Incazelo yezibani eziyisixwayiso kudeshibhodi yemoto

Cishe uke waqaphela ukuthi uma udumisa imoto inqwaba yezimpawu ikhanya kudeshibhodi yayo. Amalambu avamise ukucisha uma injini iqalwa. Ungase futhi ubone ezinye izimpawu zikhanya ngenkathi ushayela.

Akuqondakali ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuthi izimpawu zisho ukuthini, ngakho kungaba nzima ukuqonda ukuthi zikhuluma ngani. Nansi inkomba yethu yokuthi izibani ezixwayisayo zezimoto zisho ukuthini nokuthi wenzeni ngazo.

Asho ukuthini izibani eziyisixwayiso kudeshibhodi?

Uma ilambu elixwayisayo likhanya, likhombisa ukuthi isimo semoto yakho sesishintshile ngendlela edinga ukunakwa futhi kungase kuphazamise nokukwazi kwakho ukuqhubeka nokushayela ngokuphepha.

Ukukhanya kuthatha isimo sophawu noma igama elibonisa inkinga. Uma imoto yakho inesibonisi somshayeli wedijithali, ungase futhi ubone isexwayiso esisekelwe embhalweni esichaza inkinga. 

Kukhona amalambu axwayisayo emoto ngayinye enawo kanti amanye ayimishini okukhona kuzo izimoto kuphela. Izimpawu namagama asetshenziswayo ngokuvamile ayafana kuzo zonke izimoto, nakuba abakhiqizi besebenzisa ukuhlukahluka okuhlukile kwezingajwayelekile kakhulu. Sizobheka izinkomba zesignali ezivamile - lezo ongase uzibone - ngemininingwane eminingi kamuva.

Yini ebangela ukuthi izibani ezixwayisayo zikhanyise?

Akuwona wonke ukukhanya kudeshibhodi yemoto yakho okuyisibani esiyisixwayiso empeleni. Cishe ujwayelene nezimpawu eziluhlaza neziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ukukhombisa ukuthi amalambu emoto yakho avuliwe kanye nezimpawu zesibani senkungu esiphuzi.

Iningi lezinye izinkomba kusibonisi somshayeli wemoto yakho zibonisa ukuthi kukhona uhlobo oluthile lwenkinga. Ngayinye ihlobene nengxenye yemoto yakho enenkinga. 

Ezinye zazo kulula ukuzixazulula. Isibonelo, inkomba yephampu yamafutha ephuzi ibonisa ukuthi imoto iphelelwa uphethiloli. Kodwa ezinye izibani eziyisixwayiso zikhomba izinkinga ezinkulu kakhulu. Eziningi zalezi zihlobene namazinga aphansi oketshezi noma inkinga kagesi.

Izinhlelo eziningi zokuphepha kwabashayeli ezimotweni zakamuva nazo zikhombisa ukukhanya okuyisixwayiso uma zicushiwe. Isexwayiso Sokuhamba Ngomzila kanye nezibani zesexwayiso zokushayisana phambili ezinye zezinto okungenzeka ukuthi uzibone. Uzobona nokukhanya uma omunye wezicabha ungavalwanga kahle noma uma omunye wabagibeli bakho engalifakile ibhande.

Ngingakwazi ukuqhubeka nokushayela uma ilambu eliyisixwayiso likhanya?

Isignali ngayinye yesixwayiso idinga wena, njengomshayeli, ukuthi wenze okuthile. Kuye ngenkinga, ungase ube nezinguquko endleleni oshayela ngayo futhi kungase kudingeke ukuthi uqale ukufuna indawo ephephile ongama kuyo. Kufanele okungenani wehlise isivinini uye esivinini esiphephile uma kunesidingo.

Ubukhulu benkinga ngokuvamile buboniswa umbala wesibani esiyisixwayiso. Ilambu eliphuzi lisho ukuthi kunenkinga okufanele ixazululwe ngokushesha, kodwa imoto ayihambi. Amalambu e-amber ajwayelekile afaka inkomba ephansi kaphethiloli kanye nesixwayiso somfutho wesondo ophansi. Uma kunesidingo, yehlisa ijubane futhi uqale ukucinga igalaji likaphethiloli.

Ukukhanya okuphuzi noma okuwolintshi kubonisa inkinga enkulu kakhulu. Nalapha futhi imoto ngeke ime, kodwa injini ingangena kumodi yamandla amancane, okwenza imoto ihambe kancane ukuze ivimbele umonakalo omkhulu. Izexwayiso ezijwayelekile ezisawolintshi zifaka ukukhanya kokulawula injini kanye neleveli kawoyela ephansi.

Ilambu elibomvu lisho ukuthi kunenkinga enkulu engase iphazamise ikhono lakho lokushayela ngokuphepha. Kufanele ume endaweni ephephile yokuqala ongayithola, bese ushayela abezimo eziphuthumayo bese uyisa imoto egaraji ukuze ilungiswe. Amalambu abomvu ajwayelekile ahlanganisa i-ABS (anti-lock braking system) isexwayiso sokuhluleka kanye nophawu lukanxantathu olusho ukuthi "yima".

Amanye amamanuwali wesevisi yemoto

Yini ongayilindela ku-TO

Kufanele ngenze isevisi yemoto yami kangaki?

Amasheke ayi-10 okufanele ube nawo ngaphambi kohambo olude lwemoto

Ingabe kufanele ngiye egaraji uma ukukhanya kwesexwayiso kubanyisiwe?

Kufanele ngaso sonke isikhathi ulungise noma yiziphi izinkinga ezenzeka ngemoto yakho ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka. Kunezinkinga ezithile ezikhonjiswa amalambu axwayisayo ongazixazulula ngokwakho, njengokufakela uphethiloli, ukufutha amathayi nokufaka uwoyela.

Uma kunenkinga ongakwazi ukuyilungisa noma ukuyikhomba, kufanele uhambise imoto egaraji ngokushesha okukhulu.

Ingabe izibani ezixwayisayo ziyiphutha le-MOT?

Njengomthetho ojwayelekile, izibani eziyisixwayiso ze-amber ne-amber ziboniswa njengeseluleko sokulungisa uma kunesidingo, inqobo nje uma inkinga eyibonisayo ingangqubuzani nezidingo zokuhlolwa kwe-MOT. Imoto maningi amathuba okuthi izophuka uma, ngokwesibonelo, kuboniswa isexwayiso soketshezi lwe-windshield ephansi.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izibani ezibomvu eziyisixwayiso ziwukwehluleka okuzenzakalelayo.

Yiziphi izibani eziyisixwayiso ezivame kakhulu?

Kuze kube manje, sibheke ukuthi ayini ama-dash lights nokuthi asho ukuthini ngomqondo obanzi. Manje sizobhekisisa izimpawu ezinhlanu eziyisixwayiso okungenzeka ukuthi uzibone, kanye nalezo okufanele uzinake kakhulu. Iqala nge...

Isexwayiso somfutho wesondo

Lokhu kubonisa ukuthi umfutho wesondo uwele ngaphansi kwezinga eliphephile. Kungenzeka ukuthi ulinde isikhathi eside kakhulu kusukela uwapompa, noma ungase ube nokubhoboza. 

Uma ubona isexwayiso, ungadluli ku-50 mph uze uthole igalaji likaphethiloli lapho ungafutha khona amathayi akho. Uma lokhu sekwenziwe, uzodinga ukusetha kabusha isistimu yokuqapha umfutho wesondo wemoto yakho (TPMS) ukuze usule isexwayiso. Bheka imanuwali yomnikazi wemoto yakho ukuze uthole imiyalelo yokuthi ungakwenza kanjani lokhu.

Uhlelo lwe-TPMS lungase lunikeze izexwayiso ezingamanga, kodwa ungazinaki. Uma ubona isexwayiso, yima njalo ukumpompa amathayi akho.

Isibani sesexwayiso sezinga lokushisa kwenjini

Lokhu kubonisa ukuthi injini yemoto yakho ishisa ngokweqile futhi ingase yehluleke. Isizathu esivame kakhulu uwoyela wenjini ephansi noma isipholile esiphansi, zombili ongazigcwalisa ngokwakho. Thola ukuthi ungakwenza kanjani lokhu kumhlahlandlela wethu wokunakekelwa kwemoto.

Uma isixwayiso sivela ngokuphindaphindiwe, cishe kunenkinga enkulu futhi kufanele uhambise imoto egaraji ukuze uyilungise. Uma isexwayiso sivela ngenkathi ushayela, yima endaweni ephephile bese ushayela abezimo eziphuthumayo. Uma uqhubeka nokushayela, uzifaka engozini enkulu yokulimala enjini yemoto yakho.

Isexwayiso Sebhethri Eliphansi

Lesi sexwayiso uzosibona uma uqala imoto, okungenzeka kube wumsebenzi onzima njengoba idinga ibhethri eligcwele amandla ukuze iqale injini. Imbangela okungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi imoto yakho inebhethri elidala elidinga ukushintshwa. Kodwa-ke, i-alternator ayishajisi ibhethri. Noma ukuthi ukungasebenzi kahle kubangela ukuthi ibhethri likhiphe izinto zikagesi.

Uma isexwayiso sivela ngenkathi ushayela, yima endaweni ephephile bese ushayela abezimo eziphuthumayo. Ikakhulukazi uma ushayela ebusuku, njengoba amalambu emoto angase acime. Injini nayo ingama.

Isexwayiso se-ABS

Zonke izimoto zesimanje zifakelwe i-anti-lock braking system (ABS), evimbela ukushelela kwamasondo uma kubhuleka kakhulu. Futhi kwenza ukuba amakhona kube lula kakhulu uma ubhuleka. Uma ukukhanya okuyisixwayiso kukhanya, ngokuvamile kusho ukuthi enye yezinzwa ohlelweni ihlulekile. Amabhuleki asazosebenza, kodwa hhayi ngendlela ephumelelayo.

Uma isexwayiso sivela ngenkathi ushayela, yima endaweni ephephile bese ushayela abezimo eziphuthumayo. Ngenkathi wenza lokhu, zama ukugwema ukubhuleka kanzima, kodwa uma kunesidingo, qaphela ukuthi amathayi akho angase ashelele.

Isexwayiso sokulawula injini

Lokhu kukhomba ukuthi isistimu yokuphatha injini (noma i-ECU) ithole inkinga engase iphazamise ukusebenza kwenjini. Kunohlu olude lwezimbangela ezingase zibe khona, okuhlanganisa izihlungi ezivalekile nezinkinga zikagesi.

Uma kuvela isexwayiso sokuphathwa kwenjini ngenkathi ushayela, kungenzeka ukuthi injini izongena "kwimodi" enamandla aphansi enciphisa izinga lokusheshisa kwemoto futhi inciphise isivinini sayo esiphezulu. Uma inkinga ibucayi kakhulu, umshini wakho uzohamba kancane. Qhubeka nokushayela kuphela uma kuphephile ukwenza kanjalo, futhi noma kunjalo, qonda egaraji eliseduze ukuze ulungise inkinga.
