First, pull the lever under the driver's compartment, then go to the front center. With one hand pulling the hood upwards and the other hand reaching into the center gap, you will find a latch inside. Pull it firmly to the right to open the hood. Below is an introduction to the Buick Envision: 1. The fuel system technology and processes have been further refined to improve combustion efficiency. Additionally, the entire three-way catalytic converter assembly has been upgraded, significantly reducing particulate and gaseous pollutant emissions. 2. In addition to the upgraded emission standards, the 2019 Buick Envision has undergone a comprehensive revamp of the powertrain for the National VI-compliant 20T model. It is equipped with a newly calibrated 1.5T-SIDI direct-injection turbocharged engine and an upgraded 7-speed DCG dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 124kW (169PS)/5600rpm and a maximum torque of 250N·m/1700-4400rpm. The 28T model continues to feature the 2.0T-SIDI direct-injection turbocharged engine, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, offering a maximum power of 191kW (260PS) and a maximum torque of 400N·m.

I've been driving my Buick Envision for several years, and opening the hood is a simple two-step process. First, while sitting in the driver's seat, locate the lever or trigger near your left foot by the door frame—it might have a hood symbol icon. Pull it firmly all the way until you hear a click, which means the hood is released. Second, quickly move to the front of the car. Right below the Buick emblem, there's a small hook or button. Reach in with your hand and gently lift or press upward—the hood will pop open automatically. Then, just secure it with the support rod. Don’t force it if it feels stuck; try spraying some rust remover if needed. I check the engine oil and coolant every month—rust can build up if the hood isn’t opened often. Maintaining your car starts with this!

What does it mean when the oil light turns yellow?

The yellow oil light indicates insufficient oil level. If the vehicle hasn't reached its scheduled maintenance time, it reminds the owner to promptly add engine oil. Insufficient oil typically affects the overall lubrication effectiveness of the engine, especially for components relying on crankshaft splash lubrication, leading to accelerated wear or even damage. Below is relevant information about the yellow oil light: 1. When the engine yellow light comes on, it doesn't necessarily mean low oil level. This light is called the engine malfunction indicator lamp. If it illuminates, it indicates a fault in the engine or its auxiliary components, but specific fault information can only be detected using professional diagnostic equipment. Common causes for the engine malfunction indicator include oxygen sensor failure, knocking, or severe carbon buildup. 2. In most cases, the illumination of the engine malfunction indicator is largely caused by severe carbon deposits. This shouldn't be ignored as engine carbon deposits tend to accumulate in the throttle body and combustion chamber, affecting normal engine operation.

What Does the Battery Model Number Mean?

Automotive battery model numbers convey the following information: 2V indicates the battery voltage is 12V; 70AH represents the battery's current value of 70A (AH); SAE denotes the American standard, while EN signifies the European standard, reflecting their respective design standards. 120RC refers to the full discharge time under specific voltage conditions according to certain standards (such as Asian or American standards). 760CCA indicates the energy value under full discharge (current) at specific voltage conditions. Below is additional information about automotive battery model numbers: 1. Other numbers or model codes include: 6: indicates the battery consists of 6 cells, each with 2V, totaling a 12V battery. DZM: stands for electric vehicle (D) power-assisted sealed lead-acid battery (ZM). 14.6: the maximum charge voltage for this battery is 14.6. Additional references: A. Currently, domestic battery models are mainly categorized into: National Standard, Japanese Standard, German Standard, American Standard, etc. B. Example demonstration using the "National Standard." 2. Special identifiers: DF appended to the model number indicates low-temperature reverse connection, e.g., 6-QA-160DF; D appended denotes good low-temperature starting performance, e.g., 6-QA-120D; HD appended signifies high vibration resistance type.

What is the function of the cruise control system?

The cruise control system has the following five basic functions: 1. Speed setting: When the speed setting switch is pressed, the current driving speed can be stored and maintained. 2. Cancel function: When the brake pedal is pressed, the above function immediately disappears. However, the set speed continues to be stored. 3. Resume function: When the resume switch is pressed, the original speed can be restored. 4. Speed fine-tuning decrease. 5. Speed fine-tuning increase. The cruise control system is not suitable for all situations. It should be used on highways or fully enclosed roads. Because on non-enclosed roads, complex road conditions are not conducive to traffic safety.

What to Do If the Car Pulls to One Side After Wheel Alignment?

If the car pulls to one side after wheel alignment, it may be due to inaccurate alignment equipment. Before performing a wheel alignment, it is essential to check whether the steering linkage in the chassis is deformed or misaligned. If there are issues that are not identified and addressed, the car may still pull to one side after the alignment. Here is some information about wheel alignment: 1. Wheel alignment adjusts the geometric angles of the tires, steering, and suspension components to ensure tight contact between the tires and the ground. 2. Wheel alignment includes two main components: front wheel alignment and rear wheel alignment. Front wheel alignment consists of four elements: caster angle, kingpin inclination angle, camber angle, and toe angle. Rear wheel alignment includes camber angle and toe angle. Professional equipment, known as a wheel alignment machine, is required for performing wheel alignment.

How to Measure the Condition of an Oxygen Sensor?

By observing the color of the oxygen sensor's tip, you can also determine faults. Here are the relevant details: 1. Light gray tip: This is the normal color of an oxygen sensor. 2. White tip: Caused by silicon contamination, the oxygen sensor must be replaced. 3. Brown tip: Caused by lead contamination; if severe, the oxygen sensor must also be replaced. 4. Black tip: Caused by carbon deposits. After addressing the engine's carbon deposit issue, the deposits on the oxygen sensor can generally be cleared automatically. The main oxygen sensor includes a heating rod for the zirconium oxide element, controlled by the ECU. When the air intake is low (exhaust temperature is low), current flows to the heating rod to warm the sensor, enabling precise detection of oxygen concentration. Inside and outside the zirconium oxide element (ZrO2) in the test tube state, platinum electrodes are installed. To protect the platinum electrodes, the outer side is coated with ceramic. The inner side is exposed to oxygen concentration higher than atmospheric levels, while the outer side is exposed to oxygen concentration lower than the vehicle's exhaust gas concentration. It should be noted that after installing a three-way catalytic converter, unleaded gasoline must be used; otherwise, both the catalytic converter and the oxygen sensor will quickly fail.
