Uthenge imoto yakho kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, ngoko ngokuqinisekileyo inayo ibhokisi elimnyama. Ezi zixhobo zibizwa ngokuba ngabarekhoda beenkcukacha zeziganeko (EDRs), kwaye ziyakwazi ukulandelela yonke into ukusuka ngokukhawuleza uhamba phambi kweso siganeko sengozi nokuba ngaba unxibe ibhande lakho lokuhlala ngexesha okanye ungekho. Kwaye i-NHTSA, i-96 ekhulwini yeminyaka yomzekelo, iingu-2012 izithuthi ezithengiswayo eMelika ziqulethe uhlobo lwe-EDR.
Ekubeni abarekhodata beemvelaphi zengxelo baxhamla kakhulu kwiinkqubo zolawulo lweemoto zeemoto abazijongayo, kwaye ezininzi zakhiwa ngqo kwiiyunithi zokulawula i-airbag, ukukhupha okanye ukuzikhupha kuphela akuyiyo inketho.
Ngoko, uvela phi na?
Indlela yokuchonga ukuba i-Car yakho inebhokisi elimnyama
Ukuba imoto yakho okanye iloli yakhiwe kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, ngoko unako ukufikelela kwibhanki kuyo ibe nehlobo oluthile lwe-EDR. Ngaphandle kokubuyela kwiminyaka elishumi, malunga nesiqingatha sezo zithuthi ezitsha ezithengiswayo eUnited States zafakwa ezi bhokisi ezimnyama. Ngoko, utsho njani ukuba imoto yakho okanye iloli inalo?
Indlela elula yokufumana ukuba imoto yakho inobhokisi emnyama kukukhangela incwadana yomnini. Nangona i-NHTSA yenqabile ukuyala abakhiqizi okanye abathengisi ukuba babonise ubukho be-EDR xa i-agesi yokuqala ibusa ngalo mbandela ngo-2006, yenze imimiselo efuna uhlobo oluthile lokubhengezwa kwinqununu yomnini. Ukuba akukho nto ikhankanyiweyo ye-EDR kwinqununu yomnini wakho, kwaye imoto yakho yakhiwa emva kwesigqibo sika-2006, ngoko ungekho ibhokisi emnyama kwimoto yakho.
Ewe, kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuba isigqibo sika-2006 sanikezela abenzi be-automakers iminyaka emithandathu ukuthobela. Oko kuthetha ukuba imoto kunye namaloli akhiwe phakathi kuka-2006 no-2012 angaba ne-EDR ngaphandle kwendlela yokudalula. Kwaye omnye unyaka emva kokuba isigwebo senzeke, i-96 pesenti yazo zonke izithuthi ezintsha zase-US zaza zafakwa nge-EDRs.
Ukucima okanye ukuSusa iiRekodi zeDatha yeDeko
Ukuguquka, ukukhubaza, okanye ukususa i-EDR ngokuqhelekileyo kunzima okanye akunakwenzeka. Ubunzima bubangelwa kukuba ezi zinto azikho iindlela eziqhelekileyo, oko kuthetha ukuba indawo kunye nokubonakala kwe-EDR ziyahlukahluka ukusuka kwesinye ukuya kwinye kwaye kwimizekelo eyahlukeneyo eyenziwa yi-OEM efanayo. Omnye umba kukuba ii-EDR zihlala zakhiwe kwi modyuli yokulawula i- airbag, imodyuli yesibini ye-SRS, okanye imodyuli yolawulo lwe-electronic (ECM), oko kuthetha ukuba abanako ukususwa okanye ukuxhatshazwa nhlobo.
Ngona xa isithuthi sinomsebenzi obalaseleyo osebenza kuphela njenge-EDR, phantse njalo ikhonjiswe kwi-airbags okanye kwi-SRS ngandlela-thile. Oku kunjalo ngokukodwa kwizithuthi ezintsha, kwaye unokufumanisa ukuba nangona ulawula ukufumana i-EDR edibeneyo, i-airbags zakho zingashenxisa ngokukhawuleza xa uqala ukudibana nazo.
Ukuba unobungqina obukhulu malunga nokukhubaza okanye ukususa i-EDR yakho, ukubethelwa kwakho kukugqwesa kukujonga omnye umntu oye wenza ngokuthe ngempumelelo ngeso sithuthi esichaphazela ngokufanelekileyo ukwenza, imodeli, kunye nomnyaka wakho kwaye uvela apho.
Kakade ke, kukho imiphumo enokubangela ukuba i-EDR ihambe ngaphezu nangaphezulu ngaphaya kokungena ngengozi i-airbags. Ngokomzekelo, ukuxhatshazwa kwezi zixhobo ngokwenene akukho mthethweni kwamanye amagunya. Ukuze ukhuseleke, kufuneka uhlale uhlola kwimithetho yakho yasekhaya ngaphambi kokuba udibanise nge-EDR yakho.
Ukuthenga Imoto ngaphandle kwebhokisi elimnyama
Nangona kunokuba nzima okanye akunakwenzeka ukukhubaza i-EDR kwimoto yakho, uhlala unenketho yokuthenga isithuthi esisetyenzisiweyo. Kwezinye iimeko, kuya kufuneka ufune ukumbumba kakuhle, kodwa kukho ezinye i-automakers eziye zatshintsha kuphela kwi-bandwagon ngokutsha nje. Ngokomzekelo, i-General Motors sele sele ifake ii-EDR ezininzi kwiimoto zabo ngo-1998.
Nangona kungekho uluhlu olubanzi lwezithuthi ezenzayo okanye ezingenazo ii-EDR, enye indawo engafanelekanga yokuqalisa uphando lwakho luneenkampani ezakha izixhobo ezijongene ne-EDRs, ekubeni zinikeza uludwe lwezithuthi zixhobo ezihambelana nazo. Iinkampani ezinikezela ngeenkonzo zophando ngengozi zibonelela ngeenqwelo zeenqwelo ezinokukwazi ukudonsa idatha. Fumana isithuthi esingekho kwenye yale ntlu, kwaye mhlawumbi ufumene imoto engenayo ibhokisi emnyama.
