It is not recommended to make a new key if the electric car key is lost; it is safer to replace the lock directly. Here are the relevant details: Disabling the key: If all car remote keys are lost, you should immediately go to a 4S store to disable the lost car keys and then have a new key made. Keeping the key safe: When using the car, always keep the key secure and leave a spare key at home as a backup. Do not carry all keys with you, as this increases the risk of losing them all. Unlocking: You can contact a professional locksmith to unlock the car and then go to a 4S store to have a new key made. However, relevant documents such as ID and vehicle registration are required. If the vehicle registration is not available, you will need to file a report at the local police station. Even after obtaining a new key, be cautious about not leaving valuables in the car. The lock button not only locks the car but also has an alarm function. Pressing the lock button for 5 seconds can disable the electric car alarm, while the locking function remains active.

How often should the engine timing chain be replaced?

The engine timing chain is maintenance-free for life. Related introduction: 1. Introduction: The car timing chain is the timing chain. The main function of the engine timing belt is to drive the engine's valve train, ensuring that the engine's intake and exhaust valves open or close at the appropriate time to allow the engine cylinders to properly intake and exhaust air. In some models, such as the Volkswagen Jetta (EFI), Santana 2000, Bora, Audi, etc., the timing belt also drives the water pump. 2. Safety: For all engines, the timing belt must never skip teeth or break. If skipping occurs, the engine will not function properly, leading to symptoms such as unstable idling, poor acceleration, or failure to start. If the timing belt breaks, the engine will immediately shut down. In multi-valve engines, this can cause the pistons to bend the valves, and in severe cases, it may even damage the entire engine.
