Is it necessary to have car maintenance done at a 4S shop?

It is not necessary to have car maintenance done at a 4S shop. Here is some relevant information about car maintenance: There are several advantages to having maintenance done at a 4S shop: 1. You will have a complete maintenance record, which can help increase the resale value of your car in the future. 2. 4S shops are backed by brand manufacturers, so they have very detailed vehicle data, complete equipment, and the technicians' repair skills are relatively professional and mature. 3. It is hassle-free; you can simply hand over your car to the staff. 4. However, 4S shops also have very obvious disadvantages: the labor costs are too high, the choice of engine oil is limited, and after a simple minor maintenance service, not only may the engine oil used not be to your liking, but the price is also expensive.

Must ETC be installed on transparent glass?

ETC can be used without being attached to the glass. Installing ETC on the upper part of the windshield is to minimize obstruction of the driver's view while ensuring better recognition by the equipment at highway toll stations. If you prefer not to install it on the glass, place it in an open area where it can be seen through the windshield. For small cars, the ETC is generally installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles like trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower middle part. The suitable installation position should be at a height of no less than 1.2 meters and no more than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. If the vehicle has a factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof film, it may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, so it should be installed in the microwave window area. Here are some considerations for ETC installation: Do not obstruct the view; it's best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have windshields with a significant rearward tilt, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing the ETC without considering this can increase blind spots. Installing it behind and to the right of the rearview mirror avoids obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a built-in solar panel for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or in positions that might block the solar panel. Do not remove it once installed: The adhesive button in the middle is an anti-tamper rod connected to a switch. Once the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-tamper rod in. If removed arbitrarily, the rod will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism prevents multiple vehicles from sharing the same device. Things to note when using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid issues caused by a malfunctioning ETC device in the vehicle ahead, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters to prevent automatic payment for the vehicle in front. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and thus failed payment. If using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause payment failure.

What to Do When the Engine Warning Light Comes On in a Buick Excelle?

If the engine warning light comes on, you can follow these steps: First, check if the engine is running normally. Look for issues like shaking or black smoke. If any are present, avoid restarting the engine. Note: Never restart the engine if the red warning light is on. If the engine can start, turn it off and wait 5-10 minutes. Without pressing the brake, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the 'on' position without depressing the clutch. The car will perform a self-check after powering on. Wait 5-10 seconds to see if the warning light turns off. If the light remains on, visit a service center as soon as possible. Technicians can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the trouble code, identify the issue, and perform targeted repairs. There are seven main reasons why the engine warning light may come on: Sensor malfunction: Sensors such as coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, and oxygen sensors may fail, lose connection, or send interrupted signals. This prevents the ECU from accurately obtaining engine data, triggering the warning light. Fuel or oil quality issues: Using fuel or oil not meeting manufacturer specifications may cause engine wear and trigger the warning light. Poor fuel mixture combustion: This can lead to carbon buildup or engine knocking. The oxygen sensor detects this and reports it to the ECU, which then illuminates the warning light. Causes include faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pumps, or clogged fuel lines. Turbocharger issues: Problems with the intake boost pipes or turbocharger can trigger the warning light. Common symptoms include oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Air intake problems: Blockages in the engine's air intake system, often due to a dirty air filter, can lead to the warning light coming on. Exhaust system issues: Faults like a malfunctioning rear oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, or bearings can trigger the warning light. The catalytic converter is most commonly affected by leaded gasoline, improper additives, physical damage, or fuel system issues. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the car's electronic anti-theft system fails or doesn't match the engine control unit, it may prevent the engine from running properly and trigger the warning light.
