BMW rear door cannot be opened because the child safety lock is engaged. When the central door lock is activated, you can open the door by using the switch on the outside of the door. Child Safety Lock: This feature is designed for the rear doors of the vehicle to prevent the danger of opening the door from inside while the vehicle is in motion. When this feature is active, even if the electronic central door lock is unlocked, the door remains locked. To open the rear door, you must use the switch on the outside of the door while the central door lock is activated. Function of the Safety Lock: The car child safety lock, also known as the door lock child safety mechanism, is located on the rear door lock. When you open the rear door, there is a small lever (safety mechanism) below the lock. Move the lever toward the end with the child icon, then close the door. At this point, the door cannot be opened from the inside, but can only be opened from the outside. Its purpose is to prevent active and unaware children from opening the door while the car is moving, thereby avoiding danger. In this case, the door can only be opened from the outside by an adult after the car has stopped.

What Causes Steering Wheel Vibration in BMW 3 Series?

BMW 3 Series steering wheel vibration may be caused by the following reasons: Poor tire dynamic balance: During driving, if a tire experiences a strong local impact, it may cause the balance weights to fall off or become damaged, thereby affecting the tire's dynamic balance. When driving at high speeds, the vehicle body and steering wheel will exhibit noticeable vibration, which becomes more pronounced as the speed increases. Significant differences in tire pressure among the four tires: When there is a large difference in tire pressure among the four tires, especially between the left and right tires, the vehicle body will experience noticeable bumps and the steering wheel will vibrate significantly during high-speed driving. Poor four-wheel alignment: When the four-wheel alignment has significant deviation angles, the vehicle body may drift and vibrate during high-speed driving. Additionally, this can lead to uneven tire wear, accelerating tire deterioration and shortening their lifespan.

What are the reasons for the Mercedes-Benz S600 air conditioning not cooling?

Mercedes-Benz S600 air conditioning not cooling reasons are as follows: Insufficient or too little refrigerant: A common reason for car air conditioning not cooling is insufficient or too little refrigerant, which may be caused by minor leaks, requiring a refrigerant refill. Excessive refrigerant: Too much refrigerant can also cause the air conditioning not to cool. There is a required proportion of refrigerant volume in the air conditioning system. If the proportion is too high, it can affect heat dissipation. You can slowly release some refrigerant from the low-pressure side maintenance port. Loose drive belt: If the drive belt is loose, the compressor may slip during operation, leading to reduced transmission efficiency, lower compressor speed, decreased refrigerant compression delivery, and consequently, the car air conditioning not cooling. If the compressor drive belt is too loose, it should be tightened.
