The Buick Excelle only equips the automatic folding function for rearview mirrors in its top-tier Internet Flagship model. To fold the mirrors, press the mirror adjustment button downward. Here is some relevant information: 1. For other models without electric folding functionality, lift the mirror slightly upwards first, then push it firmly toward the door to fold it. When parking by the roadside, it's advisable to fold the mirror on the roadside side to prevent it from being hit by passersby. 2. The side rearview mirrors, located on the left and right exterior of the vehicle, are an important safety feature. They come in two types: manual adjustment and automatic adjustment. Most models on the market today are equipped with electrically adjustable exterior rearview mirrors. Additionally, features such as electric folding, mirror memory, mirror heating, automatic tilt-down in reverse, automatic folding upon locking, and automatic anti-glare are also available.

I've been driving the Excelle for several years and often need to fold the mirrors to save space when parking. Most models of this car come with electric mirrors, which is very simple—after getting in the car, look for a small button on the left side of the driver's door panel or near the steering wheel with a pattern resembling two mirrors bending inward. Press it, and the mirrors will automatically fold in. This is especially useful when parking in tight spots like narrow alleys, avoiding scratches and making parking worry-free. If the electric function fails, don’t panic—just push the mirror firmly toward the car body to fold it manually. For regular maintenance, remember not to force it; push gently to prevent deformation. In rainy or snowy weather, if the mirror is frozen, avoid forcing it to fold, as this can damage the parts. Instead, use warm air or hot water to thaw it first. After a few tries, you’ll get used to this convenient design, which has been a great help for city driving.

What to Do If the Interior Plastic of the Car Gets Scratched?

Here are the solutions for scratches on the car's interior plastic: 1. Generally, toothpaste is used to repair scratches on hard plastic in the car because the chemical components in toothpaste have a certain repairing effect. For light scratches, applying toothpaste and gently rubbing can remove the scratched part, and the plastic will become shiny and clean as new. 2. White vinegar can also effectively remove scratches. First, find an empty spray bottle, pour some white vinegar into it, add water, shake well, spray a few times on the scratched area, and after drying, wipe it with a dry towel. 3. Most car repair shops have specialized scratch repair sprays or repair agents. Just spray a few times on the scratched area and wipe it with a towel. If the scratch is deep, it is not recommended to handle it yourself, as deep scratches usually cannot be removed with general repairs.

What is the function of halogen lamps?

Halogen lamps can replace the function of incandescent lamps, and they have a longer service life, easier brightness adjustment and control, and better color rendering of light. Because halogen bulbs have high luminous efficacy and great illumination brightness, they are suitable for occasions that require concentrated lighting. Working principle: The principle is to inject halogen gases such as iodine or bromine into the bulb. At high temperatures, the sublimated tungsten filament chemically reacts with the halogen, and the cooled tungsten will re-solidify on the tungsten filament, forming a balanced cycle and avoiding premature breakage of the tungsten filament. Therefore, halogen bulbs last longer than incandescent lamps. Impact: Many cars use traditional halogen bulbs, and more than 60% of traffic accidents occur at night or in poor weather conditions. The lighting effect of halogen bulbs is greatly reduced at night or in poor weather conditions. At this time, the driver's vision is severely affected, making them prone to fatigue, distraction, etc., and the probability of traffic accidents increases significantly.

Where is the temperature sensor located on a BMW 5 Series?

The outdoor temperature sensor for the air conditioning system in the BMW 523Li is located beneath the drainage channel in the engine compartment. Temperature Sensor (temperature transducer): Refers to a sensor capable of detecting temperature and converting it into a usable output signal. Temperature sensors are the core components of temperature measurement instruments and come in a wide variety. Based on measurement methods, they can be divided into two main categories: contact and non-contact. According to sensor materials and electronic component characteristics, they are classified into thermal resistors and thermocouples. Contact Temperature Sensor: The detection part of a contact temperature sensor maintains good contact with the measured object, also known as a thermometer. Non-contact Temperature Sensor: Its sensitive element does not come into contact with the measured object, also known as a non-contact temperature measurement instrument. This type of instrument can be used to measure the surface temperature of moving objects, small targets, or objects with small heat capacity or rapid (transient) temperature changes, as well as to measure the temperature distribution within a temperature field.

What is the distance between stakes in the motorcycle test?

In the motorcycle test, the distance between stakes is approximately 1.5 times the length of the motorcycle body. Purpose of the stake test: To assess the ability of motor vehicle drivers to control three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles in curve driving and turning. Precautions: When starting, do not release the clutch lever too abruptly, as this may cause a sudden start and result in failure. Also, do not release the clutch lever too slowly, as this may lead to semi-clutch engagement and failure. After fully releasing the clutch lever, do not keep your hand on the clutch lever. When stopping, do not press the brake pedal or squeeze the brake lever all the way down. It is advisable to press the pedal to about 3/5-4/5 of its full travel. Pressing (or squeezing) it all the way down may cause an excessively abrupt stop and result in failure.

Can motorcycles apply for scrapping?

Motorcycles can apply for scrapping. Vehicle scrapping process: Vehicle owners applying for scrapping and renewal must fill out an "Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, or Scrapping" and affix their seal. Apply at the registration and acceptance counter. For vehicles that have reached the scrapping age limit, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age limit but are deemed to meet the scrapping standards after inspection by the vehicle inspection counter, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner must submit the "Modification Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the application will be submitted for approval according to regulations to complete the scrapping registration.

What Are the Reasons for a Motorcycle's Inability to Shift Gears?

Motorcycle's inability to shift gears may be due to hardware issues, improper operation by the rider, or failure to throttle promptly after shifting. Analysis of reasons for motorcycle's inability to shift gears: Hardware issues, such as excessive or damaged buffer block gaps, or a chain that is too long or has excessive gaps. These hardware problems can cause intermittent power transmission from the engine, leading to abrupt and jerky sensations. If hardware issues are confirmed, promptly replace the relevant parts, as this not only affects comfort but also concerns safety. Improper operation by the rider, such as holding the clutch lever for too long. When shifting gears while holding the clutch lever, the bike is in a coasting deceleration state. If the clutch lever is not released promptly after shifting, the gear increases while the speed decreases. Releasing the clutch lever at this point causes a mismatch between the engine crankshaft speed and the actual speed, resulting in jerking. Failure to throttle promptly after shifting. After releasing the clutch lever, if the throttle returns to the starting point and is not promptly engaged, the engine crankshaft speed and actual speed will mismatch, also causing jerking. Precautions for motorcycle gear shifting: Avoid downshifting at high speeds. The direct harm is gear damage, potentially requiring gearbox repair, akin to surgery for humans. Avoid starting in high gear. Prolonged practice can damage the engine and reduce its lifespan. Avoid incomplete throttle closure during gear shifts.
