Reasons why airbags fail to deploy: 1. The manufacturer's preset deployment conditions are not met. Different automakers have varying criteria for airbag deployment, and if the triggering threshold is not reached, the airbag will not inflate. 2. The vehicle collision occurs at an angle that fails to activate the impact sensors, such as hitting the headlight area, front wheel position, or small objects. 3. The airbag warning light remains lit without timely inspection and repair. 4. Seat covers may cause side airbags to malfunction. 5. The airbag has reached the end of its service life. Precautions: 1. Airbags exert significant force upon deployment, so always use them in conjunction with seat belts. 2. Maintain proper seating posture with your back against the seat and minimal space between your head and the headrest. 3. Avoid placing objects near airbag compartments as they may become dangerous projectiles during deployment. 4. Never modify vehicle wiring without professional assistance, especially circuits related to airbag systems.

What to Do When the Key is Locked in a Pajero?

Since modern car keys are not the old-fashioned type, as long as they are within the detectable range, the trunk can be opened. After opening the trunk, most cars have a 'small door' between the trunk and the interior. Try climbing through it to retrieve the key.

What are the tire specifications for the eighth-generation Accord?

The eighth-generation Accord has two tire specifications: 215/50R16 and 225/50R17. For 215/50R16, the first number 215 represents the tire width of 215MM, 50 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 50%, meaning the section height is 50% of the width, and 16 represents the rim diameter of 16 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. For 225/50R17, the first number 225 represents the tire width of 225MM, 50 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 50%, meaning the section height is 50% of the width, and 17 represents the rim diameter of 17 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. The 2.0L model of the eighth-generation Accord is equipped with Yokohama tires, the 2.5L model uses Yokohama tires, and the 3.0L model uses Michelin tires. The spare tire is non-full size. If you want to change the tires yourself, you can follow these steps: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame of the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame. Raise the jack until it supports the car. The jack should be positioned under the vehicle, and ensure it is perpendicular to the ground. Remove the hub cover, loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not completely loosen the nuts; just enough to eliminate resistance. When loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts, not the tire, are turning. Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose. Repeat this step for all lug nuts and remove them completely. Place the new tire on the rim, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts. Install the lug nuts and tighten them by hand until all nuts are snug. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the specifications, the following common data are also marked on the tire: Tire cord material: indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h. Rim specification: indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard rim 5.04F".

How to Check if You've Crossed the Line in an S-Curve?

Keep a small triangle between the lower left corner of the windshield and the curve line to ensure you don't cross the line. When turning in the middle, it's better to lean slightly left than right. When steering, turn the wheel one full turn to the left, then add another 90 degrees before switching to one full turn to the right. When exiting the curve, adjust your sitting position so you can see the curve line in the rearview mirror. If you're too close to the line, steer left; if too far, steer right.
