To set the horn sound when locking the Elantra, you need to install an anti-theft device, as the factory usually only provides central locking without an anti-theft system. Simply connect the anti-theft horn inside the door and wire it to the locking switch. When you press the lock button, the horn will sound. Additional Information: 1. The Elantra is equipped with a naturally aspirated engine, which does not have very high requirements for engine oil. Oil with a viscosity of 20 or 30 is sufficient. The oil forms a film on the surfaces of the engine components, reducing wear and lowering the engine's operating resistance. However, if the oil viscosity is too high, it will increase engine resistance, and if it is too low, it will not form an effective film. Therefore, it is essential to choose the correct oil for the Elantra. 2. The Elantra's unique "Fluidic Sculpture" design gives the entire body smooth, flowing lines, with chrome accents adding a sporty touch. The front fascia follows the family design, making the overall appearance fashionable and distinctive.

I've been driving my Elantra for three years, and setting the lock sound is quite simple. Sit in the driver's seat, press the start button twice without stepping on the brake to power on. Then use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to enter the dashboard menu, find the door lock option in the vehicle settings, and there's a 'horn sound' switch inside—just turn it on. If this option isn't in the menu, it might be due to different model configurations; older models may need a program update at the dealership using a computer. I recommend testing it after enabling—press the lock button in a parking lot to hear a 'beep,' which is more reassuring than just seeing the hazard lights, especially when finding your car at night.

What is the Online Study for Point Deduction Reduction on Driver's License?

According to Article 5 of the Notice issued by the Ministry of Public Security on April 1, 2022, regarding the "Work Regulations on Reducing Points for Road Traffic Safety Violations through Accepting Traffic Safety Education (Trial)" (Public Transport Management [2020] No. 14): Motor vehicle drivers who apply to participate in traffic safety education to reduce points for traffic violations must participate in corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning, examinations, or traffic safety public welfare activities according to their highest permitted driving license type and meet the relevant requirements to apply for point reduction. The "Study for Point Deduction Reduction" is a measure for drivers holding a driver's license who have been penalized with points due to traffic violations. After participating in online traffic safety education and passing the examination, their points can be reduced. This is a convenient traffic management measure uniformly deployed by the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. Function: The "Study for Point Deduction Reduction" reduces existing points on the driver's license rather than adding points or replacing penalty points. The points obtained through free study are used to clear the penalty records. For example, if a driver is penalized with 6 points, passing the point reduction examination can clear these 6 points, starting fresh. Regulations: The number of points that can be deducted after point reduction depends on how many points the driver had before the study, but the cumulative points cannot exceed 11. Whether or not the driver participates in point reduction, the driver's license only has 12 points. The point reduction only reduces existing points and does not increase the total points to 18. Specific considerations are as follows: Applicable Individuals: Motor vehicle drivers holding a driver's license from the People's Republic of China, regardless of the permitted driving license type or whether they are commercial vehicle drivers, can participate in point reduction. They must participate in corresponding road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge learning and examinations according to their highest permitted driving license type. Specific Rules: Motor vehicle drivers participating in online road traffic laws, regulations, and related content learning must study continuously for 5 minutes each time, accumulating 30 minutes of study within 3 days. They can then register for an examination within 7 days. Passing the examination will reduce 1 point. Drivers can also attend on-site learning, with each session lasting no less than 1 hour. After completing the required study hours, they can apply for an examination. Passing the examination will reduce 2 points. Drivers can also participate in offline safety public welfare activities, with each session lasting 1 hour, reducing 1 point per session. Accumulating 30 minutes of study within 3 days, with each study session lasting no less than 5 minutes, and passing the examination can reduce 1 point. The maximum point reduction in one scoring cycle is 6 points. Non-acceptance Situations: The following situations will not be accepted: In the previous scoring cycle, the driver had two or more instances of full-point penalties. Within a 3-point cycle, the driver was involved in hit-and-run accidents, drunk driving, or the use of forged or altered documents or license plates. The driver's license is in the probation period or has not been reviewed on time. The driver has unprocessed traffic violation records. The driver has a vehicle with an expired safety technical inspection or one that has not been deregistered as required. The driver has already reduced the maximum of 6 points in the current cycle.

Relevant information about the air filter is as follows: 1. Classification of air filters: Based on the filtration principle, air filters can be divided into several types including filtration type, centrifugal type, oil bath type, and composite type. 2. Regular cleaning of the air filter is necessary: After prolonged operation, the filter element accumulates a certain amount of impurities, leading to increased pressure and reduced flow rate, at which point timely cleaning is required.

Why Do Flooded Cars Have Their Trunks Opened?

The reason why the trunk of a flooded car is opened is due to air pressure; at a certain pressure, the trunk will automatically open. Below are specific methods to determine if a car has been flooded: Odor: When sitting in the driver's seat, there will be a rotten smell of mud. No matter how much a water-damaged car is cleaned, some traces of this mud odor will remain. Copper Wire Oxidation: There will be oxidized copper wires on the wiring and connectors. In severely flooded cars, even after treatment, it's difficult to completely remove moisture from the engine wiring and transmission sensor connectors. Over time, the copper wires on these components will react with air and moisture, forming green copper rust.

Will the fuel tank of a flooded car take in water?

The fuel tank will not take in water. The fuel tank has excellent sealing and a certain degree of pressure resistance. Here is additional information: Vehicle wading: Vehicle wading refers to driving through low-lying, waterlogged areas, typically occurring during rainy weather when inadequate drainage leads to water accumulation in low-lying road sections. Stall handling: If a car stalls in water, the main cause is usually water entering the exhaust pipe, though in some cases, electrical damage may also occur. Once the car stalls, never attempt to restart the engine, as this may cause water to enter the intake manifold and damage the valves, potentially leading to severe engine failure.
