The method to check the fuel gauge on a Buick Excelle is: The fuel gauge is displayed in letter form, where 'E' indicates low fuel level and 'F' indicates sufficient fuel. Taking the 2021 Buick Excelle Automatic Light Hybrid Base Model as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of: length 4609mm, width 1798mm, height 1486mm, wheelbase 2640mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 45L. The 2021 Buick Excelle Automatic Light Hybrid Base Model is equipped with a 1.3L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163PS and a maximum power speed of 5500rpm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

I remember when I first started driving the Buick Excelle, figuring out the fuel gauge took some effort. The large round dial behind the steering wheel is the instrument cluster, with the fuel gauge prominently located at the bottom right corner. It's a dial with a fuel pump icon - when the needle points to 'F' it means full tank, while 'E' indicates nearing empty. I've developed the habit of glancing at the needle position before driving, especially on long trips; once it drops to the quarter mark, I start looking for gas stations. For newer models with LCD screens, digital readouts make it even more intuitive - displaying percentage or remaining range instantly clarifies whether you've got enough fuel. Oh, and don't overlook the instant fuel consumption display either; cultivating good driving habits based on this can save significant fuel costs.

Friend, you're asking about the fuel gauge location? Simply put, it's right behind the steering wheel on the right side of the instrument cluster. After starting the car, it's the round gauge on the far right with a fuel pump icon - needle pointing up means plenty of fuel, pointing down means running low. My neighbor who commutes in an Excelle always complains about only remembering to refuel when the needle hits the red zone, which actually damages the fuel pump. Nowadays, newer cars display remaining mileage directly on the center screen - when the yellow light comes on, there's about 8 liters left. Get in the habit of glancing at the gauge regularly; when the needle passes halfway, start planning your refuel since scrambling for gas stations last minute is quite inconvenient.

Checking the fuel level in the Excelle is really easy! After starting the car, look at the far right of the instrument panel – the fan-shaped area with an oil drop or fuel pump icon is your fuel gauge. When the needle is near F, it means full tank; when it slides toward E, it's time to refuel. The red needle in older models is particularly eye-catching – I check it five or six times daily while shuttling my kids. I noticed the gauge drops slightly faster when the AC is on, so I later activated the digital fuel display via the trip computer – in newer models, just use the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the vehicle information section, where remaining range and fuel percentage are clearly shown. Once I drove about 30 kilometers after the needle hit the red line before refueling – thinking back, that was quite risky.

The fuel gauge at the bottom right of the dashboard is particularly eye-catching, featuring a fuel pump icon with a needle pointer. When I first picked up the car, the salesperson mentioned that when the needle points to the quarter mark, there's roughly 10 liters left in the tank. Now, with my daily 70-kilometer commute, I always make sure the needle is above the halfway mark before heading out. Once, while rushing a client to the airport, the fuel warning light came on, and I had to grit my teeth until I could refuel after exiting the highway. These days, I heavily rely on the trip computer's range indicator—pressing the right steering wheel button to switch to 'Trip Info' and seeing the remaining kilometers pop up gives me peace of mind. The yellow low-fuel warning light suggests you can still drive about 50 kilometers, but don't push your luck like I did.

How many points are deducted for the front of the car sweeping the line during curve driving?

No points are deducted for the front of the car sweeping the line during curve driving. Below are the relevant details about the S-curve test: Regulations: Original regulations: If any wheel presses the edge line, 20 points are deducted; crossing the line results in a 100-point deduction. New regulations: If a wheel runs over the road edge line, it is considered a failure; stopping midway is also a failure; driving without the gear in second or higher results in a 5-point deduction. It can be seen that pressing the road edge line deducts 20 points and directly results in a failure. Operation techniques: Before entering the left curve, the vehicle should drive close to the right side, keeping the front corner of the car pressing against the right edge line. When preparing to switch to the right curve, straighten the direction and use the right front corner of the car to press against the left edge line. After the car safely exits the curve, straighten the direction again. During the test, pay attention to the new regulations; stopping midway is not allowed, otherwise the test will be considered a failure.

Is an annual inspection required for cars every year after 6 years?

For non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans) that are over 6 years but less than 10 years old, the inspection frequency has been adjusted from once a year to once every two years. Below is relevant information about the annual inspection: Domestic vehicle inspection: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their attached equipment are clean, complete, and effective, and whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing. Test the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety features. Verify whether the vehicle has been modified, altered, or transformed, and whether the driving license, license plate, and all vehicle registration records match the actual condition of the vehicle. Out-of-town vehicle inspection: Before applying, the vehicle owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. The owner needs to obtain a vehicle inspection delegation notice from the vehicle management office at the vehicle's registration location, authorizing an out-of-town vehicle management office to conduct the inspection. To apply for the delegation notice, the applicant must bring their ID card, the original vehicle registration certificate, and a copy.

What is the Difference Between an Auto Trading Company and a 4S Store?

The differences between an auto trading company and a 4S store lie in the variety of vehicles, service and environment, and after-sales service. The specifics are as follows: Vehicle variety: In most auto trading companies, the vehicles sold are quite diverse, featuring various brands and models, but the specific models and configurations for each brand may not be comprehensive. Service and environment: Since the staff at 4S stores undergo systematic training, the quality of service is generally better than that at auto trading companies. Additionally, 4S stores are built by dealers according to the standards set by automobile manufacturers, featuring unified interior and exterior designs with significant investments, often amounting to tens of millions, creating a luxurious, grand, and comfortable environment. 4S stores also have dedicated customer rest areas, entertainment zones, and more complete supporting facilities compared to auto trading companies. After-sales service: At 4S stores, customers can enjoy vehicle after-sales services with assured quality. In contrast, most auto trading companies offer limited or no warranties, which are generally less comprehensive than those at 4S stores.

What are the car gears?

1.P——Parking: When parking and not in use, the gear is in this position, where the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. 2.R——Reverse: Used for reversing. 3.N——Neutral: Used for temporary stops (e.g., at a red light). Note that this gear indicates neutral, and to prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, the brake must be pressed. 4.D——Drive: Also known as the driving gear. This gear is used when moving forward. 5.2——Second, low gear: Can be used to start moving forward when climbing a steep slope or starting on a relatively inclined slope. The principle is that by shifting to this gear, the car's gear is automatically limited to only low gears (equivalent to first and second gears in a manual transmission car), ensuring the car obtains maximum forward power. 6.L——Low, low gear: When going downhill or descending a long slope, shifting to this gear limits the car's gear to only the lowest gear (equivalent to first gear in a manual transmission car), allowing the car to use engine power for braking when going downhill, preventing the driver from having to press the brake for a long time, which could overheat the brake pads and cause danger.
