The wheel hubs of the Mazda3 Axela and Honda Civic are not interchangeable. If mismatched hubs are discovered while driving, penalties may be imposed. Relevant information about wheel hubs is as follows: Concept of Wheel Hubs: A wheel hub is the rotating part at the center of a tire, connected to the rim via spokes, which is the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. Wheel hubs are also known as rims, steel wheels, or simply wheels. They come in various types based on diameter, width, manufacturing method, and material. Classification of Wheel Hubs: Wheel hubs, also referred to as rims, can be categorized mainly into painted and chrome-plated types, depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models. Chrome-plated wheel hubs can further be divided into silver plating, water plating, and pure chrome plating, among others.
Actually, I've researched the auto-locking settings for quite a few car models before. Nowadays, many vehicles handle this through the central control screen—you sit in the driver's seat, start the car but don't drive off, then find the 'Vehicle Settings' or 'Safety Settings' menu in the central display. There's usually an 'Auto-Lock While Driving' option—just tap to enable it. Some older models require physical buttons, like that American car I drove before, where you had to press and hold both the unlock and lock buttons on the driver's door for ten seconds until you hear two beeps from the horn to confirm the setup. If you really can't find it, checking the manual is the most reliable approach—operations vary significantly across brands. Also, Japanese cars have a common trait: most default to auto-locking at 20 km/h, while German cars typically lock as soon as you start moving. This logic is worth noting.
Just helped my neighbor adjust this feature last week. Taking a common family car as an example, first make sure the gear is in P, then without pressing the brake, quickly press the start button twice to power on (do not start the engine), then press and hold the lock button on the center console for about five to ten seconds. At this point, the dashboard usually flashes the hazard lights twice to indicate successful setup. The key is to operate before starting the engine, as many beginners often make mistakes at this step. Some models may require additional operations with the turn signal lever, such as flicking the high beam three times in combination, which depends on the specific model. If you really can't figure it out, you can call the 4S store, and they can usually solve it with a few remote instructions.
