Here are the specific reasons why the driver's door may not lock: Key malfunction: If you are using a remote key to lock the door, it is likely that the remote lock is malfunctioning or factors such as aging of the car's remote transmitter antenna are causing the remote key to not work. In this case, you can use the spare mechanical key to lock the door. Magnetic interference: If there is strong magnetic signal interference around the car, the smart key, which uses low-intensity radio waves, may not function properly under such conditions. Door jammer: If the car frequently fails to lock remotely in a certain location, you should be wary of a door jammer. Some criminals use a radio signal blocker that can emit electromagnetic waves at the same frequency as the car's locking signal, thereby blocking the electronic code of the car's central locking system and temporarily disabling it.

Hold the steering wheel with your left hand near the 9 o'clock position and your right hand near the 3 o'clock position.

How to Deal with High Fuel Tank Pressure?

When the fuel tank pressure is too high, it is necessary to promptly clean the fuel system or replace the filter. Fuel tank cleaning is divided into two steps: internal and external. Check the fuel tank, fuel lines, and joints for any dents or oil leaks. Remember to check if the fuel tank bracket mounting screws are tightened. Open the fuel tank cap, remove the filter screen barrel, and siphon out the fuel, leaving only about 30L of gasoline in the tank. Use a plastic tube to gently agitate the gasoline at the bottom of the fuel tank. During cleaning, you can use a clean cloth to block the fuel filler pipe opening and continuously change the position and direction of the plastic tube.

How to Adjust if the Car Body is Not Straight?

If parking, when there are no other cars nearby, observe through the rearview mirror whether the rear of the car body is parallel to the road edge or the parking line. When parking, if the front part of the car is perpendicular to the road edge, it indicates the car body is straight; otherwise, you need to re-park. Learn to use the rearview mirror and make corrections via the steering wheel, adjusting according to the principle of 'steering towards the wider side'.

What to Do When a Secured Vehicle is Repossessed?

The simplest approach is to first report the incident to the police, allowing the public security authorities to file a case for investigation and handling. It is advisable to contact the seller initially and attempt to resolve the issue through negotiation. Generally, you may request the seller to bear the liability for breach of contract and compensate for the losses. For buyers who knowingly purchase a mortgaged vehicle despite being aware of its mortgage status, the relevant civil law provisions may not apply. Typically, properties with unclear or disputed ownership or usage rights, including land ownership, cannot be mortgaged.
