First, unlock the car with the key, then press the soft, silicone-like material located under the Buick logo above the license plate to open the trunk. Here is some related information: 1. The Buick GL8 has long been the leader in the domestic MPV market. With the launch of the all-new Buick GL8, the first-generation Buick GL8, commonly known as the "Landcruiser Noodle," has been discontinued. However, to capture more of the family MPV market, Buick introduced a new Buick GL8 Business Travel version based on the second-generation GL8, targeting the MPV market priced at over 200,000 yuan. 2. The new Buick GL8 Business Travel retains the overall design of the second-generation Buick GL8, but the most significant change is the front grille, which has been updated from the original waterfall-style to Buick's latest wing-shaped design. This maintains the vehicle's original business appeal while adding a more dynamic touch, making it more attractive to a broader range of customers.

I've been driving the GL8 for a long time. To open the trunk, I usually press the button on the remote key after unlocking it, which is quite convenient. If the key isn't nearby or the battery is dead, I can simply get into the car and find the trunk release button on the dashboard—just a light press does the trick. There's also a manual lever on the rear door; in case of electronic failure, feel for the groove at the bottom and pull it—it works great as a backup. Regularly clean the lock to prevent dust buildup and apply lubricant. Also, when parking, don’t get too close to walls to leave enough space for the trunk to open—this small oversight has delayed my grocery shopping several times. The GL8 is smartly designed, and familiarizing yourself with these features makes daily use smoother. Long-term experience has taught me that paying attention to these small details can save a lot of hassle.

Do new energy vehicles require purchase tax?

Purchasing new energy vehicles does not require payment of purchase tax. 1. Legal provisions: For users of new energy vehicles, the most concerning issue is naturally whether new energy vehicles are subject to purchase tax. Upon careful reading of the "Vehicle Purchase Tax Law of the People's Republic of China," no relevant provisions were found. 2. Policy provisions: Referring to the "Announcement on Exempting New Energy Vehicles from Vehicle Purchase Tax" jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance, State Taxation Administration, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and Ministry of Science and Technology in 2017, the first article clearly states, "From January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2020, new energy vehicles purchased are exempt from vehicle purchase tax." This means that as long as the new energy vehicle is included in the "Catalog of New Energy Vehicle Models Exempt from Vehicle Purchase Tax" (almost all domestic and joint venture brand new energy models on the market are included in this catalog), no purchase tax will be levied before 2021. Even if it were to be imposed, the earliest would be after 2021.

Where is the best place to put a power bank in the car?

Here are some suggestions on where to place a power bank in the car: 1. Place the power bank in a cool area of the car: Avoid direct sunlight. The power bank can be placed in the glove compartment. The lithium battery in the power bank is sensitive to heat. Generally, it should not be stored in environments above 40°C, and it is best stored below 30°C. If the outside temperature is 36°C, the temperature inside the car can easily reach 50°C after a day in the sun. Keeping lithium batteries in such conditions is not advisable and can pose safety risks. 2. The charging port and discharging port of a power bank are usually separate: The charging port is typically a Micro-USB, while the discharging port mimics the output port of a phone charger (large USB).

Is the failure rate of Mazda CX-5 high?

Mazda CX-5 has a very low failure rate, with generally positive after-sales reviews, making it a compact SUV. The dimensions of Mazda CX-5 are 4555×1840×1710mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. Disadvantages of Mazda CX-5: 1. Noise: The engine noise is mainly noticeable during cold starts and at high RPMs. Due to Mazda CX-5's adoption of the Skyactiv technology, including direct fuel injection, ultra-high compression ratio, and dual variable valve timing, the engine tends to be 'aggressive' and prone to knocking. To address this, engineers incorporated a '4-2-1' exhaust manifold structure, but this resulted in the catalytic converter being positioned far from the exhaust ports, requiring a long time to reach operating temperature. Consequently, engineers delayed the ignition timing during cold starts, allowing some unburned fuel to combust in the exhaust pipe, leading to loud engine noise. 2. Space: Space has never been Mazda's strong suit. Even with a 178cm tester sitting in the rear, the headroom is only about four fingers, legroom is just over a fist, and the floor hump is high. Additionally, the rear air vents protrude significantly, making the middle seat unsuitable for long-term occupancy.

What is the difference between repainted and original car paint?

Repainted and original car paint differ in that the repainted paint lacks an electrophoretic layer and involves different construction processes. The differences between repainted and original car paint are as follows: 1. Repainted paint lacks an electrophoretic layer: The biggest difference between repainted paint and original factory paint is that the repainted paint does not have an electrophoretic layer, only the color paint layer and clear coat layer are applied. This is precisely why issues like poor adhesion arise. Eventually, color discrepancies will appear after some time. 2. Different construction processes: During the car production line, the car body is painted using robotic arms, ensuring uniform paint application, followed by high-temperature baking at around 200 degrees Celsius. At that stage, the entire car is just a frame, with no assembly of components like the engine and interior AAA parts, allowing for high-temperature baking. However, repainting after the car leaves the factory means the interior and AAA parts cannot withstand high temperatures. Additionally, the dust-free level on the car production line is significantly higher than that in 4S shops or repair factories. Therefore, the painting quality naturally falls short of the original factory standard.

How to Know If the Car Has Fuel?

To check if the car has fuel, look at the fuel gauge on the dashboard. F stands for full, and E stands for empty. The car dashboard includes a speedometer, tachometer, temperature gauge, and fuel gauge, with the fuel gauge occupying a large area. Here are some fueling tips: 1. Don't wait until the tank is empty: When the fuel level drops to a quarter, it's time to refuel; don't wait until it's completely empty. 2. Avoid overfilling: When refueling, do not fill the tank to the brim; leave some space. 3. Do not mix different types of fuel: Do not add diesel or kerosene to gasoline.
