Buick Excelle's auto-lock function can be set using the car's lock button. Press and hold the lock button for about 5 seconds until the hazard lights flash twice. During the auto-lock process, if the hazard lights flash only once, it indicates the auto-lock function has been deactivated. To reactivate it, simply use the car's lock button to set it again. The Buick Excelle is an entry-level family sedan launched by SAIC-GM Buick. Taking the 2020 Excelle 15N Manual Elite as an example, it is equipped with a 1.3L 107hp L3 engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, and features a 4-door 5-seater sedan body structure.

Setting up the automatic door lock feature on the Buick Excelle is a handy trick I often use. Here's how I do it: First, sit in the driver's seat and start the engine. Then, press the control button on the steering wheel or navigate through the central touchscreen to enter the menu system. In the settings options, locate 'Vehicle Settings' or 'Door Lock Settings,' scroll down to find 'Automatic Door Lock,' and simply tap to enable it. Typically, once the vehicle speed reaches around 15 km/h, the doors will automatically lock, saving me the hassle of remembering to lock them manually. This is especially convenient in city traffic or when waiting at red lights, preventing the risk of doors being accidentally opened. If it doesn't respond, check whether the fuse is functioning properly or if the system needs an update—don't let a malfunction compromise safe driving. Automatic door locking is not only convenient but also enhances the safety of children or pets in the car. Making this a habit ensures a more secure and smoother daily driving experience.

What is the main function of the oil ring?

The main function of the oil ring is to scrape off excess oil from the cylinder wall and spread a uniform oil film on the cylinder wall. This prevents oil from entering the combustion chamber and reduces wear between the piston, piston rings, and cylinder wall. The oil ring is a type of piston ring, which is divided into conventional oil rings and composite oil rings. Piston rings are metal rings fitted into the grooves of a piston. Their clearance function is to accommodate thermal expansion when exposed to high-temperature gases during engine operation and radial expansion/contraction deformation due to periodic reciprocating motion. To ensure normal engine operation, piston rings have clearance within the cylinder.

Is it a violation to have one wheel crossing the solid line?

Having one wheel crossing the solid line is a violation. Definition of crossing the line: A solid line is a type of road marking. Crossing the line refers to the wheel crossing the line, which falls under the scope of the driving test (Subject 2). Vehicles must drive according to regulations, and crossing a solid line constitutes a violation of prohibited markings. According to Article 44 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, motor vehicles passing through intersections must do so in accordance with traffic signals, signs, markings, or the direction of traffic police. When passing through intersections without traffic signals, signs, markings, or traffic police direction, vehicles must slow down and yield to pedestrians and vehicles with the right of way. Cases where crossing the line does not result in penalties: In emergency situations ahead, bypassing by crossing the solid line will not be penalized. For example, if there is a traffic accident or obstruction ahead that prevents passage, vehicles behind must bypass by crossing the solid line and will not be considered in violation. Crossing the line under the direction of on-site traffic police will not result in a fine. If crossing the line under police direction is captured by electronic surveillance, the driver can apply to the traffic police department to have the violation dismissed. Special vehicles performing duties that cross the line to yield will not be fined. If penalized, the driver can request a review of the penalty. The traffic police will review the surveillance footage and may revoke the penalty if justified.

How to Maintain Straight-line Driving in Driving Test Subject 3?

Maintain straight-line driving by making fine adjustments to the steering wheel. If you find that the vehicle was not properly aligned before the test or notice that the driving trajectory still deviates from a straight line after starting, you can turn the steering wheel slightly, generally within about 5 degrees. This will gradually align the vehicle's trajectory over a longer distance, after which you can straighten the steering wheel. Additional Information: Subject 3 Precautions: During the Subject 3 test, it is important to inspect the vehicle's exterior and safety conditions in advance. Ensure that the car's lights are functioning properly. During the test, strictly adhere to the test requirements: do not drive over the lines and avoid speeding.
