Is it necessary to use 95 octane gasoline for the Vezel?

The minimum fuel grade required for the Vezel is 92 octane, so there is no need to use 95 octane gasoline. Using 92 octane gasoline is sufficient to meet the engine's operational requirements. Generally speaking, Japanese cars typically use engines that require 92 octane fuel, with only some turbocharged engines requiring higher-grade 95 octane gasoline. Definition of gasoline grades: Gasoline grades represent the ratio of the actual gasoline's anti-knock performance to that of standard gasoline. The higher the grade, the stronger the anti-knock performance. Standard gasoline is composed of isooctane and n-heptane. Higher grades are not necessarily better; the appropriate gasoline grade should be chosen based on the engine's compression ratio. Misconceptions about gasoline usage: Some people fall into the misconception of preferring higher-grade gasoline, and some even consider the gasoline grade as a standard for fuel purity and quality. This is a mistaken notion. In fact, the grade of gasoline only indicates the octane value and should never be confused with purity and quality.

When is the first maintenance time for Haval M6?

Haval M6's first maintenance time is three months. The following are precautions before the first maintenance of a new car: Make an appointment in advance: First, make an appointment with the 4S store in advance, bring the maintenance manual and driving license, and specify the maintenance items and time. The speed during the running-in period should not be too fast: The initial driving period of a new car is called the running-in period. Therefore, generally, you should not drive too fast, do not exceed 100 mph, and the engine speed should not exceed 3000 rpm. Comprehensive inspection: In addition to daily inspection and maintenance, you should also pay attention to changing the engine oil, oil filter, and cleaning the air filter. In winter, pay attention to the level and freezing point of the antifreeze, check the braking system for oil leakage, whether the brake pads are within the specified thickness, check the wear of the engine belt, and adjust the belt tension if necessary.

Has the Buick Excelle GT Been Discontinued?

It has not been discontinued. The Excelle GT is a compact car under SAIC-GM Buick. Due to its design, which resembles both a hatchback and a station wagon, it has not gained widespread popularity in the domestic market. The currently available models are still the 2019 version. Below is an introduction to the new car: Interior: Since the current model's interior design is quite outdated, the new car will feature a completely new design. The original embedded central control screen will be replaced with a high-tech dual-screen setup, similar to the layout in the Buick GL8, offering consumers a luxurious and comfortable visual experience. Dimensions: The current model measures 4539*1798*1475mm with a wheelbase of 2640mm. Given that domestic consumers generally prefer larger cars, the new model is expected to be slightly bigger, enhancing its practicality. Powertrain: The new car will continue to use the current model's 1.3T three-cylinder turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163 and a peak torque of 230 Nm. Additionally, the new car may also introduce a 1.5L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine to cater to different consumer needs.

Why is the car idle speed unstable?

Below are the reasons for unstable car idle speed: 1. Intake manifold leakage: When unwanted air, gasoline vapor, or exhaust gas enters the intake manifold, it causes the air-fuel mixture to become too rich or too lean, leading to unstable car idle speed. 2. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body: Too much carbon deposit in the throttle body and surrounding intake passages changes the cross-sectional area of the air passage, making it impossible for the control unit to precisely control the idle air intake, which also results in an overly rich or lean mixture, causing unstable car idle speed. 3. Faulty intake system components: There are many components in the engine intake system, such as the throttle motor, idle speed stepper motor, duty cycle solenoid valve, air flow meter, intake pressure sensor, etc. Damage to these components can cause unstable car idle speed. 4. Fuel system faults: Clogged fuel injectors, clogged fuel filters, clogged fuel pump screens, faulty fuel pressure regulators, clogged return fuel lines, etc., can all lead to incorrect fuel injection, causing the mixture to be too rich or too lean, resulting in unstable car idle speed. 5. Ignition system faults: Faulty ignition modules, incorrect spark plug gaps, eroded or damaged spark plug electrodes, excessive resistance in high-voltage wires, etc., can reduce the energy of the ignition spark or cause misfires, leading to unstable car idle speed that fluctuates between high and low.

Which button unlocks the trunk on the Buick Excelle?

The Buick Excelle has a trunk release button located on the driver's side door panel. Pressing this button will unlock the tailgate. The trunk offers a capacity of 375L. Below are relevant details: Advantages of the Excelle: The Buick Excelle XT features sculpted, elegant styling infused with fashionable sports car elements and dynamic lines. It incorporates Buick's signature wraparound cockpit design philosophy, with a driver-centric sporty interior. The dual-tone instrument panel adds an extra touch of sporty excitement. Drawing inspiration from the design concept of the Riviera "Buick Future" two-door concept coupe, the Excelle XT blends fashionable sports car elements and dynamic lines into its sculpted, elegant form. This represents a fresh interpretation of Buick's dynamic and fluid new-generation design language, setting a new trend for five-door coupes in the mid-size car market. Precautions for trunk usage: Ensure the trunk is fully closed before driving. This primarily prevents the trunk lid from suddenly opening on bumpy roads or during high-speed driving, which could lead to traffic accidents. If the trunk lid is left slightly ajar or fully open, exhaust fumes may enter the cabin, potentially affecting the health of the driver and passengers.
