2021 Buick Excelle center console button instructions are as follows: Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Function: The system is enabled by default. It is generally not recommended to turn it off unless driving on slippery surfaces such as rain or snow. Auto Start-Stop Function: At traffic lights, the engine is temporarily shut off. When the driver's foot leaves the brake pedal, the vehicle will restart. Recirculation/Fresh Air Function: Recirculation means the air inside the car is heated or cooled and then recirculated back into the car, while fresh air allows outside air to enter the car. Use recirculation mode during traffic jams, in tunnels, or when outside air quality is poor. On highways, periodically switch from recirculation to fresh air mode, with recirculation time preferably not exceeding 1 hour. Temperature Zone Synchronization Function: When the temperature zone synchronization is turned on, changing the temperature in the driver's zone will automatically adjust the other zones to the same temperature. When synchronization is turned off, each zone can be set individually to meet the needs of passengers in different positions.

I've been driving the 2021 Buick Excelle for a while, and the center console buttons are quite intuitive. The large knob on the left is for volume control and also functions as the power switch—holding it down puts the entire system to sleep. Among the row of buttons below, the 'media' button switches between music sources like Bluetooth or USB, and the 'home' button conveniently returns you to the main screen. The climate control section is in the center: two knobs adjust temperature and fan speed, with a 'mode' button to toggle between automatic or manual airflow. At the top right, there's a hazard warning light button that flashes when pressed—perfect for emergencies. Below the screen, there's a navigation shortcut button that takes you straight to the map with a single touch. The 'auto' function for the climate control works well—once you set the temperature, it automatically adjusts the fan speed, defogging quickly in winter and keeping you focused on long drives. The physical button layout is clear, reducing accidental touches compared to all-touch screens, making it much more user-friendly.

Young drivers find the Buick Excelle's center console buttons quite stylish. The media keys are plentiful: press 'media' to switch sources, from radio to Spotify; the volume knob feels smooth to the touch and can be pressed in the middle for mute. The AC controls are on the right: twist the temperature knob a few turns to reach the desired setting, and the auto mode adjusts the fan speed automatically, working in tandem with the screen—like toggling air recirculation to reduce fogging. The home button at the bottom returns to the main interface for quick access to navigation or settings. After connecting via Bluetooth, button controls are much faster than touchscreen, especially while driving, minimizing screen glances. Backlit buttons illuminate in the dark, making them easy to locate. It's recommended to use physical buttons alongside the touchscreen to reduce distractions and enhance safety.

Does a BMW 5 Series oil temperature around 120 degrees have any impact?

An oil temperature around 120 degrees Celsius in a BMW 5 Series is normal, but temperatures above 120℃ are considered abnormal. Here’s an introduction to the BMW 5 Series oil temperature: 1. Engine: High engine coolant temperature can increase the internal pressure of the cooling system, leading to potential issues. Besides high coolant temperature, the engine oil may also experience elevated temperatures. This is closely related to the antifreeze. 2. Oil Temperature: High antifreeze temperature can also raise the oil temperature (oil temperature is usually higher than coolant temperature). When the oil temperature is too high (coolant temperature also rises, reducing cooling efficiency), the thermal stability of the oil under high temperatures is severely tested. This is why some oils become thinner at high temperatures, potentially leading to oil burning issues.

Should the Lynk & Co 03 use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

Lynk & Co 03 should use 95 octane gasoline, as this fuel grade is recommended in the vehicle's official user manual. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the user manual, the Lynk & Co 03 also has this information labeled on the fuel tank cap. You can usually determine the required gasoline grade based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane. If the compression ratio is even higher, 98 octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot solely determine the gasoline grade. High compression ratio engines can also be tuned to use lower octane fuel, as other factors like ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If you occasionally use the wrong gasoline grade for the Lynk & Co 03, simply switch back to the correct grade after the current tank is used up. However, prolonged use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower octane fuel, using higher octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increased octane number can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher octane fuel, using lower octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane number lowers the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance is created during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without significant engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues. The vibrations not only affect driving stability but can also cause abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring in extreme cases.

How to Straighten the Car Before Reversing into the Garage?

Here are the methods to straighten the car before reversing into the garage: 1. When the midpoint of the car's rear aligns with the midpoint at the bottom of the garage, straighten the steering wheel. If the car's rear has entered the garage while the front hasn't, and the rear leans towards one side, it's because the steering wheel was turned back too early or too quickly. 2. When the midpoint of the car's rear is already at the midpoint of the garage's bottom, straighten the steering wheel. If the rear has entered the garage while the front hasn't, and the rear leans towards the centerline, it's because the steering wheel was turned back too late or too slowly. 3. When reversing, the front of the car must extend to the middle of the garage's width, and the midpoint of the rear must align with the midpoint at the garage's bottom. If the rear slowly leans to one side, it indicates the direction isn't straight.

What is the bulge in the middle of the rear seat of a car?

The bulge in the middle of the rear seat of a car is part of the vehicle's floor, designed for the smoothness of the chassis. Since the underside of the car's chassis accommodates the exhaust pipe or drive shaft, rear-wheel-drive vehicles typically require a drive shaft to transmit the engine's power to the rear wheels, necessitating such a structural bulge. The reasons for the bulge in the middle of the rear seat are as follows: 1. Rear-wheel-drive vehicles need to accommodate the drive shaft: Cars with front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layouts require space for the drive shaft in the middle. The front-mounted engine transmits power to the rear wheels via the drive shaft. If the drive shaft is too low, it can easily scrape the ground, affecting the car's ground clearance. Raising the vehicle height would impact the car's center of gravity, hence the need for a locally raised floor to protect the drive shaft and enhance the car's stability, ground clearance, and handling. 2. Front-wheel-drive vehicles need to route the exhaust pipe: If the car's chassis is designed low and the vehicle is front-wheel-drive, the middle bulge is designed to provide space for the exhaust pipe. 3. Increasing chassis resilience: Generally, the raised floor can significantly increase the body's strength several times over. This design enhances the chassis's resilience. Many cars without such a bulge have been observed to break upon impact. The semi-circular bulge in the floor acts like a raised steel beam, reinforcing the structure.
