What are the reasons for the airbag light to illuminate?

The reasons for the airbag light to illuminate: 1. Normal self-check illumination: Every time the ignition switch is turned on, the indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate. If there is a system issue, the indicator light will remain on; if there is no issue, it will automatically turn off. 2. The airbag light suddenly illuminates during vehicle use: A common cause is a loose connection in the airbag wiring harness plug at the side of the vehicle seat. 3. After certain parts of the vehicle have been disassembled and reassembled, if the ignition switch is turned on before the airbag system components are properly installed, the airbag control unit will record a fault code and illuminate the airbag light. The airbag is a passive safety protection system that, when used in conjunction with seat belts, provides effective collision protection for occupants. In the event of a car collision, the airbag can reduce head injury rates by 25% and facial injury rates by approximately 80%.

I've been driving for decades and have seen many instances of the airbag light coming on. Usually, it's due to issues with the weight sensor under the seat or the impact sensor in the steering wheel, possibly caused by dust accumulation, looseness, or aging. Additionally, short circuits or open circuits in the wiring are common, especially after prolonged driving on bumpy roads, which can wear out or loosen wire connectors. Sometimes, low battery voltage can temporarily trigger the light, but it may reset after charging. More seriously, it could be a fault in the airbag control module, which requires professional diagnosis and replacement. I recommend regularly checking the wiring around the seats and dashboard area to avoid placing heavy objects on the sensors. If the light comes on, don't take it lightly—immediately find a reliable repair shop to scan for error codes. The airbag system is life-critical, and repairs can cost anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars, but safety is more important than money. Regular maintenance and care can prevent many issues.

What does the Sand Escape Mode mean?

Sand Escape Mode is a function designed for extricating vehicles stuck in sand. It enables the trapped wheels to bounce up and down, allowing sand and gravel to return beneath the wheels under gravity, thereby gradually raising the wheels. Combined with the electronic slip limitation function, it helps the vehicle escape from sandy terrain. This mode ensures both driving wheels maintain a minimal slip range simultaneously, propelling the vehicle forward while reducing the risk of getting stuck in sand. When a vehicle is trapped in sand, simply revving the engine will only cause the wheels to fling more sand upward, leading to deeper sinking. In such situations, standard vehicles typically use ESC to limit wheel spin. Drivers may also place a board under the wheels to prevent further sinking while ensuring traction for successful extrication.

What is the compensation ratio for water-damaged vehicles?

Compensation is based on the actual repair costs within the insured amount. However, if the cumulative compensation during the insurance period reaches the insured amount, the insurance liability terminates. Each claim under the water damage insurance is subject to a 20% absolute deductible rate. The coverage of water damage insurance includes: During the insurance period, if the insured vehicle covered by water damage insurance suffers direct engine damage due to water ingress, the insurance company is responsible for compensation; In the event of an insured incident, the necessary and reasonable rescue expenses paid by the insured to prevent or reduce the loss of the insured vehicle will be borne by the insurance company; The rescue expenses are calculated separately from the compensation amount for the insured vehicle's loss, with a maximum not exceeding the insured amount. If the no-deductible coverage is not purchased, full compensation is not possible. Typically, water damage insurance has a deductible rate of 15%-20%, meaning the insurance company only compensates 80%-85% of the vehicle's loss amount, and the remaining portion must be covered by the vehicle owner. For example, if replacing an engine costs 100,000 yuan, the owner would need to pay 20,000 yuan out of pocket. If the no-deductible coverage is purchased, when the vehicle meets the conditions for water damage insurance compensation, the full loss of a 200,000 yuan water-damaged vehicle can be compensated by the insurance company, and the owner does not need to pay out of pocket. Typically, the premium for water damage insurance is about 5% of the vehicle insurance premium. For a 100,000 yuan-level car, the annual premium for water damage insurance is approximately 100 yuan; for a 1,000,000 yuan car, the annual premium is about 500 yuan.
