upshifts. Gear Down-shifting Operation: When downshifting, release the accelerator pedal and depress the clutch pedal. Push the gear lever to neutral, release the clutch pedal, then lightly press the accelerator to increase engine RPM. Depress the clutch pedal again and push the gear lever into a lower gear. Gradually release the clutch until fully disengaged. Downshifting can skip one gear level but not two. Downshifting can also be used for engine braking during long descents.

Can Autonomous Vehicles Drive on Highways?

Autonomous vehicles can drive on highways. Below is an introduction to the speed regulations for two-lane and three-lane highways: 1. Two-lane highways: This refers to highways with two lanes in the same direction. The speed range for the right lane is 60 to 100 kilometers per hour, while the left lane has a speed range of 100 to 120 kilometers per hour. 2. Three-lane highways: This refers to highways with three lanes in the same direction. The speed range for the far-right lane is 60 to 90 kilometers per hour, the middle lane is 90 to 110 kilometers per hour, and the far-left lane is 110 to 120 kilometers per hour. The left lane is designated as the overtaking lane, hence it has a higher speed limit.

What is the battery model for the Jetour X70 Plus key?

The battery model for the Jetour X70 Plus key is a CR2032 coin cell battery. It can be replaced by yourself, but be careful not to touch the internal circuits and electronic connectors during the replacement process. The key has three function buttons: lock, open the trunk, and start. Additionally, it has the function to lower all four car windows by long-pressing the unlock button. Similarly, if you need to raise all four windows, long-press the lock button. Method to replace the key battery: Turn the car remote key to the back, and you will see the back cover divided into two parts. The side with the key ring has the battery underneath the back cover. There is a gap on the side of the key, both near the key ring and on the side of the key. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the gap and gently push upward to partially open the back cover. Move the screwdriver along the gap to both sides to gradually widen the gap. You can then fully open the back cover by moving it in the closing direction with your hand to remove it and see the inside of the battery. The protruding clip on one side of the battery can be used to slide the battery out from the other side. Insert the new battery into the car remote key in the opposite direction of removal. Solution for lost car keys: If you lose your car key, the best solution is to replace all the locks on the car, including the door locks and trunk lock. This is undoubtedly the most thorough, safest, and worry-free method, but it is also relatively more expensive.

Is It Normal for the Electronic Parking Brake to Make Noise?

It is normal for the electronic parking brake in a car to make noise. When operating the electronic parking brake, the motor on the rear wheel parking brake will engage, which can produce sound. Releasing the button may also cause noise. However, if the noise is harsh, it is recommended that the car owner immediately inspect the electronic parking brake to prevent malfunctions during use. Relevant details are as follows: 1. The electronic parking brake replaces the mechanical handle, mechanical cable, and mechanical lever. 2. When using the electronic parking brake, it is important to note that if the button is accidentally pressed during high-speed driving, the car's computer will recognize it as a misoperation if it is not held down for a long time. However, if it is pressed for an extended period, an emergency braking signal will be triggered, which can cause significant damage to the car's braking system and compromise safe driving.
