Methods to deal with keys locked inside the car: 1. Find the spare key; 2. Contact a locksmith to open the car lock. Before unlocking, the owner needs to provide relevant documents such as the vehicle registration certificate and ID card for verification; 3. Call the 4S store's after-sales rescue hotline; 4. Break the car window glass, preferably choosing the side windows. When using the car, always keep the spare key in a safe place outside the vehicle; remember to take the keys when leaving the car; when purchasing car insurance, understand the relevant theft compensation details to ensure evidence for claims in case of vehicle theft after key loss.

I've encountered this situation twice. Remember not to force the door open as it may damage the paint. The first thing to do is check if there's a spare key at a nearby relative or friend's place. Nowadays, some cars can even be unlocked remotely via mobile apps. If all else fails, call a professional locksmith, but remember to report to 110 and choose a licensed company. Last time I forgot my keys, I hid a spare behind the steering wheel cover - a plastic key card takes up no space and prevents this issue. Remember, smashing the window is the last resort. Replacing a front door window costs around 500-600 RMB, not to mention glass shards could damage the interior.

What are the causes of starter motor spinning without engagement?

The causes of starter motor failure include the following points: 1. Malfunction of the solenoid switch. 2. Broken teeth on the drive pinion or severe wear on the flywheel ring gear. 3. Slippage of the one-way clutch. 4. Damage, misalignment of the starter motor shift fork, or detachment of the linkage hook. 5. Issues with the fit between the armature shaft and armature core inside the starter motor. Here is additional information: 1. Common faults of the solenoid switch generally include open circuit, short circuit, or grounding of the pull-in and hold-in coils, as well as burning of the contact disc and contact surfaces. 2. Check for open circuits or grounding in the coils by measuring resistance with an ohmmeter. If the coils are faulty, rewind or replace them. 3. For minor burning of the contact disc and contact surfaces, they can be repaired with a file or sandpaper. Replace the return spring if it is too weak.

Does Using Air Conditioning Affect the Engine?

Here is an introduction to the impact of using air conditioning on the engine: 1. Insufficient car power: In fact, for such a car cold air conditioning, it may cause insufficient car power, which is something many people believe. However, this conclusion is not applicable to all cars, as they are divided into large-displacement and small-displacement engines. The smaller the displacement, the more applicable this statement is. But for cars with large displacement, the impact of air conditioning on power is minimal. 2. Reduced engine lifespan: Currently, turning on the air conditioning does not cause much harm, at most it consumes a bit more fuel. However, turning off the engine with the air conditioning still on can damage the engine. If the owner turns off the car without turning off the air conditioning, although the air conditioning stops working after the engine is turned off, the next time the car is started, the air conditioning will default to its last used state and work simultaneously with the engine. The load of the air conditioning will be added to the engine, and excessive load on the engine will cause a burden. Over time, this will inevitably reduce the engine's lifespan.

How to Check the Production Date of Goodyear Tires?

Goodyear tire production dates can be found on the sidewall. The production date of a tire is usually indicated by a four-digit number, where the first two digits represent the week of production and the last two digits represent the year. Below is additional information: 1. The shelf life of tires is generally 5 years. When replacing tires, the production date should not exceed 3 years. For example, "3512" means the tire was produced in the 35th week of 2012. 2. Tires are an essential part of a vehicle, consisting of circular rubber products mounted on metal rims. If the production date is unclear, it is advisable not to purchase the tire to avoid buying old stock or retreaded tires. 3.

Do vehicles need to observe traffic lights when making a right turn at an intersection?

Generally, vehicles do not need to observe traffic lights when making a right turn, but the specific situation depends on the traffic signals at the time. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Types of traffic lights: Full circular lights, arrow-shaped lights, and single-direction signals where red and green circular lights apply. When the red light is on, all movements except right turns must stop and wait; when the green light is on, both straight and left turns are permitted. Arrow traffic lights are multi-directional signals, and drivers must follow the indicated direction. 2. Precautions: When making a right turn, stay in the right-turn lane, slow down, watch for pedestrians, and pay attention to surrounding signs. While waiting at a red light, to prevent rear-end collisions, shift to neutral and engage the handbrake to minimize vehicle damage. If the red light is about to turn green in a few seconds, shift to D (Drive) and apply the brakes. In some special road conditions, if the rightmost indicator light lacks a right-turn arrow, drivers should be particularly cautious.
