It is normal to hear a hissing sound from the shock absorbers when the car passes over speed bumps. Additional information: 1. Passing speed bumps quickly: When a vehicle passes over a speed bump at a higher speed, intense vibrations are transmitted from the tires through the body and seats to the driver. The vertical curve can generate a vertical acceleration, producing strong physiological stimulation (including vibration and visual stimulation) as well as psychological stimulation. 2. Sense of security: Physiological stimulation causes the driver to feel intense discomfort, while psychological stimulation deepens the driver's sense of insecurity, further reducing their perception of safety in the road environment. Generally, the greater the discomfort perceived by the driver, the lower the perceived safety of the vehicle's movement, i.e., the smaller the sense of security. 3. Speed bumps: The installation of speed bumps lowers the driver's expectations regarding driving safety and ride comfort, prompting them to choose a lower expected speed. Guided by this expected speed, the driver will actively drive the vehicle at a lower speed when approaching and passing over the speed bump.

What to do if the Volvo XC90 air conditioner is not cooling?

After checking that there is no leakage in the air conditioning system, an appropriate amount of refrigerant should be added. It is necessary to release an appropriate amount of refrigerant from the low-pressure side to achieve normal exhaust pressure and temperature. If the system's low-pressure value is too low and there is a noticeable temperature difference in the pipes before and after the receiver-drier, the receiver-drier needs to be replaced or the refrigeration system should be cleaned.

How to Release the Handbrake?

When waiting at a traffic light, pulling the handbrake 2-3 notches is sufficient; avoid pulling it too high. When engaging the handbrake, do not yank it abruptly. The correct method is to pull it up gently and smoothly. While pulling the handbrake, the button on the handbrake lever may move back and forth. It's best to press the button with the pad of your thumb before pulling the handbrake. Some people have the habit of releasing the handbrake only after the vehicle starts moving. This increases wear on the handbrake and, over time, reduces its lifespan.
