The purpose of using a tensioner pulley for the drive belt is to adjust the initial tension of the belt. The tensioner pulley mainly consists of a fixed housing, tensioner arm, wheel body, torsion spring, rolling bearing, and spring bushing, etc. It can automatically adjust the tension according to the different tightness levels of the belt, ensuring the transmission system is stable, safe, and reliable. The tensioner pulley uses a spring or hydraulic pressure to generate a force that tightens the belt, allowing the belt to press against the working pulley with appropriate pressure. Precautions for the tensioner pulley are: 1. The tension force of the tensioner pulley should not be too small, as insufficient tension will reduce the friction between the belt and the working pulley, eventually causing the belt to slip; 2. The tensioner pulley should generally be placed on the inner side of the slack side, so that the belt is subjected to only one-way bending, and it should also be as close as possible to the large pulley to avoid excessively affecting the wrap angle of the small pulley.

What to Do When the Dashboard of Nissan Qashqai Does Not Display the Low Beam Indicator?

After turning on the low beam, no indicator appears on the dashboard. Only when the high beam is activated does a high beam indicator light up on the dashboard. For most vehicles, the dashboard does not display any indicator when the low beam is on. However, the dashboard's backlight generally dims when the low beam is activated, and the brightness increases when the low beam is turned off. The lighting control area for most cars is located on the left side of the main steering wheel, and the lighting control buttons are usually rotary knobs. More details are as follows: 1. The new Qashqai follows the design of the overseas version, with Nissan's V-Motion design language evolving towards a more youthful style. The grille area is larger than the current model, featuring a honeycomb pattern inside. 2. The LED headlights have a sharp design, and the front bumper's side shapes are more three-dimensional, with more complex air intake designs.

Does the new RAV4 have knee airbags?

The new RAV4 is equipped with knee airbags. Knee airbags, short for Knee Airbag (KAB), are an internal automotive device designed to reduce the risk of injury to the occupants' knees from the vehicle's interior during a secondary collision. Airbags are a remarkable high-tech feature in modern cars. More details are as follows: 1. The new RAV4 comes standard with airbags across all models, offering relatively high safety ratings. In addition, the safety features of the new RAV4 include front and rear side airbags, front and rear curtain airbags, a tire pressure monitoring system, a lane departure warning system, a lane keeping assist system, and an automatic emergency braking system. 2. The electronic control safety airbag system is a passive safety protection system that is activated only when the vehicle is subjected to a severe impact. 3. It works in conjunction with seat belts. When a collision occurs, both receive signals simultaneously, causing the airbag to inflate rapidly like a balloon and then burst through the panel to protect the driver. 4. This way, the airbag can provide effective collision protection for the occupants, increasing the survival rate of passengers in the event of a major accident.
