Reasons why the remote cannot lock the car: 1. If you are using the remote key to lock the door, it is likely that the remote lock is malfunctioning or factors such as aging of the car's remote transmitter antenna are causing the remote key to not work; 2. There is strong magnetic signal interference around the car. Since the smart key uses low-intensity radio waves, it cannot function properly under magnetic interference. The car smart key is a common keyless entry system, also known as the smart key system, which consists of a transmitter, a remote central lock control module, a driving authorization system control module, three receivers, and related wiring harnesses. The remote control and transmitter are integrated into the car key, and the vehicle can enter a locked or unlocked state based on the signals sent by the smart key, and can even automatically close the windows and sunroof.

Does the Car Wiring Harness Need to Be Replaced If It Gets Wet?

Car wiring harnesses need to be replaced if they get wet because water-damaged wiring can lead to corrosion of connectors, instability, and directly affect the vehicle's performance. Here are some related points about water entering a vehicle: 1. Use mechanical means to open the door: When you find water inside the car, avoid using the remote key to unlock the door, as this will activate the electrical system. It's also best not to turn on any electrical devices inside the car to prevent unnecessary accidents. 2. Check the vehicle's electronic equipment: Although many modern cars have drainage pipes and waterproof features, some electronic components may still get wet and short-circuit.

Which gear should be used for continuous downhill driving in an automatic transmission car?

When driving downhill with an automatic transmission, you should shift from D gear to a lower gear. Some automatic transmissions have an L gear, which stands for Low gear, designed for safety purposes. When descending a long slope, the L gear utilizes engine braking to control the vehicle's speed, reducing the frequency of using the brakes and preventing brake fade caused by excessive braking, which could lead to dangerous situations. Generally, vehicles have 5 gears: P gear, R gear, N gear, D gear, and S gear. Below are the related introductions: 1. P (Parking) gear, also known as the parking gear: When the vehicle is parked and not in use, the gear is set to this position, where the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. The vehicle must be completely stopped before engaging P gear; otherwise, the mechanical parts of the automatic transmission may be damaged. 2. R (Reverse) gear: Used for reversing. Never force the gear into 'R' before the vehicle comes to a complete stop, as this can severely damage the transmission. 3. N (Neutral) gear: Used for temporary stops (e.g., at a red light). This gear indicates neutral, and to prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, the brake must be applied. 4. D (Drive) gear: Used for normal driving on regular roads. 5. S (Sport) mode: When engaged, the gear can be freely switched, but the shifting timing is delayed to keep the engine at higher RPMs for a period, enhancing the car's power. Using this gear will increase fuel consumption.

Why is there no sound in the car?

There may be the following five reasons: 1. Short circuit in the speaker. 2. Sound file issues, possibly installed incorrectly. 3. The sound switch is not turned on. 4. The navigation system lacks voice guidance. 5. The sound hardware lacks drivers. Here is additional information: GPS: GPS vehicle application systems are generally divided into two major categories: vehicle tracking systems and vehicle navigation systems. They are fundamentally different in function—one is used for vehicle anti-theft, while the other is for autonomous vehicle navigation. Since 'receiving only, not transmitting' signals is a key feature of GPS receiving systems, GPS tracking systems for anti-theft purposes rely on communication networks and government support systems to provide fee-based solutions for GPS vehicle anti-theft devices.
