Working principle of the airbag inflator: After a vehicle collision, the sensor detects the deceleration signal and transmits it to the ECU. The ECU calculates and determines whether ignition is required. If ignition is necessary, the ECU sends an electrical signal command to the generator. The generator ignites and releases gas, which rapidly fills the airbag. The airbag then deploys to protect the occupants. Airbag: An airbag is a device that inflates to protect occupants before they experience a secondary collision during a crash. It consists of an integrated airbag module comprising the airbag and the inflator (gas generator), a collision sensor system that detects the collision and sends a deployment command to the airbag module, and wiring harnesses that transmit signals from the sensors. Precautions: Airbags must be used in conjunction with seat belts; maintain an appropriate distance from the airbag while seated; do not place items in front of, above, or near the airbag.

Does tire pressure decrease as temperature drops?

As temperatures drop, tire pressure also decreases. Due to lower winter temperatures, the principle of thermal expansion and contraction causes tire pressure to reduce accordingly. If tire pressure is not appropriately increased during this time, it can not only increase the vehicle's fuel consumption but also accelerate tire wear. In winter, the rubber in tires hardens, making them relatively more brittle and reducing the friction coefficient. This requires that tire pressure should not be too high, but more importantly, not too low. In cold external temperatures, excessively low tire pressure can severely accelerate the aging of softer tires and increase contact with the ground, leading to faster friction and reduced tire lifespan. Therefore, tire maintenance is also very important. Consider switching to better winter tires. Due to the cold weather, tire rubber becomes harder compared to summer. Even though many vehicles are equipped with all-season tires, icy and slippery road conditions can challenge tire grip. For driving safety, it is essential to switch to winter tires. Pay attention to your vehicle's tire pressure to ensure that the front and rear tire surfaces on each side fully contact the ground, achieving optimal grip. At the same time, appropriate tire pressure can reduce road vibrations and enhance driving comfort.

How many years is the validity period after passing Subject 2?

The validity period for Subject 2 starts from the date of passing Subject 1 and lasts for three years. Validity Period: For first-time applicants for a motor vehicle driver's license or applicants adding a permitted vehicle type, the vehicle management office should issue a driving skill test permit within one day after passing Subject 1. The driving skill test permit is valid for three years, and applicants must complete Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests within this validity period. If the tests are not completed within the validity period, the passed subjects' scores will be voided. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test. For small vehicles C1 and C2, the test items include five mandatory tests: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns).

Does the Mercedes-Benz E-Class have an upright emblem?

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class does have an upright emblem. More details about Mercedes-Benz are as follows: The meaning of the emblem: The emblem of Mercedes-Benz is a three-pointed star, symbolizing the aspiration to conquer land, sea, and air. The emblem was created after the merger of Daimler and Benz companies. The Daimler company's trademark was a three-pointed star, while the Benz company's trademark was the word "BENZ" within a double circle. After the merger, the emblem became a three-pointed star within a circle. Among many car brands, the Mercedes-Benz emblem stands out for its unique aura, which is partly due to the fact that Mercedes-Benz has two types of emblems: the "large emblem" and the "upright emblem". The meaning of the upright emblem: The presence projected by the Mercedes-Benz "upright emblem" is incomparable to that of the "large emblem". It not only represents elegance and luxury but also appeals to many business magnates, political leaders, corporate executives, and other affluent individuals. The upright emblem is more commonly used on high-end models such as the S600 and S500. In simple terms, the classic "Tiger Head" Mercedes-Benz models featured the upright emblem.

How Often Should a BMW Display Key Be Charged?

Under normal usage, the BMW display key typically requires charging every 10 days. Below is relevant information about the BMW display key: Charging Methods for the BMW Display Key: The BMW display key can be charged either wirelessly or via USB. The wireless charging device (SA6NW) is located beneath the center armrest. Insert the remote key with the lock button facing upwards into the protruding clip of the charger under the armrest. Alternatively, you can charge the key at home using a wireless charging pad that comes with a smartphone. For USB charging, connect the remote to a USB interface via the Micro-USB socket on the left side. Charging time for a depleted remote: approximately 2.5 hours via USB cable and about 4 hours via wireless charging. Features of the BMW Display Key: The display key allows for parking ventilation. This feature is particularly useful in summer when the car has been exposed to intense sunlight. If the car is equipped with a preheating device, it can also be used for preheating; checking security information; and viewing vehicle information such as fuel consumption, tire pressure, remaining range, and more.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz E260L in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes-Benz E260L is 66 liters, and the manufacturer recommends using 95-octane gasoline. Maintenance for the fuel tank is as follows: Drain accumulated water and sediment from the fuel tank, and check for oil leaks at pipe joints and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and vapor valves, also inspect whether the vent holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler neck should remain intact to prevent impurities from entering the tank during refueling and clogging the fuel lines. The sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap should also be intact to avoid fuel spillage while driving. To check the remaining fuel level, observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with 'E' and 'F.' When the needle is close to 'E,' it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the tank is full. Methods to open the fuel tank: Mechanical key opening: This method is commonly found in rugged off-road vehicles but is rarely used in modern family cars. In-car switch method: The location of the in-car fuel tank switch varies by model. Always remember to turn off the engine before refueling. Press-to-open method: The press-to-open fuel tank door is currently the most convenient option.

Is the Mercedes MO tire a run-flat tire?

Mercedes MO marked tires are run-flat tires. Run-flat tires are technically called "run-flat tires" with the English abbreviation RSC. The inflated tire sidewall is the main part that supports the weight of the vehicle, especially for tires with a larger aspect ratio (the ratio of tire height to width), where the sidewall is very "thick." A severe "blowout" usually causes the sidewall to burst instantly, causing the tire to lose support immediately, leading to an instant change in the vehicle's center of gravity. Particularly in the case of a front-wheel blowout in a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the sudden shift in the center of gravity can cause the vehicle to lose control. Benefits of run-flat tires: Enhanced safety—The specially thickened sidewalls of run-flat tires allow them to continue supporting the vehicle even after a complete loss of air pressure, enabling safe driving at speeds of up to 80 km/h for approximately 80 km. This significantly improves the vehicle's driving safety. Reduced vehicle weight—If a vehicle is equipped with run-flat tires, the spare tire typically stored in the trunk is usually omitted. Without the spare tire, the vehicle's weight is reduced, which can improve fuel economy to some extent. Additionally, the absence of a spare tire allows automakers to better optimize the vehicle's front and rear weight distribution.
