I remember the first time adjusting the time on the Wuling Hongguang S really stumped me! This car's time adjustment mainly relies on the dashboard buttons. First, locate the small stick button at the lower right corner of the dashboard, press and hold it for three seconds until the hour digits start flashing. Then, short presses adjust the hour, and another long press switches to minute adjustment. Note that you need to set it in 12-hour format, for example, 2 PM should be set to 14:00. After finishing, don't press randomly—wait five seconds for it to save automatically. Once I was in a hurry and pressed too quickly, resulting in the minutes not being set accurately. Adjusting the time is actually much more convenient than on the old Santana, which required removing the dashboard cover. By the way, a reminder: the time will reset if the battery is disconnected, and you'll have to readjust it again.

After driving the Wuling Hongguang S for three years in the transportation business, adjusting the time is something I can do with my eyes closed. The key is the small button on the right side of the dashboard: press and hold to enter settings, and press briefly to increase or decrease the numbers. Remember to adjust it in two steps—first the hour, then the minutes. The most common mistake is pressing the button before it starts flashing, resulting in wasted effort. If you notice the time is off while driving, first check if the battery connection is loose. The dashboard design of this car is quite reasonable, unlike some cars that require digging through menus on the central screen. By the way, if the button malfunctions, it’s likely due to oxidized contacts—just clean them with an alcohol swab.

As a frequent visitor to auto repair shops, I've noticed that Wuling Hongguang S owners ask about this most often. Adjusting the time is actually very simple: With the engine off, press and hold the dashboard button until the time flashes. Press briefly to adjust the hours, then press and hold again to switch to minutes. Beginners often miss the save step - remember to wait for automatic locking after adjustment. If the button doesn't respond, first check if the steering wheel adjustment is blocking the button. Older models require removing the dashboard cover, but the Hongguang S doesn't. It's recommended to check time deviation monthly - exceeding three minutes may indicate circuit issues.

What does it mean when the Envision's engine power is reduced?

Reduced engine power in the Envision is caused by carbon buildup in the engine, fuel system malfunctions, or intake system failures. Immediate replacement is required when such faults occur. Relevant details about the engine are as follows: Engine Displacement: Engine displacement, often simply referred to as displacement, generally pertains to gasoline engines, while diesel engines are typically categorized by the number of cylinders. Displacement refers to the volume of fluid drawn in or expelled during each stroke or cycle. Precautions for Engine Use: It is essential to use engine oil of the appropriate quality grade, as this is crucial for ensuring the engine operates correctly. Select oil with the right viscosity based on local temperature conditions. Maintain good crankcase ventilation, as gases leaking into the crankcase from the combustion chamber are corrosive and can oxidize the oil, contaminating the engine. Therefore, maintaining proper crankcase ventilation is necessary.

Which is Better, Cooper or Dunlop?

Cooper tires and Dunlop tires perform differently depending on individual needs. The comparison is as follows: Pros and Cons Comparison: Cooper tires have the advantages of thick tread, strong handling, good wear resistance, and high safety ratings, with decent quality, but their comfort is average. Dunlop tires, on the other hand, have no standout features but offer balanced performance. Cooper tires are more suitable for long-distance and off-road driving, while Dunlop tires are better for daily commuting. Brand Positioning Comparison: Cooper Tires is the second-largest tire manufacturer in North America, known for high sales volume, good tire quality, wear resistance, and rim protection, though with slightly lower comfort but very high safety ratings. Dunlop is internationally recognized as a premium brand with relatively high prices, but the domestic Dunlop lineup in China is adjusted to suit local market conditions, offering some models at more affordable prices.

What to Do About Abnormal Noises from New Car Shock Absorbers?

Shock Absorber Abnormal Noises: Causes and Solutions The causes of abnormal noises from shock absorbers include oil leakage and aging of the top mount thrust bearing. Below are the specific reasons for shock absorber abnormal noises: Shock Absorber Oil Leakage: When a shock absorber leaks oil, the interior of the shock tube cannot be effectively lubricated, resulting in significant friction noises during operation. Aging of the Top Mount Thrust Bearing: The thrust bearing is located in the engine compartment. Open the hood and press down on the car body to listen if the noise is coming from the top mount of the shock absorber. If so, it is likely due to the aging of the thrust bearing. If the shock absorber spring is deformed or broken, the only solution is to replace the entire shock absorber spring.
