The reasons for the malfunction of the Envision's engine start-stop system are: 1. Seatbelt not fastened; 2. Driver's door not closed; 3. Battery temperature too high or too low; 4. Insufficient battery charge; 5. Vehicle positioned on a steep slope; 6. Cabin heating or cooling in progress, yet to reach an acceptable temperature; 7. HVAC system set to full defrost mode with the blower on high speed; 8. Engine not yet reached normal operating temperature, transmission not engaged in forward gear. Taking the 2021 Envision as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4694mm, width 1839mm, height 1686mm, wheelbase 2750mm, and curb weight 1610kg.

With years of experience in auto repair, I've encountered various situations where the Buick Envision's auto start-stop system malfunctions. The most common cause is an aging or undercharged battery, as the system relies on sufficient power to restart the engine. Extreme cold or hot weather can also trigger failures, as temperature sensors automatically disable the system to protect the engine. Additionally, a dirty or faulty brake switch sensor may fail to send signals, making the system think the vehicle is in motion and preventing auto stop activation. Software bugs are another issue, often requiring a firmware update at the dealership. Running the AC at maximum can also interfere, as the system prioritizes continuous engine operation for power supply. I recommend first checking battery health and replacing it if necessary – never underestimate the importance of maintenance.

What are the speed limits for two-lane and three-lane highways?

Highways with two lanes and three lanes have different speed limits for each lane, as detailed below: Two-lane speed limits: For highways with two lanes in the same direction, the speed limit for the right lane is 60 to 100 kilometers per hour, while the left lane is 100 to 120 kilometers per hour. Three-lane speed limits: For highways with three lanes in the same direction, the speed limit for the right lane is 60 to 90 kilometers per hour, the middle lane is 90 to 110 kilometers per hour, and the left lane is 110 to 120 kilometers per hour. According to Article 78 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," highways must indicate the speed limits for each lane. The maximum speed must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed must not be lower than 60 kilometers per hour. Article 67 states that pedestrians, non-motor vehicles, tractors, wheeled special machinery vehicles, articulated buses, full trailers, and other motor vehicles with a design speed of less than 70 kilometers per hour are prohibited from entering highways. The maximum speed limit indicated on highway speed limit signs must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour. When driving on a highway, if a vehicle exceeds the speed limit by less than 20%, the driver will not be penalized with demerit points. If the vehicle exceeds the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50%, the driver will be penalized with 6 demerit points. If the vehicle exceeds the speed limit by more than 50%, the driver will be penalized with 12 demerit points.

Why is the left side of the car body lower than the right side?

The reasons for the left side of the car body being lower than the right side are as follows: 1. There may be a problem with the shock absorber on one side of the car. 2. Or there may be an issue with the tire pressure of the car. Additional information: 1. Introduction to shock absorbers: Shock absorbers are wear-prone parts during car use. The performance of the shock absorbers directly affects the smoothness of the car's ride and the lifespan of other components, so the shock absorbers should always be kept in good working condition. 2. The reason for installing shock absorbers: To quickly dampen the vibration between the frame and the body, and to improve the smoothness and comfort of the car's ride, shock absorbers are generally installed on the car's suspension system. The most widely used type in cars is the double-acting telescopic shock absorber.

Does exceeding the speed limit at the starting point of a section count as speeding if the average speed over the entire section is within the limit?

Exceeding the speed limit at the starting point of a section but maintaining an average speed within the limit over the entire section still counts as speeding. Below are some common traffic violations and their related penalties: 1. Running a red light: This is one of the most common violations. Under the new traffic regulations, running a red light results in a 6-point deduction. 2. Driving without a license: If a driver continues to operate a vehicle while their license is suspended, they will face a fine and up to 15 days of detention. Driving without a license or with a revoked license results in 15 days of detention and a fine. 3. Overloading or overcapacity: For passenger vehicles exceeding the rated capacity by less than 20% or freight vehicles exceeding the rated load by less than 30%, a fine will be imposed. Exceeding these limits results in higher fines. 4. Drunk driving: Driving under the influence of alcohol leads to a 3-month suspension of the driver's license and a fine. Driving a commercial vehicle under the influence results in the same penalties. 5. Speeding: Exceeding the speed limit by more than 50% results in a fine and the revocation of the driver's license.
