Audi Q5's alarm sounding after locking the car may be due to doors not being closed tightly, or interference signals from similar alarms of other vehicles. Below is an introduction to the Audi Q5:1. Introduction: It is a dynamic and versatile SUV. With its excellent performance and technical advantages, the Michelin Pilot Preceda PP2 high-performance sports tire has recently become the original equipment tire for the premium mid-size SUV Audi Q5.2. Features: It perfectly combines the body design of a sports car, efficient power and sensitive handling, the off-road safety performance of an SUV, and the excellent comfort and flexible interior space of a station wagon, continuing the advantages of the third-generation top SUV Audi Q7. The powerful green efficient engine, quattro all-wheel drive system, and sensitive driving mechanism make it effortless whether driving on the road or off-road. The application of new technologies such as the 7-speed dual-clutch Stronic transmission and Audi drive select once again interprets Audi's brand concept of 'Vorsprung durch Technik' (Advancement through Technology).

I've specifically researched the issue of the Audi Q5L's alarm going off for no reason after locking. It's mainly related to the overly sensitive anti-theft system. The ultrasonic sensor inside the vehicle is like an overly nervous security guard - a jacket sliding off the seat or a tissue box tipping over on the dashboard can trigger it. Once I saw a shopping bag from a roadside supermarket being blown by the wind against the car door, and the alarm immediately started wailing. Additionally, if there's poor contact in the door lock mechanism, the system might mistakenly think someone is trying to pick the lock. Another common cause is when the trunk isn't properly closed, especially during rainy days when the rubber seals expand and make it easy for the trunk to appear closed when it's not. For this kind of problem, there's no need to rush to the dealership. First, try securing all loose items in the car before locking it. If the alarm still acts up, hold down the alarm switch near the interior dome light for 10 seconds to force mute it, or have the dealership use their computer to lower the sensor sensitivity.

How to Identify Whether It's China VI Standard?

Compared to China V, China VI vehicles are equipped with additional components. Moreover, automobile manufacturers incur extra costs from various tests for vehicle declaration announcements and production, leading to significantly higher prices for China VI vehicles than China V vehicles. For example, if you purchased a China V vehicle and a China VI vehicle in January 2019, although both vehicle licenses may indicate 15 years, there will be practical differences in usage. Let's take an already implemented case as an example. A 2010 China III truck and a 2010 China IV truck may still be allowed to operate in Beijing, but with more cities imposing restrictions, many older vehicles are effectively rendered obsolete. Therefore, even for vehicles of the same year, their operational lifespans can differ.
