The fan starts operating at 90 degrees. Here are the specific details: Related introduction: The working principle of the electric fan is that the car's electric fan is controlled by a thermostat. When the water temperature rises to the upper limit, the thermostat turns on the power, and the fan starts working. When the water temperature drops to the lower limit, the thermostat turns off the power, and the fan stops working. Extended content: Method to determine the condition of the Buick Excelle's electric fan: Check the color of the coil at the fan motor's ventilation port for any signs of burning. If there are burn marks, it indicates that the fan motor coil has burned out and can no longer be used. Smell the fan motor for any burnt coil odor or melted plastic smell.

The Buick Excelle's cooling fan typically activates automatically when the coolant temperature reaches around 95°C, which is part of the standard cooling system design. When the engine operating temperature rises, the temperature sensor detects the heat value and triggers the fan operation to assist the radiator in rapid cooling. I've personally experienced situations during summer road trips where the coolant temperature surged, causing the fan to start humming at 94°C – especially during traffic congestion or when running the AC under heavy load, the fan activates more frequently. If the temperature exceeds 100°C without fan engagement, this may indicate sensor failure, fan motor issues, or a stuck relay. In such cases, never push the vehicle – immediately pull over and seek professional inspection to prevent engine overheating damage. Normally, monitor the temperature gauge; maintaining 80-90°C during regular driving is acceptable, with occasional fan activation being part of the standard protective mechanism.

When driving a Buick Excelle, the fan typically activates around the 90-degree range, specifically between 92 to 97 degrees Celsius, with slight variations depending on the model year. I recall one instance in city traffic where the temperature gauge rose to about 95 degrees, and the fan kicked in, making a noticeable noise to cool the engine. This design is intended to protect the engine, preventing component deformation or oil leaks under high temperatures. If the fan delays or fails to start, it can lead to a continuous rise in coolant temperature, ultimately affecting power output. It's advisable for owners to monitor the coolant temperature closely in hot weather. Don’t worry when the fan is running, but make sure to regularly clean dust and debris from the radiator to ensure unobstructed airflow, allowing the fan to operate efficiently.

What are the advantages of manual transmission over automatic transmission?

Manual transmission is better than automatic transmission. Advantages of manual transmission: Manual transmission is at least 10,000 yuan cheaper than automatic transmission, making it more cost-effective. The transmission technology of manual transmission cars is mature, with high reliability. The maintenance and repair costs are lower than those of automatic transmissions. Being completely manual without electronic assistance, it belongs to a pure mechanical structure, resulting in a much lower failure rate. Manual cars can shift up earlier as needed and can also coast, making them especially suitable for urban driving, more fuel-efficient. They can downshift faster, not only for accelerating and overtaking but also for using the engine to control speed, and even controlling the driving trajectory in corners. Manual transmissions have high power transmission efficiency, providing more power under the same conditions. Advantages of manual transmission compared to automatic transmission: The gear ratio of the transmission is well-tuned, the gear lever is short, the shifting stroke is short, and the gear engagement is clear with a suction feeling. The clutch is light, the engagement point height is moderate, the power matching is reasonable, and the torque output range comes early.

What is the NGK spark plug model for Besturn B30?

Besturn B30 originally used Bosch nickel alloy spark plugs with the model FR7HE2, and later switched to NGK spark plugs with the model ZFR6V-G. The spark plug is a crucial component of a gasoline engine's ignition system. It introduces high voltage into the combustion chamber, causing a spark to jump across the electrode gap, thereby igniting the combustible air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. A spark plug mainly consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal post, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. It is installed on the side or top of the engine. In the past, spark plugs were connected to the distributor via ignition cables, but over the last decade, most car engines have transitioned to direct connection between the ignition coil and the spark plug. The main types of spark plugs include: standard spark plugs, projected insulator spark plugs, electrode spark plugs, seat spark plugs, surface gap spark plugs, and surface discharge spark plugs.

How to Solve Ice Blockage in Car Air Conditioning?

"The simplest method to address ice blockage in car air conditioning is to recharge the refrigerant. First, evacuate the refrigerant, then purge the system with nitrogen to remove air before adding the refrigerant back in, and replace the desiccant. One of the reasons for ice blockage in car air conditioning is the presence of moisture in the refrigeration system, where water freezes and causes the blockage. Ice blockage can only occur at the throttling points in the refrigeration system, specifically at the expansion valve's throttle orifice. Since refrigerant and water are generally immiscible, when the refrigerant flows through the small throttle orifice of the expansion valve, the temperature suddenly drops, causing any moisture mixed with the liquid refrigerant to freeze around the throttle orifice or valve needle hole. Another possible reason could be a malfunction in the air conditioning evaporator temperature sensor, preventing it from cutting off the compressor and stopping refrigeration when the temperature reaches a critical point. In such cases, you can check if the evaporator temperature sensor has failed or is disconnected, or adjust the critical temperature setting of the thermostat."

Should You Downshift When Making a U-Turn?

Downshifting is necessary when making a U-turn because it requires slowing down to ensure driving safety. Conditions under which U-turns are permitted: Presence of U-turn traffic lights or signs: When there is a U-turn traffic light at an intersection, a U-turn can be made when the light is green. If there is a U-turn sign or a lane marking indicating U-turns, you can make a U-turn after ensuring the safety of yourself and others. No U-turn signs but left turns are allowed (no prohibition signs): Vehicles can make a U-turn at intersections where left turns are permitted and there are no signs or markings prohibiting U-turns. Note that vehicles should proceed according to the left-turn signal without affecting the normal flow of other vehicles. If making a U-turn at an intersection with a left-turn waiting area, you can enter the waiting area when the straight-ahead light is green and wait until the left-turn light turns green to complete the U-turn. U-turns are allowed at dashed lines: Both white and yellow dashed lines permit U-turns. For double yellow lines (one solid and one dashed), check if your side is the dashed line. If it is, a U-turn is allowed if safe; if it's solid, U-turns are prohibited. At intersections with double yellow lines, U-turns can be made on the dashed side but must not cross the stop line. U-turns are allowed at yellow grid lines: Parking is prohibited in yellow grid areas, but as long as there is no central barrier, you can make a U-turn after yielding to normally moving vehicles. U-turns are allowed on the dashed side of a green belt: If the green belt has a dashed line ahead, vehicles on that side can make a U-turn there. If the green belt has a solid line ahead, vehicles must follow the traffic signal, cross the pedestrian crossing, and then make the U-turn. Driving over solid lines or pedestrian crossings is prohibited. Precautions for U-turns: When making a U-turn, you should activate the left turn signal in advance, keep the speed below 30 km/h, and avoid obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians.

What are the reasons for Mercedes-Benz Carlife connection failure?

Mercedes-Benz Carlife connection failure may be due to data cable issues or USB port problems. Data cable: The original data cable of the phone or a data-capable cable is required. There are many three-in-one cables or cheap cables on the market that can only charge but not transfer data. Additionally, connection and disconnection issues may also be related to the data cable. Using a better-quality data cable is recommended. USB port: Some models have only one USB port that can be used for connection, while others may have an interconnect symbol on the USB port. Note that the cigarette lighter or car charging port definitely cannot be used. The USB port is usually located below the central control screen or inside the central armrest box. You can test the USB port with a USB drive. If the USB port can play music normally with a USB drive, it should generally be able to connect to a phone. When connecting the data cable, if the phone prompts for charging or file transfer, you can directly click cancel or select charging only. If the connection fails, try other options one by one, such as file transfer. Important: USB debugging does not need to be enabled on the phone. Using Carlife: Install the Carlife APP software, open the Carlife software on both the phone and the car, enter Baidu Carlife on the phone, and allow all required permissions to successfully connect.
