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.

安全氣囊有“保質期”使用中要注意

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

汽車有了安全氣囊當然安全系數提高了，但您知道安全氣囊也有保質期嗎？安全氣囊的保養不像車身外觀保養那樣直觀，很容易被忽視，忽視了對安全氣囊的保養，安全氣囊就有可能成為“隱形殺手”。為此，記者請教了專業人士，教教大家咋保養安全氣囊。

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.

專家介紹：安全氣囊必須配合安全帶使用才能保證車主的駕駛安全。車主不要在前排乘客安全氣囊處擺放香水瓶、粘貼飾品，一旦安全氣囊打開，這些物品會被氣囊彈出傷害駕乘人員。平時應盡量避免高溫和靜電，不要讓氣囊和傳感器處于高溫和靜電環境下，以免引發安全氣囊錯誤打開；還要避免意外磕碰、震動氣囊傳感器，以免造成安全氣囊突然展開；不要擅自改變安全氣囊系統及其周邊布置，不能擅自改動安全氣囊系統線路，不要擅自更改前保險杠和車輛前部結構；如果車輛安裝有側安全氣囊且側氣囊安裝在座椅上，就不要給座椅安裝坐套。

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.

專家表示：車輛在正常使用周期內安全氣囊基本不會發生故障，可每行駛一至兩萬公里后到4S店檢查安全氣囊及其附屬部件，但在使用十年之后安全氣囊的質量就難以保證了，必須進行徹底檢測，有條件的話應及時更換。專家指出：安全氣囊指示在車輛啟動6秒～8秒后依然閃爍或長亮不熄，就表示安全氣囊出現故障；車輛在運行過程中，安全氣囊指示燈閃爍5秒后長亮，也表示安全氣囊出現故障，這必須及時到4S店檢查、處理，別讓安全氣囊成為“殺手”。

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故障燈亮原因挺多別驚慌

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

ABS剎車防抱死系統是現在轎車上比較普遍的主動安全裝備，當駕駛者緊急制動時快速踩下制動踏板后，前輪不會抱死，轉向能力依舊存在，那就完全可以在制動時采取轉向措施避開前方的危險，保證汽車的方向穩定性。ABS更重要的功能并不是為了縮短制動距離，而是為了能夠盡量保持制動時汽車的方向穩定性。而始終踩住剎車踏板不放松的正確制動動作是讓ABS起作用的關鍵。

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.

專家提醒司機朋友：ABS故障警告燈突然亮起時不要驚慌，車子的制動系統仍可以工作，將車平穩開到維修站即可；如果ABS和手剎燈同時點亮，則預示車輛的制動系統可能出現嚴重故障，此時切不可繼續行駛，應立即將車減速停靠路邊，及時與維修站聯系救援。

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.

特別提示：有ABS的車輛每個輪子上都有ABS傳感器，冬季ABS傳感器很容易被冰雪“覆蓋”，從而導致ABS失靈，所以冬季及時清潔輪胎很重要。

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.
