There may be several reasons why the driver's door is unlocked but cannot be opened: 1. Water in the door handle sensing area: The vehicle door handle uses a capacitive sensor, and the capacitive noise generated by water interferes with the capacitive detection of the door handle antenna, causing the antenna to enter a self-protection mode, reducing the sensitivity of unlocking and locking, and in severe cases, temporarily disabling the unlocking and locking function. 2. Snow and ice weather: Heavy snow, water, or ice attached to the door handle unlocking area during snow and ice weather can reduce the sensitivity of unlocking and locking. 3. Continuous impact of raindrops on the door handle during rain: Under the impact of rain, the capacitive sensor of the door handle continuously detects changes in capacitance. To avoid false triggering, the door handle antenna enters a rain mode, where the locking sensing time is extended, and the sensitivity of unlocking and locking is reduced. 4. Electromagnetic interference or shielding: Radio communication can be affected by co-channel interference and shielding effects. If an interference source is present, it can disrupt the normal communication between the remote key and the antenna. 5. Obstruction of the sensing area: Installing decorative devices on the door handle, having an overly small opening in the sensing area, or excessively thick decorative parts can prevent the finger from fully covering the sensing area, leading to the failure of the unlocking and locking function.

How to Repair Leakage Caused by Aging Sunroof Seals?

When the sunroof seals age and cause leakage, they need to be replaced. Remove both the front and rear sunroof glass panels, then adhere the new seals along the perimeter edges of the vehicle. Detailed causes and solutions for sunroof leakage are as follows: 1. Abnormal sealing strips: The sealing strips are primarily responsible for preventing water from entering the sunroof. If the seals age and allow excessive rainwater into the sunroof, beyond what the drainage tubes can handle, it will leak into the cabin. Check the sealing strips for damage by pinching them to see if they show signs of aging. Solution: Have them replaced at a repair shop. 2. Gaps in the sunroof frame: When there are gaps in the frame, leakage during rain can be severe, even causing water to drip inside the cabin. Solution: Apply sealant or replace the entire frame or sunroof.

How many days of repair at a 4S shop require the provision of a replacement vehicle?

4S shops are required to provide a replacement vehicle if the repair takes more than 7 days. The following are the car maintenance and repair items: 1. Air filter: The engine inhales a large amount of air during operation. If the air is not filtered, the dust in it will accelerate the wear of the piston group and cylinder. Larger particles entering between the piston and cylinder can also cause severe "cylinder scoring." The function of the air filter is to remove dust and particles from the air, ensuring that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinder. 2. Gasoline filter: The function of the gasoline filter is to provide clean fuel to the engine, filtering out water and impurities in the gasoline. This optimizes engine performance and provides the best protection for the engine.

What is the difference between high gear and low gear in a car?

The difference between high gear and low gear in a car is essentially the principle of a large gear driving a small gear versus a small gear driving a large gear. First gear has slow rotation speed but high torque, making it suitable for climbing slopes and hauling heavy loads, which typically require low gears. On the other hand, fifth gear has low torque but high speed, making it ideal for highway driving. Specific details are as follows: 1. Speed ranges corresponding to manual transmission gears 1 to 5: Start in first gear, and when the speed reaches 15 km/h, shift to second gear; when the speed reaches 25 km/h, shift to third gear; when the speed reaches 35 km/h, shift to fourth gear; when the speed reaches 45 km/h, shift to fifth gear. 2. Gear shifting operation: Depress the clutch pedal, quickly release the accelerator, shift to the corresponding gear, and match the accelerator accordingly, or do not press the accelerator, quickly lift the clutch pedal to the semi-engaged state, and gently release the clutch pedal when the clutch is engaged.

Is It Critical to Skip Wheel Balancing After Tire Repair?

Wheel balancing is necessary after tire repair. Below are relevant details about wheel balancing: Steering wheel vibration: This can be felt while driving, with the most noticeable symptom being rhythmic wheel hopping, which translates into steering wheel vibration inside the vehicle. When encountering steering wheel vibration, check wheel balancing first. Bearing lifespan reduction: It also affects bearing longevity, potentially causing bearing fatigue over time. In cases of severe imbalance, tires may experience abnormal lateral sway leading to uneven wear, ultimately impacting tire lifespan. In summary, wheel imbalance negatively affects the vehicle itself.

Where does GAC Trumpchi's engine technology come from?

GAC Trumpchi is a mid-range car brand independently developed by China based on Fiat's technology platform. The Trumpchi engine technology originates from the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo, with some technological modifications made by GAC. It features a dual variable valve timing system for both intake and exhaust, with a maximum power of 108kW and a maximum torque of 187Nm. Relevant information about car engines is as follows: 1. Introduction: The car engine is the device that provides power to the car, serving as the heart of the vehicle. It determines the car's power, fuel economy, stability, and environmental friendliness. Common gasoline and diesel engines are both types of reciprocating piston internal combustion engines. 2. Classification: Depending on the power source, car engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid types, among others.

Can a 1.5L car go to Tibet?

1.5L naturally aspirated sedans can drive to Tibet by themselves. However, driving on the Sichuan-Tibet line is different from regular self-driving trips. No matter what kind of car it is, you must make some corresponding preparations before departure, mainly in the following aspects: 1. Tires: The roads in Tibet are basically paved with asphalt, and the road conditions are very good. However, due to climate and geological reasons, there are still some gravel roads and dirt roads. These road conditions are quite harsh on highway tires, causing significant wear. Therefore, before departure, check the tread depth of the tires. If the tread is too shallow, it is recommended to replace them with new tires to avoid accidents on the way. 2. Braking system: On the way to Tibet, there will be many uphill and downhill roads, and there will also be relatively steep sections, so the brakes will be used frequently. Before departure, it is recommended to check the thickness of the brake pads. 3. Engine: Due to the low oxygen content at high altitudes, the engine's air intake is reduced, and the engine's power efficiency can only reach about 60% of that in plain areas. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the engine is in good condition, such as replacing the engine oil, cleaning carbon deposits, replacing the coolant and aging water pipes to avoid breakdowns on the way.
