Angle and environmental interference could be the reasons. Here is relevant information: 1. Working principle: Simply put, the key emits a weak radio wave, which is received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit then identifies the signal code, and the system's actuator (motor or electromagnetic coil) performs the locking/unlocking action. 2. Coil induction working method: This mainly involves placing an encrypted chip inside the key. During the unlocking process, the car's radio frequency transceiver verifies whether the key matches to determine if the engine can be started. This method is primarily used in special situations where the key's battery is dead, allowing the car to start normally.

Will a Phone Get Damaged If Left in a Hot Car?

Leaving a phone in a car during summer may cause it to explode. Here are the details: 1. Exposing the phone to sunlight: If the phone is exposed to direct sunlight at high temperatures, it may explode. The phone contains a battery, and prolonged exposure to sunlight can lead to an explosion. Even if it doesn't explode, it can cause significant damage to the battery. Place the phone in a shaded area to avoid direct sunlight. If the phone overheats, you can place it near the air conditioning vent to cool it down quickly and prevent battery damage. 2. Items to avoid leaving in the car during summer: Lighters: Small and easy to forget, yet highly dangerous. They contain liquid butane, and exposure to sunlight increases internal pressure, leading to explosions. Bottled water: Stored in a sun-exposed car for a certain period, it can release harmful substances. Continued consumption may not quench thirst but can harm health and cause discomfort. Glasses: Especially reading glasses, as their convex lenses can focus light, potentially causing a fire. Perfume (in glass bottles): Perfume evaporation produces flammable gases, with a critical packaging point of 49 degrees. Tests show that in an unshaded car at noon in summer, temperatures can reach 65 degrees in 15 minutes, easily causing an explosion. Electronic devices: Phones exposed to sunlight may develop mechanical issues, and chargers can explode if overheated from prolonged exposure.

What Does the Temperature Display on the Car Indicate?

The temperature displayed on the car refers to the coolant temperature. This gauge is called the water temperature gauge, and its unit is Celsius. The car engine's coolant uses a specialized cooling liquid. More information about car gauges is as follows: 1. Speedometer: The speedometer is positioned in the most prominent place on the dashboard, indicating the car's current speed in km/h, as well as the total mileage and trip mileage in km. The total mileage cannot be altered, while the trip mileage can be reset as needed. 2. Tachometer: The engine tachometer indicates the current engine speed in rpm (revolutions per minute). 3. Oil Pressure Gauge: This gauge indicates the oil pressure in the main oil passage of the engine lubrication system while the engine is running. 4. Fuel Gauge: This gauge displays the amount of fuel in the tank in liters (L). The pointer pointing to "F" indicates a full tank, while pointing to "E" indicates an empty tank. Some gauges use 1/1, 1/2, and 0 to represent a full tank, half a tank, and an empty tank, respectively.

What Causes the Handbrake to Not Release?

The handbrake may not release after being pulled up possibly due to being pulled too high. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Specific reasons: Like the foot brake, the handbrake has a certain travel distance. Generally, pulling the handbrake to about 70% of its full travel is sufficient for normal braking. If the handbrake is always pulled to its limit, it can cause the handbrake cable to lose elasticity, and over time, the return spring may lose its ability to return to position. 2. Solution technique: You can use a bit of finesse. Before releasing the handbrake, hold it, slightly lift it up first, then press the button and lower the handbrake to a stable position. This method usually solves the problem.
