When closing the sunroof, you need to hold down the sunroof close button continuously. If the sunroof glass stops moving, it means it is fully closed. Below is some relevant information about the Excelle: 1. The Excelle is a compact car under the Buick brand. The dimensions of this car are 4609 mm in length, 1798 mm in width, and 1464 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2640 mm. 2. The Excelle is equipped with two engines: a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.3L turbocharged engine. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivers 113 horsepower and a maximum torque of 141 Nm. The maximum power output of this engine is achieved at 6000 rpm, and the maximum torque is available at 4400 rpm. This engine features DVVT technology and multi-point fuel injection, and it uses an aluminum cylinder head and a cast iron cylinder block. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission (6AT). The 1.3L turbocharged engine produces 163 horsepower and a maximum torque of 230 Nm.

Having driven the New Excelle for many years, I've developed a habit to confirm the sunroof is fully closed: first press the console close button, wait for it to slide slowly, the sunroof position sensor will detect when it's completely closed and automatically lock, at which point the button stops flashing and emits a slight click sound, or check if the interior indicator light turns green. Then, look up to inspect the glass edges for any gaps, and give it a gentle manual push—if it doesn't budge, it's sealed tight. This process is crucial because an improperly closed sunroof can lead to wind and water leaks, especially risky during rain or high-speed driving. It's advisable to clean debris from the tracks monthly to prevent jamming. If issues persist, it might be due to dust in the tracks or a sensor malfunction; timely inspection at the dealership can avoid major repairs. Cultivate the habit of taking an extra glance before exiting the car to ensure worry-free driving safety.
As a new Excelle owner, I find it quite intuitive to determine if the sunroof is properly closed. After pressing the close button, the motor starts with a buzzing noise, and when the sound completely stops, it indicates the sunroof is in position. From inside the car, check that no light or gaps are visible through the sunroof glass, and feel the surface to ensure it's smooth without any protrusions. Don't forget an external inspection – when properly closed, the rubber seals should fit tightly against the roof. I once experienced strange noises due to weather changes and realized the sunroof was slightly open, so now I make it a habit to double-check. Regular cleaning of the tracks with a soft cloth to remove dust helps prevent jamming and extends its lifespan. Simply put, sensory experience is key – listen for sounds, check for light, and feel with your hands to get the job done.
