It is recommended to visit a service station for inspection. There is a special function in TECH2 that can display the cause of the anti-theft alarm and its location. The maintenance technicians at the after-sales service center will complete the inspection based on the computer data. Below is some relevant information: 1. The Buick Excelle, based on General Motors' global platform, is derived from the latest globally developed mid-size sedan by General Motors, primarily designed and developed by GM Daewoo Auto & Technology (GMDAT); 2. The Buick Excelle is positioned as an entry-level family car, featuring a dynamic exterior and high-quality interior, offering a premium experience for 'your first car'.

My Buick Excelle keeps alarming for no reason, which is really annoying. It's usually the anti-theft system being triggered by mistake, like when the vibration sensor is too sensitive on windy days. You can first check if there's any debris stuck in the door handle sensor, or repeatedly lock and unlock the car with the remote key to reset it. Sometimes loose battery terminals or unstable voltage can also cause this—try disconnecting the negative terminal for a few minutes and then reconnecting it. If that doesn't work, it might be a faulty trunk sensor; clean the contact points. I suggest avoiding parking in windy areas or on uneven surfaces to reduce false alarms. If the problem is severe, parts may need replacement—don't delay until it becomes a bigger issue. If you can't fix it yourself, take it to a reliable repair shop.

Last time, my Excelle kept alarming randomly at night, annoying the neighbors. I found out it was due to the remote control button being stuck or low battery power, and replacing the new battery solved the problem. Check if the door, hood, and trunk switches have poor contact, and manually press them a few times to see. When the alarm goes off, immediately unlock or start the car with the key, which usually stops it right away. I also found a method online: get in the car, close the door, and hold the unlock button for 10 seconds to reset the system. Regularly clean the vehicle to prevent dust from accumulating on the sensors. For prevention, try to park on level ground and avoid interfering with the wiring when installing audio equipment. If simple fixes don’t work, professional inspection is needed.

False alarms from the car security system are often caused by control module or wiring issues. Check the fuse box for security-related fuses, remove them for 10 seconds, then reinsert to reset. Inspect sensors around the vehicle body (like door sensors) for misalignment or dirt - clean and reposition them. If you've modified circuits (e.g. audio system), restoring factory settings can eliminate interference. The key is maintaining stable battery power: voltage fluctuations trigger false alarms, so ensure terminal connections are tight. For DIY checks, use a multimeter to test for short circuits, but avoid tampering if unqualified. During normal driving, avoid excessive vehicle vibration.

What is the Best Material for Spark Plugs?

Spark plugs made of platinum and iridium are considered the best materials. Components of a Spark Plug: A spark plug mainly consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. Types of Spark Plugs: The main types of spark plugs include: standard spark plugs, projected insulator spark plugs, electrode-type spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, and surface-gap spark plugs. Working Principle of Spark Plugs: Under high voltage, the air between the center electrode and side electrode of the spark plug rapidly ionizes, forming positively charged ions and negatively charged free electrons. When the voltage between the electrodes reaches a certain level, the number of ions and electrons in the gas increases like an avalanche, causing the air to lose its insulating properties and forming a discharge channel in the gap, resulting in a "breakdown" phenomenon. At this point, the gas becomes a luminous body, known as a "spark." Along with thermal expansion, a "crackling" sound is also produced. The temperature of this electric spark can reach as high as 2000-3000°C, which is sufficient to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine's combustion chamber.

At what mileage should fuel additives start to be used?

Fuel additives should start to be used at 20,000 kilometers. Mileage for using fuel additives: Fuel additives are unnecessary for new vehicles with less than 20,000 kilometers. For vehicles exceeding 20,000 kilometers, they should be added as needed, typically one small bottle per tank of fuel. Long-term use of fuel additives can be harmful to the engine. Excessive use can increase carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, and prolonged overuse may even lead to engine knocking, detonation, and worsened vehicle emissions. Precautions for using fuel additives: New vehicles are not recommended to add fuel additives because they haven't been driven much, and their operating conditions are usually good, with no serious carbon deposits, so additives are unnecessary. Frequent use of fuel additives is not advisable, as it can lead to oil sludge and gum formation, increasing carbon deposits in the combustion chamber. They should be added based on the vehicle's usage. For severe carbon deposits, manual cleaning is still required; fuel additives are not a miracle solution. For vehicles with severe carbon deposits, manual treatment is necessary, as fuel additives cannot completely remove them. For older vehicles, the oil filter should be cleaned or replaced before adding fuel additives. Use fuel additives cautiously and add them reasonably according to the vehicle's condition.

What does it mean when the electric car charger shows a yellow light?

Electric vehicle charging showing a yellow light may be due to the battery being fully charged and not requiring further charging. It could also indicate damage to the electric vehicle's battery or the charger itself. Below is additional information: Specific reasons: When the electric vehicle charger is first plugged in, it shows a red light (indicating charging is in progress), then switches to a yellow light (indicating a false full charge). Continuing to charge for one to two hours will result in a true full charge. If this is the case, there is no need to worry as it is a normal part of the charging process; the electric vehicle is only falsely indicating a full charge. Precautions: Avoid storing the battery in a depleted state. A depleted state refers to when the battery is not charged promptly after use. In this state, sulfation is likely to occur, with lead sulfate crystals adhering to the plates, blocking ion channels, leading to insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. The longer the battery remains idle in a depleted state, the more severe the damage. When the battery is not in use, it should be charged once a month to extend its lifespan. Regular inspection: Regular checks are essential. If the electric bicycle's range suddenly drops by more than ten kilometers in a short period during use, it is highly likely that at least one battery in the pack has issues such as broken cells, softened plates, or shedding of active material from the plates, causing a short circuit. In such cases, promptly visit a professional battery repair facility for inspection, repair, or replacement.

Why does the AC light turn on automatically when the heater is on?

The reasons why the AC light turns on automatically when the heater is on are as follows: 1. It is caused by turning on the windshield defogger switch. 2. It is due to the design by the manufacturer's engineers. Simply press the AC button to turn it off, which will not affect the use of the car heater. Precautions for using the car heater: 1. Turning on the heater will increase fuel consumption. The car heater and air conditioner operate on completely different principles. When turning on the heater, do not press the A/C button, as it is the compressor start button. Simply adjust the air volume to blow out warm air. 2. Do not turn on the heater immediately after starting the engine. It is recommended to drive for a while until the water temperature gauge reaches the middle position or the blue indicator light goes off before using the heater. It is also advisable to first turn on the external circulation to expel the cold air inside the car, then switch to internal circulation after a few minutes to enjoy the warm air. 3. When fog forms inside the car, you can adjust the heater's airflow direction to blow toward the windshield. The warm air will quickly dry the moisture on the glass, and as the glass temperature rises, the fog will no longer condense. 4. Turn off the heater before shutting down the engine, as prolonged use can damage the engine and shorten its lifespan. 5. During winter, the car interior is often in a sealed state. It is recommended to replace the air filter in advance to prevent respiratory diseases.
