When the vehicle is not turned off, you cannot lock the car doors. Even if some car models allow locking the doors without turning off the engine, the engine will automatically shut off after locking. Here are some methods to prevent forgetting to turn off the engine when exiting the car: 1. Check the tachometer and display screen. Before getting out of the car, observe whether the display screen has turned off and gone black, and whether the tachometer reads zero. 2. Raise the steering wheel. When setting the steering wheel position, avoid setting it at the highest position. This way, when parking and turning off the engine, the steering wheel will rise. 3. Turn on the daytime running lights. In the light settings, enable the daytime running lights. After locking the doors, if the daytime running lights dim, it indicates the engine has turned off.

Mazda3 Anti-Theft Lock Flashing and Unable to Start?

It is recommended to check if there is a fault in the vehicle's central control module, or it could simply be a signal fault. Additional information is as follows: 1. Engine Immobilizer: The engine immobilizer system is an electronic device built into the car that prevents the engine from operating without the correct key (or other verification measures). 2. Passive Anti-Theft: The engine immobilizer system is a passive anti-theft system, consisting of a transponder key control unit, engine control unit (ECM), transponder key amplifier, and an ignition key with a transponder chip. When the ignition key is inserted into the lock cylinder, the transponder chip in the key sends a set of electronic codes to the transponder key amplifier located in the ignition switch lock cylinder. The signal is received by the coil of the transponder key amplifier, amplified by the amplifier, and then received by the transponder key control unit. The engine can only be started if the key code matches the code registered in the transponder key control unit. If the key code does not match the registered code in the transponder key control unit, the ECM will stop the engine from injecting fuel and igniting, making the engine unable to start. 3. Components: The engine immobilizer system consists of a transponder key control unit, engine control unit ECM, transponder key amplifier, and an ignition key with a transponder chip.

How to Tighten a Tire Valve Core?

To tighten a tire valve core, turn it clockwise, but avoid over-tightening as excessive force can damage the valve core over time. It should be tight enough to prevent air leakage. The valve core is installed inside the valve stem and functions as a one-way valve to prevent air leakage from the inner tube and to check and adjust tire pressure. The valve core consists of a small cylindrical piece with a hollow upper end and a solid lower end, featuring a small side hole connecting the hollow section. Valve cores are mainly categorized into English, American, French, German, and Italian types. To prevent clogging and air leakage, a valve cap is used to seal the valve stem's inner hole.
