The start-stop function switch in the Excelle is located next to the ignition switch or on the center console panel. After the engine starts, the auto start-stop system becomes active. You can manually deactivate the auto start-stop system by pressing the button. Below is some relevant information about the Excelle: 1. Interior: The new Excelle cockpit continues Buick's 360-degree wraparound integrated design, complemented by high-touch interior materials and Quiet-Tuning, Buick's patented noise reduction technology. It features a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, ice-blue sporty instrument panel, fully automatic air conditioning system, one-button start function, rear air conditioning vents, and a flexible 400L luggage compartment. 2. Powertrain: The new Buick Excelle offers two powertrain combinations: a 1.3T dual injection turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed DSS intelligent dual-clutch transmission, and a 1.0T dual injection turbocharged engine paired with a 6-speed DCG intelligent dual-clutch transmission. The former delivers a maximum power of 120kW at 5500 RPM and a peak torque of 230N.m between 1800~4400 RPM, while the latter provides a maximum power of 92kW at 5600 RPM and a peak torque of 170N·m between 1700-4400 RPM.

When driving the Excelle, the auto start-stop function keeps shutting off the engine at every stop in the city, and the noticeable shake during restart is quite annoying. Turning it off is simple. Just press a small button near the steering wheel marked with an 'A' or the start-stop OFF symbol – the illuminated light indicates the function is disabled. In most models, this button is located on the left side of the instrument panel. If you can't find it, refer to the owner's manual for diagrams. You'll need to disable it each time you start the car since the system defaults to ON. Deactivating it results in smoother driving with less noise. If the button doesn’t respond or the light fails to activate, it might indicate low battery charge or a sensor issue—check the battery voltage to avoid affecting the system’s automatic reactivation. Frequent use of start-stop during short trips increases engine wear, so periodically disabling it benefits the vehicle. Personally, I recommend turning it off in cold winter conditions for safer driving and better comfort.

When is the first session of the written test for the driver's license exam?

The first session of the written test for the driver's license exam starts at 9:00 AM. There are two test sessions in the morning: the first session begins at 9:00 AM, and the second session starts at 10:00 AM. In the afternoon, there are three test sessions at 13:00, 14:00, and 15:00. Please note that these times may not apply to all test centers, so always confirm with the specific test center. The written test has a time limit of 45 minutes. Since you need to complete registration before entering the examination room, it is recommended to arrive at least 30 minutes early. The written test consists of 100 questions, including true/false and multiple-choice questions, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. The test questions are randomly selected and combined by the computer-based driver examination system according to the proportion specified in the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Work Regulations." The written test covers traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. The test content includes road traffic rules, traffic signals, handling of traffic safety violations and accidents, application and use of motor vehicle driver's licenses, motor vehicle registration regulations, and other traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules. There is no limit to the number of times you can take the written test. Each test attempt allows two chances. If you fail the first time, you can immediately take a second test (i.e., a retest). If you pass the retest, it counts as an official pass. If you fail the retest, the attempt is considered a failure, and you will need to reschedule the test.

What are the tips for reverse parking?

Here is a detailed introduction to the techniques for reverse parking: Identify the starting point: Taking right-side reverse parking as an example, the car should be positioned 1.2-1.8 meters away from the left line at the starting point, with the steering wheel straight and the car body parallel to the left line. When reversing, use the bottom edge of the left rearview mirror as a reference. When the two align, turn the steering wheel fully to the right and continue reversing. Control the corner point: Watch the right rearview mirror. When you spot the corner point of the parking space, observe the distance between the corner point and the car body. If the distance is less than 30 centimeters, turn the steering wheel back halfway and continue reversing. Once the car body is inside the parking space and parallel to the parking lines, turn the steering wheel back one full turn. If the distance is not less than 30 centimeters, do not turn the steering wheel back. Continue reversing until the car body is parallel to the parking lines, then turn the steering wheel back one and a half turns at once. Align the stopping point: The stopping point is where you park after entering the parking space. The reference method is the same as for the starting point. When the bottom edge of the left mirror aligns with the shoulder line of the parking space, stop the car.

What Causes Jetta to Shake at Idle but Not When Accelerating?

The reasons for Jetta shaking at idle but not when accelerating include issues with the ignition system and the need to clean the throttle body. Specific details are as follows: Ignition System Issues: Spark plugs have a limited lifespan. If the spark plugs have been used for a long time, they may not fire properly, leading to unstable idle conditions. Therefore, it is essential to inspect the ignition system, including the spark plugs, to determine if they need replacement or if there is excessive carbon buildup. If such issues are found and are causing the idle shaking, the spark plugs should be replaced or cleaned promptly. Throttle Body Needs Cleaning: The proper functioning of the throttle body directly affects the engine's performance. During vehicle operation, carbon deposits can accumulate in the throttle body. Excessive carbon buildup can obstruct the engine's normal air intake, resulting in insufficient engine power to drive the compressor or barely managing to do so. In such cases, when starting the car and turning on the air conditioning, idle shaking may occur. Hence, it is crucial to check the throttle body for cleanliness and clean it if necessary.

What Causes the Car Warning Light to Keep Flashing?

The reasons for the car warning light continuously flashing include sensor issues, maintenance problems, etc. Specific explanations are as follows: Sensor Issues: Sensors include those for coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, oxygen sensors, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will trigger the engine warning light. Maintenance Problems: Poor engine maintenance is the most common cause of the engine warning light turning on. Vehicles have specific maintenance cycles. If the owner does not perform maintenance on schedule, combined with poor driving habits, it will increase the operational burden on the engine. Fuel Quality Issues: Fuel quality includes both fuel and engine oil. Cars generally have specific fuel grade requirements, and engine oil is categorized into semi-synthetic and fully synthetic types, as usually recommended by manufacturers. If the owner does not adhere to the required specifications, it will lead to engine wear over time.

Can the Inside of the Hood Be Washed with Water?

It is not advisable to wash the inside of a car hood with water. Here are the reasons: Risk of Damaging the Generator: Water can easily reach the generator, which may cause it to fail. Cylinder Block Cracking: If the engine is hot, the sudden cooling effect from water can cause significant damage due to thermal expansion and contraction. The engine block, being a cylinder, is prone to cracking under sudden cold stress. Accelerated Wiring Aging: If the engine is hot, the sudden cooling effect from water can cause significant damage due to thermal expansion and contraction. The engine block, being a cylinder, is prone to cracking under sudden cold stress. Precautions for Water Cleaning: Try to wash the engine after it has cooled down. Be cautious not to use too much pressure with the water gun.

What are the precautions for driving a new car?

New drivers should pay attention to reversing slowly and learn to use light signals. The following are specific matters and taboos that new drivers should pay attention to: Specific matters that new drivers should pay attention to: must have a good driving mentality; reverse slowly; the following distance during driving should be estimated based on the current speed, the following distance when parking should generally be such that the rear wheels of the car in front are barely visible, and more attention should be paid to switching lights when driving at night, learn to use light signals. Taboos for new drivers: stopping due to a breakdown on the highway, suddenly pulling over, not setting up warning signs after stopping, and passengers gathering around the car to look, which is a very dangerous situation; missing an exit and reversing back or suddenly braking and slowing down when passing a road sign, even stopping to look at the road sign or make a phone call, these are major taboos for driving on the highway; answering mobile phone calls while driving at high speed can distract attention and cause the car to deviate, and sudden deceleration can easily cause rear-end collisions.
