You can lock the car even if the battery is dead. The relevant explanations are as follows: Introduction: If the car battery is dead, you can lock the car doors using the mechanical key. For cars with smart keys, the mechanical key is usually hidden inside the remote. Additional Notes: Some cars have hidden keyholes for the doors. You may need to use the mechanical key to pry open the cover to reveal the keyhole underneath. To prevent damage to the car's paint, you can wrap the key with paper or cloth. This design helps maintain a more aesthetically pleasing appearance for the vehicle. The working principle of mechanical door locks involves turning the key to mechanically drive the gears to open or close the door. The basic components of a mechanical door lock mainly include the door lock switch, door lock actuator, and door lock controller.

How many seconds after the red light turns on does the electronic police camera system start taking photos?

When the red light turns on, the electronic police camera system software is already in operation; when the traffic light turns on, the camera system software shuts down 2 seconds in advance; when the yellow light turns on, the camera system software delays operation by 2 seconds. This method helps reduce the probability of the camera system mistakenly capturing vehicles running red lights. Under the following circumstances, you can apply to the traffic police to cancel the penalty for running a red light: If you run a red light to give way to emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire trucks, patrol cars, road rescue vehicles, or special vehicles, and if the vehicle owner has a dashcam, the recorded video can be used as evidence to apply to the traffic management department for penalty cancellation. If you run a red light under the guidance of traffic police, in many cases, if there are traffic police directing vehicle movement on-site, you should follow their instructions. If you are captured running a red light under such circumstances, you can apply for cancellation.

Why is the Ora charging pile flashing red?

Red light flashing is a prompt due to poor network signal, but it does not affect charging. The following are the installation instructions for the Great Wall Ora charging pile: 1. Classification: Charging piles are generally divided into two types based on their ownership: public piles and private piles. Public piles are universal but require payment for electricity and service fees, making the cost relatively high; private piles are only suitable for one's own vehicle and are not universal. 2. Scope of application: When using a public charging pile, make sure to check whether it is suitable for large vehicles or small vehicles, as some old standard piles cannot charge small vehicles, and vice versa. 3. Inspection: Before charging, check that the charging pile equipment is intact, the cables and connectors are in good condition. On rainy days, it is best not to use the charging pile outdoors without a canopy to prevent the risk of electric leakage.
