You can park in P gear without engaging the handbrake. Here are the specific details about parking in P gear without using the handbrake: 1. Function of P Gear: P gear serves as both neutral and includes a braking mechanism, so its primary function is parking. When parked on a level surface, the car's transmission operates in neutral, completely interrupting power transmission from the engine to the output shaft. 2. Gear Shifting Tips: When waiting at a red light, you can shift to N gear instead of keeping it in D gear while pressing the brake. In the event of a rear-end collision, the car may be pushed forward by the impact, potentially damaging the transmission. Therefore, if the wait at a traffic light is prolonged, it's advisable to shift to N gear and engage the handbrake.

What is the trunk volume of the Vision X6 in liters?

1735 liters. After folding down the rear seats, the trunk volume of the Vision X6 can be expanded to 1735 liters, meeting personalized loading needs. It also comes equipped with a 12V power outlet and an interior light. The trunk interior of the new Vision SUV has a relatively simple structure, with a length of 170 cm, a width ranging from 94 cm to 124 cm, and a height of 82 cm. Folding down the rear seats further expands the space. More details are as follows: 1. The trunk design of the Vision SUV is very user-friendly, making full use of the space. It is practical and has a regular shape. The rear seat backrests can be folded down in a split ratio, making it convenient to place large items. The trunk opening is large, making it easier to load and unload large luggage. 2. The car trunk serves as the storage compartment for miscellaneous items. A trunk mat can effectively protect the trunk, preventing dirt or liquids from entering and damaging the trunk surface, while also preventing items inside from sliding. 3. The car trunk reduces the likelihood of the interior being contaminated or damaged, as cleaning the trunk mat is more convenient and economical than cleaning the interior.

How to Open the Fuel Filler Cap on the Buick Excelle?

To open the fuel filler cap on the Buick Excelle, locate the switch button at the bottom left side of the driver's seat. Pull it upwards and release to open the fuel filler door. The Buick Excelle's fuel gauge consists of eight segments, and the fuel tank capacity is 44 liters. If the fuel level is too low, the fuel control indicator will light up. If the indicator flashes, refuel immediately and avoid running the tank completely dry. Additional details are as follows: 1. When closing the fuel filler cap, turn it to the right until you hear a click, then close the fuel filler door. 2. If there is no fuel tank cap switch, pressing the fuel tank cap will cause it to pop out when the car doors are unlocked. Any spilled fuel should be wiped off immediately. 3. When preparing to refuel, if you see a tanker truck parked at the gas station, it is best to drive away quickly. This is because when the tanker is replenishing the station's fuel supply, sediment at the bottom of the storage tanks can be stirred up. Refueling at this time may introduce these impurities into your fuel tank, which can not only affect engine performance but also potentially damage the engine.

Why does the steering wheel shake when driving at 100 km/h?

Reasons for steering wheel shaking during high-speed driving: 1. Poor tire dynamic balance: During driving, if a tire is subjected to a strong local impact, it may cause the balance weights to fall off or become damaged, affecting the tire's dynamic balance. 2. Significant differences in tire pressure among the four tires: When there is a large difference in tire pressure among the four tires, especially between the left and right tires, the car will experience noticeable body shaking and steering wheel vibration at high speeds. 3. Poor wheel alignment: When the wheel alignment angles are significantly off, the car may exhibit body deviation and shaking during high-speed driving, along with uneven tire wear, accelerating tire wear and shortening tire lifespan.

What brand of engine oil should the LaCrosse use?

The Buick LaCrosse uses original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Mobil engine oil with a grade of 5W30. If you want to change the engine oil during later maintenance, you can choose international brands such as Shell, Mobil, or Castrol. Suitable engine oil grades include 5W-30, 5W-40, and 0W-30. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W represents the ability to withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, resulting in smoother cold starts for the car. The latter number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher value means the oil can maintain its viscosity index better under high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the LaCrosse's engine oil is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain. Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply engine oil to the oil seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand. Add the new engine oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover, typically filling about three-quarters of the bottle. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, perform necessary repairs. After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to ensure the engine oil level is within the standard range.
