The effects of a car being exposed to the sun are as follows: 1. The engine is prone to problems: In a high-temperature environment, the heat dissipation temperature difference of the engine cooling system is small, and the heat dissipation ability is poor, making the engine prone to overheating. 2. The oil system is prone to problems: Under high temperatures, the fuel and corresponding components may experience a series of issues, accelerating component wear and severely affecting the engine's lifespan. 3. The battery may experience unstable voltage under high temperatures: When the battery temperature is high, the electrodes may oxidize due to the aging of the insulation layer, especially the negative electrode, which may produce white oxide at the terminal, leading to unstable battery voltage. 4. High temperatures can cause changes in the car paint: Car paint exposed to the scorching sun may fade or lose its gloss, similar to human skin, and may even develop cracks. 5. Interior aging: The car interior is prone to aging under high temperatures.

What does 'lack of power' mean?

"Lack of power" mostly refers to the symptoms of insufficient horsepower and slow acceleration in a vehicle. The most direct manifestation of power strength should be the initial acceleration, which is mainly reflected in low-end torque. Models with well-matched displacement and vehicle type, and properly tuned, can have quite good low-end torque output. Vehicles with lack of power are basically those with small displacement or inherently insufficient engine performance. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Difficulty in operating vehicles with lack of power: Starting a vehicle with lack of power may consume more fuel, and the speed increase will be slower, making people feel anxious. At the same time, lane changes may also pose certain difficulties. 2. Insufficient state of vehicles with lack of power: One situation with lack of power is a small engine pulling a large vehicle. This situation can cause the engine to operate under overload for a long time, that is, in a non-economical working area, so fuel consumption will naturally increase. This means that small-displacement engines are not necessarily fuel-efficient, and only proper matching can achieve a relatively economical fuel consumption level.

Why is there no sound when playing music via Bluetooth in Buick Excelle?

There is no sound when playing music via Bluetooth in Buick Excelle even though it is connected, which could be due to the multimedia volume on the phone not being turned on, incompatibility between the music playback program and certain vehicle models' pairing codes, the multimedia music feature of the car's Bluetooth not being enabled, or signal interference caused by the Bluetooth function. If the volume on the car's navigation system or the phone is not turned on, there will be no sound from the car's Bluetooth. Simply increase the volume on both devices. Some phones (such as iPhones) have music playback programs that are incompatible with certain vehicle models' pairing codes, allowing only phone calls but not music playback. It is recommended to switch the Bluetooth playback frequency band to resolve this issue. The multimedia music feature of the car's Bluetooth is not enabled. Navigate to the multimedia option on the screen, select Bluetooth music playback, and the issue should be resolved. The media audio on the phone is not turned off, causing signal interference with the Bluetooth function. Go to the Bluetooth settings on the phone, disable the media audio while keeping the phone audio enabled.

What Causes Black Smoke from Gasoline Cars?

Black smoke emitted from a car's exhaust pipe is a relatively common symptom, indicating that the engine's air-fuel mixture is too rich, leading to incomplete combustion, which is a sign of engine malfunction. The main causes include: 1. Poor fuel quality: Using low-quality gasoline can easily lead to such situations. If you accidentally fill up with inferior gasoline that contains more impurities, the combustion efficiency will inevitably decrease significantly, resulting in black smoke from the exhaust pipe. 2. Clogged air filter: This causes the air-fuel mixture to become too rich, leading to insufficient oxygen supply to the engine and incomplete combustion, which results in black smoke from the exhaust pipe. 3. Malfunction in the ignition system: This is likely due to reasons such as spark plug leakage, weak high voltage, or fuel injector leakage.
