I've been driving the GAC GS8 for a while, and the first thing I do after starting the car is turn on the air conditioning. First, press the round power button on the center console to activate the AC system, then rotate the temperature knob to set the desired temperature—turning left lowers the temperature while turning right increases it. In summer, I usually set it around 22°C. Adjust the fan speed using the plus and minus buttons nearby; setting a higher fan speed initially cools the car faster. For convenience, simply press the AUTO button, which automatically adjusts the fan speed and cooling intensity based on the interior and exterior temperatures. Also, avoid directing the vents straight at your face to prevent catching a cold—I usually adjust them to blow toward the chest and legs. Before parking, turn off the AC button and leave only the fan running to reduce odors. Regularly check the filter to prevent dust buildup and replace it once a year to keep the AC fresh and efficient.

As a car owner who enjoys precise control, I pay attention to details when using the GS8's air conditioning. After starting the engine, press the AC button, and the indicator light will show the system is on. In auto mode, press the AUTO button and set the temperature knob to let the vehicle automatically adjust the fan speed and cooling intensity, which is more convenient than manual operation. When manually controlling, choose the correct fan mode—for example, press the defog button for defogging and use the body vent icon for normal cooling. Avoid extreme temperature settings; 23-25°C is the most comfortable and fuel-efficient. Switching between internal and external circulation is crucial: use internal circulation in traffic to avoid exhaust fumes and switch to external circulation on highways to keep the air fresh. Air conditioning odors are often due to a dirty filter, which I replace every six months. Regularly running the AC at maximum fan speed for a few minutes can prevent mold in the ducts.

I'm used to quick operations for the AC in my GS8. After starting the car, I directly press the AC button on the center console to activate cooling, then rotate the temperature knob to set it to, say, 25°C. The AUTO mode is the most convenient—just press it and it automatically controls all parameters. Occasionally, I manually adjust the fan speed, keeping it not too loud to avoid noise. I select the body vent mode for airflow, avoiding direct blowing on the face. A few minutes before parking, I turn off the AC and only keep the fan running to dry the ducts, preventing odors. The filter must be replaced on time; otherwise, it affects performance.

How many kilometers does the EA888 timing chain need to be replaced?

The EA888 timing chain needs to be replaced after 60,000 kilometers. If the timing chain is not replaced for a long time, it can easily lead to stretching and wear of the chain, causing the gap to increase, and potentially resulting in timing chain misalignment, valve collision, or even cylinder damage. Vehicle owners should regularly inspect the timing chain based on usage conditions and environment. Function of the timing chain: The engine timing chain drives the valve train of the engine, ensuring that the intake and exhaust valves open or close at the appropriate times. This allows the engine's pistons to properly complete the four strokes of intake, combustion, power, and exhaust, ensuring the normal operation of the automobile engine. Hazards of not replacing the timing chain: During high-speed engine operation, the timing chain may stretch, wear, and develop increased gaps. If the chain elongates due to these gaps, it can cause inaccurate timing and increased noise. If the timing chain wears or stretches due to aging, leading to timing misalignment, the valve stems may bend, the piston tops may dent, and in severe cases, the cylinder head may be damaged, rendering the engine inoperable.

What is the difference in insurance costs between 5-seater and 7-seater vehicles?

The differences in insurance costs between 5-seater and 7-seater vehicles are as follows: 1. Different compulsory traffic insurance: Compulsory traffic insurance and passenger liability insurance are calculated based on the number of seats in the vehicle. For family cars, those with 6 seats or fewer have lower annual insurance premiums than those with more than 6 seats. 2. Different seat insurance: Seat insurance, also known as passenger liability insurance, costs more for 7-seater vehicles as they have 2 additional seats compared to 5-seater vehicles. Below are other differences between 5-seater and 7-seater vehicles: 1. Annual inspection frequency: For 5-seater vehicles within 6 years, inspections are required every two years without the need for an on-site inspection. In many regions, this can be done directly through the official transportation department app, eliminating the need to visit the vehicle management office. For 7-seater vehicles within 6 years, inspections are also required every two years, but an on-site inspection is necessary. For vehicles older than 6 years, regardless of whether they are 5-seater or 7-seater, an annual on-site inspection is required. 2. Vehicle body marking: Enforcement varies by region. Generally, if the vehicle is not used for commercial purposes, even 7-seater vehicles do not need to have markings such as 'Approved capacity: 7 persons' on the body. However, in some areas where private vehicles are often used for commercial purposes, for the sake of unified management, such markings may be required during annual inspections.

What Causes Severe Jerking When Starting in First Gear in a Cruze?

Possible causes include uneven or deformed clutch plates, improper clutch adjustment, issues with the universal joint bearing, or problems with the clutch pressure plate contact. Excessive carbon buildup in the engine combustion chamber leading to incomplete combustion and affected power output. Loose engine fastening screws, etc. More details are as follows: 1. Main causes after excluding personal driving habits: Vehicle shaking during first-gear starts is generally caused by excessive wear of the clutch pressure plate. Manual transmissions primarily transmit power through the clutch, where the clutch pressure plate is responsible for kinetic energy transfer. The clutch pressure plate has a limited lifespan. Prolonged semi-engagement or the engine operating under excessive load for extended periods can accelerate wear on the pressure plate. 2. Solution: When the clutch pressure plate wears to a certain extent, power engagement becomes less smooth, causing vehicle shaking and unstable engine RPM. To resolve this issue, it is recommended that owners visit a repair shop or 4S dealership to have technicians replace the clutch pressure plate, which will eliminate the fault.
