The bulb combines both high and low beams, and the model number is 9012. Definition of combined high/low beam lighting: A combined high/low beam means that both the high beam and low beam functions are integrated into a single bulb. Inside the bulb, there are two filaments that allow for instant switching between beams. Working principle of combined high/low beam lighting: One set of light beams is reflected directly forward by the lamp reflector, commonly known as the high beam. The other set is a deflected beam, where the emitted light is blocked by a shade to the upper part of the lamp reflector. The reflected light diffuses downward toward the ground, preventing glare for oncoming drivers.

The Envision's lighting system indeed features a high/low beam integrated design, particularly in the LED version, as confirmed by my years of experience repairing Buick vehicles. These headlights utilize a single light source module that achieves instant switching between low and high beams through internal baffles or electronic controls, eliminating the maintenance hassles of traditional dual-bulb systems. In practical use, I've observed its rapid response and even light distribution, which not only reduces glare but also enhances nighttime driving confidence. During routine inspections, remember to regularly clean the lens to prevent dust accumulation from affecting performance. While highly reliable overall, module replacement costs can be slightly expensive if damaged. This integrated design has become standard in newer Envision models, reflecting automakers' pursuit of energy efficiency – an excellent choice for both urban and long-distance driving. I recommend prioritizing configurations with this feature when selecting a vehicle to enjoy smarter illumination.

I've been driving my Envision for over a year, and the headlights are definitely integrated high/low beam, which feels exceptionally smooth. When driving on the highway, a light flick of the headlight lever instantly switches between high and low beams, providing a clear view without glare, making nighttime driving much more reassuring. This is thanks to the built-in switching mechanism of LED technology, which is more energy-efficient and durable than traditional models, with virtually no issues of bulb burnout. Additionally, the headlights have a strong modern aesthetic, enhancing the overall vehicle's appeal. Maintenance is also simple—just occasional wiping by yourself—but for major issues, it's best to consult a professional technician. Overall, this design is space-saving and practical. If you're considering buying an Envision, I highly recommend checking out the lighting configuration section—it will significantly improve your driving experience.

The Envision's lighting system adopts a high-low beam integrated design, commonly seen in repair shop practices. It controls the switching between high and low beams through a single component, reducing part redundancy and contributing to vehicle lightweighting. During maintenance, careful inspection of electronic modules and shutters for aging is essential. Most new models are equipped with integrated LED lights, which are energy-efficient and reliable but expensive to replace if damaged.

What does the TUNE button in a car mean?

TUNE in Chinese means melody. The TUNE button in a car is used to adjust the audio system settings, mainly including bass balance, treble balance, left-right balance, front-rear balance, and SVC (Speed-sensitive Volume Control). Other English buttons in a car are as follows: A-OFF: It refers to the engine auto start-stop off function. Although auto start-stop can significantly save fuel in actual driving, it is not perfectly integrated with domestic road conditions. For example, in congested roads, rainy weather, or wading sections, it is better to turn it off to ensure the normal output of the engine, avoiding unnecessary losses for saving a few drops of fuel. AUTOHOLD: It translates to automatic parking, usually located near the handbrake. When waiting at traffic lights or parking on the side of the road, pressing this button will put the car in a temporary shutdown state. To start, just step on the accelerator to automatically release it.

What Causes the Vibration Sensation When Pressing the Brake Pedal?

The reasons for the vibration sensation when pressing the brake pedal include normal phenomenon, uneven wear on both sides of the tire tread, and deformation of the brake disc. Below are detailed explanations of the specific causes: Normal Phenomenon: For manual transmission vehicles, when the vehicle is in a low gear with high torque, both the brake pedal and clutch pedal usually experience slight vibrations, which is normal. For automatic transmission vehicles, when stopping at a red light with the gear in D and the brake pressed, pedal vibration is also normal. In this case, shifting to N or P gear will significantly reduce the sensation. Uneven Wear on Both Sides of the Tire Tread: Uneven wear on both sides of the tire tread or unequal tire pressure can also lead to vibration in the brake pedal. Deformation of the Brake Disc: Deformation of the brake disc may cause vibration, especially during sudden braking. In such cases, it is generally recommended to replace the brake disc.

What Causes the Bad Smell When Turning on the Car Air Conditioner?

When there is a bad smell when turning on the car air conditioner, it is mostly due to mold in the evaporator and ventilation ducts. Air entering the car is cooled or heated by the evaporator before being blown out as warm or cool air through the vents. During this process, bacteria, dust, and even insect remains can inevitably enter the evaporator and ventilation ducts. Over time, this leads to unpleasant odors when the air conditioner is in use. Here are the solutions to address car air conditioner odors: Check the Air Conditioner Vents: The best method is to choose an open, sunny area, open the car doors, turn on the natural air setting, set the external circulation to maximum (without turning on the air conditioner), or even better, turn on the heater. Let it run for 5-6 minutes to blow out the dust. Check the Air Filter: The air filter should generally be replaced once a year. However, if there are frequent sandstorms or other harsh weather conditions, replacing it every few months may be necessary. If the filter is only superficially dirty, it can be simply blown clean. But if it is heavily soiled, cleaning the filter is not recommended.

What does 91y on a tire mean?

The 91 in the tire specification parameter 91y represents the load index. By referring to the tire specification chart, it can be determined that its maximum load capacity is 615kg, while the y indicates a maximum speed of 300 kilometers per hour. The following are the car tire maintenance items: Tire rotation: It is recommended to rotate the tire positions every 10,000 kilometers to evenly distribute tire fatigue, prevent wear, and extend the tire's service life. Tire pressure inspection: Check at least once a month. If the tire pressure decreases too quickly, please visit a local tire shop for inspection to avoid causing further damage to the tires.
