Here are the main causes and solutions for this issue: 1. The central locking control unit detects that the vehicle doors and trunk are already in the closed state, but one of the doors is still transmitting a signal to unlock, meaning the door handle remains in the open position. The control unit receives this incorrect signal, which affects driving safety, and thus displays a warning on the instrument cluster. First, it is necessary to check whether the doors, trunk, and front hood are properly closed. If everything appears normal, the issue is usually caused by a stuck door handle. Since this is a mechanical fault, the vehicle can be taken to a repair facility for inspection and repair. 2. A component within the central locking system has malfunctioned, such as a door lock or switch in the electrical system. Drive the vehicle to a repair facility and use specialized diagnostic equipment to conduct a comprehensive system check to further identify the exact fault point.

I've been driving this Audi A6L for several years, and the central locking system occasionally malfunctions, which is quite annoying. Common causes of failure, I think, might be that the car key's battery is almost dead, unable to send signals, resulting in no response when locking the door; or the door lock actuator is broken, with the small motor inside worn out from prolonged use, making clicking noises when opening or closing the door; wiring issues are also common, such as aging or frayed wires inside the door, causing short circuits or open circuits; problems with the control module are quite frequent too—Audi's electronic system is complex, and the module can fail due to overheating or prolonged use; and there's external interference, like when there's a strong magnetic field nearby, the lock becomes less responsive. These issues are not just inconvenient but can also affect safety. It's recommended to try the spare key first when such problems arise, and if that doesn't work, just drive straight to the 4S shop. Let them use the diagnostic computer to read the codes and troubleshoot, saving yourself the hassle and time of trying to figure it out on your own.

'Subject 2 application in progress' indicates that the reservation has not been successfully completed yet and is still being processed, requiring patience. If it remains in the processing status for an extended period, it might mean the reservation was unsuccessful, possibly due to high demand in some areas.

It is the abbreviation for the field driving skills test, which includes the following items: Reverse parking into a garage: Start from the right side, reverse into the garage, then move to the left side and reverse into the garage again before returning to the starting point. No stopping is allowed during the process. Parallel parking: Drive the vehicle to a position parallel to the garage in front, then reverse into the garage to the right rear without any pauses. Right-angle turn: Do not cross the line, complete it in one go without stopping. Hill start and stop: The examinee must drive to the hill start test point, with the front wheels stopping exactly on the line. After passing this, the examinee must perform a hill start without rolling backward. Any mistake will result in point deductions or failure. Curve driving: This involves driving through a lane with two turns greater than 40 degrees in one go without stopping, crossing the line, or going out of bounds. The full score is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, deductions of 20, 10, or 5 points. A score of 80 or above is required to pass.

Can I take the Subject 4 exam without my ID?

You cannot take the Subject 4 exam without your ID. Here are the specific requirements for the Subject 4 exam: Regulations: Items required for the Subject 4 exam include an ID card, student card, exam records, etc. Some locations may also require a photo for the driver's license. Typically, if the driving school schedules the Subject 4 exam on your behalf, you only need to bring your ID card. Before the driving school organizes a group trip to the vehicle management office for the exam, they will provide the student card and records to the student. Important Notes: It is essential to understand that the ID card, student card, and records are indispensable materials. Missing any one of these will prevent you from taking the Subject 4 exam. Some people schedule the Subject 4 exam online themselves, but due to restrictions on the driving school retrieving records from the vehicle management office, they may not receive the records and thus cannot take the exam. Therefore, if you plan to schedule the exam yourself, you should first communicate with the driving school to see if the records can be retrieved.
