To turn on the front fog lights of the Buick Excelle, you need to first activate the vehicle's lighting system, specifically the parking lights. Locate the fog light symbol on the vehicle's lighting control lever and push it forward. Then, rotate the control ring until the front fog light symbol aligns with the activation point. At this point, the dashboard will display the front fog light indicator. Relevant information about car fog lights is as follows: 1. Fog lights generally refer to automotive fog lights, which are installed at the front and rear of the vehicle. 2. Due to low visibility in foggy conditions, the driver's line of sight is restricted. Fog lights can increase visibility distance, especially the strong light penetration of yellow anti-fog lights, which enhances the visibility for both the driver and other traffic participants, allowing approaching vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a greater distance.

When I first bought the Buick Excelle, I didn't quite know how to turn on the front fog lights, but later figured it out: After starting the car, first turn on the headlights—usually by rotating the switch on the light control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel to the ON position. Then, look for the fog light symbol on the same stalk; typically, you can activate the front fog lights by pushing or pulling a small sub-switch forward or backward. The key is to use them in fog, rain, or heavy snow to illuminate the roadside and avoid missing obstacles or pedestrians. Don’t turn them on unnecessarily, as they can be glaring and annoying while also wasting energy. Practice a few times when parked to ensure you’re comfortable with the operation. After learning, I found it quite simple, and developing this habit has made driving in low visibility much safer. I recommend checking the fog light bulbs regularly to avoid discovering issues in emergencies. If the switch malfunctions or the lights don’t turn on, don’t force it—get it repaired promptly for safety. Total words: 168

As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I find the way the Buick Excelle's front fog lights are activated quite practical: after starting the engine, turn on the headlight system (rotate the light lever to ON), then locate the fog light toggle switch on the lever—a gentle flick will illuminate the front fog lights. This feature is especially crucial in poor weather conditions—the fog lights' beam is designed to be wide and flat, penetrating fog to enhance road visibility and reduce the risk of rear-end collisions. Don't forget to turn them off in clear weather to avoid dazzling other drivers; operate them when parked to prevent distracted driving. I recommend incorporating regular maintenance: check the bulb condition every few months. If the switch feels stiff or the light doesn't turn on, first check if the fuse is blown; take it to a professional shop for inspection if necessary. Developing good habits makes safe driving smoother. I always remind new drivers not to overlook light settings, especially on highways—it can be a lifesaver. Total words: 154

Let's talk about the mechanism of the Buick Excelle's front fog lights: They are operated via a switch on the control lever. After turning on the headlights, flick the dedicated sub-gear, and the current will activate the fog lights through the relay. I usually use them in low visibility conditions, as the beam can cover the edge of the road, helping you spot potential hazards. The steps to turn them on are simple: just twist the lever to the fog light position when parked or at low speed. Trying to turn them on after turning off the headlights might fail, so follow the correct sequence. By the way, fog lights have a limited lifespan, so avoid overusing them to extend maintenance intervals. If they don't turn on, common causes include a blown fuse or poor contact—a simple check or a visit to the shop can fix the issue. Total words: 126

What to Do If You Keep Mistaking the Accelerator for the Brake?

When not pressing the accelerator, keep your foot on the brake to develop good driving habits. Here are some tips to avoid mistaking the accelerator for the brake: Place your right foot on the brake when not pressing the accelerator: While driving, make it a habit to place your right foot on the brake when you're not pressing the accelerator. This helps prevent confusing the accelerator with the brake. If you rest your right foot on the floor when not accelerating, it may feel more relaxed, but in an emergency, you might struggle to locate or accurately press the brake, leading to mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead. Develop good driving habits: For novice drivers, the main reason for mistaking the accelerator for the brake is insufficient familiarity with the vehicle or the lack of established good driving habits. Staying calm in unexpected situations is also crucial for safe driving.

Which Gear is the Driving Gear in an Automatic Transmission Car?

In an automatic transmission car, the driving gear is the D (Drive) gear. The following is an introduction to the gears in an automatic transmission car: P Gear: Parking gear. When the vehicle is completely stationary, press the unlock button at the front of the gear lever to shift into P gear. R Gear: Reverse gear. When the vehicle is completely stationary, press the brake pedal and the unlock button at the front of the gear lever to shift into R gear. After releasing the brake pedal, slowly press the accelerator to move the vehicle backward. N Gear: Neutral gear. You can directly shift from R or D gear into N gear. When shifting out of N gear, you need to press the brake pedal. D Gear: Drive gear. You can directly shift from N gear into D gear. This gear is generally used when the vehicle is moving forward, and the system will automatically shift gears based on engine load and speed. S Gear: The S gear in an automatic transmission stands for Sport gear, which is a mode that emphasizes power output. Due to its strong power, the S gear is usually used when overtaking or climbing a slope. After completing the action, it is switched back to the more economical D gear. In terms of fuel consumption, the S gear mode consumes more fuel than the normal mode because of the increased fuel injection at high RPMs.

Are Green License Plate Vehicles Subject to Traffic Restrictions?

Local traffic restriction policies determine whether green license plate vehicles are subject to traffic restrictions. Green license plates are exclusive to new energy vehicles, specially designed by the state for differentiated management to quickly distinguish between traditional fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles. Currently, the format of green new energy vehicle license plates is: regional abbreviation + area code letter + exclusive letter for pure electric/hybrid + numbers. Green license plates refer to new energy vehicles, embodying the characteristics of green environmental protection, and can effectively and conveniently identify new energy vehicles. License plates, also known as vehicle registration plates, are standardized hard number plates with a unified format and style as stipulated by national vehicle management regulations. They are issued by vehicle management authorities after reviewing, inspecting, and registering the vehicles applying for the plates, featuring a unique registration code and are mounted on the front and rear of the vehicle. The conditions, procedures, and requirements for applying for new energy vehicle license plates are the same as those for regular vehicle license plates. However, only three types of vehicles—pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles—are eligible for green license plates.

Where is the airbag plug under the seat?

The airbag plug under the seat is generally located in front of or below the gear shift lever. Places marked with AIR, BGA, etc., are where the airbag is configured. If you really can't find it, you can refer to the car's user manual, which will have detailed records. The airbag plug is mostly located under the airbag, which is basically where the word "airbag" is written inside the car. Most airbag plugs are yellow. The airbag has a separate computer board, and all airbags are basically connected to the airbag computer board. Driver's airbag: There are two bolts under the rear cover of the steering wheel. Remove the bolts, gently lift it, and take off the connector that connects the clock spring to the generator. Generally, the connector has a lock. Some can be removed by pressing it, while others can be removed by pulling out the small pin. Passenger airbag: There are two types: split type and integrated type. The split type has a separate airbag cover with a gap between it and the dashboard, marked with SRS or airbag or a combination of the two. The integrated type has the airbag cover and dashboard as one piece, also marked with those words. The split type is easier to disassemble than the integrated type. Side airbag: After removing the A-pillar trim, the side curtain airbag appears. In a typical side collision, the side curtain airbag will quickly close the actual gap between the occupants and the door and B-pillar. Its function is to protect the side parts of the occupants (mainly the head). The side airbag must deploy at an extremely fast speed in the small gap between the occupants and the door to act as a buffer.

Why Can't I Connect to CarPlay?

Reasons for not being able to connect to CarPlay: Damaged phone data cable: Check if the phone data cable is damaged or broken, and whether there are any foreign objects attached to the metal contact terminals on the USB plug and phone plug, or if the surface is oxidized. Internal port damage: Inspect the internal USB female port of the car stereo's external USB HUB for any damage, and whether the contact metal pieces can maintain good contact with the USB male plug. Loose connection: Check if the connection between the car stereo and the external USB HUB is loose. To avoid poor internal contact due to prolonged oxidation, you can repeatedly unplug and replug the two connectors of the cable.
