Senzani isikhwama somoya edolweni? Ngaba nengozi eholele ekulimaleni okukhulu emlenzeni wami wesokunxele ngenxa yesikhwama somoya edolweni. Ukubhuleka emlenzeni wesokudla nokuqhubeka nokulimaza, kodwa akuyona inkinga embi kakhulu.
Lapho bethulwa, umuzwa wama-airbags “wawuba mkhulu kakhulu.” Phela, ngemuva kwedeshibhodi yakho kunensimbi, futhi uma singakunikeza umcamelo phakathi kwamadolo akho nensimbi, kungani kungenjalo, akunjalo?
Inkinga ukuthi abalawuli bethu bezokuphepha banikezwe umsebenzi wokuvikela amaqembu amabili ahlukene abantu: labo ababopha amabhande ezihlalo kanye nalabo abangawabhinci.
Ngakho uma imoto “ihlolwa ukuphahlazeka,” kufanele bayihlole ngakho kokubili i-dummy enebhande kanye ne-dummy egcwele engekho. Ukuze baphumelele kokubili ukuhlolwa, onjiniyela bezimoto kufanele benze ngokuvumelana.
Kuma-airbag asemadolweni, onjiniyela bathola ukuthi i-airbag edolweni ingasiza i-dummy engafakwanga ibhande ukuthi ihlale iqonde endaweni yengozi ukuze ingashibiliki ngaphansi kwesiteringi bese icwiliswa ishone.
Ngeshwa, lokhu kungase kudinge iphakethe elikhudlwana, eliqinile lamadolo kunesidingo sokuvikela amathole abashayeli abaningi abanamabhande.
Ngakho-ke ama-airbag asemadolweni awabonakali elungiselelwe abantu abafana nami nawe abathatha imizuzwana emibili ukubophana.Ngakho-ke, bangaba yinkinga.Ucwaningo lwango-2019 olwenziwa yi-Insurance Institute for Highway Safety lufakazela lokhu.
I-IIHS yafunda idatha yokuphahlazeka komhlaba wangempela evela ezifundeni ezingu-14. Bathole ukuthi kubashayeli ababoshwe ngamabhande nabagibeli, ama-airbag emadolweni abenza okuncane ukuvimbela ukulimala (anciphise ingozi yokulimala cishe ngo-0.5%), futhi kwezinye izinhlobo zezingozi, zandisa Ingozi yokulimala kwethole.
Manje-ke ngenzenjani?Kuwudaba lwenqubomgomo yomphakathi oludlulela ngale kwalokhu kuhlolwa kwe-crash dummy.Kodwa uma kuya ngami, ngizobheka abantu abagqoka amabhande abo ezihlalo futhi nginikeze abanye abantu izigqoko zebhola, ngibafisele inhlanhla.
Yini edala ukuthi ilambu lesexwayiso se-airbag ku-mileage ephansi yomkami i-Honda Civic SI ukuthi ivele ngezikhathi ezithile? Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule, ukukhanya kuye kwakhanya ngemva kwesikhathi esifushane sokushayela noma ngezinye izikhathi lapho imoto iqalwa.
Abathengisi bendawo balinganisela ukuthi ukulungisa, okuhlanganisa ukudonsa isondo lokuqondisa, kuzobiza cishe amaRandi angu-500. Ngithole ukuthi ukudonsa ibhande lehlombe izikhathi ezimbalwa kwabangela ukuba ukukhanya okuyisixwayiso kucime izinsuku ezimbalwa, kodwa ekugcineni ukukhanya kuzobuya.
Ingabe isistimu yezintambo zamahlombe ayixhumekile kahle?Ingabe likhona ikhambi elisheshayo lale nkinga?- Umhlanga
Ngicabanga ukuthi kufanele ubuze umthengisi ngolwazi olwengeziwe ngaphambi kokukhokha imali engaphezu kuka-$500. Wayefuna ukususa isondo lokuqondisa, ephakamisa ukuthi ukholelwa ukuthi inkinga yayiku-airbag ngokwawo, isiphethu sewashi kukholamu yokuqondisa, noma uxhumano oluseduze.
Uma ukudonsa ibhande ehlombe ngenkathi uligqokile kwenza ukukhanya kucime, inkinga ingase ingabi ngekholomu yesiteringi.Mhlawumbe ibhande lebhande lesihlalo.Iletshi eseduze nenqulu yesokudla yomshayeli, lapho ufaka khona isiqeshana sebhande lesihlalo, iqukethe i-microswitch eyenza ikhompuyutha yazi ukuthi ibhande lakho lesihlalo livuliwe.Uma iswishi ingcolile noma ingakwazi ukulungiswa, izobangela ukuthi ku-airbag yakho ifike.
Inkinga ingase ibe ngakolunye uhlangothi lwebhande, lapho likwazi ukugoqeka khona.Kukhona i-pretensioner lapho ukuze iqinise ibhande uma kwenzeka ingozi, ikubeka esimweni esingcono sokugwema ukulimala.Ilambu lakho le-airbag lizophinde likhanyise uma kunenkinga nge-pretensioner.
Ngakho-ke, qala ubuze umthengisi ukuze uthole ukuxilongwa okuqondile. Mbuze ukuthi imoto wayiskena yini, futhi uma kunjalo, yini ayifundile?Mbuze ukuthi yini ngempela acabanga ukuthi yiyo edala inkinga nokuthi yini okuzodingeka ukuyilungisa.Uma ungangikholwa, yiba nesinye isitolo esisebenza kwaHonda siskene imoto ukuze ubone ukuthi yiluphi ulwazi oluvelayo.Ingase ikutshele ukuthi iyiphi ingxenye enephutha.
Uma kuvela ukuthi iyiswishi enephutha ngaphakathi kwe-latch - lena into noma yimuphi umakhenikha omuhle angazama ukukuhlanzela yona.Kodwa uma kuyinkimbinkimbi kunalokho, ngingagqoka ibhulukwe lakho le-kevlar bese ngiya kumdayisi.Okokuqala, i-Honda inikeza iwaranti yempilo yonke emabhandeni ezihlalo zayo.Ngakho-ke uma ifana ne-pretensioner, ukulungisa kwakho kungase kube mahhala.
Okwesibili, ama-airbag abaluleke kakhulu. Angasho umehluko phakathi kokuphila nokufa.Ngakho-ke uma ubhekene nobuchwepheshe bezokuphepha obubucayi, kunengqondo ukuya endaweni enolwazi namathuluzi.Uma izindlalifa zakho zenza iphutha, umshwalense wesikweletu uzobakhokhela isikweletu esikhulu.
