Audi A4 child lock is located above the rear door lock mechanisms. Additional information: 1. Use the mechanical key from the remote key to insert into the lock hole, then rotate the key in the direction of the arrow above the lock hole to activate the child lock. Rotate the key in the opposite direction of the arrow to deactivate the child lock function. When the child lock is activated, even if the central door lock is in the open state, the door cannot be opened from inside the vehicle and can only be opened from the outside door handle; 2. There is also a child safety feature at the central window control button on the driver's side door panel. Pressing this button will illuminate the indicator light in the button, deactivating the rear door window switch and preventing rear passengers from controlling the window operation via the rear door switches. When children are seated in the rear, the window lock switch should be pressed promptly.

I remember when I first got my Audi A4, I was particularly concerned about child safety. The child lock is located on the rear doors—yes, both the left and right rear doors—and you need to open the door to find it. Near the door edge, close to the latch, there’s a small switch or knob shaped like a tiny keyhole. Turn it to the locked position, and the door can no longer be opened from the inside—only from the outside. This design is quite thoughtful, perfect for families with kids. I always check it before driving to ensure it’s working properly, like testing whether the door can be opened from the inside when locked. Whether on long trips or picking up the kids, this feature saves a lot of hassle. Just remember to turn it off after getting out, so adults in the back seat won’t be stuck. Safety first—don’t skip the small steps.

As someone who often helps friends with car repairs, I know the Audi A4's child lock is a manual setting. Specifically, it's located on the inner edge of the rear door—just open the door and you'll see it, usually a small black button or knob near the door latch mechanism. Turn it clockwise to the locked position, and the door can only be opened from the outside, preventing children from accidentally opening it, which could be dangerous, such as during sudden braking. Installation and inspection require careful attention to ensure it's fully locked and not stuck halfway. It doesn't consume any electricity, being a purely mechanical system, and is quite reliable. For maintenance, regular cleaning is recommended to prevent dust from jamming it. Enable it while driving and disable it when there are no passengers in the back seat. Simple, practical, and worry-free for safety.

As a new mom, I just learned how to use the child lock on my Audi A4. It's located on the side of the rear doors – you can see a small knob when you open the door, and just twist it to lock. This way, kids can't open the doors from inside, making it much safer. I find the position quite convenient, so I don’t have to worry about my child pressing buttons randomly, giving me peace of mind while driving. Remember to test the function to make sure it works properly. Always check before each use to avoid any accidents.

I'm the type who enjoys delving into car details. The Audi A4's child lock is mechanically designed, primarily for child safety. Its location is on the inner edge of the rear door, near the door handle. Just find a small switch and manually adjust it to the lock position. It's highly practical, preventing accidental door openings. Also, note that this feature doesn't affect other systems, but avoid misoperation to prevent inconvenience. For long-term use, it's advisable to keep it clean to prevent dust from affecting its function. Set it up before driving and release it after getting out, making it convenient for adults to enter and exit.

Will crossing the line at night be captured?

Crossing the line at night will be captured. As long as there are electronic surveillance cameras, driving over the line at any time will result in being photographed and fined. Detour to avoid emergencies: If an accident or natural disaster affects the road ahead, making it impassable for an extended period and forcing vehicles behind to detour by crossing the line, this will not be treated as a traffic violation. Follow the instructions of traffic police: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, when traffic signals are malfunctioning and there are traffic police directing on-site, drivers should follow the instructions of the traffic police. Special vehicles performing tasks: If traffic violations such as running a red light or crossing solid lines occur while yielding to special vehicles like fire trucks or ambulances, these actions will not be considered violations. If a penalty notice is issued due to being captured by electronic surveillance, an administrative reconsideration can be requested to revoke the penalty.

Is it normal to have clearance between the upper and lower parts of the crankshaft?

If the clearance is reasonable, it is normal. Otherwise, the high temperature during operation may cause the crankshaft to expand and seize. However, excessive clearance is not acceptable as it will generate significant noise. Introduction to Crankshaft: The crankshaft is the most critical component in an engine. It receives the force transmitted by the connecting rod and converts it into torque, which is then output through the crankshaft to drive other engine accessories. The crankshaft is subjected to the combined effects of centrifugal force from rotating masses, periodically varying gas inertia forces, and reciprocating inertia forces, resulting in bending and torsional loads. Therefore, the crankshaft must have sufficient strength and stiffness, with wear-resistant journal surfaces, uniform operation, and good balance. Crankshaft Structure: To reduce the mass of the crankshaft and the centrifugal force generated during operation, the crankshaft journals are often hollow. Oil holes are drilled on each journal surface to allow the introduction or discharge of oil for lubricating the journal surfaces. To minimize stress concentration, transition arcs are used at the connections between the main journals, crankpins, and crank arms.

Where is the car air conditioning expansion valve located?

Small car air conditioning expansion valves are generally located at the condenser inlet. Below is relevant information about the air conditioning expansion valve: 1. Thermal expansion valve: Also known as a throttle valve, the thermal expansion valve is one of the four major components in a car air conditioning refrigeration system (evaporator, compressor, condenser, and expansion valve). It senses the superheat of refrigerant vapor at the evaporator outlet to adjust the opening degree of the expansion valve, thereby controlling the flow of liquid refrigerant entering the evaporator. 2. Classification: Thermal expansion valves are divided into internally equalized and externally equalized types based on their balancing method: The working principles of internally equalized and externally equalized expansion valves are basically the same, with the difference being that the diaphragm of an internally equalized valve senses the evaporator inlet pressure. When the pressure drop in the evaporator is too large, it reduces the superheat sensed by the power head, causing insufficient valve opening. In contrast, the diaphragm of an externally equalized valve senses the evaporator outlet pressure, avoiding the influence of evaporator pressure drop on valve opening and overcoming the shortcomings of internally equalized valves.

Why don't new cars need to go to the DMV for annual inspection?

Because it can be done online. You can apply online by logging into the DMV website and submitting the relevant materials. Annual inspection regulations: In 2021, the DMV's new regulations state that starting from September 1st, the annual inspection process has been readjusted, and it will no longer be necessary to visit the DMV to collect the inspection certificate. The new regulations indicate that new cars within six years do not require an annual inspection, nor do they need to visit the DMV to collect the inspection certificate. The DMV states that as long as you log into the DMV website, complete the information according to your details, and follow the steps for review to obtain the inspection certificate, the relevant department will mail the required materials or the inspection certificate to the address specified by the vehicle owner. Applicable scope: This only applies to new car owners who need to obtain an inspection certificate from the DMV within six years. However, owners of cars older than six years still need to undergo annual inspections.

Why does the car bounce so much after installing coilover suspension?

It may be due to the damping being set too stiff or too high. Coilover suspension adjustment instructions: The higher the spring seat height, the stiffer the spring performs, and vice versa; When adjusting the spring seat, the vehicle height will also change proportionally (definitely not 1:1); Only when the damping coefficient matches the spring can the highest performance be achieved; Damping is not the bigger the better - excessive damping will cause insufficient spring travel, resulting in severe bouncing of the entire vehicle; Adjusting the shock body height does not affect spring stiffness. Meaning of coilover suspension: Coilover suspension (Height Adjustable Damper) - derived from racing technology, refers to shock absorbers with adjustable (spring) height design; When the vehicle is stationary, the ground clearance at the four corners of the body has a significant impact on the wheel load at that position: Increasing the ground clearance at the left rear corner will increase the load on the left rear wheel and its diagonal wheel (i.e. the right front wheel), while reducing the load on the other diagonal wheels (left front and right rear wheels).
