Onboard fire extinguishers should be placed near the driver's seat in a location that is easily accessible, such as under the driver's or passenger's seat. Below are relevant details: 1. Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher: The principle of this extinguisher is chemical suppression, which interrupts the chain reaction of combustion. It offers high firefighting capability, comprehensive functionality, rapid extinguishing, electrical insulation properties, and good low-temperature performance, making it particularly suitable for use in factories, warehouses, and outdoor settings. 2. Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher: The mechanism of this extinguisher is suffocation, achieved by reducing the oxygen concentration around the burning material. Carbon dioxide as an extinguishing agent has excellent insulation properties. However, its drawbacks include a high extinguishing concentration, resulting in lower firefighting capability, making it more suitable for relatively enclosed spaces. It has poor resistance to re-ignition, and carbon dioxide is a moderately toxic substance. When the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air reaches 2%, it can cause discomfort.

Where is the cabin air filter located in the Peugeot 408?

The cabin air filter of the Peugeot 408 is located behind the panel on the left side of the front passenger footwell. The cabin air filter is a component that requires regular replacement. If not replaced for an extended period, it can affect the air conditioning performance and the health of vehicle occupants. Relevant maintenance information for the cabin air filter is as follows: 1. If the car doors or windows are not properly closed while using the air conditioning, it will result in poor cooling performance and waste fuel. 2. The direction of the air conditioning vents should not be adjusted randomly. When using the air conditioning, pay attention to adjusting the direction of the airflow to achieve optimal performance. Based on the principle that cold air sinks and warm air rises, the correct approach is to point the vents upward when using the cooling function and downward when using the heating function.

How to Fold Down the Rear Seats in Hyundai Verna?

Hyundai Verna's rear seats do not support folding down, which limits its cargo capacity as long items cannot be transported in the trunk. Whether the rear seats can be folded is determined by the manufacturer based on market demand. If the manufacturer believes that users of a particular model have low demand for cargo space expansion, they will not configure the rear seats to fold. Below is relevant information about folding rear seats: 1. Split-folding rear seats refer to the backrests being able to be folded down in proportions. Compared to folding the entire rear seat, split-folding offers higher flexibility, allowing only half of the backrest to be folded down for large items while the other half remains usable for seating. 2. Full-folding rear seats mean the backrest is a single unit. When larger space is needed for bulky items, the entire backrest can be folded down to provide more room. The downside of full-folding rear seats is that when folded, the rear seats cannot accommodate passengers.

What are the reasons and solutions for a car air conditioner not starting?

Car air conditioner not starting is mainly a symptom of issues with the air conditioning system and compressor. The following are detailed reasons and solutions for a car air conditioner not starting: 1. Circuit system failure: Short circuit or open circuit in the circuit directly loses the path for power transmission, preventing the electromagnetic clutch from properly regulating the compressor's working state. Solution: Use a multimeter to test the circuit segment by segment, locate the fault point, and repair it. 2. Lack of refrigerant: Refrigerant and refrigeration oil are mutually soluble, circulating back to the compressor through the system. If the Freon in the refrigerant is depleted, it will affect the refrigeration oil, leading to insufficient oil return, reducing the compressor's lubrication effect and causing it to jam or damage. Solution: Refill the refrigerant. 3. Compressor mechanical wear: Long-term operation under high-speed rotation load may cause premature mechanical wear of compressor components, rendering them inoperable. Solution: Inspect the compressor and replace worn parts. 4. The air conditioner has not been cleaned or maintained for a long time. Solution: Clean the air conditioner promptly.
