It is not mandatory to service the car at a 4S store during the warranty period. Here are the specific details about 4S stores: 1. Divided into sales and after-sales parts: 4S stores can be divided into sales and after-sales parts, with sales further categorized into new car sales, used car sales, large customer sales, beauty and accessory sales, etc. After-sales services include routine maintenance, insurance claim settlements, manufacturer warranty claims, and car insurance sales. 2. As brand dealers: As authorized dealers of car brands, 4S stores must comply with the automaker's requirements, including unified store design, standardized management, consistent service standards, unified car brand culture, and uniform marketing campaign themes. Car brand manufacturers also assess the operational conditions of 4S stores, as they represent the brand's culture and value, serving as the direct channel for customers to engage with the car brand.

Why has the car lock sound become quieter?

You can check the central console settings for feedback on the lock to see if the setting is turned on or muted. Another possible reason is that "one of the doors is not fully closed." Below is some relevant information: Automatic door locking while driving: Automatic door locking while driving, also known as speed-sensing automatic locking, is an electronic device that automatically presses the lock button on the door when the vehicle reaches a preset speed to prevent accidental opening of the door. When the vehicle reaches a set speed, the door locks automatically engage, with the set speed typically determined by the manufacturer, usually between 10-20 km/h. Function: When the vehicle reaches the preset speed, the lock button automatically engages to prevent accidental door opening. This is the most common method of automatic door locking while driving used in many car models (such as Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, etc.). There are other methods of automatic door locking while driving. For example, when the transmission is shifted into D (Drive) gear, the lock button automatically engages to prevent accidental door opening. Some models from Chevrolet and Buick use this method of automatic locking.
