What is the reason for the Lavida recall to replace the airbag gas generator?

Lavida is recalling and replacing the airbag gas generator because some vehicles are equipped with ammonium nitrate gas generators produced by the company without a desiccant in the driver and front passenger seats. Introduction to ammonium nitrate gas: It is an ammonium salt with the chemical formula NH4NO3, appearing as white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water, prone to moisture absorption and caking, and absorbs a large amount of heat when dissolved. It is an oxidizing agent that decomposes explosively under strong impact or heating, and decomposes in the presence of alkali. It is mainly used as fertilizer and for industrial and military explosives. Principle of airbags: Car airbags are designed to deploy within a very short time after a collision. The ECU sends an ignition command, the gas generator detonates to release gas, and the airbag inflates, breaking through the cover to form a cushion, preventing the forward-moving occupants from hitting the steering wheel, dashboard, or other car components.

What is the purpose of highway laser lights?

Highway laser lights serve as alerting and warning devices. These green lasers are anti-fatigue driving warning lights installed on highways, featuring high brightness and long range. They effectively stimulate the brain of drivers who have been driving for extended periods at night, helping to combat fatigue. The green laser beams on highways have a long projection distance and are particularly noticeable at night. The laser lights come in two modes: continuous illumination and strobe, with a range of up to 2 kilometers. These lasers are typically installed only on relatively straight sections of the road. The green laser lights create a crisscrossing network of beams in the air above the oncoming traffic direction, without obstructing the driver's view. Together with flashing lights and high-decibel alarms, they form a tripartite warning system combining visual, auditory, and light effects, stimulating the driver's senses and enhancing road safety awareness. Their effectiveness is especially pronounced during nighttime, rain, snow, fog, and other adverse weather conditions.

What does the key symbol on the Mercedes dashboard mean?

When the car's anti-theft system is triggered, a key symbol will appear on the dashboard. Modern car keys are no longer just mechanical keys; they are a key system integrating circuits, networks, and mechanical components. When the signal from the key does not match the car's password, the car system will recognize it as an illegal entry, and the anti-theft system will automatically lock the engine, preventing the vehicle from starting. Relevant information about the car dashboard is as follows: 1. Introduction: The instrument panel, or instrument-panel, is a rigid flat plate or structural component used to install instruments and related devices. It can be classified by type into screen-type, frame-type, passage-type, and cabinet-type instrument panels. 2. Function: The instrument panel can be equipped with external lighting and may also include a control console. It comes in various forms and specifications, allowing for the installation of different instruments as needed, or the combination of various instrument panels into a single unit.

What Causes Water Leakage in the Lavida's Cabin?

Water accumulation inside the vehicle is primarily caused by poor sealing. It is necessary to inspect the sealing strips and water plugs. If the issue lies with the door panel sealing strips, they should be replaced with new ones. In case of drainage problems, the drainage holes need to be cleaned. Additional Information: Effects and Consequences of Vehicle Water Accumulation: 1. Engine Damage: Water entering the engine is a severe issue. Water can pass through the air filter, enter the intake valve, and then proceed into the cylinder block via the intake pipe. Under no circumstances should the engine be started in this condition, as it may lead to deformation of critical components such as the crankshaft and connecting rods, resulting in engine vibration or even component breakage in severe cases. 2. Brake Failure: Water accumulation can cause the vehicle to lose braking capability, posing significant hazards or accidents, particularly for vehicles equipped with drum brakes.

What Are the Reasons for Mercedes-Benz One-Key Start Failure?

Reasons for the failure of the one-key start function in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class: 1. Fuel filter blockage; 2. Fuel pump filter screen blockage; 3. Severe carbon buildup or erosion of the spark plugs; 4. Starter motor malfunction; 5. Delayed fuel supply from the fuel pump during cold starts; 6. Insufficient fresh air or inadequate fuel supply. Relevant information about the one-key start function is as follows: 1. Introduction: The one-key start device is part of a smart car, serving as a button mechanism to simplify the starting process and also to shut off the engine. This device can be retrofitted in place of the original car key lock or as an independent panel. 2. Function: Unlike traditional mechanical key ignition and conventional starting procedures, simply pressing the one-key start button enables engine start and shutdown, eliminating the hassle of losing or searching for keys. Most operations require pressing the foot brake during the ignition process.

Where is the Mercedes key sensing area?

The Mercedes key sensing area is located on the car's center console. The sensing receiver of Mercedes cars is very sensitive. When the car key is in your pocket and within two meters of the car, the door can be easily opened without any operation. The signal receiver is located under the center console. When the remote key has sufficient battery, it works within a range of several meters. Relevant information about the car key's 'hold' button is as follows: 1. Introduction: Press and hold the 'hold' button for a few seconds to open the trunk, avoiding the danger of opening the trunk while the vehicle is in motion, hence the name 'hold'. 2.
