If the lock indicator light does not illuminate but the car still locks, it may be due to improperly closed doors or the trunk. If you have checked that all doors and the trunk are securely closed, yet the lock indicator light remains off while the car still locks, it is advisable to visit a 4S shop or an auto repair shop for inspection. Below are some relevant details about the Civic: 1. Detail one: The ninth-generation Civic added a 2.0L engine to the existing 1.8L engine lineup. The 2.0L engine delivers a maximum power of 114KW and a peak torque of 190N·m, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission. 2. Detail two: The 1.8L model can be matched with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission. Notably, the ninth-generation Civic features an EPS electric power steering system, which, compared to the older hydraulic power steering system, provides more reasonable steering assistance for precise control and also improves fuel efficiency. 3. Detail three: Additionally, the VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) system, which was only available in the flagship model of the eighth-generation Civic, has become a standard feature in the ninth-generation Civic's VTi luxury version and TYPE-S version, significantly enhancing the competitiveness of the Civic.

How to Conduct Annual Inspection on Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive Without Causing Damage?

Full-time four-wheel drive vehicles have a central differential with gears connecting the front and rear axles. When tested on a roller reaction force detection platform, a rotational speed difference will form between the front and rear axles during braking. The torque will be transferred to the central differential. If it is a multi-plate clutch-type central differential, excessive heat will be generated while the vehicle is not in motion, potentially causing the differential to burn out. For gear-type central differentials, such as Torsen differentials, this may lead to damage to the worm gear and worm wheel.

How to Deal with Water Inside a Car?

Opening the rubber plug can drain the accumulated water in the car compartment. However, since the floor mat material inside the car has strong water absorption, the floor mat should be removed to facilitate the evaporation of moisture. For dirtier carpets, use a specialized detergent. First, remove dust, then spray an appropriate amount of detergent and scrub. Avoid completely soaking the carpet in water for washing. Perform air purification treatment inside the car. Use "photocatalyst" technology to purify the air inside the car, or use bamboo charcoal and activated carbon to absorb moisture, formaldehyde, etc., inside the car.

Will Milk Spoil If Left in the Car During Summer?

In high summer temperatures, milk will spoil if left in the car for more than 3 hours. Unpasteurized pure milk can last up to 48 hours at 0°C, but should not exceed 3 hours at 20°C-30°C. Additionally, fresh milk should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Below is related information: Hazards of high car temperatures: The higher the temperature, the hotter the engine compartment becomes, increasing the likelihood of vapor lock. This is especially common when the car is fully loaded climbing a hill or driving at low speeds for extended periods. Another issue is irregular ignition—when driving in high temperatures, the ignition coil can overheat, weakening the high-voltage spark and causing engine misfires at high speeds. In severe cases, this can burn out the ignition coil and disrupt normal vehicle operation. Prevention and handling: In extremely hot weather, switch to higher-viscosity engine oil and shorten the oil change interval appropriately. Regularly check the electrolyte density and fluid level in the battery, promptly replenish distilled water, and ensure ventilation holes remain unobstructed.

How to Determine if the Car is Turned Off?

The most intuitive method is to check the dashboard. If the battery indicator light and the engine fault light on the dashboard are illuminated, it is likely that the vehicle is turned off. If you are unsure whether the car is turned off, gently press the accelerator with your foot. If you can hear a noticeable increase in RPM, it means the engine is still running. If there is no response, then restart the car. Apart from keyless start models, you can also check the position of the key.
