Excelle's automatic locking can be set in the car's central control display screen, and it can also be set using the car's lock button. Press the lock button for about 5 seconds until the hazard indicator flashes twice to complete the setup.

Back when I drove the old Excelle, I looked into this. The auto-lock setup is actually super simple. First, power on the car but don't start the engine. Then press and hold the unlock button on the driver's door panel for about 10 seconds until the dashboard flashes the hazard lights. Release the button and immediately press the lock button - you'll hear a 'click' sound confirming it's done. This trick works for most 2005-2012 models. Once set, the doors will automatically lock when driving over 20km/h, which is especially handy when traveling with kids. Some owners report it doesn't work - usually because they messed up the sequence or didn't hold the button long enough.

What is the brake light bulb model for Subaru XV?

Subaru XV brake light bulb model is 21W5W-T20 specification double filament. The brake light is the light that illuminates when the vehicle brakes, usually red, serving to warn vehicles behind. Additionally, brake lights effectively prevent rear-end collisions and reduce traffic accidents. Depending on the material used to make the brake light, they can be broadly categorized into gas brake lights and LED brake lights. Gas brake lights use materials like halogen gas. Gas brake lights are technologically mature and inexpensive but produce radiation. LED brake lights use LED materials. LED-made brake lights are radiation-free, pollution-free, and have a long service life. The method to replace the brake light bulb is: Use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the fixing clip, then pull back the bushing; turn the socket to the left to remove it; remove the old bulb and insert the new bulb. When replacing, ensure the vehicle is turned off and in a cool state to avoid skin burns. When handling the bulb, do not touch the glass part; hold the bulb base instead. The bulb glass contains gas, and touching it with hands can affect the bulb's performance and lifespan. Finger stains can cause uneven thermal expansion on the glass surface, leading to bulb breakage.

What Causes the Red Light on a Dash Cam to Flash?

The reason the red light on a dash cam flashes is: The car dash cam is in normal recording mode. While driving, the dash cam usually activates automatically when it detects vehicles or pedestrians within its lens range, initiating the recording function. If the dash cam's red light flashes after the engine is turned off, it is due to the parking monitoring feature being enabled. This means the dash cam continues to operate even after the car is turned off. It is recommended to disable this feature as it can significantly impact the battery's lifespan. Usage precautions: During winter, temperatures drop, but dash cams are designed to operate in normal ambient temperatures. Extremely low temperatures can cause many electronic components to function abnormally, potentially damaging the device's circuitry. Therefore, drivers should avoid recording in excessively cold environments. Regarding installation position, it is best to mount the dash cam near the rearview mirror inside the car for optimal field of view. Also, ensure the lens is within the wiper's cleaning range to maintain clear recordings during rainy conditions. The installation position should not interfere with the deployment range of the car's airbags.

Is a slight oil seepage from the transmission oil pan normal?

Transmission oil pan slight seepage is a normal phenomenon. As the vehicle is used more and ages, wear and tear on various components increase, so oil seepage is normal. However, if there is oil leakage, it definitely indicates a damaged part that requires prompt repair. The signs that indicate the need for transmission oil replacement are: vehicle body shaking, gear shifting hesitation; the dashboard shows a transmission high-temperature warning; the car stalls; unusual noises occur. The methods for replacing transmission oil are as follows: Unscrew the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the oil before refilling. Directly remove the transmission oil pan to drain and refill the oil: this method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities from the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulation machine to replace automatic transmission oil: dynamic oil replacement with an intelligent circulation machine can filter and clean sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission. The hazards of not replacing transmission oil for a long time: 1. Damage to the transmission's gear shift control mechanism; 2. Abnormal wear of gears and clutch plates inside the transmission; 3. Affects the normal operation of the transmission, leading to damage to the transmission's valve body.

How many bottles of refrigerant should be added to a car?

Adding refrigerant to a car typically requires 4 or 5 bottles. Refrigerant charging: Generally, it can be defined as adding refrigerant (Freon) to household cooling appliances, such as air conditioners and refrigerators, using professional tools to inject the refrigerant into the compressor. Methods for adding refrigerant to an air conditioner: 1. Weld an additional service pipe to the compressor's suction pipe for refrigerant charging. 2. Charge refrigerant through the high-pressure service pipe on the compressor. Prerequisites for refrigerant charging: 1. The air conditioner being serviced must meet its usage conditions and installation standards. 2. The maintenance tools and materials must be qualified. 3. Strictly follow the refrigerant charging procedures. Reasons for adding refrigerant: Freon is the medium that transfers heat in an air conditioning system. Without it, heat cannot be effectively exchanged, and the air conditioner cannot cool or heat. Therefore, when the air conditioner lacks refrigerant, symptoms may include poor cooling (or heating), no cooling (or heating), protective shutdown, water leakage from the indoor unit (sometimes spraying water), and ice formation on the indoor evaporator.

What does the appearance of warning light 'a' indicate?

It indicates a malfunction in the auto start-stop function. Function of auto start-stop: It enables automatic handbrake during vehicle operation. This technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle comes to a stop, and prevents unnecessary vehicle sliding when the automatic electronic parking brake is engaged. Its primary function is to prevent rollback during hill starts. Mainly manifested in three aspects: Encountering red lights: When encountering situations like red lights that require brief stops during driving. The system will automatically brake the wheels after the vehicle comes to a complete stop to prevent rolling. This eliminates the need for the driver to constantly think about pulling the handbrake. When the light turns green, stepping on the accelerator to start will automatically release the wheels. Hill starts: During hill starts, the system will automatically brake to prevent rollback. Once the initial traction is sufficient to move uphill, the system will automatically release the wheels for forward movement. Parking and locking: There's no need to pull the handbrake when parking and locking, as the system will automatically brake the wheels. However, the third function is not available in some models, requiring manual handbrake application when parking.

Why Were Radial Engines Phased Out?

Radial engines were phased out due to poor heat dissipation, high fuel consumption, excessive noise, and significant vibration. Here are the specific reasons for the discontinuation of radial engines: 1. Size: The radial dimensions of radial engines are too large, meaning the arrangement of cylinders in a circle is too bulky, making it inconvenient for layout in automobiles. 2. Fuel Consumption Issue: Fuel consumption is the biggest problem. Taking the V8 engine in the Toyota Land Cruiser as an example.
