When the car's anti-theft system is triggered, a key symbol will appear on the dashboard. Modern car keys are no longer just mechanical keys; they are a key system integrating circuits, networks, and mechanical components. When the signal from the key does not match the car's password, the car system will recognize it as an illegal entry, and the anti-theft system will automatically lock the engine, preventing the vehicle from starting. Relevant information about the car dashboard is as follows: 1. Introduction: The instrument panel, or instrument-panel, is a rigid flat plate or structural component used to install instruments and related devices. It can be classified by type into screen-type, frame-type, passage-type, and cabinet-type instrument panels. 2. Function: The instrument panel can be equipped with external lighting and may also include a control console. It comes in various forms and specifications, allowing for the installation of different instruments as needed, or the combination of various instrument panels into a single unit.

Why does the car make a buzzing sound when turning?

The reasons for the buzzing sound when the car is turning: 1. Insufficient lubrication in the steering column, leading to high friction; 2. Check if the power steering fluid is low; 3. Inspect if there is an issue with the universal joint; 4. The rubber bushings of the suspension stabilizer bar links may have aged and hardened; 5. The wheel bearing may be damaged. Correct methods for steering: 1. After the vehicle comes to a stop, return the steering wheel to the center position to avoid putting stress on the suspension system and tires; 2. When making a U-turn, try to avoid turning the steering wheel to the extreme position; 3. Avoid turning the steering wheel while the vehicle is stationary; try to steer only after the vehicle starts moving. Turning the steering wheel while stationary should only be used occasionally in special circumstances, such as when maneuvering out of a tight spot.

Definition of Stock Cars?

Generally refers to cars that have been in stock for more than a year without being sold. Below are relevant details: 1. Check the Vehicle Identification Plate: Every car has its own "ID card," which is what we call the vehicle identification plate. The plate contains various information, including the engine model, engine displacement, and the production date of the car. The vehicle identification plate is usually located on one side of the engine, sometimes hidden. Some plates are found on the left side when the right car door is opened. Additionally, for vans, the plate is typically on the pillar behind the passenger seat. 2. Check the Front Windshield: The corner of the front windshield usually displays the production date of the glass. Unless the glass has been replaced due to damage, this date should not differ significantly from the car's overall production date. 3. Check the VIN: Similarly, below the front windshield, there is a 17-digit VIN code, commonly referred to as the vehicle identification number. It is broadly divided into three parts: the World Manufacturer Identifier (digits 1-3), the Vehicle Descriptor Section (digits 4-9), and the Vehicle Identifier Section (digits 10-17). The most important digit to note is the 10th one, which indicates the production year. If this year is significantly earlier than the current one, the car is likely a long-stocked vehicle. 4. Check the Engine: Normally, the engine compartment should be relatively clean. Upon starting, the engine should run quickly and smoothly without shaking. You shouldn't feel any vibration when touching the engine, and the sound of the engine working should be barely audible from inside the car.
