The automatic jumping of the central locking system is caused by a grounding issue with the power supply or damage to the brake light power line. It is recommended to visit a repair shop to troubleshoot the issue. Detailed explanations are as follows: 1. When the central locking system receives the correct code signal, the control wave receiving circuit is triggered to extend the receiving time by 0.5 seconds before returning to standby mode. If the input code signal does not match, the receiving circuit will not be triggered. 2. If more than 10 incorrect code signals are input within 10 minutes, the system will assume an attempted theft and stop receiving any signals, including correct ones. In such cases, the owner must mechanically unlock the door using the key. 3. Signal reception can be restored by starting the ignition with the key or by turning the main switch of the remote door lock system off and then on again. If the door is not opened within 30 seconds after unlocking it with the remote, it will automatically lock again.

I had the same issue with my previous car where the central locking system kept acting up randomly, and it took me quite a while to figure out the cause. The most troublesome problem was wiring issues, like aging or damaged wire harnesses near the door hinges, which caused short circuits every time I turned. Another time, the driver's side door lock button got wet after a car wash, leading to oxidized contacts and signal interference. A nearly dead remote key battery can also cause erratic behavior, with signals fluctuating between strong and weak. If you've installed an aftermarket anti-theft device, module program conflicts can be particularly disruptive, causing the lock mechanism to click repeatedly. Also, don’t overlook the central control box—my neighbor’s car had swollen capacitors inside, leading to unstable voltage that made the locks go haywire. If you notice these symptoms, address them immediately, especially during rainy days when the motor is prone to burning out. Last time, my repair cost me nearly a thousand bucks.

What does dual-engine car mean?

A dual-engine car is a highly efficient and low-consumption vehicle equipped with both an electric engine and a gasoline engine. Additionally, this type of car employs a special system to capture the energy generated during braking and stores it in the onboard battery. The electric engine consumes no energy when idle, remaining completely shut off, and it uses less energy than the gasoline engine during low-speed driving. The gasoline engine performs better at high speeds, delivering more power for the same engine weight, which means the electric engine is more effective in stop-and-go traffic during peak hours. The advantage of the gasoline engine is that it produces no exhaust emissions, reducing smog pollution levels, and it automatically starts to recharge the battery when the charge is low, eliminating the need for a power cord.

What are the penalties for illegal parking?

Penalties for illegal parking fall into three scenarios: 1. If the motor vehicle driver is present and leaves immediately, no penalty is imposed; 2. If the motor vehicle driver is not present, a fine is issued; 3. If the motor vehicle driver is present but refuses to leave immediately, a fine is issued. Illegal parking refers to vehicles not being parked in designated areas. Illegal parking not only occupies road space meant for vehicle passage but also disrupts traffic safety order, easily causing traffic congestion and reducing vehicle passage efficiency. Upon receiving an illegal parking notice, the vehicle owner must promptly bring their driver's license and vehicle registration certificate to the traffic processing department or the nearest traffic processing center for resolution. Exceeding fifteen working days may result in adverse consequences.

What does it mean when the RVM yellow light is on?

When the RVM yellow light is on, it indicates a malfunction in the Rear Vehicle Monitoring System, and you should visit a repair shop to diagnose and fix the issue promptly. The Rear Vehicle Monitoring System provides warnings when changing lanes if there are vehicles in the blind spot behind. It uses radar sensors installed on the rear bumper to detect vehicles in adjacent lanes and measure the distance to vehicles approaching from behind. When a lane change could pose a danger, the system alerts the driver by flashing indicator lights and sounding an alarm. The Rear Vehicle Monitoring System employs 24GHz millimeter-wave radar, which offers a wide detection range and is less affected by adverse weather conditions or sunlight, ensuring high-precision detection of approaching vehicles even at high speeds.

What are the penalties for not wearing a seat belt while driving?

The penalties for not wearing a seat belt while driving are: 1. When driving on urban expressways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed and 2 points will be deducted; 2. When driving on roads other than highways or urban expressways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed without point deduction; 3. When driving on highways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed and 2 points will be deducted; 4. When a vehicle is traveling on a highway, if a passenger fails to fasten the seat belt as required, a fine will be imposed. The function of a car seat belt is to instantly tighten and secure the loosely worn belt when the vehicle collides or emergency braking is applied, firmly restraining the occupant in the seat to prevent secondary collisions.

What problems can a faulty throttle body cause in a car?

A faulty throttle body can cause the following problems in a car: unstable engine idle speed, persistently high idle speed, difficulty in engine starting, unstable engine idle speed, and no idle speed. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake manifold, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which burns to produce power. It is connected to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, and is referred to as the throat of the car engine. There are two types of throttle bodies: the traditional cable-operated type and the electronic throttle body. In traditional engines, the throttle body operates through a cable or linkage, with one end connected to the accelerator pedal and the other to the throttle linkage plate. The electronic throttle body primarily uses a throttle position sensor to control the throttle opening angle based on the engine's required power, thereby regulating the amount of air intake.

Does picking up the car require the injured party's consent?

Picking up the car does not necessarily require the injured party's consent, depending on two scenarios: 1. If both parties reach an agreement on the accident details, liability division, and compensation, and sign a settlement agreement, the car can be picked up; 2. If both parties cannot reach an agreement, the traffic police should issue an accident liability determination within 10 working days. The car can be picked up on the third day after receiving the determination document, without requiring the injured party's signature. During the accident investigation period, the vehicle must undergo inspections, such as speed, collision marks, and brake functionality, which play a crucial role in determining liability. Article 39 of the Road Traffic Accident Handling Procedures stipulates that for evidence collection purposes, the traffic management department of the public security authority may detain the accident vehicle and issue an administrative compulsory measures certificate. The detained vehicle must be properly stored, and goods carried by the accident vehicle must not be detained.
