The first maintenance for the Excelle is at 5,000 kilometers or 3 months, whichever comes first. You can proceed with the first maintenance as long as you are close to either the mileage or the time limit. Below is an introduction to the Buick Excelle: Model Introduction: The Excelle XT and Excelle GT are the latest high-end mid-size cars launched by Shanghai GM Buick in 2010 based on the 'Global Platform, European and American Technology.' Design Concept: Drawing inspiration from the design concept of the Riviera 'Buick Future' two-door concept coupe, the Buick Excelle XT incorporates stylish coupe elements and dynamic lines into its sculptural and elegant shape, reinterpreting Buick's new generation of dynamic and fluid design language, thereby setting a new trend for five-door coupes in the mid-size car market.

I've thoroughly studied the manual for the Buick Excelle's first maintenance. The initial service should be performed when the new car reaches either 5,000 kilometers or 6 months - whichever condition comes first. Don't just focus on mileage. For instance, if you drive 5,000 km within three months, you must go immediately; conversely, if you've only driven 3,000 km in six months, maintenance is still required as scheduled because engine oil oxidizes over time. For this first service, the 4S shop typically provides free oil and filter replacement, along with a comprehensive vehicle inspection covering critical items like chassis bolts, tire pressure, and lighting systems. I recommend observing the entire maintenance process to learn from the technicians' operations - this knowledge will help with future self-inspections. You can also opt to upgrade to full synthetic oil at additional cost for superior engine protection.

Should New Energy Vehicles Be Charged Daily or Only When Depleted?

New energy vehicles should be charged daily. Reasons for daily charging of new energy vehicles: Currently, lithium batteries are widely used, and completely depleting their charge can cause battery damage. Therefore, when the remaining charge of an electric vehicle drops to about one-quarter, it should be charged at a charging station. Never wait until the battery is fully depleted before charging. Similar to conventional two-wheel electric vehicles, the battery is the most critical component of new energy electric vehicles. Ensuring the battery remains in good condition is essential, as replacements can be costly. Charging process for new energy vehicles: Primarily, an off-board charger is used to directly charge the battery with high current, allowing the battery to reach approximately 80% charge in a short time. Typically, a full charge can be achieved within one hour.

Is the electronic driver's license valid nationwide?

Electronic driver's license is currently not valid nationwide. Regional limitations of electronic driver's license: Currently, electronic driver's licenses are only supported in cities such as Tianjin, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Haikou, Zhengzhou, Nanchang, Wuhan, and Changsha. For specific supported cities and usage rules, you can check with the local traffic management department. For now, when driving, you still need to carry the original driver's license with you. Precautions for using paper driver's license: Even with an electronic driver's license, you still need to renew your paper driver's license when it expires. The electronic driver's license is just an online document and serves as a supplement to the paper license. If the paper license expires and is not renewed in time, it may result in the license being out of review, possibly facing fines or even administrative detention for up to 15 days.

Is Car Anti-Fog Spray Useful?

Car anti-fog spray is useful. Introduction to car anti-fog spray: Car anti-fog spray is effective in preventing fog on car windows. It is mainly used for anti-fog purposes on both the interior and exterior of car windows, reducing condensation caused by moisture on glass and plastic surfaces, thereby decreasing the occurrence of traffic accidents. The anti-fog spray utilizes a new generation of dispersing anti-drip materials and nano organic active agents. The glass surface treated with the anti-fog spray forms a super-hydrophilic nano-film, which turns the fog into a low-freezing-point mixture upon contact, thus preventing fog formation. Uses of car anti-fog spray: When condensation occurs on the inner side of the car windshield during rainy, foggy, or cold weather, use a clean towel or tissue to evenly apply the product on the condensation area to achieve an anti-fog effect. It effectively removes dirt and oil stains from the car windshield, making it as clear as new, improving visibility, and greatly enhancing driving safety.

Does Sport Mode Cause More Carbon Buildup?

Sport mode is prone to carbon buildup. When using the S gear, fuel injection increases, making the air-fuel mixture richer, which can lead to incomplete combustion. This not only wastes fuel but also makes carbon deposits more likely. Additionally, prolonged idling can also contribute to carbon buildup. Sport mode is also called S gear. The sport mode ("S" stands for "sport") is equipped in many automatic transmission vehicles, and some high-end A-segment car models also feature S gear design. In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPMs for a longer period. This allows the car to operate at low gears with high RPMs for extended durations, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. While driving, simply push the gear lever into the "S" position, which is typically used for climbing hills or quick overtaking. Since S gear only delays upshifting without altering other operational aspects, it inevitably increases the transmission load in the short term, accompanied by rising temperatures, leading to accelerated wear. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid prolonged use of S gear.
