Shanghai Volkswagen is replacing Takata airbags in the recall. Introduction to airbags: A passive safety device that rapidly inflates during a vehicle accident to protect occupants. Airbags are a high-tech product in automotive passive safety. Automotive airbag system: The automotive airbag system (abbreviated as SRS) is a supplementary safety system, typically serving as an auxiliary safety device to seat belts. Airbags and seat belts are designed to work together - without seat belts, the effectiveness of airbags is significantly reduced. According to research, using airbags alone can reduce accident mortality by approximately 18%, using seat belts alone can reduce it by about 42%, while combining both can reduce mortality by around 47%. This demonstrates that only through their coordinated use can maximum accident mortality reduction be achieved, making the airbag system an essential supplementary system to seat belts.

Can Uncomfortable Car Seats Be Replaced?

Car seats can be replaced, but replacing seats is considered vehicle modification and may not pass annual inspections. It is recommended not to replace them. Here is relevant information: 1. If car seats are altered arbitrarily, the vehicle will definitely fail the annual inspection, as this involves modifying the car's structure. Moreover, arbitrary modifications pose significant safety hazards, especially when driving on highways, creating substantial risks. 2. The seat position is calculated and designed to be precisely at the force-bearing point. Unauthorized changes to the force-bearing point can affect the car's balance and seat safety. It is best to purchase seat covers that are easy to clean, durable, provide insulation, and are personalized, with comfort being the most important factor.

Can Fully Synthetic Engine Oil Be Used in Any Car?

Fully synthetic engine oil is not suitable for economy cars or even some mid-to-high-end sedans. Here is relevant information: 1. Due to the lower manufacturing processes and technology of economy car engines compared to high-end sedans, using fully synthetic oil is not conducive to cold starts and may affect sealing performance, potentially leading to engine wear. Therefore, economy cars are best suited for semi-synthetic oil or the manufacturer-specified oil type. 2. Engine oil should not be changed arbitrarily. It is recommended to continue using the same type of oil as originally specified by the manufacturer. If the engine or computer has been modified, the decision to use fully synthetic oil should be made based on the specific circumstances. Additionally, since it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of engine oil quality in the current market, it is advisable for car owners to change their oil at authorized 4S shops.

What Causes the Zizzing Noise in a Scooter Motorcycle?

The causes of the zizzing noise in a scooter motorcycle are as follows: 1. The zizzing sound when starting the scooter motorcycle may be due to the slipping sound of the overrunning clutch. Worn or damaged overrunning clutch, combined with the high resistance of a cold engine, can produce this noise. Inspect the clutch and repair or replace it if necessary. 2. If the zizzing sound occurs easily upon starting, check whether the carburetor's air-fuel mixture is too lean, whether the idle speed is too low, whether the carburetor's electronic choke is malfunctioning, or whether the carburetor itself has poor performance. Also, check whether the valve clearance is too small or not properly closed, and whether the spark plug is faulty.

Can You Drive Away a Used Car Purchased in Another City on the Same Day?

You can drive away a used car purchased in another city on the same day. Here are the details about buying a used car in another city: 1. Reason: If the used car has not been transferred to your name, you can drive it away with the original owner's consent. Driving the car away on the same day can also prevent the owner from selling the car parts. Even if you cannot drive it away the same day, you should still carefully inspect the car components. 2. Precautions: If possible, pay the full amount for the used car at once instead of choosing installment payments. This is because used car dealers may install a GPS device on the car for installment payments, and the GPS will only be removed after the full payment is made.
