The extended usage methods of the vehicle self-help rescue system are as follows: 1. In an emergency, press and hold the SOS button for more than 2 seconds, and the vehicle emergency warning and rescue system will automatically send a distress signal and actively call emergency services. 2. Occupants in the vehicle can communicate through the emergency microphone. 3.

What is a Crane Operator?

Crane operators are workers who operate overhead cranes. Overhead Crane: This is the common term people use for bridge cranes, gantry cranes, or overhead traveling cranes, which are essentially the same as standard cranes. There are basically two types of crane driving mechanisms: 1. Centralized drive: Uses one motor to drive a long transmission shaft that powers the driving wheels on both sides. 2. Independent drive: Each driving wheel on both sides is powered by its own motor. Medium and small bridge cranes often adopt an integrated "three-in-one" driving system combining the brake, reducer, and motor. For ordinary bridge cranes with large lifting capacities, universal couplings are commonly used in the driving devices to facilitate installation and adjustment.

Where to Turn On the Car Air Conditioning Cooling?

The car air conditioning switch is the A/C button, which serves as the cooling switch. Pressing the A/C button activates the compressor, commonly referred to as turning on the cold air. Below is relevant information: 1. Air Conditioning Buttons: The car air conditioning system primarily has three basic adjustments: air volume, temperature, and air direction. The first is the air volume button, also known as the fan speed button, depicted by a small "fan" icon. Adjust the knob to select the desired air volume. 2. Recirculation Button: There is also the car recirculation button, represented by an icon of "a car with a circular arrow inside." Enabling recirculation means the air blown by the blower circulates only within the car interior, similar to using an electric fan with the door closed. Since no external air is involved, recirculation offers the advantages of fuel efficiency and faster cooling.
