The role of airbags is to reduce the degree of injury to occupants in the event of a collision, prevent secondary collisions, or protect occupants from being thrown out of their seats in dangerous situations such as vehicle rollovers. In the event of a collision, the inflation system can rapidly inflate the airbag within a short time. The airbag will deploy from the steering wheel or dashboard, shielding the occupants from the impact forces generated by the collision. The airbag will deflate approximately one second later, ensuring it does not hinder the movement of the occupants. Airbags are installed in three directions within the vehicle: front (driver and passenger seats), side (front and rear seats), and roof. An airbag system consists of three components: the airbag, sensors, and the inflation system.

How Often Should the Antifreeze in a Family Car Be Replaced?

The antifreeze in a family car should be replaced every two years. This is just a reference interval. For commercial vehicles with higher mileage, the replacement interval should be shorter. Since driving conditions vary for each vehicle, the replacement should be based on actual usage. Check the antifreeze level regularly and top it up if it is insufficient. If suspended particles, sediment, or discoloration are observed in the antifreeze, replace it immediately and clean the system. Steps to replace the antifreeze: Before a complete replacement, conduct a thorough inspection to check for leaks or cracks in the pipes, especially the five-way hose. The five-way hose, named for its five connecting interfaces, distributes antifreeze to different parts of the car. If leaks are detected in this section, replace the hose or reseal the connections as needed. Drain the old antifreeze and flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add water to the antifreeze reservoir and let it flow continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water draining from the reservoir may appear slightly pink. Continue flushing until clean water flows out. Remember to disconnect the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. After about an hour of draining, add new antifreeze through the radiator hose to allow quick flow into the radiator. Then, fill the antifreeze reservoir with another bottle of antifreeze until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As the cooling system expels air, the fluid level will drop. Top up the antifreeze to the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.

What to do if someone scratches your car and flees?

If someone scratches your car and leaves the scene, and the incident is recorded by surveillance or witnessed by others, the victim can report the case. If the traffic police identify the perpetrator, it will be considered a hit-and-run, but generally, the driver's license will not be revoked. A traffic hit-and-run refers to the act of a party involved in a road traffic accident driving away or abandoning their vehicle at the scene to evade legal consequences. For minor scratch-and-flee incidents, the nature of the offense must be determined after investigation by the traffic police department. More details are as follows: 1. Fleeing after a traffic accident refers to the act of the perpetrator running away to evade legal consequences after the accident occurs. 2. Fleeing after causing a traffic accident that does not constitute a crime may result in a fine of 200-2000 yuan, 12 penalty points, and detention for up to 15 days. 3. Fleeing after causing a traffic accident that constitutes a crime will lead to criminal liability and a lifetime revocation of the driver's license. 4. The criteria for a traffic accident to constitute a crime: the party bears primary or greater responsibility for the accident, causing serious injury to one or more persons or being unable to compensate for damages exceeding 300,000 yuan; or causing the death of three or more persons with equal responsibility. Minor scratches typically do not meet these conditions.

Is it better for girls to learn automatic or manual transmission when learning to drive?

It is recommended for girls to learn automatic transmission. The advantages of learning automatic transmission are as follows: 1. Much easier on the feet. Manual transmission cars have a clutch, brake, and accelerator, often requiring coordinated actions between the accelerator and clutch. Automatic transmission cars eliminate the clutch, leaving the left foot mostly idle, and the right foot only needs to distinguish between the accelerator and brake. 2. Starting and stopping are much easier. New drivers of manual transmission cars often fear traffic lights, as a slight mistake during start or stop can cause the engine to stall. Automatic transmission eliminates this hassle, making it easier to operate. 3. No need to worry about uphill roads. For manual transmission, if encountering an uphill overtaking situation, new drivers might not only fail to climb but also repeatedly roll back. 4. Much easier on the hands. With manual transmission cars, drivers must shift gears according to road conditions to adjust speed, requiring proper training for new drivers to handle correctly. With automatic transmission, one only needs to understand the functions of a few gear positions, and the speed is entirely determined by the depth of the accelerator pedal when moving forward.

What does ACC mean on a car?

ACC in a car refers to Adaptive Cruise Control. Here are the specific details about Adaptive Cruise Control: 1. The Adaptive Cruise Control system is an intelligent automatic control system developed on the basis of the existing cruise control technology. The adaptive cruise system uses low-power radar or infrared beams to obtain the exact position of the vehicle ahead. If it detects that the vehicle ahead is slowing down or a new target is detected, the system sends an execution signal to the engine or braking system to reduce the vehicle speed, maintaining a safe driving distance between the vehicle and the one ahead. 2. When controlling vehicle braking, the Adaptive Cruise Control system typically limits the braking deceleration to a level that does not affect comfort. When greater deceleration is required, the ACC control unit will issue audible and visual signals to notify the driver to take active braking measures. 3. When the distance to the vehicle ahead increases to a safe distance, the ACC control unit controls the vehicle to travel at the set speed.
