There is an engine hood release switch located below the left side of the main driver's position. The functions of the hood: Airflow guidance - For objects moving at high speeds through air, the aerodynamic drag and turbulence generated around the moving object directly affect its trajectory and speed. The hood's shape can effectively adjust the direction of airflow relative to the vehicle's movement and mitigate the obstructive forces, reducing the impact of airflow on the car. Hood design principles: Through airflow guidance, aerodynamic drag can be decomposed into beneficial forces that increase the downward force of the front tires on the road surface, enhancing driving stability. The streamlined appearance of the hood is fundamentally designed based on this principle.

As a frequent driver of the Volvo S90, the hood release is located near the driver's left foot. Just crouch down and you'll feel a lever, usually marked with a small engine icon. Give it a gentle pull until you hear a click, then go to the front of the car and lift the hood. Be careful not to pinch your fingers with the support rod. This design is quite thoughtful—unlike some cars that hide the release under the dashboard, making it hard to find, the S90's is a simple pull. Why place it here? To prevent accidental activation while driving and to allow easy access for checking oil or coolant in emergencies. A quick reminder: always ensure the engine is cool before opening the hood. Opening it while hot risks burns. Safety first! And don’t skip routine maintenance like oil changes—it keeps your car running smoothly.

Speaker quality issues: Negotiate with the supplier, as this involves the design and installation of the audio system, so it's best left to professionals. 3. Grounding problems: If the buzzing sound increases with the throttle, it's likely due to grounding issues. Perform proper grounding for the amplifier, which integrates many circuits. Incorrect wiring can pose safety hazards. 4. Install an audio filter: Adding an audio filter can completely solve current-induced noise issues, although it may slightly affect the audio quality.

What is the purpose of the Lane Departure Warning System?

The purpose of the Lane Departure Warning System is: When the lane departure system is activated, the camera continuously captures the lane markings, and through image processing, obtains the vehicle's position parameters within the current lane. When the system detects that the vehicle is deviating from the lane, the sensors promptly collect vehicle data and the driver's operational status. The controller then issues an alarm signal, with the entire process completed in approximately 0.5 seconds, providing the driver with more reaction time. If the driver activates the turn signal for normal lane changing, the Lane Departure Warning System will not issue any alerts. The Lane Departure Warning System consists of components such as an image processing chip, controller, and sensors.
