Through Bluetooth signal transmission, pressing the designated button on the finder will cause the receiver to emit a beeping sound, which is clearly audible within a certain range. Nowadays, cars generally come with two keys for the owner: one primary key and one spare key. The 4S shop queries the anti-theft password for configuring the key from the database. After obtaining the password, the 4S shop requires the owner to provide the key's tooth shape number to configure a new metal key.

That day I was so anxious when I lost my keys that I searched all my pockets and usual spots frantically. Turned out my dog had taken them to its bed! If you really can't find them at home, don't panic—use the spare key as an emergency solution. Nowadays many cars can be unlocked via mobile apps, so try that immediately. If all else fails, contact the dealership to get a replacement key; remember to bring your vehicle license and ID, though it may cost over a thousand yuan. Oh, and newer car smart keys can be located via apps—check the last used location. I've gotten into the habit of attaching a key finder to my keychain; just press a button and it beeps, super convenient. Before heading out, I also leave a spare key with a friend for double security and peace of mind.

What Are the Effects of Hitting the Car Chassis?

The impact of hitting the car chassis depends on the severity of the collision: 1. Minor collisions usually have little effect; 2. If the exhaust pipe or catalytic converter under the chassis is hit, it may cause the vehicle's exhaust system to malfunction; 3. If the vehicle's suspension is deformed due to impact, it can lead to issues with wheel alignment, causing the vehicle to pull to one side or produce abnormal noises. The car chassis primarily serves a load-bearing function and consists of components such as the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system. The thickness of its plastic sealing material can reach 1.5 to 2.5 millimeters, protecting the car chassis when scraped by road protrusions.

How to Solve the Engine Malfunction Light in the Envision?

If the engine malfunction light is on in your Envision, you can follow these steps to address the issue: First, check if the engine is running normally and whether there are issues such as shaking or emitting black smoke. If these problems exist, avoid starting the engine again. It is particularly important to note that you must not start the engine if the red light is on. If the engine can be started, turn it off and wait for 5-10 minutes. Then, without pressing the brake, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the 'on' position without depressing the clutch. The vehicle will perform a self-check after powering on. Wait for 5-10 seconds and observe whether the malfunction light on the dashboard turns off. If the malfunction light remains on, visit a service center as soon as possible to identify the cause. The service center can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault codes, obtain fault information, and perform targeted repairs. The engine malfunction light resembles a water tap icon and comes in two colors: yellow and red. A yellow light indicates a warning, while a red light signifies a prohibition. When the yellow malfunction light is on, it means certain system parameters in the vehicle may have exceeded the set range. The vehicle can still be driven, but some functions may be limited. When the red malfunction light is on, the vehicle must be stopped immediately, the engine turned off, and driving must not continue until the fault is checked. Common causes for the engine malfunction light to turn on include: sensor failure, fuel quality issues, poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture, turbocharging problems, intake issues, exhaust problems, and anti-theft system malfunctions.
