Izihlalo zezimoto zenza umsebenzi omkhulu wokuvikela izingane nezinsana ngesikhathi kushayisana imoto. Ngemuva kokuphahlazeka, ingabe kuphephile ukuqhubeka nokusebenzisa isihlalo semoto, noma ingabe isihlalo semoto sidinga ukushintshwa lapho kwenzeka ingozi?
Ayikho impendulo elula yokumboza zonke izihlalo zemoto nokukhubazeka. Impendulo jikelele, "mhlawumbe." Isiphakamiso esidala kwakuwukubeka njalo izihlalo zezimoto ngemuva kokuphahlazeka, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuncane kangakanani.
Nokho, izinga lokushintshwa kwezihlalo zemoto ngemuva kwengozi liye lashintsha. Uma isihlalo somoto wengane yakho sihilelekile ekuhlaselweni, nansi indlela yokuthola ukuthi kufanele ishintshwe yini.
I-NHTSA Car Seat Re-Use Izincomo
I-National Highway Safety Traffic Administration (NHTSA) inikezela izincomo ngesikhathi sokushintsha indawo yezihlalo zemoto ngemuva kokuphazamiseka kwezimoto, ngakho-ke kuzodingeka uhlole uhlu lweHNPSA futhi uqinisekise ukuthi imoto yakho nezihlalo zemoto zihlangabezana nazo zonke izindlela eziyisihlanu ukuze uvikeleke isetshenziswe kabusha. Izindlela ezinhlanu zokumiswa kwezimoto ngemuva kwengozi yizi:
- ukwazi ukushayela imoto kude nesayithi lokuphahlazeka. Uma imoto idinga ukukhishwa endaweni yengozi, isihlalo semoto kufanele sishintshwe.
- umnyango wemoto oseduze nesihlalo semoto awulimazanga. Uma imoto yakho inomugqa wesithathu wezihlalo futhi isihlalo semoto sifakiwe lapho, umnyango oseduze kakhulu emgqeni wesibili, noma umnyango wangemuva (uma imoto yakho inesinye, ezinye izimoto ezinkulu ziyenzayo).
- akekho emotweni eyalimala nganoma iyiphi indlela.
- ayikho emasakeni e-air emotweni. Lokhu kuhlanganisa izikhwama zomoya zangaphambili, izikhwama zecala elihlangothini lomoya, izikhwama zomoya ezinobhantshi, izikhwama zomoya ezihlangene nezihlalo ze-knee bolster bolster.
- akukho umonakalo obonakalayo esihlalweni semoto. Akunamaphutha, ama-creases, anwebhuza ama-webbing, ama-string aphukile, ama-stress, noma izingcezu eziphukile.
Uma imoto yakho nezihlalo zezimoto zingahlangabezane nazo zonke izindlela eziyisihlanu , izihlalo zezimoto kufanele zithathelwe indawo. Akunandaba ukuthi ingane igibele esihlalweni semoto ngenkathi kuqhuma. Ngisho nesihlalo esingenalutho sezimoto esasiboshwe emotweni kumele simelane namandla okuqhuma emgwaqeni. Amandla esitulo semoto aqhubekela phambili futhi agcinwe ibhande lesikhulu noma ibhande le-LATCH angabangela umonakalo ongase ugcine isihlalo semoto singenzi umsebenzi uma ukhona kwenye indawo.
Uma unezihlalo ezingaphezu kweyodwa imoto emotweni yakho, omunye angadinga ukushintshwa ngemuva kokuphazamiseka, kanti omunye akwenzi. Isibonelo, uma umnyango oseduzane nesihlalo somoto othile ubonakalisiwe, kodwa umnyango oseduze nomunye umhlalo wezimoto wawungekho, khona-ke kuphela isihlalo somoto esizodinga ukushintshwa uma nje ezinye izindlela zihlangene.
Imiyalo Yomkhiqizi Ukusebenzisa Isihlalo Sezimoto Emva Kokuqhuma
Abanye abakhiqizi bezinqola zemoto basho encwadini yokufundisa yomsebenzisi ukuthi izihlalo zabo zezimoto kufanele zishintshwe ngemva kokuphazamiseka, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi zincane kangakanani. Imiyalo yabakhiqizi ihamba phambili ngaphezu kwezinye iziphakamiso ze-ejenti, ngakho-ke hlola ibhukwana ngaphambi kokunquma noma ungasebenzisi isitifiketi semoto ngemuva kokuphahlazeka.
I-Graco, isibonelo, ithi izihlalo zabo zezimoto kumele zishintshwe ngemva kokuphazamiseka.
Incwadi yomsebenzisi ye-Graco Snug Ride Classic Connect 32 isitifiketi senqola yemoto ithi, "Faka indawo yokuvimbela usana kanye nesisekelo ngemuva kokuphazamiseka kwanoma yiluphi uhlobo. Ingozi ingabangela umonakalo ekuncintweni kwezingane ongase ukwazi ukubona." Akunandaba ukuthi ukuphahlazeka kwaba mncane. Ukuze usebenzise kahle isihlalo somoto, kufanele ulandele imiyalelo yomkhiqizi.
UBritax, omunye umakhi womhlalo wemoto, utshela amakhasimende ukuthi asebenzise izinqubo ezinhlanu ze-NHTSA eziboniswe ngenhla. Abanye abakhiqizi abaningi bezimoto basebenzisa le ndlela ukuze banqume ukuthi kufanele yini ukusebenzisa isihlalo semoto ngemuva kokuphahlazeka. Funda lo mbhalo ukuze uthole ukuthi yini edingekayo ngumenzi womhlalo wengane yakho.
Ukulandela imiyalo yomkhiqizi kubalulekile hhayi kuphela ukuphepha, kodwa ngezinhloso zewaranti. Uma umkhiqizi ethi esikhundleni somhlalo wezimoto ngemuva kokuphahlazeka, futhi engashintshiwe, noma yimuphi umsebenzi ohlobene nawo wewaranti angeke uhlanganiswe uma kudingekile. Ukusebenzisa kabi imishini ngokuvamile kuvimbela iwaranti yomkhiqizi.
Ezinye Izinsiza Zokuphepha Ngemva Kokuqhuma
Ungase uzwe ukuthi ukuhlolwa okubukwayo kukwanele ekunqumeni ukuthi noma ungayisebenzisi yini isihlalo semoto ngemuva kokuphazamiseka. Amaklayenti amaningi emotweni yokuhlola izenzakalo baye bathi bacabanga ukuthi bangathatha isihlalo semoto esiteshini somlilo noma umnyango wamaphoyisa ukuba uqiniseke ukuthi uphephile ngemuva kokuphazamiseka. Noma kunjalo, umonakalo wokuphazamiseka awuhlali njalo ubonakala emehlweni. Kukhona ezinye izilinganiso kanye nama-x-rays angathola umonakalo ofihliwe, kodwa izindleko zalezi zivivinyo ngokuvamile zikhulu kunezindleko zesikhwama semoto esisha kakhulu. Ngaphandle kwalolu hlobo lokuhlolwa, akekho ongakwazi ukuhlola isihlalo sakho semoto futhi aqinisekise ukuthi iphephile ngemva kokuphahlazeka.
Khuluma nenkampani yakho yomshuwalense mayelana nokubuyisela izihlalo zemoto. Njengoba izihlalo zemoto eziphephile zidingeka kuzo zonke izifundazwe, izinkampani zomshuwalense kufanele zikhokhe zonke izindleko zemoto entsha. Ezinye izinkampani zingase zizame ukulinganisela izindleko zesitulo semoto ngokususelwa eminyakeni yobuhlalo obonakalisiwe. Isinxephezelo esilinganisiwe esamukelekile, noma kunjalo, ngoba akuphephile ukuthenga i-old, esetshenziswa imoto emzimbeni wengane yakho.
Ngokuvamile, isihlalo semoto senzelwe ukuba umkhiqizo wokusebenzisa isikhathi esisodwa. Lokho kusho ukuthi yenzelwe ukuvikela ingane yakho ngokusebenzisa ukulimala okukodwa. Uma usuwenzile umsebenzi wayo, qiniseka ukuthi usebenzisa izinkombandlela ze-NHTSA ngenhla, kanye nemiyalo yomkhiqizi, ukucacisa ukuthi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuphephile ngokwanele ukuze ukwazi ukumelana nokunye ukuphahlazeka nokugcina ingane yakho ivikelekile kahle.
