oddtcs is an airbag fault code. The following are situations when the airbag warning light is on: 1. Instrument self-check: When entering the vehicle and during the short period of ignition, the instrument panel will perform an automatic check. After the automatic check is completed, the airbag light will automatically turn off, which usually takes about 5 seconds and is a normal phenomenon. If the airbag light remains on for a long time after the self-check is completed, it can be determined that there is indeed a fault. 2. False fault: If the battery is low on power, it can also cause the airbag warning light to come on. The airbag may also feedback a signal indicating low airbag pressure and generate a fault code at the same time. In this case, simply clear the fault code. 3. Real fault: If the above two causes are ruled out, it may be a wiring fault, and immediate repair is necessary. The cause of this fault may be related to the airbag, collision sensor, airbag clock spring, or other wiring faults.

How many kilometers does a vehicle generally need for routine maintenance?

Normally, a car should be serviced every 5,000 kilometers. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as car servicing. The purpose is to keep the car clean and in good technical condition, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. The methods for car maintenance are as follows: 1. Turn on the ignition before starting the vehicle. 2. Regularly check the brake pads. 3. Let the car idle for about a minute when starting cold. 4. Refuel promptly before the oil light comes on. 5. Do not drag the gear while driving. 6. Do not accelerate sharply when starting; shift gears when reaching a certain RPM.

Where is the air filter of the 2017 Lavida located?

The air filter of the 2017 Lavida is located in the upper left corner of the engine compartment, under the wipers. Open the engine hood, and you will find a hexagonal screw in the red frame on the left front side. The air filter is under the cover plate. Here is more information about the air filter: 1. The air filter is a specialized filter used for air purification inside the car. While driving, the car draws in external air, which contains various particles and dust. Prolonged exposure to such air not only affects human health but also pollutes the car's air conditioning system and reduces the performance of the cooling system. The air filter effectively solves these issues by filtering out smoke odors, pollen, dust, harmful gases, and various odors. 2. The air filter can be cleaned and reused; it doesn't necessarily need replacement when dirty. However, it must not be cleaned with water. To clean the air filter, use compressed air blown from the opposite side. Hold the air gun about 5cm away from the filter and blow at 500kPa pressure for approximately 2 minutes. 3. There are two types of air filters: one without activated carbon and another with activated carbon. The one with activated carbon performs better but is also more expensive.

How to Identify the Quality of Shock Absorbers

Methods to identify the quality of shock absorbers are as follows: 1. Check for leaks. Shock absorbers operate hydraulically, and hydraulic oil is crucial for their function. Only with hydraulic oil can shock absorbers perform effectively. Normally, the surface of a shock absorber should be dry and clean. If you find the exterior wet or even notice oil leakage on the upper part of the piston rod during inspection, it indicates a problem with the shock absorber. 2. Listen to the wheel sounds. The best way to test the quality of shock absorbers is to drive the car on rough roads. With functioning shock absorbers, the car will experience bumps but also a noticeable cushioning effect. If the shock absorbers are faulty, the bumps will feel more pronounced, and the wheels may produce a "thudding" sound when moving up and down, indicating the shock absorbers are no longer working and need replacement. 3. Steering test. Sometimes, only one shock absorber is faulty, and the issue may not be obvious when driving straight. However, during turns, the car's body tilt will increase noticeably. In some faster turns, the car might even skid. In such cases, the shock absorber may not be completely broken, but its damping force has significantly decreased and can no longer counteract the compression force generated by the car's suspension springs. 4. Temperature check by hand. Drive the car on rough roads for about 10 kilometers, then stop and touch the outer shell of the shock absorber. Normally, due to friction, the shock absorber should feel slightly warm. If the shell feels cold, it means the shock absorber was not functioning during the drive. At this point, check whether the shock absorber is broken or if there are other reasons. 5. Regularly inspect the exterior of the shock absorber. Shock absorbers also have dust covers and rubber pads. Although damage to these parts won't affect the shock absorber's function, it can cause unusual noises during driving, which may interfere with diagnosing other vehicle issues. If you notice damage, it's best to repair it promptly.

Can I Drive on the Highway After Removing the ETC Card?

You can drive on the highway after removing the ETC card and complete the toll payment manually. However, it is recommended not to remove the card, as doing so may cause connection issues with the device and prevent direct passage through the highway. Benefits of Installing ETC: Saves Time: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and Eco-Friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, and minimizing pollution; Reduces Wear and Tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lowering wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improves Efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC systems more updated, faster, and more technologically advanced. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. How ETC Works: Through the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield, it communicates with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station via dedicated short-range communication. This utilizes computer networking technology to process backend settlements with banks, enabling vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the required fees.

What to Do If the Car Sunroof Leaks?

If the car sunroof leaks, check the drainage holes to determine if they are clogged by observing the drainage condition. If it is confirmed that the car's drainage pipe is blocked, it is necessary to go to a professional repair shop for treatment. If the car sunroof leak is caused by aging sealing strips, new sealing strips should be replaced promptly. Precautions for checking the sunroof drainage ports: 1. Check the leakage condition of the sunroof and whether the drainage ports are blocked by dust or fallen leaves. Most sunroof leaks are caused by clogged drainage holes. If blocked, clean out the dust and fallen leaves; 2. Check whether the sealing strips of the car sunroof show signs of aging. Rubber components will harden and age after being used for a period of time. Once the sealing strips age, the sunroof's sealing performance will decrease, leading to leaks, and new sealing strips should be replaced.
