When a motor vehicle fuel fire occurs, water should not be used for extinguishing. Below are relevant details about fuel fires: 1. Reason: Water cannot be used to extinguish a motor vehicle fuel fire because fuel is lighter than water. When water comes into contact with fuel, instead of covering the fuel, it carries the fuel and spreads it around, thereby expanding the fire. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are also not suitable for extinguishing the fire because it is not an enclosed space. 2. Precautions: When a car engine catches fire, the driver should quickly stop the vehicle, allow passengers to open the doors and exit, then cut off the power supply, take out the onboard fire extinguisher, and aim directly at the base of the flames to spray vigorously and extinguish the fire.

What is the method for replacing the air filter in the Sylphy?

Sylphy air filter replacement method is as follows: 1. Remove the old filter: Open the black buckle of the air filter compartment, take out the old air filter and compare it with the new one to check the specifications, dimensions, and thickness. 2. Install the new filter: Observe the direction of the air inlet and outlet on the side of the new air filter, which is usually marked with an arrow indicating the airflow direction. Then install the new air filter in the correct position. Additional information: The replacement cycle varies depending on the environment: For the same air filter, in a vehicle that frequently travels on highways, it may last for 30,000 kilometers or even longer before needing replacement. However, for an off-road vehicle that constantly drives in rural areas, it may need replacement within two months. Of course, these are extreme cases. For regular urban vehicles, replacing the air filter once a year or every 20,000 kilometers is more appropriate.

Does the third buckle of the Nissan NV200 airbag need to be drilled when removing it?

Nissan NV200 airbag removal of the third buckle requires drilling. Airbag composition: Mainly consists of safety airbag sensors, anti-collision airbags, and electronic control devices. The driver-side anti-collision airbag device is located in the steering wheel; the passenger-side anti-collision airbag device is generally installed on the instrument panel. Airbag principle: When a collision occurs while the car is in motion, the safety airbag sensor first receives the impact signal. Once the specified intensity is reached, the sensor activates and sends a signal to the electronic controller. Upon receiving the signal, the electronic controller compares it with its pre-stored signals. If the conditions for airbag deployment are met, the drive circuit sends a start signal to the gas generator in the airbag assembly. Upon receiving the signal, the gas generator ignites the gas-generating agent, producing a large amount of gas. After filtration and cooling, the gas enters the airbag, causing it to rapidly expand through the padding in an extremely short time.
