You can check if the door lock is stuck in the latch, which prevents the door from locking. You can use a screwdriver to release the latch. If it's a remote door lock and you can't lock the car, check if any door is not properly closed, as this can also prevent locking. If the remote locking fails, it might be due to insufficient battery power in the car's battery, and replacing the battery should resolve the issue. It's also possible that the remote key's battery is dead, preventing remote locking. In this case, you can take out the key and manually lock the car.

What is the purpose of adjustable suspension stiffness in cars?

The purpose of adjustable suspension stiffness in cars is to achieve a balance and switch between handling performance and comfort. Vehicles with adjustable suspension stiffness can be divided into: 1. Those where the driver actively controls the suspension stiffness via buttons; 2. Those where the vehicle automatically adjusts suspension stiffness based on driving speed or sensor data, without allowing the driver to manually change it. The adjustable suspension stiffness modes typically include Normal, Sport, and Comfort. This is achieved by the control unit adjusting the valve on the shock absorber, controlling the circulation of hydraulic fluid inside the shock absorber, and thereby changing the damping coefficient of the shock absorber.
