2019 Lavida Plus method to enable the horn sound when locking: 1. Press the brake pedal, shift the gear lever to P position, then release the brake pedal; 2. Press the one-button start key twice consecutively, and close all doors; 3. Hold the lock button on the driver's door for more than 10 seconds to complete the setup. The locking horn sound is a reminder method to inform the driver that the vehicle has been locked. Taking the Lavida Plus 1.5 automatic comfort version as an example: its length, width, and height are 4670mm, 1806mm, and 1474mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2688mm. It is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension.

I just bought a 2019 Lavida Plus last year and wanted to enable the horn sound on lock feature at the time, as it reminds me that the car is securely locked and prevents accidental touches by others. My friend, who is a car mechanic, helped me enable it using a VCDS diagnostic tool. The steps were quite simple: first, purchase or borrow an OBD scanner and plug it into the port under the steering wheel, then open the software to connect to the vehicle's central control system. Find the settings option for the central electronic control unit, where there is a parameter related to the alarm sound. Change it from the default 'disabled' to 'enabled.' The whole process took less than 10 minutes, and after enabling it, I tested locking the car and heard the horn sound. I find this feature very practical, especially in parking lots, as it makes it easy to confirm the locked status. However, be careful not to tamper with other settings to avoid false alarms or code errors. If you're unsure, I recommend asking a car-savvy friend for help or checking online tutorial videos—many Volkswagen owners share their experiences online.

Enabling the horn sound when locking the car is a minor modification on my Lavida Plus, as I usually enjoy tinkering with car equipment. You'll need a diagnostic tool, such as Volkswagen's specialized tool like VCDS or an affordable domestic scanner. Connect it to the OBD port, turn on the power, navigate to the central electronic control section in the menu, and change the alarm sound option from OFF to ON. It's quite simple—I've tried it myself. After the modification, the horn sounds immediately when locking the car, significantly enhancing security, especially in noisy environments where forgetting to lock is a risk. However, avoid altering other parameters randomly, as it might interfere with the system. It's advisable to back up the original settings. Using an OBD tool also allows you to check fault codes, killing two birds with one stone. DIY modifications not only save money but are also fun.

How Many New Energy Vehicle Models Does Huawei Have?

Huawei's new energy vehicles have not been released yet. Basic Introduction to New Energy Vehicles: 1. Definition: New energy vehicles, also known as alternative fuel vehicles, include pure electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles that entirely use non-petroleum fuels, as well as hybrid electric vehicles and ethanol gasoline vehicles that partially use non-petroleum fuels. All existing new energy vehicles fall under this concept, specifically categorized into six types: hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, alcohol ether fuel vehicles, natural gas vehicles, etc. 2. Advantages: High energy utilization efficiency. Studies have shown that the same crude oil, after rough refining, sent to power plants for electricity generation, charged into batteries, and then used to drive vehicles, has higher energy utilization efficiency compared to being refined into gasoline and used in gasoline engines to drive vehicles.

What Causes Steering Wheel Vibration When Braking in a Nissan?

If the steering wheel vibrates during braking, it is mostly due to uneven brake rotors. The brake rotor is a crucial component in the braking system. When the brake pedal is pressed, the caliper pistons push the brake pads, which then clamp onto the rotor to slow the vehicle down. If the rotor surface is uneven, the brake pads gripping it can cause the steering wheel to vibrate. Replacing the Brake Rotors: Alternatively, a professional can resurface the rotors to restore a smooth surface. Inspecting the Braking System: Regular maintenance should include thorough checks of the braking system, as it directly impacts driving safety. During servicing, inspect the rotor flatness and measure the brake pad thickness. Brake Fluid is Also Critical: This hygroscopic liquid easily absorbs moisture. The unsealed brake fluid reservoir has a vent hole, allowing the fluid to absorb atmospheric humidity.
