Buick engine power reduction can be attributed to: 1. Poor fuel quality and fuel line blockages; 2. Engine overheating. Taking the 2021 Buick GL8 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5238mm, width 1878mm, height 1776mm, wheelbase 3088mm, fuel tank capacity 66L, and trunk capacity 475L. The 2021 Buick GL8 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 237PS, maximum torque of 350Nm, and maximum power of 174kW, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

What to Do When the Vehicle Deviates During Braking on Wet Roads?

When the vehicle deviates during braking on wet roads, the correct approach is to first firmly grip the steering wheel and avoid slamming on the brakes. In this situation, immediately pressing the brake pedal can easily cause a rollover. If the rear wheels are locked and the pedal is not released, the car may experience a fishtailing phenomenon; if the front wheels are locked and the pedal is not released, the car's direction may become uncontrollable. Below are precautions for safe driving on slippery roads: While driving: On slippery roads, it is advisable to follow the tracks of the vehicle ahead to avoid sliding off the road. Maintain a steady speed in third gear and avoid sudden braking to prevent the vehicle from skidding into a ditch. In case of rear-wheel skidding: If the vehicle's rear wheels skid during braking, immediately release the brake and use a one-press-one-release method (i.e., pumping the brakes), while gently steering in the same direction as the skid to help the vehicle regain stability. For front-wheel skidding, gently steer in the opposite direction of the skid. Starting the vehicle: Apply the throttle smoothly and avoid high RPM starts with a heavy foot on the accelerator. Due to the low tire adhesion on slippery roads, high RPM starts can easily cause tire spin and make it difficult to start the vehicle.

Do Diesel Vehicles Need to Add Urea?

Diesel vehicles must add urea. If urea is not used, the vehicle's engine will automatically decelerate. Additionally, if the urea purity is insufficient or of poor quality, it can also cause the engine to automatically decelerate. Here is more information about urea: 1. Urea is the common name, with the formal name being Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). Other names include vehicle urea, automotive urea, and vehicle environmental urea. 2. Urea is a consumable required in SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) technology. SCR technology was developed by engine manufacturers to meet environmental regulations. SCR stands for Selective Catalytic Reduction Technology. 3. Urea is a liquid used in SCR technology to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) pollution in diesel vehicle exhaust. It consists of 67.5% deionized water and 32.5% high-purity urea. In the SCR system of diesel vehicles, urea catalyzes the reduction of NOx in the exhaust into harmless nitrogen (N2) and water, which are then expelled. 4. Under normal conditions, urea is harmless to humans. However, urea decomposes into ammonia gas at high temperatures. Prolonged exposure to ammonia gas may lead to symptoms such as skin pigmentation or ulcers.

What Kind of Scratches Affect Vehicle Inspection?

Minor scratches on the vehicle's exterior during annual inspection do not have an impact, but obvious rust or damage will affect the inspection. According to the "Motor Vehicle Safety Technical Inspection Items and Methods," the vehicle's exterior must meet the following requirements: Components must be intact: Parts such as bumpers and rearview mirrors should be in good condition. Windshield must be complete: The windshield should be intact, with no cracks or damage in the driver's line of sight, and no mirror-reflective sunshade film should be applied to any windshield. The vehicle body should be symmetrical: The vehicle body should be properly aligned, and the height difference between symmetrical parts on the left and right sides of the vehicle's outer edge should comply with GB-7258 regulations. No protrusions on the exterior: The vehicle's exterior should not have obvious mirror-reflective surfaces, nor any components or structures that could potentially harm pedestrians, cyclists, or other traffic participants. There should be no sharp edges or protrusions that could cause injury. No visible damage: The vehicle body (including the cabin) and its paint should not show obvious signs of rust or damage. Labels should not impair safe driving: Any sprayed, pasted labels, or body advertisements should not interfere with safe driving.

What are Full-Time 4WD and On-Demand 4WD?

Full-Time 4WD and On-Demand 4WD are described in detail as follows: Full-Time 4WD: Full-Time 4WD means that the vehicle is driven by all four wheels independently at all times. It achieves this through a flexibly connected central differential, which then distributes the driving force to all four tires via independent front and rear axle differentials. Unlike purely mechanical differential locks, the differential in Full-Time 4WD can be either a viscous coupling or a multi-plate clutch type, but both allow for a speed difference between the front and rear wheels, as well as between the left and right wheels. Whether a vehicle has Full-Time 4WD entirely depends on the construction of the transfer case. As the core component that manages different driving states of the vehicle, the transfer case largely determines the overall performance of the vehicle. On-Demand 4WD: On-Demand 4WD refers to a drivetrain that switches to four-wheel drive only when necessary, while remaining in two-wheel drive under other conditions. The system automatically switches between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes based on the driving conditions, without requiring manual intervention. On-Demand 4WD differs from Part-Time 4WD, which requires manual switching between two-wheel and four-wheel drive, and Full-Time 4WD, which operates in four-wheel drive under all conditions.

Can someone else go for the vehicle inspection on my behalf?

Vehicle annual inspection can be conducted without the owner's presence, but the proxy must provide a copy of their ID card as well as the owner's ID card and its copy when handling the procedure at relevant locations. Vehicles that fail the annual inspection must be repaired within a specified time limit. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and prohibit further driving. Vehicles that do not undergo the annual inspection without reason or fail the inspection are not allowed to drive on the road or transfer ownership. Vehicle annual inspection is conducted for vehicles that have already obtained official license plates and registration certificates, following the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." Its purpose is to check the main technical conditions of the vehicle and urge owners to strengthen vehicle maintenance and care. According to the relevant provisions of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," small and micro non-operating passenger vehicles must be inspected once every two years within six years; once a year after exceeding six years; and once every six months after exceeding 15 years. Materials required for annual inspection are as follows: "Motor Vehicle Inspection Mark Application Form" (this does not need to be brought, as it is provided on-site for direct filling); motor vehicle registration certificate; compulsory traffic insurance policy; vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate; owner's ID card. If handled by a proxy, the proxy must bring their own ID card.

Why is the air conditioning in the Honda 10th-generation Civic not cooling properly?

If the air conditioning in the Honda 10th-generation Civic is not cooling properly, it may require a refrigerant replacement, or there could be excessive dirt on the condenser surface. Refrigerant needs to be replaced periodically: The refrigerant used in car air conditioning systems is typically r134a, which requires periodic replacement. If not replaced for an extended period, it can affect the cooling efficiency and speed of the air conditioning system. Configuration: The front and rear turn signal covers of the Honda 10th-generation Civic have been changed to transparent, and the fog lights have also been modified. Chrome door handles and side anti-scratch strips have been added, and the wheel design has been updated. High-end models also feature triangular turn signals on the side mirrors, giving a sharper and more dynamic appearance. The rear of the car has been enhanced with chrome trim, and three new color options—Crystal Purple, Titanium Silver, and Crystal Black—have been introduced for the body.
