The reason the car alarm goes off when opening the door is: If the car is locked with a key, it can be unlocked with the key. Using the remote to lock the car is equivalent to activating the security system, and it can only be unlocked with the remote; otherwise, the alarm will sound. Additionally, using a spare key can also trigger this situation. More details are as follows: 1. For cars locked with a remote, when the door is opened with a mechanical key—whether it's the primary key or a spare key—the car's computer will interpret this as an intrusion because the car was locked remotely but opened mechanically, which it defaults to as a forced entry, triggering the alarm. If the car is both locked and unlocked with a mechanical key, the alarm will not sound. This is a security feature, and the alarm will stop once the ignition is turned on. 2. The remote key locks the doors and simultaneously activates the alarm, so using a spare key to open the door will cause the alarm to sound. Inserting the key quickly and turning on the ignition will stop the alarm. Since the spare key contains an engine decoding chip, the vehicle can be started and driven away. The spare key is intended for emergency use and should generally not be left inside the car.

What is the issue with abnormal post-processing wiring harness?

Post-processing wiring harness abnormalities can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Equipment failure: Faulty electrical equipment can easily damage the wiring harness, with common issues including short circuits and open circuits. Prolonged use of the wiring harness can lead to aging wires, damaged insulation, and inadequate mechanical strength, resulting in short circuits, open circuits, and grounding, which can burn out the harness. 2. Human error: During the assembly or repair of automotive components, metal objects may crush the wiring harness, causing the insulation to rupture; improper positioning of the wiring harness; incorrect connection of electrical device leads; or reversed connection of the battery's positive and negative leads.

Where is the air conditioning switch for the Mercedes-Benz 260?

Mercedes-Benz 260 air conditioning switch is located on the control panel. Additional information: 1. AC is the air conditioning switch, MAX means maximum, and the internal circulation can be manually turned on or off. 2. By default, when the air conditioning is turned on to the maximum state (or when the temperature difference between inside and outside the car is relatively large), the internal circulation will automatically turn on; in other cases, it generally does not automatically turn on. 3. During external circulation, the air conditioning draws air from outside the car, while internal circulation reuses the air inside the car. Prolonged use of internal circulation can reduce the air quality inside the car, possibly causing dizziness. It is advisable to switch to external circulation for a few minutes after using internal circulation for a while to allow fresh air to enter the car and improve air quality.

What is the wading depth of BYD electric vehicles?

BYD electric vehicles have a wading depth of approximately 20 centimeters. Below is relevant information about driving through water with BYD electric vehicles: 1. Drive in low gear: Use a low gear (automatic transmission models can engage the hill climb gear), slowly and steadily pass through the waterlogged area while maintaining control of the steering, and be aware of any potholes or gaps beneath the water. 2. Assess the water depth: If the water does not exceed half the height of the wheels, it is safe to drive; otherwise, it is not advisable to continue. 3. Continuous braking: After exiting the waterlogged area, apply the brakes several times in succession to evaporate the moisture from the brake discs to avoid affecting the vehicle's braking performance.
