An abnormal BMW occupant protection system indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's airbag system. Below is an introduction to the BMW occupant protection system: Introduction to the causes of airbag malfunctions: BMW vehicles differ significantly from other cars in their airbag systems. They are equipped with one or more airbag control units, referred to as satellite control units, and multiple sensors. You can check the specific issue in the central display or have it diagnosed at a service station or repair shop. If the vehicle has not been involved in a collision, the issue is usually related to the seat occupancy recognition system, which is prone to damage. Solutions for airbag malfunctions: The "occupant protection system malfunction" is quite common, and in most cases, it is a false alarm caused by improper handling during maintenance, installation, or modification. This fault indicates a problem with the safety system (airbags, seat belts, etc.), often due to technicians improperly disconnecting or reconnecting safety system-related plugs while working on other components. This fault can usually be cleared using a diagnostic tool.

Why does the car body shake when the speed exceeds 80 mph?

The reasons for car body shaking when the speed exceeds 80 mph are: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits. When the fuel injectors have excessive carbon buildup or the throttle valve is too dirty, the excessive carbon deposits inside the engine can cause the gasoline sprayed during cold starts to be absorbed by the carbon deposits; 2. Poor ignition system performance, with suboptimal spark plug firing. Check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon buildup and replace them promptly if necessary; 3. Unstable fuel pressure. If the car body still shakes at idle after cleaning the throttle valve, engine carbon deposits, spark plugs, and replacing the fuel pads, it is necessary to check whether the intake pressure sensor and fuel supply pressure are normal. It is recommended to take the car to a repair shop to inspect the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor. Abnormal fuel pump supply pressure or incorrect readings and poor performance of the intake pressure sensor can all cause the car body to shake.

What is the reason for the constant illumination of the brake light on Dongfeng Fengguang 580?

The constant illumination of the brake light on the Dongfeng Fengguang 580 indicates a potential fault in the system. It is necessary to use a car computer diagnostic tool at a repair shop, where the issue will be addressed based on the fault code. Below are the relevant details: 1. Cause of the fault: The force applied to the brake pedal during driving is transmitted through the brake master cylinder piston to the brake wheel cylinders at each wheel, causing the brake pads to contact the wheels and achieve the braking effect. A lack of brake fluid is often accompanied by noticeably insufficient braking force, and in severe cases, a complete loss of braking power. Insufficient brake fluid can cause the brake pedal to sink, keeping the brake switch continuously powered, which results in the brake light staying on. 2. Powertrain: The Fengguang 580 is equipped with two engines: a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 139 horsepower and a maximum torque of 187 N·m, featuring multi-point fuel injection technology and an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block.

How to Handle the Loss of an ETC Card?

The procedure for handling a lost ETC card: 1. Bring the original and a copy of your ID card to a bank branch counter to apply for a card change, replacement, or reissuance; 2. Bring the original and a copy of your ID card to a bank branch, fill out an ETC service application form, and apply for the suspension of ETC functions, which will take effect within 24 hours from the time of acceptance; 3. After receiving the new card, go to the designated bank branch to activate the ETC function; 4. After receiving the new card, call the bank's credit card customer service to activate the card, and the ETC function will be automatically available within 5 working days. When replacing the card, be careful not to enable 'small amount contactless payment' to effectively avoid ETC fraud. After processing the ETC, the staff will attach the ETC device to the front windshield on-site. If it is removed or becomes loose and falls off, the anti-tamper guide rod will pop out, triggering the ETC electronic tag to lock and become unusable. In this case, you need to go to an ETC service point to unlock and reactivate it.

What tire models are used for the Dongfeng Peugeot 408?

Dongfeng Peugeot 408's 1.6L version uses tire model 215/55/R16, while the 2.0L version uses 215/50/R17. The original tires are from Goodyear. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, founded in 1898 and headquartered in Akron, Ohio, USA, is one of the world's largest tire manufacturers. It introduced pneumatic tires in 1899 and patented tubeless tires in 1903. In 1909, it launched pneumatic tires for aircraft and trucks, followed by the Goodyear "Airship" four years later. For the Dongfeng Peugeot 408's tires, the following points should be noted during daily use: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear from driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks can also pose a risk of tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool overheated tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, increasing air pressure. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool them, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the ground.
