Only the top-tier connected flagship model of the new Excelle is equipped with an automatic rearview mirror folding function; other models do not have this feature. Press the rearview mirror adjustment button downward to fold it. For other models without electric folding functionality, lift the mirror slightly upwards first, then push it firmly towards the door to fold it.

Folding the mirrors on the Buick Excelle is actually quite simple, with two scenarios: power folding and manual folding. For power folding, there's usually a mirror adjustment knob on the driver's door armrest area. Just rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise to the folding icon position, and the mirrors will automatically retract—you'll clearly hear the motor sound during operation. Manual folding is much more straightforward: stand beside the car and push the mirror base outward with your hand; a little force will fold it. Just remember not to pull on the mirror glass to avoid damaging the wiring. It's best to fold them during routine car washes to prevent scratches, and don't forget to fold them in tight parking spaces to save room. I used to manually fold them on the older model, but newer versions mostly come with power folding, which is much more convenient and avoids the hassle of getting your hands dirty in the rain.

Will changing the color of brake calipers pass the annual inspection?

Changing the color of brake calipers can pass the annual inspection, but it is not recommended. The following are the specific details: 1. The annual inspection may fail only if the vehicle's lighting performance does not meet the standards, the vehicle has braking faults, the vehicle's exhaust emissions do not meet the standards, or there are unresolved traffic violation records. It is important to keep the vehicle's appearance consistent with the driving license; 2. The brake caliper is a major component of disc brakes, equipped with a brake caliper piston that pushes the brake pads to contact the brake disc, generating braking force. Each wheel brake has only one caliper; 3. Depending on the number of caliper pistons, calipers are divided into floating and fixed types. Floating calipers can move axially along the brake disc, with pistons arranged on one side, typically having only one piston. Fixed calipers have pistons arranged oppositely, with an even number of pistons.

Will the Engine Stall in Second Gear at Idle Speed?

When driving below 10 km/h in second gear, the engine will not stall for the following reasons. First, most vehicles have an idle speed of around 10 km/h in second gear, and the recommended speed range for second gear is between 5 km/h and 30 km/h (although higher speeds are possible, they are not ideal for the vehicle). Therefore, as long as the car is moving, it generally won't stall. However, when accelerating, it's important to use the clutch partially engaged (semi-clutch) to start, otherwise the gears may clash, potentially causing severe damage to the vehicle. Alternatively, shifting down to first gear for acceleration is the best approach. Here’s a quick guide to the speed ranges for different gears: 1. In first gear, the speed range is 0 km/h to 10 km/h. 2. In second gear, the speed range is 10 km/h to 30 km/h. 3. In third gear, the speed range is 20 km/h to 40 km/h. 4. In fourth gear, the speed range is 30 km/h to 50 km/h. 5. In fifth gear, the speed range is 50 km/h and above.

What Causes the Brake to Shake?

The reasons for feeling brake shake when pressing the brake pedal are as follows: 1. The brake disc surface is uneven, with excessive radial runout. During braking, the brake pads intermittently contact the brake disc, causing fluctuating braking force and resulting in vehicle vibration, especially noticeable when lightly pressing the brake. 2. Significant deviation in wheel alignment data, particularly incorrect front wheel alignment angles or excessive toe-in. This makes the vehicle difficult to control during acceleration, with slight but noticeable discomfort while driving. 3. Tire pressure is either too high or too low. Overinflated tires cause more severe vibration at higher speeds, while underinflated tires lead to a floating sensation and pulling to one side. Specific tire-related causes of brake shake include: 1. Wheel rim deformation. When mounted on a deformed rim, the tire also deforms, leading to an uneven surface and unbalanced wheel dynamics, causing vibration while driving. 2. Abnormal tire wear. Due to incorrect wheel alignment or rim deformation, the tire surface wears unevenly, resulting in vehicle vibration during driving.

What to Do When the Cigarette Lighter Won't Pop Out?

If the car cigarette lighter won't pop out, it might be due to a blown fuse, which needs to be replaced. The lighter also won't pop out if it hasn't finished heating. Another possible cause is a spring issue; frequent insertion and ejection of the lighter can loosen the spring over time. In this case, simply remove the lighter and inspect the spring. Below are the usage guidelines for cigarette lighters: 1. Unplug external devices before turning off the engine; do not leave them connected to the lighter. During vehicle startup, external devices connected to the lighter can be damaged by the high current surge. 2. Avoid leaving external devices plugged into the lighter for extended periods. Depending on the vehicle's settings, some lighters remain powered even when the car is off, which can enhance the safety of external devices. 3. Avoid plugging, unplugging, or shaking external devices while in use, as this can deform the plug's curved spring, leading to loose connections and poor conductivity. 4. Avoid repeatedly bumping the lighter plug while operating the car, as this can cause it to become loose.

Can a car with LED lights pass the annual inspection?

Whether modified LED headlights can pass the annual inspection depends on the specifications and performance of the modified headlights. If the color temperature, brightness, and beam angle of the modified headlights meet the national requirements and do not affect driving safety, they can pass the inspection. The inspection mainly focuses on two aspects: Whether the brightness meets the requirements, meaning the brightness must be at least 1,400 lumens. Whether the beam angle is compliant, as long as the high and low beam angles are normal. Essentially, as long as the modified LED headlights do not compromise driving safety, they can pass the inspection. Relevant regulations for the annual vehicle inspection: Vehicles that fail the inspection must be repaired within a specified period. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and prohibit further use. Vehicles that do not undergo the inspection without valid reasons or fail the inspection are not allowed to be driven on the road or transferred. Vehicles that meet the scrapping conditions or exceed the prescribed service life will not be inspected, and their license plates will be revoked, their records deleted, and they will be scrapped.

How many liters of oil should be added to the Roewe RX5?

The Roewe RX5 requires 5L of engine oil. Below is relevant information about the Roewe RX5: 1. The Roewe RX5 is equipped with either a 1.5T or 2.0T direct-injection turbocharged engine. 2. The operation of the turbocharger generates high temperatures and high rotational speeds, placing higher demands on the lubricating properties of the engine oil. Therefore, the engine has stringent oil requirements and necessitates the use of full synthetic oil. 3. According to the recommendations in the Roewe RX5's "Maintenance Manual," the vehicle is suitable for 5W-30 full synthetic oil, with a fill quantity of 5L. 4. Using an inappropriate oil type may lead to abnormal engine noises and could even increase the likelihood of engine seizure.
