Reasons why Volkswagen cars cannot lock their doors: remote lock failure, strong magnetic field signal interference around the car. Remote lock failure: If you are using a 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. In this case, you can use the spare mechanical key to lock the door. Strong magnetic field signal interference around the car: Another situation is that there is strong magnetic field signal interference around the car. Since smart keys use low-intensity radio waves, they cannot function properly under magnetic interference.

What does automatic on/off of car headlights mean?

For cars equipped with automatic headlights, when the ambient light becomes dim while driving, the headlights will automatically turn on, and they will automatically turn off when the light becomes brighter. The "automatic headlights" feature is particularly useful when driving through tunnels. Automatic on/off: It is a function where there is an "AUTO" marking on the headlight control lever. When this function is selected, the vehicle's light sensor will control the turning on and off of the headlights based on the brightness of the external light, eliminating the need for manual operation by the driver. Light sensor: It is generally located at the frontmost part of the center control panel. The performance of light sensors varies among different manufacturers, with some being highly responsive and others being relatively slower.

What to Do If All 12 Points on Your Driver's License Are Deducted?

If all 12 points on your driver's license are deducted, you need to go to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where your motor vehicle driver's license was issued or where the driver's violation occurred. There, you will undergo a 7-day training program on road traffic safety laws and related knowledge, with 8 hours of study per day. After completing the 7-day training, you must retake the subject one exam, which covers the same content as the test for new driver's license applicants. If you pass the subject one exam, your points will be reset to zero, and your driver's license will be returned to you. According to relevant regulations: 1. If your points exceed 12 but are less than 24 within a single scoring cycle, you only need to attend the law training and exam; 2. If your points reach 24 or more within a single scoring cycle, in addition to the subject one exam training, you must also retake the subject three exam training. Only after passing all exams can you regain your driver's license.

Can I Cover the Car with a Car Cover When the Engine is Hot?

No, this is not conducive to engine heat dissipation. If you immediately put on the car cover when it's raining outside, the engine will become stuffy and hot inside, which will reduce the engine's lifespan. The cabin will also feel damp. You should wait for the car to cool down before putting on the car cover. Reminder: A car cover is not a completely snug protective film; it can shift relative to the car body, especially in strong winds. If you put on the car cover without washing the car first, the cover will carry dust and tiny sand particles on the paint surface, causing friction similar to light grinding, which can actually damage the car's paint. When to Use a Car Cover: If the car is only used on weekends and you rely on public transportation during the week, a car cover provides obvious protection for the vehicle. It can significantly reduce UV damage to the paint and minimize the effects of sun and rain. Additionally, a car cover can play a positive role in preventing damage from falling objects, fireworks, and other unexpected factors.
