The driver-side airbag is installed on the outer side of the seat, designed to mitigate injuries caused by side impacts. The principle of the airbag is as follows: the sensor system continuously sends speed change information to the control unit, which analyzes and evaluates this data. The vehicle's airbag consists of an inflation sensor and an inflation system. Important precautions for using airbags include: 1. Airbags must be used in conjunction with seat belts; 2. Maintain an appropriate distance from the airbag while seated; 3. Do not place objects in front of, above, or near the airbag; 4. Maintain good driving habits to ensure a safe distance between your chest and the steering wheel.

To be honest, after driving for so many years, I've seen quite a few vehicle safety details. The driver-side airbag is located right in the center of the steering wheel. Specifically, it's hidden under the panel between the steering wheel spokes or near the logo, usually completely invisible. In the event of a severe frontal collision, it inflates and deploys instantly to protect your head and chest from hard impacts, with incredibly precise design. I once experienced a minor rear-end collision where the airbag didn't deploy, but confirming its location gave me a great sense of security. The key is to avoid covering it with anything on the steering wheel, like phone mounts or decorations, as the rebound force during deployment can cause injuries. During regular vehicle maintenance, I always have the technician check the airbag sensors and wiring connections to ensure the system is reliable—that's what matters most. Different vehicle models have varying airbag coverage areas; smaller cars may have slightly smaller ones, while SUVs have larger ones, but the core position remains the same. The airbag is an invisible guardian, with a fixed and scientifically designed location that's easy to remember.

What is the fuel consumption of the 2021 Volkswagen Lavida 1.4T Comfort Edition?

The average fuel consumption of the Lavida is 7.0 liters per 100 kilometers, while the official test by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows 7.6 liters per 100 kilometers. Fuel consumption under different road conditions: Urban low-speed driving combined fuel consumption is 9 liters, with air conditioning on it increases to 10 liters. Long-distance highway driving combined fuel consumption is 7 liters. The onboard computer display may show slightly lower than the actual fuel consumption. Introduction to fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the amount of fuel a vehicle consumes when driving a certain speed for 100 kilometers on the road. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle, measured by manufacturers under controlled conditions using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle chassis. The values are converted into speed parameters, and then the vehicle is driven at specified speeds to calculate the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data per 100 kilometers for the model.

What does a car's suspension mean?

Suspension system refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the car's frame and the axle or wheels. Its function is to transmit forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, while cushioning the impact from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body, and dampening the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. Here are the specific classifications of suspension: 1. Non-independent suspension: The structural feature of non-independent suspension systems is that both wheels are connected by an integrated axle, and the wheels along with the axle are suspended under the frame or body through an elastic suspension system. Non-independent suspension systems have the advantages of simple structure, low cost, high strength, easy maintenance, and minimal changes in front-wheel alignment during driving, but their comfort and handling stability are relatively poor. 2. Independent suspension: In an independent suspension system, each wheel is individually suspended under the frame or body through an elastic suspension system. Its advantages include: light weight, reduced impact on the body, and improved wheel ground adhesion; the use of softer springs with lower stiffness to enhance comfort; the ability to lower the engine position and thus the car's center of gravity, improving driving stability; and each wheel moving independently, reducing body tilt and vibration. However, independent suspension systems have the disadvantages of complex structure, high cost, and inconvenient maintenance.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Vios FS?

The Vios FS model generally has relatively low fuel consumption. The 1.3L Vios FS typically consumes around 6 liters per 100 kilometers under comprehensive road conditions. Below is additional information: 1. The fuel tank capacity of the Toyota Vios FS is 42 liters. The fuel tank is a container in the car that stores fuel, specifically designed to hold hydraulic oil or fluid in the hydraulic system. Fuel tanks can be divided into two types: open and closed. The tank must have sufficient volume; the suction pipe and return pipe should be inserted below the minimum liquid level to prevent air suction and splashing of returning oil, which can create bubbles. The distance between the suction pipe and return pipe should be as far apart as possible, with a partition installed between them. 2. To maintain clean oil, the fuel tank should have a sealed cover with an air filter installed on it. The bottom of the tank should be at least 150mm above the ground. Adequate attention should be paid to the anti-corrosion treatment of the inner surface of the tank. In addition to storing oil, the fuel tank in the hydraulic system also serves to dissipate heat, separate bubbles from the oil, and precipitate impurities. Many accessories are installed in the fuel tank, such as coolers, heaters, air filters, and liquid level gauges.

How to Install and Use an ETC Card?

ETC device installation process is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and the electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly illuminate. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning normally. Clean the front windshield to ensure the glass surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then, peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front side facing the driver and the back side facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. ETC activation method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth On." If "Tag Invalid" appears when inserting and removing the card twice without attaching the electronic tag, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, press the button on the top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth directly. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, open the corresponding mobile app (usually a download QR code is provided on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. Click "Device Connection" and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. Once connected, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation.
