Buick Excelle trunk water leakage may be caused by worn or aged sealing strips or trunk deformation. Below is a detailed introduction to the reasons for water leakage in the Buick Excelle trunk: 1. Worn sealing strips: Various parts of the car body use sealing strips to ensure waterproofing. The sealing strips are made of rubber material, which has certain strength and hardness and will not deform under certain pressure conditions. However, long-term exposure to air can easily lead to aging or wear of the sealing strips, eventually causing water leakage in the trunk. 2. Trunk deformation: The design of the car trunk follows certain rules, and normally, the car body has corresponding drainage arc designs in various parts. If the shape of the trunk is damaged, it can easily lead to severe water leakage when exposed to rain.

I've driven a Buick Excelle for ten years and experienced trunk water leakage several times. The most common cause is aging and deformation of the trunk seal strip, allowing rainwater to seep through gaps, especially after prolonged parking in the rain which leads to water accumulation. Another issue is clogged drainage holes—small holes under the floor panel can easily get blocked by leaves and mud, causing water to backflow. Poor post-accident repairs may also result in leaks at sheet metal seams. Last time my trunk leaked, inspection revealed a crack in the right-side seal strip; replacing it fixed the problem. If water gets in, dry it immediately to prevent rust, mold, odors, and metal corrosion. Park on level ground and regularly check seal conditions.

What are the reasons for the reverse radar not displaying?

Reasons and solutions for the reverse radar not displaying: 1. Wiring issues. Check the connection points between the reverse radar wiring and the vehicle's installation, and look for any loose connections, as poor contact can cause the reverse radar to intermittently function. 2. Radar sensor malfunction. Inspect the reverse radar sensors, as they can sometimes fail due to car washing or high-pressure water jet cleaning (also check if the internal wiring is secure). 3. Radar hardware failure. The reverse radar itself may have inherent defects or damage, or there could be loose wiring. It is recommended to visit a professional repair shop for inspection.

Does a newly purchased car need water added to the radiator?

The radiator does not need water added all year if there are no leaks, but it should be checked regularly. Here is some relevant information: 1. However, when a new car reaches a certain mileage, generally every two years or 40,000 kilometers, the coolant should be replaced. If the antifreeze coolant level is found to be below the minimum (the normal capacity of antifreeze coolant should be between MIN and MAX), it is necessary to promptly replenish the coolant for the new car. It is important to emphasize again that the "water" mentioned here refers to antifreeze coolant. 2. Whether it's a new car or an old one, it is not advisable to add tap water casually. Tap water contains many substances that can easily cause rust and scale buildup. Antifreeze coolant, on the other hand, can lower temperatures, regulate heat, and is less prone to deterioration and chemical reactions.

How Many Days Does It Take to Schedule Subject 2?

Subject 2 scheduling results are usually available within 5 working days. However, due to significant variations in the number of test centers and candidates across different regions, there is no fixed timeframe to reference. The scheduling results will be released at the latest two to three days before the scheduled date. You can log in to the website to reconfirm the results, and a text message notification will be sent upon successful scheduling. If unsuccessful, you can continue to schedule for subsequent sessions. The content of the Subject 2 test varies by vehicle type, as detailed below: 1. Basic test items: pole test, hill start, side parking, single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turn, speed-limited passage through a narrow gate, continuous obstacle course, 100-meter gear shifting, and bumpy road driving. 2. For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks, the test must include no fewer than 6 items. (1) Mandatory items for large buses and city buses: pole test, hill start, right-angle turn, single-plank bridge, and continuous obstacle course. (2) Mandatory items for tractors: pole test, hill start, curve driving, right-angle turn, and speed-limited passage through a narrow gate. (3) Mandatory items for medium-sized buses and large trucks: pole test, hill start, side parking, single-plank bridge, and continuous obstacle course. Other test items are randomly selected. 3. For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission cars for the disabled, low-speed trucks, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, and ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, the test must include no fewer than 4 items. (1) Mandatory items for small cars and low-speed trucks: pole test, hill start, and side parking. (2) Mandatory items for small automatic transmission cars and small automatic transmission cars for the disabled: pole test and side parking. (3) Mandatory items for ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles and ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles: pole test, hill start, and single-plank bridge. Other test items are randomly selected.

Can the car cool without turning on the AC?

AC controls the compressor, and it needs to be turned on for cooling. Here are some related details: 1. Modern car air conditioning systems are divided into manual and automatic types. Both manual and automatic air conditioning have an A/C button. Automatic air conditioning only requires setting the desired temperature, and it can automatically select and open or close different air vents, adjust the airflow, and turn the A/C switch on or off based on light sensors and multiple interior temperature sensors to maintain a constant temperature inside the car, ensuring great comfort. With manual air conditioning, you need to adjust the airflow and temperature yourself, and the interior usually does not reach a constant temperature. 2. In hot summer weather, the A/C button should be turned on, which activates the car's compressor to blow cold air. In cold winter, heating has nothing to do with the compressor. The heat source for heating is not obtained from the air conditioning itself but is provided by the car's radiator, which relies on the heat generated by the engine. The blower then blows this heat into the car, consuming almost no energy, so there is no need to turn on the A/C button.

When is the appropriate time to use turn signals?

The use of turn signals is not regulated by time or distance, but rather by proper usage standards. Remember to use turn signals in the following situations: 1. When making a left or right turn. 2. At a distance of 30 to 100 meters from an intersection, turn on the turn signal in the direction of the turn. 3. When changing lanes, ensure you first activate the corresponding turn signal without obstructing the normal flow of traffic in other lanes before proceeding with the lane change. 4. When overtaking, turn on the turn signal. 5. Properly use turn signals when making a U-turn, entering or exiting a roundabout, or starting from a parked position. 6. Correctly use turn signals when merging onto a highway from an on-ramp.
