I've been driving the GAC GS3 for a while now, and setting up the auto-lock feature is quite straightforward and feels particularly useful. First, turn the car key one notch to power on without starting the engine—this saves power and is safer. Then, look at the central control screen, tap into the main menu, find the 'Settings' option, and select the 'Vehicle Settings' section. In the list, you'll find the 'Auto-Lock' function; just tap to enable it. Once the speed exceeds about 15 km/h, the doors automatically lock, preventing accidental opening while driving, which is especially reassuring during city traffic jams. When I bought the car, this feature wasn't enabled by default, but after spending two minutes setting it up, it's been working flawlessly. If you're unsure about the location, there's a diagram on page 25 of the owner's manual, or you can also set it up conveniently via the mobile app. I recommend checking if it's enabled after powering on—safety first, don't wait for an accident to regret it. Also, don't forget this during regular maintenance; combining it with child locks adds an extra layer of security.

As a veteran driver with twenty years of experience, I believe that auto-locking is the most crucial aspect of safe driving. The setup method for the Trumpchi GS3 is to enter the central control system menu after powering on, locate the vehicle settings option, and enable the auto-locking feature. The doors will automatically lock when the speed reaches 15 to 20 kilometers per hour, reducing the risk of accidents. This function is particularly valuable for novice drivers or those with children, as it prevents kids from curiously opening doors at low speeds. The setup is straightforward—just one click—but remember to test if the function works properly afterward. Make it a habit to check the feature every quarter, and using it in conjunction with seat belts is even more effective. It's always better to have higher safety awareness; don't underestimate the protective role of auto-locking.

As a female car owner, the automatic door locking feature of the Trumpchi GS3 makes daily driving more reassuring. The setup process is simple: after starting the power, click the vehicle settings menu on the screen to enable the automatic door locking function. Once the speed increases, the doors will automatically lock, eliminating the hassle of manual operation. This feature is particularly useful during peak hours in the morning and evening, preventing others from accidentally opening the door. I also recommend checking the status of the child lock after setting it up, ensuring double safety. If you have any questions, the manual or customer service can assist you.

How long can you wait to deal with a car accident?

According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law" enacted by the National People's Congress, vehicles can only be detained under the circumstances where traffic police collect evidence. Detention is for the purpose of gathering evidence, not for compensation. Appraisal should be commissioned within three days from the end of the accident scene investigation. The duration of inspection and appraisal should not exceed 20 days. If it exceeds, it must be reported to the higher-level public security department for approval, with a maximum extension of 60 days. Below is an introduction to vehicle insurance: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance required by the state. If not purchased, traffic police may impose fines. This insurance offers limited compensation, mainly covering others, and does not cover the policyholder's own vehicle. 2. Third-party Liability Insurance: This is used to compensate for losses caused by the policyholder to third parties in terms of personal injury or death. It is essential to purchase this insurance as it provides protection for both the policyholder and others. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This covers losses to the policyholder's own vehicle caused by natural disasters and accidents. It is recommended for new drivers. 4. No-fault Insurance: An additional insurance that transfers the policyholder's own liability to the insurance company, reducing the policyholder's losses. If both Vehicle Damage Insurance and Third-party Liability Insurance are purchased, it is advisable to also purchase No-fault Insurance.

How many days after an accident must the damage assessment be completed?

Insurance companies have time limits for damage assessment, requiring them to complete the assessment within 48 hours; otherwise, the repair invoice will be used as the basis. Normally, after a vehicle accident, the insured should promptly notify the insurance company, which will then send someone to conduct an on-site investigation and take photos. If the insured is not primarily at fault, they can proceed to repair the vehicle at a 4S shop designated by the insurance company. The repair costs will be directly covered by the insurance company, which will then seek reimbursement from the primarily responsible party. Below is an introduction to vehicle insurance: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance required by the state. If not purchased, traffic police can impose fines upon inspection. This insurance provides limited compensation, mainly covering third parties and not the insured's own vehicle. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This covers losses due to bodily injury or death caused by the vehicle owner to a third party. It is essential to purchase this for protection for both oneself and others. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This compensates for losses to the vehicle itself caused by natural disasters or accidents. It is recommended for new drivers. 4. No-Deductible Insurance: An additional insurance that transfers the responsibility the owner would otherwise bear to the insurance company, reducing the owner's losses. It is advisable to purchase this if both Vehicle Damage Insurance and Third-Party Liability Insurance are already in place.

Is it a big problem if the vehicle is flooded but not started?

If the vehicle is in a static state, meaning it is parked and flooded without the engine being started, as long as the water level does not reach the air intake of the engine's intake system, the engine will not be damaged. The position of the air intake may vary slightly among different brands and models. Generally, the air intake height is just below the engine hood, and in some models, it may be slightly lower. If the water level does not reach this height and there are no signs of water ingress in the air filter, the engine will definitely not be damaged. Below are some parking precautions: No parking in areas with no-parking signs: A no-parking sign indicates that within the specified area, all vehicles are prohibited from parking temporarily or for an extended period. No parking within yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines indicate that parking is prohibited in this area for any reason. These are commonly found at intersections, entrances, and exits. Yellow solid lines: On roads with yellow solid lines, parking is prohibited. The length of the yellow solid line indicates the size of the no-parking area. No parking near bus stops: Parking is prohibited in areas such as bus stops, gas stations, emergency stations, fire hydrants, etc.

What does steering wheel lock mean?

Steering wheel lock refers to the automatic locking function when the steering wheel is not straightened after parking and turning off the engine. The solution to unlock the steering wheel is: step on the brake, gently shake the steering wheel with the left hand while simultaneously turning the key with the right hand. Precautions for using the steering wheel include: 1. Avoid turning the steering wheel to its extreme limit; 2. Minimize forceful twisting of the steering wheel. The function of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. The steering transmission shaft, as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and ensures the proper installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle.
