Because Trumpchi uses a mechanical lock, the fuel tank cap is opened with a button. As long as it is a model with a mechanical lock, you can open the fuel tank cap via the button inside the car. The location of the fuel tank cap switch is below the left side of the steering wheel, which is the far left of the driver's control panel. Pressing the button will automatically pop open the fuel tank cap, which is located on the side of the co-driver. Many novice drivers often get confused when entering a gas station. The press-to-open fuel tank door is currently a very convenient method. After the owner parks the car, the gas attendant can directly refuel.

As a GAC Motor owner, let me share how to open the fuel tank cap. The usual method is quite simple: First, sit in the driver's seat and check if the key is properly inserted or if the doors are unlocked. Then, look down at the corner near your left foot for a small lever or button. Gently pull or press it, and the fuel tank cap will pop open automatically. At this point, exit the vehicle, go to the fuel filler neck, press the cap, and turn it clockwise to fully open it. If you can't find the lever, there might be a fuel tank icon button on the panel to the left of the steering wheel—just press it. Different GAC Motor models like the GS4 and GA8 might have slight design variations, so it's advisable to ensure the engine is turned off before refueling to prevent safety risks. During routine maintenance, take a moment to check if the fuel tank cap's sealing ring is worn out to avoid water ingress. These small details can save you a lot of trouble.

Where is the car heater button located?

There is no button for the car heater, only a knob. Turn the temperature knob to the red area on the right to activate the heating mode. Precautions for using the car heater: After starting the car, wait 8-15 minutes for the water temperature to rise to normal levels before turning on the heater. Adjust the air conditioning circulation mode to heating mode, which is the red area. The heater works by utilizing the car's own heat circulation system and adjusting the fan speed. The air conditioning settings can be adjusted to control the air vents. If the car is parked for an extended period, turn off the heater promptly, roll down the windows to allow fresh air in, and avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

Why is it necessary to change transmission oil regularly?

Reasons for regular transmission oil changes: 1. Transmission oil is gear oil for the transmission, and power steering fluid is the hydraulic fluid that allows the power steering pump to function properly; 2. Transmission oil is added to the gearbox, and without it, internal gears would experience dry friction, leading to gear wear. Both automatic and manual transmissions require transmission oil. Transmission oil is divided into manual transmission oil and automatic transmission oil. Manual transmission oil serves to lubricate gears and bearings, while automatic transmission oil not only lubricates gears but also functions in hydraulic power transmission. Gear oil lubricates transmission gears, and in the case of automatic transmission fluid for automatic vehicles, it also plays a role in power transmission.

What does TC mean in Chinese for cars?

TC displayed on the car dashboard indicates that the vehicle's traction control system is activated. Introduction to TC: TC stands for Traction Control System, which can improve the vehicle's passability. When the ABS anti-lock braking system detects wheel slippage, it brakes the slipping wheels to prevent traction loss. When the system is operating, the yellow TC indicator light on the dashboard flashes to alert the driver. How TC works: When the traction control system detects via electronic sensors that the speed of the driven wheels is lower than that of the driving wheels, it sends a signal to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, decrease fuel supply, downshift, or brake the wheels to prevent further slippage.
