Reasons for the continuous alarm sound when opening the door of the Trumpchi GS4: 1. The alarm is too sensitive. 2. The door has touched a faulty switch. 3. If it is not the above two reasons, it is most likely caused by the excessively high sensitivity of the anti-theft sensor. The following is an introduction to the Trumpchi GS4: 1. Body dimensions: The length, width, and height of the GAC Trumpchi GS4 are 4510mm, 1852mm, and 1708mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2650mm. 2. Powertrain: The 1.3T engine has a maximum power of 101kW (137Ps) and a peak torque of 202N·m; the 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 112kW (152Ps) and a peak torque of 235N·m.

I recently encountered the same issue with my Trumpchi GS4 - the alarm keeps beeping nonstop when the door is opened, which is driving me crazy. It could be that the door isn't closed properly or there's an issue with the door lock sensor. Sometimes the sensors on Trumpchi vehicles tend to accumulate dust or age, making them overly sensitive. Another possibility is that the car key isn't in the detection zone, and the system is reminding you not to forget the key. But if it keeps beeping continuously, it's time to check. In my case, I solved it by firmly closing the door again and the sound stopped. If that doesn't work, check if the door hinges are loose or visit a 4S shop to have them inspect the circuit. This issue concerns driving safety - if the alarm malfunctions, it can cause distraction and accidents. Make it a habit to regularly check door gaps when parking and ensure no debris is stuck, as developing this habit can prevent many troubles.

As a GAC GS4 owner for three years, I've found that continuous door alarm beeping usually has a few simple causes. First, the door may not be fully closed - just give it a firm push. Second, the door lock sensor could be faulty or dirty - this model's sensors are prone to false alarms in long-term sandy/dusty environments. Third, electrical issues like blown fuses or low battery voltage can cause system confusion. When this happens, first check if doors are properly shut, then inspect the battery under the hood if needed, or visit a professional repair shop for sensor module diagnostics. Important reminder: don't ignore this seemingly minor issue, as prolonged problems may damage the electronic control system. Regular maintenance like cleaning door lock components every six months prevents corrosion and avoids bigger issues.

I encountered this issue when picking up my kids with the Trumpchi GS4. The door alarm was so loud that it made my children cover their ears, which raised safety concerns for me. The main reasons are usually the door not being properly closed or incorrect child lock settings—perhaps Trumpchi's design is overly sensitive. It could also be a problem with the door frame sensor, where dust or wear causes false alarms. My usual approach is to first check if the door is securely locked, then inspect the key sensing area. If that doesn’t work, I simply restart the vehicle’s system, which often resolves the issue. Parents should address this promptly, as continuous alarm sounds can attract curious kids to fiddle with the car door, creating potential hazards.

I have some knowledge about automotive electronics. The frequent door alarm beeping on the Trumpchi GS4 is quite common, mostly caused by door control sensors or circuit short circuits. Specifically, the micro switches used by Trumpchi are prone to moisture or aging, causing continuous beeping when the alarm signal isn't cut off. Additionally, a faulty key sensing module could be the root cause. I recommend checking if the small sensor on the door edge is stuck or using a multimeter to test circuit continuity. If that doesn't work, have the parts replaced at a shop to avoid bigger issues. This also affects the telematics functions, so regular cleaning of the sensor slots is advised to reduce false alarms.

Is it necessary to apply for ETC?

It is necessary to install ETC. According to the State Council's regulations, vehicles without ETC will not enjoy toll discounts starting from 2020, and in the future, only one manual lane will be retained at highway toll stations, requiring manual payment. Additionally, newly installed ETC devices cannot be used on highways immediately; they need to be activated first. During free holiday periods, ETC users can still pass through highways without being charged when using ETC lanes. ETC Charging Principle: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Through microwave short-range communication between the vehicle's electronic tag (installed on the windshield) and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane, combined with computer networking technology for backend bank settlements, vehicles can pass through toll stations without stopping to pay road or bridge fees. This operates on a "pass first, deduct later" principle. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues. Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by reducing noise and exhaust emissions since vehicles don’t need to stop at toll booths. Cost and wear reduction: Saves money by minimizing frequent starts and brakes, reducing vehicle wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees. Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic flow efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council explicitly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, key city clusters should achieve interoperability of transportation smart cards, with a significant increase in ETC adoption rates." It also set a target of "50% ETC usage rate for passenger vehicles by 2020" in the main indicators for comprehensive transportation development. Future possibilities: Beyond improving ETC installation convenience and passenger vehicle adoption rates, future efforts will promote ETC use for trucks and explore deeper integration of ETC systems with vehicle-to-vehicle communication, vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, and smart transportation developments. This will provide comprehensive travel services for car owners, meaning more application scenarios will support ETC usage.

What is CVVL technology and its principle?

CVVL stands for Continuous Variable Valve Lift technology, which is considered a high-precision and cutting-edge technology in the industry. CVVL technology offers numerous practical benefits to consumers, with the primary advantage being reduced fuel consumption. Below is the principle of variable valve lift technology: 1. In traditional engines, the valve lift of conventional valve train mechanisms is fixed, whereas the operating conditions of the engine require different valve lifts. High-speed, high-load conditions demand a large valve lift and long duration, while low-speed, low-load conditions require a small valve lift and short duration. However, traditional valve train mechanisms can only optimize the engine for a specific operating condition and cannot meet all conditions. CVVL technology can adjust the valve lift, enabling the engine to meet the required valve lift in both high-speed and low-speed ranges, thereby improving high-speed power and low-speed torque. 2. The CVVL mechanism controls the lift via an eccentric shaft, an adjusting arm, and a connecting arm. First, the CVVL controller precisely controls the CVVL motor through a program. The CVVL motor drives the eccentric shaft to rotate via a worm gear and worm mechanism. When the eccentric shaft rotates clockwise, the adjusting arm pushes the intermediate rocker arm to move leftward, reducing the lift. Conversely, when the eccentric shaft rotates counterclockwise, the adjusting arm pushes the intermediate rocker arm to move rightward, increasing the lift.

How to Deal with Insufficient Tire Pressure?

Solutions for insufficient tire pressure: 1. Visually inspect whether the tire can continue to drive. If it can, go to the nearest tire repair shop to inflate the tire pressure. 2. If it cannot drive, park the car and call for rescue to wait for help. Hazards of low tire pressure: 1. The friction coefficient with the road surface will increase, leading to higher fuel consumption. 2. It causes unfavorable factors for driving safety, such as a heavy steering wheel and easy deviation. 3. It increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling. 4. It reduces the function of the cord and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear. 5. The friction between the tire and the ground increases exponentially, the tire temperature rises sharply, the tire becomes soft, and the strength drops sharply. High-speed driving may cause a tire blowout. 6. Low tire pressure will increase the deformation of the tire body, easily causing cracks on the tire side, and generate flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, cord breakage, and also increasing the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.

From which year did China National V vehicles start?

China National V emission standard vehicles started production in 2012, and the fifth stage national motor vehicle emission standard was implemented nationwide from January 1, 2017. The emission control level of China National V standard is equivalent to the European Euro 5 emission standard currently in force. Below is an introduction to China National V: 1. China National V vehicles refer to those that comply with the 'National Fifth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard'. The motor vehicle pollutant emission standard was established to implement environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent vehicle exhaust pollution to the environment, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health. 2. The European Union has been implementing this standard since 2009, which imposes stricter limits on motor vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and suspended particles. From China National I to China National IV, each upgrade in the standard reduces single-vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. 3. Shortly after the implementation of China National V standard, China National VI standard was quickly put on the agenda. Many regions implemented China National VI standard ahead of schedule. Taking Guangdong Province as an example, from July 1, 2019, newly registered vehicles in Guangdong must comply with China National VI emission standard. At that time, only China National VI standard new vehicles were available on the market, and vehicles transferred from other regions must also meet the China National VI standard.

Will there be any consequences if I abandon my impounded car?

The impacts of abandoning an impounded car are detailed as follows: 1. How to handle an impounded car you don't want: There will be issues, and it is recommended to actively address the relevant traffic violations. Failure to handle traffic violations on time will most directly result in late fees. 2. Consequences of abandoning an impounded car: If the impounded vehicle is not dealt with, it will also lead to a ban on all driver's license services, meaning the license cannot be renewed, and after one year of expiration, the driver's license will be revoked. 3. Consequences of not handling traffic violations on time: The most direct consequence of not handling traffic violations on time is the imposition of late fees. Generally, late fees start to accrue from the 16th day after the violation. The late fee is 3% of the fine per day, with a cap not exceeding the original fine. For example, for a 200 yuan fine, the late fee will not exceed 200 yuan. If you continue to accumulate violations without handling the previous ones, once checked by traffic police, you may face the suspension of your driver's license or even the impoundment of your vehicle. Another important point is that if the vehicle is involved in an accident or suffers damage, and there are outstanding violations, the insurance company may have grounds to refuse compensation.

How to Solve Fogging on the Outside of Car Windows on Rainy Days?

Fogging on the rear window after rain can be addressed using the following methods: 1. Air Conditioning Cooling for Defogging: The main causes of window fogging are low temperature and high humidity. Using the air conditioning cooling function can remove fog from the front windshield. However, if the humidity inside the car is too high, the effect may not be very noticeable. In such cases, slightly opening the windows can quickly reduce interior humidity. 2. Window Ventilation for Defogging: Opening the windows allows cold and hot air to circulate. If the fogging is not severe, slightly opening the side windows can create air convection inside the car, gradually equalizing the interior temperature with the outside temperature and dispersing the fog. The advantage is that it achieves the same effect as using the air conditioning without increasing fuel consumption. During extreme cold or rainy conditions, intermittently opening and closing the windows is recommended. This method is not suitable for severe fogging. 3. Anti-Fog Spray: Applying glass anti-fog spray forms a transparent hydrophobic ion film on the glass surface, preventing water droplets and fog from condensing. 4. Anti-Fog Cloth: When fogging occurs, wiping the windows with an anti-fog cloth can prevent further fogging, achieving the same effect as anti-fog spray. 5. Detergent-Based Anti-Fog Solutions: Mixing dish soap with water in a ratio of approximately 1:10 and applying it to the inside of the front and rear windshields with a cotton swab or soft cloth can prevent fogging. Alternatively, mixing household shampoo or body wash with water in a similar ratio and spraying it on the windows before driving can also prevent fogging.
