What to Do When the Car Central Lock Won't Open?

There are several situations when the car central lock won't open: 1. If you are using the remote to open the door, the remote battery may be dead, or there may be strong signal interference nearby. The remote key usually contains a hidden mechanical key—use it instead. 2. If the mechanical key cannot open the car door, the car central lock system may be in an electronic lock state, or the door lock cylinder may be stuck due to prolonged use and cannot be turned. For the first scenario, wait for one or two hours until the lock is released and then try unlocking again. For the second scenario, you may have to resort to forceful measures, such as breaking the window to open the door, or contact a 4S shop for repairs.

How to Set the Locking Horn for the New Bora?

The locking sound prompt is a feature that is turned off by default in Volkswagen factory settings. To enable it, you need to use a maintenance computer to access the central electrical system and modify the coding of the body control unit. Here is some information about the horn: 1. The horn is the audio signal device of a car. During driving, the driver can emit necessary audio signals as needed and required, to warn pedestrians and alert other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety. It is also used for urging movement and transmitting signals. 2. Working principle: When the horn button on the steering wheel or other locations is pressed, current from the battery flows through the circuit to the electromagnetic coil of the horn relay. The electromagnetic coil attracts the moving contact switch of the relay to close, allowing current to flow to the horn. The current causes the electromagnet inside the horn to work, thus making the diaphragm vibrate and produce sound.

Under What Circumstances Should a Car Undergo Wheel Alignment?

Introduction to situations requiring wheel alignment for a car: 1. If four new tires are replaced due to severe abnormal wear of the old tires, this will affect the wheel alignment data, necessitating a wheel alignment. 2. The main parameters adjusted during wheel alignment include caster, camber, toe, and kingpin inclination. Adjusting the caster primarily maintains straight-line stability and ensures the steering returns to center; adjusting the kingpin inclination also maintains stability and ensures the steering returns to center; adjusting the camber increases the tire's contact area to counteract adverse effects; adjusting the toe compensates for the adverse effects caused by camber or toe-in. 3. During wheel alignment, the data must be precise. If there are issues with the wheel alignment, the vehicle may experience pulling to one side, affecting balance during turns, acceleration, braking, and suspension load, which can compromise safe driving.
