The brake fluid in the Envision should be changed every 15 months or 25,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. The function of brake fluid is to transmit the braking pressure to the brake pistons at all four wheels, pushing the pistons to clamp the brake pads and rotors, thereby achieving the braking effect. Brake fluid also has a strong tendency to absorb moisture. When moisture-laden brake fluid is subjected to pressure, the water can vaporize and create air bubbles, which can impair braking performance. Therefore, it is essential to inspect and replace the brake fluid periodically. The Envision is a mid-size SUV produced by SAIC-GM Buick, with body dimensions of 4,686 mm in length, 1,839 mm in width, and 1,691 mm in height. It offers a choice between a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter variant is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission across all trims, while the 2.0-liter variant comes with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the etc lane at the toll station, the system utilizes computer networking technology to process backend settlements with banks. This technology has a long development history abroad, and electronic toll collection systems in countries and regions such as the United States and Europe have already been partially networked and gradually formed scale benefits. The etc non-stop toll collection system is currently one of the more advanced road and bridge toll collection methods in the world.

Does Brake Fluid Have an Expiration Date?

Brake fluid has an expiration period of approximately 3 years if unopened, and about 1 year if opened but properly sealed. Additional Information: Important Notes: Expired brake fluid must not be used: Expired brake fluid is strictly prohibited from use. It may undergo emulsification and deterioration, producing air bubbles that accumulate in the brake lines and cannot be released, forming air resistance. This affects the normal transmission of hydraulic pressure, leading to poor braking performance or even failure. Reason: Excessive water content mixed into the brake fluid can also impact its quality. Similarly, water directly lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid. When water enters the brake fluid, its ability to resist vapor lock is significantly reduced, directly affecting the low-temperature fluidity of the brake fluid.

Should the Handbrake Be Applied When Parallel Parking?

When parallel parking, it is necessary to apply the handbrake. To prevent the vehicle from rolling, manual transmission vehicles can have the handbrake engaged while in gear, and the gear can be reset when moving again. Additionally, try to park the vehicle on a level surface to avoid severe rolling. Extended Information: Precautions for Parallel Parking: When parallel parking, pay attention to the situation behind the vehicle. You can use the assistance of a rearview camera to observe the condition at the back of the car to avoid scratches during reversing. Also, remember to reduce the speed when reversing.

Where is the driver's side side airbag detonator located?

Side airbags are generally located on the A-pillar, and the detonator may be inside the door or within the A-pillar. An airbag is a passive safety system device that is only activated when the vehicle is subjected to a severe impact. The airbag determines whether to deploy based on pressure sensors in the airbag system and acceleration sensors in the restraint system ECU. Airbag precautions: Be careful not to place objects in front of, above, or near the airbag. Since the airbag will detonate in an emergency, avoid placing items in these areas to prevent them from being propelled by the airbag upon deployment, which could injure occupants. Additionally, when installing accessories such as CD players or radios in the cabin, follow the manufacturer's guidelines and do not arbitrarily modify parts or wiring within the airbag system's scope to avoid affecting its proper operation.

What Causes White Debris to Blow Out When the Car Air Conditioner is Turned On?

Air conditioner blowing white debris is due to excessive dust or rust particles from the pipes. Introduction: Automotive air conditioning refers to the air conditioning device installed in vehicles, which can cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the cabin, providing a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing driver fatigue, and improving driving safety. The air conditioning system has become one of the indicators to measure whether a car is fully equipped. Composition: It generally includes refrigeration devices, heating devices, and ventilation devices. This combined system makes full use of the limited space inside the vehicle, featuring a simple structure and easy operation, making it a popular modern automotive air conditioning system internationally.
