The air intake of a sedan is generally located in the engine compartment. The safe wading depth is the distance of the vehicle's ground clearance. Below are the relevant details: 1. Exhaust pipe: When water reaches half the height of the wheel, it can basically enter the exhaust pipe, but it will not damage the three-way catalytic converter; therefore, half the height of the wheel is widely recognized as a relatively safe wading depth. 2. Air intake: The air intake of the A4L is located on the support crossbeam under the engine hood, with the opening facing forward and horizontally. The pipe connecting the air intake to the air filter has a certain curvature. Even if water briefly enters the air intake, it will not immediately flow into the air filter. As long as the air filter remains dry, the engine will not stall.

What Causes the Car Lock Light Not to Illuminate?

Reasons why the car lock light does not illuminate: 1. The vehicle has not successfully completed the locking operation. In this case, check whether all four doors, the engine hood, and the trunk are fully closed. Only when they are in the closed state will the anti-theft system complete the locking operation. 2. There is a malfunction in the anti-theft or anti-theft alert system, such as damage to the sensors on the doors, hood, or trunk, or a circuit fault between the anti-theft control computer and the hazard warning lights, resulting in the lock light not illuminating. When the car is locked, the illuminated lock light indicates that the vehicle has entered the anti-theft working state, meaning the anti-theft system is functioning normally. If the lock light does not illuminate when using the key to lock the car, it indicates that the anti-theft system has not entered the working state. Therefore, during daily car usage, it is essential to perform regular maintenance on the vehicle, not only by replacing the fluids but also by checking the condition of the electrical components.
