The functions of car airbags are as follows: Airbags can evenly distribute the impact force on the head and chest, preventing fragile passengers from directly colliding with the car body, greatly reducing the possibility of injury; Airbags can indeed effectively protect passengers during frontal collisions, and even if seat belts are not fastened, the anti-collision airbags are still sufficient to effectively reduce injuries. Information about airbags is as follows: 1. The airbag system is a passive (see car safety performance) safety protection system. When used in conjunction with seat belts, it can provide effective collision protection for occupants. 2. A typical airbag system consists of two components: a collision detection ignition device (or sensor) and a gas generator airbag (or airbag).

What are the differences between KYB shock absorbers' blue, yellow, and black versions?

KYB shock absorbers come in three color options: blue, yellow, and black, which differ in the following two aspects: 1. Development purpose: The blue shock absorbers are developed based on actual vehicles and are generally used as aftermarket modifications for cars. The yellow shock absorbers are designed for sports models, while the black shock absorbers are developed as replacements for the original vehicle shock absorbers. 2. Performance effects: The blue shock absorbers offer slightly better performance than the factory ones, effectively suppressing body roll during motion to enhance the driver's handling experience. The yellow shock absorbers can lower the vehicle's chassis after installation, improving driving stability. The black shock absorbers are designed to closely match the original vehicle's shock absorbers in terms of structure and performance, focusing more on comfort. If the original shock absorbers fail, the black ones can be used as replacements.

How much fuel does it take to run the car with AC on for an hour?

Leaving the car idling with the AC on for one hour consumes approximately 2 liters of fuel. Here are some important considerations when using the car's air conditioning: 1. Avoid smoking while the AC is on: Many people occasionally smoke to stay alert while driving with the AC on. However, smoking with the AC running prevents smoke from being promptly vented outside the car, which can harm the eyes and respiratory system. 2. Do not adjust the temperature arbitrarily: To cool down quickly, some people set the AC to the lowest temperature. While this may feel comfortable initially, it can negatively affect the body's endocrine system. Prolonged exposure to excessively low temperatures may lead to symptoms like leg soreness and general chills. It's recommended to maintain a temperature difference of 5-6°C from the outdoor temperature.

Where to Check the Tire Pressure Monitoring in Volkswagen Sagitar?

Volkswagen's tire pressure reset button is displayed in the middle of the dashboard. The tire pressure data of Volkswagen vehicles is shown in the middle of the dashboard. Press the menu button below the display to view the tire pressure data of all four wheels. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually, an alarm will be triggered if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply perform a tire pressure reset to resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation port. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

Does the highway toll-free period refer to the time of entering or exiting the highway?

During holidays, the highway toll-free period is calculated based on the time of exiting the highway. Below are the relevant details about holiday highway toll exemptions: 1. Vehicle eligibility for toll-free passage: The toll exemption applies only to passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats), as well as motorcycles permitted to operate on highways. 2. Criteria: If you enter the highway during the toll-free period but exit outside of it, you will not qualify for toll-free passage. Conversely, if you enter outside the toll-free period but exit during it, you will still be eligible for toll-free passage.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 2011 Buick Excelle in liters?

The 2011 Buick Excelle with a 1.6L engine has a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. This data is official, and owners of the 2011 Buick Excelle 1.6L can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 2011 Buick Excelle 1.6L uses 92-octane gasoline, with an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 8L/100km. A full tank can travel approximately 750 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit. There is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is designed to accommodate fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount may exceed the marked capacity. Other factors that affect fuel consumption include: Vehicle weight: There is a direct correlation between vehicle weight and fuel consumption. A 10% reduction in weight can lead to a corresponding reduction in fuel consumption. Vehicle aerodynamics: A lower drag coefficient results in lower fuel consumption, while a higher drag coefficient increases fuel consumption. Tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases friction and adhesion, leading to higher fuel consumption. Driving habits: Aggressive acceleration and frequent braking can significantly increase fuel consumption. Wind direction: Driving with a tailwind reduces fuel consumption, while driving against a headwind increases engine workload and fuel consumption. Road conditions: Fuel consumption is lower on flat roads and higher on rough or steep roads. Additional electronic devices: Using extra equipment like air conditioning during driving increases fuel consumption.
