Method to set up the car lock horn: In the car's onboard computer settings, select the lock option and click 'Lock ON' to enable the car lock horn function. Once enabled, you can hear the horn sound when locking the car, ensuring that the doors are securely locked. In some Volkswagen models, the horn does not sound when locking the car by default in the factory settings, making it difficult for many car owners to determine if the doors are locked or open. So, how can you set up the horn sound to avoid this concern? To activate the car lock horn sound using the remote key, simultaneously press the unlock and lock buttons for 3 seconds until the light flashes. This will enable the horn sound. To restore the horn sound, press the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the light flashes again. To disable the car lock horn sound, go to Settings - Sound - Screen Lock Sound - Play sound when locking and unlocking the screen. If you don't want the sound to play when locking the screen, simply uncheck the box. The horn sound is produced by electromagnetic vibration, where the electromagnetic coil attracts the relay's moving contact switch to close, allowing current to flow to the horn. This current activates the electromagnet inside the horn, causing the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound. Air horns are mainly used in heavy-duty trucks with air brake systems, while electric horns are widely used in small and medium-sized vehicles due to their simple structure, compact size, lightweight, pleasant sound, and easy maintenance. To ensure normal horn sound, the horn should not be rigidly mounted but fixed on a cushioned bracket, with a leaf spring or rubber pad between the horn and the fixed bracket. To lower the horn sound, completely turn off the car, retract all displays, and then restart the engine.

What is the solution when the car battery is dead due to leaving the headlights on?

The solution when the car battery is dead due to leaving the headlights on is: use jumper cables to connect the battery to the car for charging. The impacts of a dead car battery include: 1. Affecting the battery's lifespan, frequent power loss will shorten its service time; 2. Preventing the car from starting, making the vehicle unusable and causing other electrical devices in the car to malfunction; 3. During startup, it may cause data loss in the vehicle's control modules, leading to operational failure; 4. Overheating the starter motor and reducing its lifespan; 5. Forcing the alternator to operate under heavy load after starting, prolonged power deficiency may damage the alternator.

What are the effects of a faulty ABS sensor?

ABS sensor failure will cause the ABS system to malfunction. The ABS warning light on the car dashboard will illuminate, and during emergency braking, the wheels may lock up, leading to skidding and loss of control. The vehicle can still be driven with a faulty ABS sensor, but the ABS system won't function, causing the wheels to lock during hard braking. It is essential to drive carefully and avoid sudden braking. ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is designed to automatically control the braking force during vehicle deceleration, preventing wheel lock-up and maintaining a rolling-sliding state (with a slip ratio around 20%) to ensure maximum traction between the wheels and the road surface.

What does ECT installed in the car mean?

ECT installed in the car refers to the transmission electronic control mode switch, which can quickly increase the engine speed, but will significantly increase fuel consumption. It is mostly used during highway driving. When activated, the throttle feels more responsive and direct, with gear shifts typically occurring above 4500 RPM. When ECT is turned on, it operates in sport mode, providing increased torque but higher fuel consumption. When turned off, it switches to economy mode, which is more fuel-efficient. The ECT button is commonly found in Japanese cars, particularly in Toyota vehicles. This system is called the Electronic Throttle Control System and has three modes: normal, sport, and snow mode.

What does MT mean in manual transmission?

MT is the abbreviation for manual transmission. MT is also known as a mechanical transmission, which requires the driver to manually shift the gear lever (commonly known as the "gear stick") to change the gear meshing position inside the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The advantages and disadvantages of manual transmission are as follows: Advantages: 1. Faster response during acceleration and overtaking (for skilled drivers); 2. High transmission efficiency; 3. Simple structure, easy to repair. Disadvantages: 1. Relatively complex operation (requires perfect coordination between the clutch and gear lever); 2. Higher driving skill requirements (improper operation can easily lead to gear dragging or stalling).

What is the trunk capacity of the Civic?

The trunk capacity of the Civic is 440L. Function of the trunk: The car trunk serves as a storage compartment for miscellaneous items in the vehicle. A trunk mat can effectively protect the car trunk, preventing dirt or liquids from entering and eroding the trunk surface, and also prevents items inside the trunk from sliding. Precautions: Before each drive, the owner should check whether the trunk door lock is securely engaged. A lock that is not fully engaged may cause the trunk to open suddenly, posing a potential safety hazard during driving. Do not drive with the trunk lid partially or fully open, as exhaust fumes may enter the car interior, creating a risk of poisoning.
