The engine can be damaged if the car drives through water. Here is some information about the engine: 1. Introduction: An engine (Engine) is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy. The first external combustion engine was invented by R. Stirling in the UK (Scotland) in 1816 and later improved by Watt into a steam engine. 2. Applicability: Engines are suitable for power generation devices and can also refer to entire machines including power units (e.g., gasoline engines, aircraft engines). 3. Types: Types include internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines), gas turbines (used in racing cars), electric motors, etc.

What does SRS mean in cars?

The SRS system refers to the airbag, directly translated into Chinese as: Supplemental Inflatable Restraint System, emphasizing the word 'supplemental'. It must be used in conjunction with seat belts to truly serve as a safety aid. The airbag system is a passive safety protection system. The working principle of the airbag: When a collision occurs while the car is in motion, the airbag sensor first receives the impact signal. If the impact reaches the specified intensity, the sensor activates and sends a signal to the electronic controller. Upon receiving the signal, the electronic controller compares it with its stored data. If the conditions for airbag deployment are met, the drive circuit sends an activation signal to the gas generator in the airbag module. The gas generator, upon receiving the signal, ignites the gas-generating agent, producing a large amount of gas. This gas is filtered and cooled before entering the airbag, causing the airbag to rapidly inflate through the padding in an extremely short time. It forms an elastic cushion in front of the driver or passenger, then promptly deflates and contracts, absorbing the impact energy. This effectively protects the head and chest, preventing or reducing the severity of injuries. Precautions for airbags: It's essential to confirm whether the car can be retrofitted with additional airbags. Safety equipment should not be arbitrarily modified, as the stability and reliability of aftermarket airbags are certainly inferior to original equipment. The installation cost is also not cost-effective. Only the combined use of seats, headrests, seat belts, and airbags can most effectively protect passenger safety. Correct usage is the guarantee of safety.

What to Do When Your Vehicle Is Blocked and the Other Owner Didn't Leave a Contact Number?

Here are the solutions when your vehicle is blocked and the other owner didn't leave a contact number: 1. Call 122: Inform the operator that your car is blocked and you need the other owner to move their vehicle. Provide the operator with detailed location and vehicle information, such as the license plate number, color, and model. 122 will then call the other owner to request them to move their car. 2. Call 114: After providing the license plate number and location of the vehicle that needs to be moved to the operator, 114 will transfer the call to the owner. However, this method has a prerequisite: the other owner must have previously registered their phone number and license plate number with China Unicom. If there is no such registration, 114 won't be able to transfer the call for moving the vehicle.

What Functions Does a Car Remote Key Have?

Here is a detailed introduction to the functions of a car remote key: 1. Close windows after turning off the engine: Press and hold the lock button on the remote key to close the windows. This feature may also be available on ordinary family cars. 2. Locate the car in a parking lot: Some car keys have a dedicated car-finding button, while others require pressing the lock button twice in succession to make the car emit a beep, indicating its location, which helps quickly find the car in crowded parking areas. 3. Automatically open the trunk: Many car models have a trunk-opening button on the remote key. Press and hold the trunk unlock button to automatically open the trunk. 4. Keyless entry: You need to carry the car key, which will automatically match the car's decoder when it is near the car. Press the unlock button on the car door handle to unlock the car.

What is the Fuel Consumption Limit for Passenger Cars?

The "Fuel Consumption Limit for Passenger Cars" is a national standard of the People's Republic of China implemented on January 1, 2016, under the jurisdiction of the National Automotive Standardization Technical Committee. The "Fuel Consumption Limit for Passenger Cars" specifies the fuel consumption limits for passenger cars. Here is additional information: 1. The "Fuel Consumption Limit for Passenger Cars" applies to M1 category vehicles that can use gasoline or diesel fuel with a maximum design total mass not exceeding 3500kg; it does not apply to vehicles that only use gas or alcohol-ether fuels. 2. The revision of the "Fuel Consumption Limit for Passenger Cars" is conducive to further tightening the fuel consumption limits for passenger cars, raising the minimum market entry requirements for passenger car products, and ensuring the achievement of the 5L/100km energy-saving target by 2020.

What are the consequences of not replacing car spark plugs for a long time?

Car spark plugs not being replaced for a long time can lead to the following consequences: 1. Difficulty in ignition, prone to stalling, insufficient power, weak acceleration, increased carbon deposits formation, manifested as lack of vehicle power, slow acceleration when stepping on the gas, and a missing gear in power; 2. Misfire causing cylinder non-operation or cylinder misfire, manifested as engine shaking, engine fault light turning on, and upon careful listening, the exhaust pipe sound is discontinuous with a popping noise; 3. Incomplete combustion leading to unqualified exhaust emissions, causing environmental pollution. Types of spark plugs include: 1. Standard spark plugs; 2. Projected insulator spark plugs; 3. Electrode spark plugs; 4. Seat spark plugs; 5. Pole spark plugs; 6. Surface gap spark plugs.

What Causes High Water Temperature in Small Cars?

The reasons for high water temperature in small cars are: 1. Coolant leakage or insufficient coolant; 2. Faulty cooling fan; 3. Malfunctioning circulation water pump; 4. Thermostat failure; 5. Poor radiator heat dissipation. Effects of high water temperature: 1. Accelerated wear and poor lubrication; 2. Engine damage due to issues like piston ring scuffing; 3. High water temperature can cause radiator rupture; 4. May lead to deformation and damage of cylinder heads and cylinder blocks. Solutions for high water temperature: 1. When the vehicle experiences radiator boiling, promptly pull over to a safe area, keep the engine idling for 3 to 5 minutes, then turn off the engine and open the hood for cooling after the situation eases; 2. After the engine cools, open the radiator cap, replenish the coolant, and have the vehicle inspected to resolve the issue.
