When a motor vehicle fuel fire occurs, water should not be used for extinguishing. Here are the relevant details: 1. Reasons for not using water: Water cannot be used to put out fuel fires because water has a higher density than oil. When oil and water are mixed, the oil will float on top of the water. Not only does this fail to extinguish the fuel fire immediately, but it may also spread the fuel and expand the fire area. 2. Correct actions during a fire: If a fire is discovered, quickly call the fire department at 119. When reporting the fire, provide clear details including the exact address, location of the fire, type of burning material, size of the fire, your name and phone number, and send someone to meet the fire truck at the intersection.

What does PCS mean on the car dashboard?

PCS on the car dashboard stands for Pre-Collision System, also known as Pre-Safe Protection System. It can automatically detect obstacles ahead and calculate the possibility of a collision. If the system determines a high probability of collision, it will sound an alarm to alert the driver. The working principle of the Pre-Collision System is as follows: 1. After starting the vehicle, PCS automatically activates, and the radar continuously detects obstacles ahead. When the system detects an obstacle within a safe distance and determines a possible collision, it will sound an audible alarm and tighten the front seat belts; 2. If the driver still does not respond after the warning, and the system determines that the collision is unavoidable, it will apply appropriate braking to minimize the impact of the collision.
