Can the car door be closed gently?

Car doors can be closed gently. Here are the relevant details: 1. Introduction: Under normal circumstances, when the sealing performance is met, the closing speed of a car door typically ranges around 1m/s, with an error margin of 0.2m/s. The closer the closing speed is to 1m/s, the better the door closing force of the vehicle. 2. Additional Information: Not all cars require a strong force to close the door. Observe the force used by the owner when closing the door and adjust accordingly. Otherwise, for doors like electric ones that don't require manual closing or need to be closed gently, excessive force can easily damage the door. The optimal time to close a door is within two seconds, using the most reasonable amount of force.
After driving for over a decade, I've realized that gently closing a car door doesn't always ensure it's properly shut. This depends on the vehicle's model and year. Older cars with hardened or worn-out sealing strips and latch mechanisms might catch with just a light push, while newer models with better seals often require more force. Last week, while driving a friend's new energy vehicle, the dashboard alarm went off three times from gently closing the door. Eventually, I figured it out: you need to apply enough force to hear the latch click into place and confirm the door indicator light on the dashboard turns off. Consistently closing doors too lightly can accelerate wear on the locking mechanism and even risk the door popping open on bumpy roads, which is dangerous. It's best to develop a habit of closing doors with moderate force.
