The correct method for using national standard seat belts is to fasten them high and buckle them low. Below are the specific functions of car seat belts: 1. Protecting passenger safety: Car seat belts can protect passengers, especially when driving on highways where rear passengers need to wear seat belts. A seat belt buckle is a device that can be inserted into the seat belt socket, preventing the seat belt warning alarm from sounding if the driver does not fasten the seat belt. 2. Ensuring driving safety: Seat belts are the only guarantee of driving safety for drivers and represent an active safety measure. Even when driving at relatively low speeds, in the event of a collision or emergency braking, the resulting inertia force, though relatively small, is still enough to prevent drivers and passengers from controlling their bodies, leading to collisions with hard components such as the steering wheel and windshield, which can cause bodily harm.

Having used seat belts for decades, I've learned that the correct method is crucial. National standards specify that the shoulder strap should rest on the shoulder blade, not the neck, while the lap belt should pass below the hip bones and fit snugly against the hips. After fastening, pull the belt tight to ensure no twists or looseness. The seated posture must be upright against the backrest, not leaning forward, and the buckle must click securely. Why emphasize this? In a crash, seat belts can reduce severe injury risks by 80%. Children must not use adult belts but require child seats. Personally, checking the belt is my first action upon entering the car—a habit that can save lives. Many young people today overlook this, thinking it's trivial, but on highways, regret comes too late after an accident. Regularly inspect belts for wear and replace them, especially before long trips where repeated checks are essential.

As a mother of two, I always pay special attention to seat belt usage when driving. According to national standards, the shoulder strap should rest on the shoulder without being too high to avoid neck injury, while the lap belt should be secured below the navel and not allowed to shift position - just listen for the click of the buckle. The key point is that children must use special seats with height-adjustable seat belts to ensure proper shoulder strap positioning. I remember one time when I forgot to fasten it tightly and nearly had an accident - since then, our whole family reminds each other every time we start the car. Proper usage prevents children from being thrown out during collisions. Also remember to check that the belts are clean and not stuck, and replace aging belts in older cars immediately. These simple steps protect the whole family's safety. Developing good habits starts with every car ride - never consider it a hassle.

Why does the car air conditioner sometimes blow cold and sometimes hot?

The reasons why the car air conditioner sometimes blows cold and sometimes hot are: 1. Dirty air filter; 2. Damaged blower or air conditioning flap motor; 3. Insufficient refrigerant in the air conditioning system; 4. Dirty radiator or condenser; 5. Faulty air conditioning pressure sensor or evaporator box sensor. The car air conditioning system includes cooling devices, heating devices, and ventilation devices. This combined system makes full use of the limited space inside the vehicle with a simple structure. The car air conditioner is used to adjust and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and air flow inside the car compartment to an optimal state, providing passengers with a comfortable riding environment, reducing travel fatigue, creating good working conditions for the driver, and serving as an important ventilation device for ensuring safe driving.
