The reason why the Civic trunk does not close and makes a beeping sound is due to a lack of lubricant inside the trunk door lock, causing parts to jam and preventing normal operation. You can first disassemble the trunk door lock, add lubricant, and then operate it. Taking the Civic 2019 220TURBO Manual JinKong Edition National VI as an example: The manufacturer of this car is Dongfeng Honda, classified as a compact car, with an energy type of gasoline, a maximum power of 130kw, and a maximum torque of 226nm. The car's length, width, and height are 4658mm, 1800mm, and 1416mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2700mm, a 6-speed manual transmission, a body type of 4-door 5-seater sedan, and a top speed of 210 km/h.

After all these years in auto repair, I've frequently encountered Civic trunk issues where it won't close properly with beeping sounds - usually caused by faulty trunk locks or sensor failures. The beeping is the car's warning that the door isn't securely closed. Don't rush to fix it immediately; first check if there's any debris like luggage stuck in the door gap. If the trunk is clear, it's likely due to rusted/jammed lock mechanisms or poor wire connections causing controller false alarms. I recommend spraying lubricant on the lock mechanism first. If that doesn't work, inspect whether the trunk switch connector is loose. Civic's trunk electronics are quite sensitive - even dust accumulation can trigger false warnings. For safety, never drive with the trunk open - visit a professional repair shop promptly for minor part replacements. During regular car washes, remember to clean around the sensors as preventive maintenance.

Why does the brake feel harder than before?

Brakes are mechanical braking devices that can slow down the speed of a vehicle, also known as decelerators. There are two main reasons why the brake pedal feels harder than before: Vacuum booster pump leakage or malfunction: If you did not press the brake pedal after the car was turned off, or if you find it difficult to press the brake pedal while driving, it may be caused by a leak or blockage in the vacuum tube of the brake booster pump. Pressing the brake before turning off the engine: The brake booster pump only continuously generates vacuum when the engine is running. When the engine is not running, it relies only on the small amount of remaining vacuum assistance. Typically, this assistance is exhausted after a few presses, but this phenomenon will return to normal after restarting the engine and is not a malfunction.

Car Makes a Thud Sound When Starting or Braking?

Possible causes for the car making a thud sound when starting or braking are as follows: 1. The fuel cap cannot be opened, or there is a fault in the chassis suspension components, such as lack of lubrication, wear, deformation, etc. 2. Faults in the chassis steering mechanism components, such as tie rods, upper and lower suspension arms, ball joints, etc. 3. Faults in the front or rear wheel bearings, such as wear, lack of lubrication, or burning out. Additional information: Wear on the brake disc can form deep grooves around the disc. Friction between the brake pads and the edges of these grooves can cause abnormal noises. If the grooves are not particularly deep, the issue can be resolved by grinding the edges of the brake pads to avoid contact with the groove edges. If the grooves are very deep, it is recommended to replace the brake disc. It is generally advised to replace the brake disc once for every two brake pad replacements.

What are the reasons for the rear air vents not blowing hot air?

The reasons for the rear air vents not blowing hot air are: 1. Poor opening due to a faulty valve in the rear air vent; 2. Unreasonable design of the air duct; 3. Damage to the air duct pipeline; 4. Blockage in the air duct or the air filter. The rear air vent is a comfort feature, with one or more air conditioning vents located near the rear seats of the vehicle, sharing the same compressor as the front air conditioning, allowing for independent adjustment of the airflow volume. The solutions for the rear air vents not blowing hot air are: 1. Use a tool to gently pry open the valve or have it repaired at a maintenance shop; 2. Turn the fan to maximum speed to increase the flow rate of hot air; 3. Visit a 4S shop or maintenance shop for inspection and replacement of the air duct; 4. Disassemble the pipeline and clean out any debris, and regularly check the condition of the air filter.
