Attaching diamonds to the center of the steering wheel is dangerous because these materials are usually sharp. In the event of an accident, if the airbag deploys, the small 'diamond' particles can scatter towards the driver, potentially causing harm to the face, facial features, and especially the eyes. The Function of Airbags: Car airbags contain specific chemical substances. When a vehicle experiences a strong impact while driving, the collision sensor is triggered, causing these chemicals to react rapidly and produce a large amount of gas that fills the airbag, thereby protecting the driver's safety. Precautions for Using Airbags: It is not advisable to place objects above the airbag. This situation often occurs in the passenger seat, such as with perfumes or car decorations. If the airbag deploys, these car decorations can be ejected, causing secondary injuries.

I think sticking diamonds on the steering wheel is too dangerous. In case of an accident while driving, the airbag will suddenly deploy from the center of the steering wheel. Those shiny diamond decorations can scatter like tiny blades, instantly injuring your face or hands, or those of your passengers. I once saw a friend's car get into an accident where the airbag, which was supposed to save lives, turned into a weapon because of the diamonds, leaving her with many scars. Safe driving is no small matter; the steering wheel is a life-saving component and should remain smooth and intact. Don't sacrifice safety for fashion. During regular car maintenance, checking the airbag system is crucial—any modifications could trigger an accident. Sticking diamonds is like planting a time bomb for yourself. In short, safety first—keep the steering wheel simple.

How to Use the S Gear in Focus?

S gear is the sports mode of the car. In S gear sports mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed, allowing the engine to maintain high RPM for a longer time, enabling the car to travel at low gears and high RPM for an extended period, thereby achieving greater torque output and acceleration. More details about the S gear are as follows: 1. Since the S gear only delays upshifting without changing other operational aspects, it inevitably increases the transmission load and temperature in the short term, leading to accelerated wear. Therefore, try not to use the S gear for extended periods. 2. In terms of fuel consumption, because the fuel injection volume increases at high RPM, the fuel consumption in S gear mode is much higher than in normal mode. However, using the S gear also has benefits for the vehicle. Cars that frequently drive in congested urban areas tend to accumulate more carbon deposits in the engine. Therefore, using the S gear appropriately at regular intervals helps remove carbon deposits from the engine, improving fuel economy and extending engine life. 3. Generally, automatic transmission vehicles have the following gear positions: P, R, N, D, S: (1) P (Parking gear). When parking the car, the gear lever must be shifted into the P position. (2) R (Reverse gear). (3) N (Neutral gear). The N position is equivalent to neutral and can be used when starting the car, parking without leaving the vehicle, or during towing. (4) D (Drive gear). During normal driving, place the gear lever in the D position, and the car will automatically shift between forward gears. The D gear is the most commonly used gear. (5) S gear is the sports mode of the car ("S" stands for "Sport"). In S gear sports mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed, allowing the engine to maintain high RPM for a longer time, enabling the car to travel at low gears and high RPM for an extended period, thereby achieving greater torque output and acceleration. While the car is in motion, simply push the gear lever into the "S" position. This is typically used for climbing hills or rapid acceleration when overtaking.

Is it harmful to leave the car running with the AC on overnight?

Leaving the engine running with the AC on while parked can negatively affect your vehicle. Here are the relevant details: 1. Reasons: When the engine idles, its RPM is relatively low. Running the AC under these conditions leads to incomplete fuel combustion, which can cause carbon buildup in the engine cylinders and throttle body. Additionally, idling with the AC on increases fuel consumption. 2. Hazards: During engine idling, incomplete combustion produces exhaust containing high levels of carbon monoxide. This toxic gas may accumulate around the vehicle and enter the cabin through the AC system. With windows closed for AC operation, poor ventilation allows carbon monoxide concentration to gradually rise inside the vehicle, posing serious health risks to occupants over time.

What is the relationship between the clutch and the transmission?

The clutch is located between the engine and the transmission, and its function is to transmit the engine's power to the transmission. The following is an introduction to the clutch-related content: 1. Clutch: The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Function: The role of the clutch is to gradually engage the engine with the transmission to ensure smooth starting of the vehicle, temporarily disconnect the connection between the engine and the transmission to facilitate gear shifting and reduce the impact during shifting, and to act as a separator during emergency braking to prevent overload of the transmission and other drive systems, thereby providing a certain protective effect.

What is the difference between a turnout lane and an emergency parking strip?

Turnout lanes are used on single-lane roads to allow vehicles to yield to oncoming traffic, while emergency parking strips are provided on highways or first-class roads for vehicles to park temporarily in emergencies such as traffic accidents or mechanical failures while awaiting rescue. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Emergency parking strip: Refers to a temporary parking area on highways and first-class roads, designated for vehicles experiencing sudden malfunctions or other emergencies. On highways, it is distinguished from the main traffic lanes and is located on the far right near the roadbed, similar to the non-motorized lanes on regular roads. 2. Turnout lane: A designated area for emergency parking or vehicle repairs, marked within yellow lines. On single-lane roads, it is a widened section of the road within a visible distance, used for vehicles to pass each other. On Class IV roads with a 4.5m single-lane roadbed, turnout lanes are widened sections set at appropriate intervals to facilitate passing.
