To check the fuel consumption display on the Excelle, you need to locate the menu button on the LCD screen. Press the button to navigate through the pages, where you can find the instantaneous fuel consumption and average fuel consumption pages. Here is a related introduction to the Buick Excelle: 1. Introduction: The Buick Excelle is the fourth model produced by the Buick brand based on General Motors' latest global platform, following the new Regal, new LaCrosse, and Enclave. The Excelle originates from the Opel Astra and is built on the GM Global DeltaⅡ platform. The name "Excelle" not only perfectly interprets the innate spirited temperament and crisp, bold lines of this five-door coupe but also injects new contemporary connotations into the Buick brand spirit. 2. Checking Fuel Consumption: On the Excelle, there is a rotary ring on the left side of the steering wheel, near the high/low beam lever. Rotating this ring allows you to view instantaneous fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, trip meter, average speed, and remaining fuel range. Pressing and holding the button at the top of the lever can reset these values. 3. Instantaneous Fuel Consumption: Instantaneous fuel consumption indicates the fuel consumption at a specific moment. The display unit is "liters per 100 kilometers (L/100Km)" when the vehicle is in motion and "liters per hour (L/H)" when the engine is running but the vehicle is stationary. Average fuel consumption refers to the fuel consumption per hour over the entire distance traveled.

I've been driving a Buick Excelle for three years, and the most direct way to check fuel consumption is through the display in the center of the dashboard. Press the square button on the left side of the steering wheel to switch to the fuel information page, where you can see real-time and average fuel consumption. In city traffic jams, the highest I've seen is 9.5 liters per 100 km, while on suburban roads with good conditions, it's usually just over 7 liters. Weekend highway drives are the most fuel-efficient, with cruise control set at 100 km/h consuming only about 5.8 liters. A full tank shows a range of 500 km, but in reality, it's about 50 km less. Remember to maintain tire pressure at 2.5 bar; insufficient pressure can increase fuel consumption by half a liter. Also, using the air conditioning has a noticeable impact, consuming about 1 liter more in summer compared to spring and autumn. I keep monthly records using the Xiaoxiong Fuel Consumption app to log each refuel and mileage, which is more accurate than the dashboard display. Over three years, my fuel consumption has remained stable at 7.9L/100km, making it quite worry-free overall.

Do You Need to Cross the Zebra Crossing When Making a U-Turn?

It depends: If the gap is marked with a solid line, you must cross the zebra crossing to make a U-turn and are subject to traffic signals; if the gap is marked with a dashed line, you do not need to cross the zebra crossing to make a U-turn and are not affected by traffic signals. You can make a U-turn directly as long as it does not interfere with other normally moving vehicles and ensures your own safety. Note that making a U-turn on the zebra crossing is prohibited. Violators will be penalized with a 3-point deduction and a fine according to Article 49 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China." If you need to cross the zebra crossing to make a U-turn, you must yield to pedestrians: Pedestrians walking on the right side of the crosswalk without reaching the centerline of the road. Vehicles on the left side of the road should slow down and, based on ensuring safety, allow them to pass through the crosswalk. Pedestrians waiting outside the boundary line of the motorized and non-motorized lanes. If they have not entered the road, vehicles should slow down and, based on ensuring safety, allow them to pass through the crosswalk. When pedestrians cross the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. After pedestrians enter the motorized lane (Lane A) along the crosswalk, vehicles in Lane B should slow down and, based on ensuring safety, allow them to pass through the crosswalk. If vehicles in Lane A do not stop and yield, it is a violation and should be penalized. Pedestrians waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane. Vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. Pedestrians crossing the centerline of the road and entering the motorized lane. Vehicles that do not stop and yield are committing a violation and should be penalized. When pedestrians are separated by a green belt in the middle of the road and waiting in the central stopping area, vehicles must slow down and, based on ensuring safety, allow them to pass through the crosswalk. Cases where U-turns are allowed: Intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at the intersection, you can make a U-turn. If there is a U-turn signal light, follow its instructions. If there is no signal light, make a U-turn based on the specific situation without interfering with other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit prohibitions on U-turns or left turns: If there is no explicit prohibition on U-turns, you can make a U-turn. "No explicit prohibition" means the intersection has no "No U-turn" or "No left turn" signs, and the centerline is not solid. In such cases, you can confidently make a U-turn. Yellow grid lines also allow U-turns: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, entrances of important institutions, and other necessary locations. Any vehicle stopping on these lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is violating traffic rules. Although parking is prohibited in yellow grid zones, U-turns are allowed. As long as there is no central barrier, yellow grid lines are equivalent to "U-turn permitted." Intersections with U-turn signal lights: This is straightforward. If there is a U-turn signal light, you must wait for the green light to make a U-turn. When "No left turn" and "U-turn permitted" signs appear together: U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. However, "No U-turn" is not the same as "No left turn." Things to note when making a U-turn at an intersection: Observe road markings. If they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable location for a U-turn. If there is a "No left turn" sign ahead, even if there is no mention of prohibiting U-turns, you cannot make a U-turn at that intersection because U-turns and left turns are similar actions, and a U-turn always involves a left turn first. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, you cannot make a U-turn at that intersection.

How Many Years Can a BMW 3 Series Generally Last?

The lifespan of a BMW 3 Series is not determined by its age but by its mileage. The national guideline suggests scrapping the car when it reaches 600,000 kilometers. Here are some methods to extend the car's lifespan: 1. Maintain good driving habits: The owner's driving style significantly impacts the car's longevity. Good driving habits not only reduce wear and tear but also save fuel. Drive gently, accelerate slowly, and anticipate braking to avoid sudden stops. In cold weather, warm up the car first to allow the lubricant to circulate freely throughout the system and fully lubricate all internal components. 2. Regular cleaning and weight reduction are important: Take care of the car's exterior with periodic washing and waxing, and don't neglect the interior cleaning. Spend time cleaning instead of just using air fresheners to mask odors, and regularly vacuum the carpets. 3. Choose a trusted repair shop: If you visit different shops each time, every technician will need time to familiarize themselves with your car, conduct thorough inspections, identify potential issues, and then address them. This process can take longer and may cost more.
