There are a total of 5 locations for airbags: the driver's airbag is installed in the steering wheel; the front passenger airbag is installed in the right-side panel of the dashboard; the side airbags are installed on the outer side of the seats; the head airbags are installed in the A-pillar, B-pillar, or roof rail; the knee airbag is installed below the dashboard; and the rear airbags are hidden inside the rear passengers' seat belts. Airbags are an auxiliary configuration for the vehicle's passive safety, consisting of airbag sensors, collision airbags, and electronic control devices. The purpose of airbags is to provide a soft cushion and restraint during a collision, reducing injuries between passengers and vehicle occupants.

After driving for so long, I've learned that knowing the location of airbags is crucial. Nowadays, many cars are equipped with multiple airbags, not just in one place. The driver's airbag is located behind the central panel of the steering wheel and deploys upon impact to protect the head and chest. For the front passenger, the airbag is hidden beneath the top of the dashboard, directly facing the passenger. Side airbags are commonly found on the outer side of the seat back or inside the door panel, specifically designed for side impacts. Curtain airbags are concealed in the roof lining on both sides, deploying during a rollover to cover the windows and prevent head injuries from broken glass. Knee airbags are positioned below the steering column or behind the glove compartment to protect the legs from injury. Each location is meticulously designed, with sensors and computer control to inflate and deflate instantly during high-speed collisions. However, it's important to remember that airbags are only supplementary safety devices and must be used in conjunction with properly fastened seat belts to be effective. Regular maintenance should include checking the airbag system for normal operation, and any abnormal indicator lights should not be ignored.

Under what circumstances is it prohibited to make a U-turn while driving a motor vehicle?

When driving a motor vehicle, U-turns are prohibited in the following situations: at locations with no U-turn signs or markings; at locations with no left-turn signs or markings; at railway crossings; on pedestrian crosswalks, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, inside tunnels, or on road sections where hazards are likely to occur. U-turns are allowed under the following circumstances: When there is a U-turn traffic light or sign: At intersections with U-turn traffic lights, a U-turn can be made when the U-turn light is green. At intersections with U-turn signs or lanes marked with U-turn indicators, a U-turn can be made while ensuring the safety of oneself and others. When there is no U-turn sign but left turns are allowed (and no no-U-turn signs or markings are present): Vehicles can make a U-turn at intersections where left turns are permitted and no no-U-turn signs or markings are present. It is important to note that the vehicle must proceed according to the left-turn lane traffic signal without affecting the normal movement of other vehicles. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting area, the vehicle can first enter the waiting area when the straight-through light is green and wait until the left-turn light turns green before making the U-turn. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: Whether it is a white or yellow dashed line, U-turns are permitted. For double yellow lines with one solid and one dashed, check if the side you are on is dashed. If it is dashed, a U-turn can be made safely; if it is solid, a U-turn is not allowed.

When will the new 2021 Accord be launched?

The 2021 model was officially launched in September 2020. Below is a related introduction to the new Accord: 1. Exterior and Interior: The body features sharp lines with strong muscular contours. Both the front and rear lights adopt triangular designs, giving a fierce appearance. The Accord's interior is simple and elegant, making it well-suited for business use. The dashboard employs a two-tone design with a dark upper section and light lower section, aligning with current popular styles. Wood-grain trim extends from below the center console to the front center storage box, with matching materials used on door panels. 2. New Engine: Equipped with i-VTEC intelligent variable valve timing and lift electronic control system. Compared to previous engines, it can control intake valve operation via ECU to maintain optimal engine performance. Crucially, it delivers over 80% torque consistently between 2500-5500 rpm, representing a key improvement that enables responsive acceleration in this range. 3. New Transmission: The front automatic transmission matches perfectly with the engine. Gear shifts occur smoothly at approximately 4000 rpm for 1st to 2nd gear and 5500 rpm for 2nd to 3rd gear, reaching nearly 120 km/h without noticeable shift shock. The computer control system automatically cuts fuel at 5000 rpm when in neutral. 4. Handling: Features front double-wishbone and rear 5-link double-wishbone independent suspension. Compared to traditional MacPherson struts, this system offers more precise wheel tracking and better cornering stability, though with slightly reduced suspension travel and compromised damping performance on rough roads.

Is it still necessary to affix the compulsory traffic insurance label on the windshield?

If electronic insurance policies have been implemented locally, there is no need to affix the compulsory traffic insurance label on the vehicle. However, if electronic policies have not yet been implemented, the compulsory traffic insurance label must still be displayed. According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: If a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display the inspection qualification label or insurance label, or if the driver does not carry the vehicle registration certificate or driver's license, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the vehicle, notify the party to provide the corresponding license, label, or complete the necessary procedures, and may impose penalties in accordance with Article 90 of this law (a warning or a fine of not less than 20 yuan but not more than 200 yuan). As of 2022, provinces and cities that have abolished the paper label for compulsory traffic insurance include: Beijing, Shanghai, Shandong, Shanxi, Guangdong, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Guangxi, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Hebei, Sichuan, and Gansu. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Vehicles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies depending on the vehicle type, with the main influencing factor being the number of seats. Compared to the more than 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party liability insurance, compulsory traffic insurance covers a much broader range, including losses caused by intentional acts of the victim, the insured's own property losses, related arbitration and litigation costs, and certain indirect losses caused by accidents. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in the accident, compulsory traffic insurance will provide compensation within the liability limits, with no deductible or exemption clauses. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies: An electronic insurance policy refers to an electronic policy issued by an insurance company using digital signature software and enterprise digital certificates that comply with the PKI system, bearing the electronic signature of the insurance company. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the official written proof of the insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. The policy must fully record the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties to the insurance contract. The content recorded in the policy serves as the basis for the performance of the contract by both parties. The insurance policy is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of Electronic Insurance Policies: Saves paper resources, eliminating the need to print insurance proof labels; Time-saving and convenient, unrestricted by time or location, with information readily available online anytime, fast and easy; Allows for reissuance and resending, eliminating worries about loss. If a paper version is needed offline, it can be printed or mailed; Easier management, as electronic unification makes it more convenient for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage the insurance information of various vehicles.
