The DMS in cars is actually the Driver Monitoring System. It's a type of camera and sensor installed in the vehicle that specifically monitors the driver's condition to prevent us from getting distracted or fatigued while driving. I often get stuck in traffic on my way to work, and once I was so tired I almost fell asleep, but the DMS sounded an alarm and woke me up. This device alerts you by detecting whether your eyes are closed or your head is tilted, and now it comes standard in many new cars. I think of it as an invisible partner, silently guarding safety. Especially during long trips, it detects inattention and sounds a warning to avoid rear-end collisions. Some people think it's nosy, but it's particularly useful for beginners or the elderly. It's best to have one installed in your car to reduce the risk of drowsy driving.

The DMS in cars stands for Driver Monitoring System, which helps prevent traffic accidents caused by drowsiness or phone distractions. I've been concerned about traffic safety for many years and know that accidents each year are often related to fatigue. This system uses infrared cameras to track your gaze and head movements, flashing lights or vibrating the steering wheel as a warning once it detects any abnormalities. It not only protects you but also safeguards others on the road. I recommend checking if the DMS is enabled before driving and not turning off the alert function. Simply put, it's like a personal bodyguard, always preventing accidents.

DMS in a car refers to the Driver Monitoring System, which uses cameras and AI algorithms to monitor whether you are paying attention while driving. I've seen how it works: a small lens is aimed at the driver's face, and the software analyzes eye opening/closing and posture, triggering an alarm if the eyes are closed for too long. This technology reduces misjudgments, and now many cars integrate it into the smart dashboard. Remember, it requires a clear view and should not be obstructed.

Can Water Enter the Transmission When Driving Through Water?

After driving through water, the transmission, differential, or front/rear axles and differential may take in water. Generally, transmission water ingress is mainly caused by the following two situations: Water level exceeds two-thirds of the wheel: If the water level surpasses two-thirds of the wheel, the probability of water entering the transmission is around 80% to 90%. If the water has reached the dashboard level, the transmission is 100% flooded. Water splash during oncoming traffic: When encountering oncoming vehicles, excessive road water can lead to water entering the transmission. Once water enters the transmission, the performance of the transmission fluid will be affected. The performance of the transmission fluid will also degrade, causing the clutch plates to slip.

Should You Use First Gear or Second Gear When Driving Through Water?

Depending on the water depth, if the water level is not too high, it is recommended to drive in second gear. In situations with deep water and heavy traffic, first gear should be used. Below are the components that should be inspected after driving through water: Chassis: The water in puddles often contains dust and mud. Dirty water stains on the chassis should be cleaned, and debris trapped in gaps should be removed.
