If the vehicle damage is not severe, the insurance company will assess the loss and compensate for the damaged components. If the entire vehicle is submerged in water, the insurance company will generally sign a total loss agreement with the owner and provide a certain amount of compensation according to the agreed insured amount.

What does AEB mean in cars?

AEB stands for Autonomous Emergency Braking, which is translated as automatic braking system in Chinese. It is an active vehicle safety technology that can automatically monitor the distance and relative speed of objects ahead. When the driver brakes too late, with insufficient braking force, or fails to brake, the vehicle will issue a warning or initiate autonomous braking. Process of Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB): If the driver does not respond to the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and the danger level continues to escalate, the system will request the powertrain to reduce torque and the braking system to perform emergency braking. Active torque reduction: in dangerous situations, the system can request the powertrain to reduce torque. Emergency braking: depending on the target identified by the sensors and the danger level, the system can apply different levels of autonomous braking. Classification of Autonomous Emergency Braking: Partial Autonomous Emergency Braking (Standard) (AEB-Pstandard) Standard partial autonomous emergency braking triggers early (simultaneously with the emergency warning), primarily to give the driver more reaction time. If the driver does not respond, it will also reduce the danger level of the accident. This function is used for moving and stationary targets, with a deceleration range of (-1.5~-3.5) m/s², and can reduce the vehicle speed by up to 40 km/h. Partial Autonomous Emergency Braking (Enhanced) (AEB-Pextended) When the driver does not respond to the standard partial autonomous emergency braking or the situation is already very urgent, the system will activate partial emergency braking with higher deceleration to avoid an accident or reduce its severity. This function is used for moving and stationary targets, with a deceleration range of (-1.5~-6) m/s², and can reduce the vehicle speed by up to 40 km/h. Medium-speed Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB-M) Used for moving and stationary targets. This function activates at medium speeds. When the system calculates that a large, uncomfortable deceleration is necessary to avoid a collision, it will trigger this function to perform automatic braking to minimize the relative speed between the two vehicles as much as possible. This function is used for moving and stationary targets, with a deceleration range of (-1.5~-8) m/s², and can reduce the vehicle speed by up to 40 km/h. High-speed Autonomous Emergency Braking This function is used for emergency braking when the sensors detect pedestrians, with higher priority than AEB-M. The maximum deceleration is -9 m/s², and it can reduce the vehicle speed by up to 24 km/h.

Can a Motorcycle Battery Be Charged?

Motorcycle batteries can be charged. Charging methods: Motorcycles are equipped with a charging system that automatically charges the battery while riding. If you prefer not to charge while riding or if the motorcycle cannot be ridden, you can use a battery charger. When using a charger, it is best to remove the battery from the motorcycle. Charge the battery at one-tenth of its capacity or with a current not exceeding 1 amp for 4-10 hours. Precautions: During charging, monitor the battery temperature. If the battery becomes noticeably hot (some warmth is normal) or produces excessive bubbles, stop charging immediately.

What does trouble code C0076 mean?

Fault code C0076 refers to the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) of the Traction Control System (TCS), indicating a fault in the vehicle's chassis system. Relevant information is as follows: 1. The Traction Control System (TCS) functions to control torque output by delaying ignition timing, upshifting early, starting in second gear, preventing torque converter lock-up, and applying brakes when it detects wheel slip. 2. The purpose of the traction control system is to provide optimal traction for the vehicle under various driving conditions.

Does a Faulty Three-Way Catalytic Converter Increase Fuel Consumption?

Yes, a damaged three-way catalytic converter increases fuel consumption. Here is some information about the three-way catalytic converter: 1. The three-way catalytic converter primarily affects vehicle emissions. Lower emissions indicate more complete fuel combustion and better fuel efficiency. When the catalytic converter is damaged, gasoline cannot burn and be utilized efficiently, naturally leading to higher fuel consumption. 2. The function of the three-way catalytic converter is to convert harmful gases from vehicle exhaust into harmless gases. The main harmful gases in vehicle exhaust include carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO), and hydrocarbons (HC). The three-way catalytic converter uses certain chemical agents to undergo a series of chemical reactions with the harmful gases in the exhaust, converting them into harmless gases.

What is the function of a distributor?

The function of a distributor is to connect and disconnect the low-voltage circuit, causing the ignition coil to generate high-voltage current. According to the engine's firing order, it distributes the high-voltage electricity to the spark plugs of each cylinder within the specified time to ignite the air-fuel mixture. The distributor consists of a circuit breaker, distributor cap, automotive teaching model, driving simulator, capacitor, wiring harness, and ignition advance device. The working principle of the distributor: The distributor's lobe is connected to the camshaft. When the engine rotates, it drives the camshaft, which in turn operates the distributor. Through the opening and closing of internal contacts within the distributor, the effect of cylinder-specific ignition is achieved.

What does 'check' mean on the car dashboard?

The meaning of 'check' on the car dashboard is: 1. When 'check' appears on the car dashboard, it means the engine needs to be inspected. When the car key is inserted and turned to the ACC position, all indicators on the dashboard, including the yellow engine light, will illuminate. It is normal for this icon to flash occasionally, but if it stays lit after starting the engine, it indicates an immediate need for inspection and repair at a 4S shop or repair facility. A continuously lit light suggests an engine fault or a false alarm. If there is no actual fault, these indicator lights will automatically turn off. Afterward, you can start the car normally.
