I was driving a 2014 Buick GL8, and the dashboard was all in English, which was quite annoying, so I figured out how to change it to Chinese. Simple steps: First, start the car, but don't rush to drive. Look for the navigation button on the left side of the steering wheel, press it to browse the menu; find Settings or Config, use the directional keys to enter the options, and there should be a Language option. Select Chinese, confirm, and exit. If there's no language option in the menu, it's likely due to software restrictions—don't force it. You'll need to visit a 4S shop. They'll use a diagnostic tool plugged into the OBD port to flash the program, which takes about ten minutes and costs a few dozen yuan. After the change, the display is much clearer in Chinese, improving driving safety, especially at night when everything is instantly readable. It's recommended to check the dashboard system during regular maintenance.

Is It Normal for a Car's Steering Rod to Rust?

It is a normal phenomenon. More extended information is as follows: Overview: Even some high-end cars do not spend money on treatment because these parts are not directly visible during use and do not pose any safety hazards. Therefore, many manufacturers do not treat the steering column, and only some drivers or car owners discover this issue during maintenance, making it relatively common. Treatment Method: Use fine sandpaper to remove and clean the rust on the steering shaft, then melt white candle wax at high temperature and apply the melted wax to the metal part of the steering shaft. The thickness of the wax application can be determined by yourself. This wax application method can provide moisture-proof and air-isolating effects, preventing rust for several years.
