Now, air bag, ABS (anti lock braking) and other safety equipment have become the standard equipment of most cars. And these indispensable safety equipment also become an important reference factor for consumers to buy cars. But do you know that these safety equipment are also delicate and need careful maintenance.

气囊有“保质期”使用中要注意

Airbags have a "shelf life", which should be paid attention to in use

汽车有了气囊当然系数提高了，但您知道气囊也有保质期吗？气囊的保养不像车身外观保养那样直观，很容易被忽视，忽视了对气囊的保养，气囊就有可能成为“隐形杀手”。为此，记者请教了人士，教教大家咋保养气囊。

With airbags, of course, the safety factor has been improved, but did you know that airbags also have a shelf life? The maintenance of the airbag is not as intuitive as the appearance maintenance of the car body, so it is easy to be ignored. If the maintenance of the airbag is ignored, the airbag may become an "invisible killer". To this end, the reporter asked professionals to teach you how to maintain the airbag.

介绍：气囊必须配合带使用才能保证车主的驾驶。车主不要在前排乘客气囊处摆放香水瓶、粘贴饰品，一旦气囊打开，这些物品会被气囊弹出伤害驾乘人员。平时应尽量避免高温和静电，不要让气囊和传感器处于高温和静电环境下，以免引发气囊错误打开；还要避免意外磕碰、震动气囊传感器，以免造成气囊突然展开；不要擅自改变气囊系统及其周边布置，不能擅自改动气囊系统线路，不要擅自更改前保险杠和车辆前部结构；如果车辆安装有侧气囊且侧气囊安装在座椅上，就不要给座椅安装坐套。

Experts: airbags must be used with seat belts to ensure the driving safety of car owners. Car owners should not place perfume bottles and accessories on the front passenger airbags. Once the airbags are opened, these articles will be injured by airbags. At ordinary times, try to avoid high temperature and static electricity, do not let the airbag and sensor in the high temperature and static environment, so as to avoid causing the airbag to open incorrectly; It is also necessary to avoid accidental bumping and vibration of airbag sensor, so as to avoid sudden deployment of airbag; Do not change the airbag system and its surrounding layout, do not change the airbag system circuit, do not change the front bumper and the front structure of the vehicle; If the vehicle is equipped with side airbags and the side airbags are installed on the seats, do not install seat covers on the seats.

表示：车辆在正常使用周期内气囊基本不会发生故障，可每行驶一两万后到4S店检查气囊及其附属部件，但在使用十年之后气囊的质量就难以保证了，必须进行彻底检测，有条件的话应及时更换。指出：气囊指示在车辆启动6秒～8秒后依然闪烁或长亮不熄，就表示气囊出现故障；车辆在运行过程中，气囊指示灯闪烁5秒后长亮，也表示气囊出现故障，这必须及时到4S店检查、处理，别让气囊成为“杀手”。

Experts said: in the normal life cycle of the vehicle, the airbag will not break down. You can go to the 4S store to check the airbag and its accessories after driving every 10000 to 20000 km. However, after ten years of use, the quality of the airbag is difficult to guarantee. It must be thoroughly tested and replaced in time if possible. Experts pointed out: if the airbag indicator still flickers or remains on for a long time after the vehicle starts for 6 to 8 seconds, it means that the airbag is faulty; During the operation of the vehicle, the airbag indicator light flashes for 5 seconds and then goes on for a long time, which also indicates that the airbag is faulty. This must be checked and handled at the 4S store in time, so that the airbag will not become a "killer".

ABS故障灯亮原因挺多别惊慌

There are many reasons why ABS fault light is on. Don't panic

ABS刹车防抱死系统是现在轿车上比较普遍的主动装备，当驾驶者紧急制动时快速踩下制动踏板后，前轮不会抱死，转向能力依旧存在，那就完全可以在制动时采取转向措施避开前方的危险，保证汽车的方向稳定性。ABS更重要的功能并不是为了缩短制动距离，而是为了能够尽量保持制动时汽车的方向稳定性。而始终踩住刹车踏板不放松的正确制动动作是让ABS起作用的关键。

ABS brake anti lock system is a common active safety equipment on cars. When the driver quickly steps on the brake pedal during emergency braking, the front wheels will not lock up and the steering ability still exists, so it can take steering measures to avoid the danger ahead and ensure the directional stability of the car. The most important function of ABS is not to shorten the braking distance, but to maintain the directional stability of the car when braking. The correct braking action is the key to make ABS work.

提醒司机朋友：ABS故障警告灯突然亮起时不要惊慌，车子的制动系统仍可以工作，将车平稳开到维修站即可；如果ABS和手刹灯同时点亮，则预示车辆的制动系统可能出现严重故障，此时切不可继续行驶，应立即将车减速停靠路边，及时与维修站联系救援。

Experts remind drivers: don't panic when the ABS fault warning light suddenly lights up. The car's braking system can still work. Drive the car to the maintenance station smoothly; If the ABS and handbrake lights are on at the same time, it indicates that the vehicle's braking system may have a serious failure. At this time, you must not continue to drive. You should immediately slow down and stop at the side of the road, and contact the maintenance station for rescue in time.

特别提示：有ABS的车辆每个轮子上都有ABS传感器，冬季ABS传感器很容易被冰雪“覆盖”，从而导致ABS失灵，所以冬季及时清洁轮胎很重要。

Special tips: ABS sensors are installed on every wheel of vehicles with ABS. In winter, ABS sensors are easily "covered" by ice and snow, resulting in ABS failure. Therefore, it is very important to clean the tires in time in winter.
