The reasons why the Excelle's speed does not increase when stepping on the accelerator are: clogged fuel lines, clogged spark plugs, or carbon buildup in the throttle. Taking the 2020 Excelle as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4468mm, width 1765mm, height 1469mm, wheelbase 2611mm, fuel tank capacity 40l, and body weight 1070kg. The 2020 Excelle has a front suspension of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension of compound torsion beam non-independent suspension, with a maximum horsepower of 107ps, maximum torque of 133nm, maximum power of 79kw, and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

My Buick Excelle also experienced the issue of not accelerating when pressing the throttle before. This is usually a problem with the fuel system, such as an aging fuel pump not supplying enough fuel, or clogged fuel injectors preventing fuel from spraying, causing the engine to not receive sufficient fuel. Additionally, a dirty air filter can obstruct air intake, making the air-fuel mixture too lean. Ignition system failure is also a common cause, with too much carbon buildup on spark plugs or damaged ignition coils failing to spark. If transmission slippage occurs in an automatic transmission car, it could be due to worn torque converters or clutch plates failing to transmit power. A clogged catalytic converter can prevent exhaust gases from escaping, leaving the engine powerless. I must remind you not to press the throttle hard for extended periods, as it can easily damage the car. First, perform a simple check: see if the air filter is clean and try replacing the oil filter. If you can't fix it yourself, take it to a professional repair shop immediately to diagnose the ECU data stream and avoid more serious damage. Regular maintenance should include periodic cleaning of the fuel system to prevent such faults from recurring.

How to Use a Jack?

First, before using the jack, you need to park the car properly and place a safety warning triangle 50-150 meters behind the vehicle. Next, align the groove of the jack with the reinforced support point under the car's chassis. The exact support point should be determined based on the position marked by the car manufacturer. Finally, connect the accompanying wrench and sleeve to the back of the jack, and then simply rotate it to adjust the height of the jack.

What does sync mean on the air conditioning?

The sync on the car air conditioning refers to the synchronization button of the dual-zone automatic air conditioning. When the button light is on, the temperature of the air outlets on both sides of the car is the same and adjusted synchronously. That is, when adjusting the temperature on one side, the air outlets on both sides will have the same temperature. After releasing the sync, different temperatures can be set for the left and right dual-zone air conditioning. Dual-zone automatic air conditioning means there are two temperature zones, allowing the left and right sides of the front space to independently adjust the temperature. Vehicles equipped with dual-zone automatic air conditioning can meet the different temperature requirements of passengers in two different positions inside the car. Independent temperature zones allow for flexible adjustment between different temperature differences. Car air conditioning consists of a compressor, condenser, throttle element, evaporator, fan, and necessary control components, used to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the car. Working principle: When the compressor is working, it sucks in low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator. After compression, the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant increase, and it is sent to the condenser. In the condenser, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant transfers heat to the outside air passing through the condenser and liquefies into a liquid. The liquid refrigerant flows through the throttle device, where its temperature and pressure decrease, and then enters the evaporator. In the evaporator, the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the inside air passing through the evaporator and evaporates into a gas. The gas is then sucked into the compressor for the next cycle. In this way, through the circulation of the refrigerant in the system, the heat from the inside air is continuously absorbed and discharged to the outside air, gradually lowering the temperature inside the car.

How to Install a BYD Charging Pile?

The installation of a BYD charging pile mainly includes four processes: confirmation of charging conditions, application for power supply scheme, installation construction, and acceptance application. First, after signing the car purchase intention agreement with the manufacturer or 4S store, complete the procedures to confirm the charging conditions for the car purchase. These include the car purchase intention agreement, the applicant's identity proof, proof of ownership or usage rights of a fixed parking space, the application form for installing an electric vehicle charging device in the parking space (approved with the property owner's seal), and the floor plan of the parking space (garage) or photos of the site environment. After the car manufacturer or 4S store accepts the user's application, upon verifying the authenticity and completeness of the user's documents, they will coordinate with the power supply company to conduct an on-site feasibility survey for power construction at the agreed time. After formally signing the car purchase contract, the user can either personally or through the car manufacturer or 4S store submit an application to the local power supply company's market department (customer service center). The market department of the power supply company will provide an official response to the power supply scheme within 7 working days. The user should confirm with the power supply company's market department (customer service center) within the validity period. Once the power supply scheme is confirmed, the car manufacturer or 4S store will organize the construction of charging facilities. The selection of charging pile equipment must comply with national requirements, though the construction companies chosen by different car manufacturers may vary. After the construction of charging facilities is completed, submit an acceptance application to the local power supply company's market department (customer service center). Upon passing the inspection and completing related procedures (signing the power supply contract), the power supply company will complete the installation of the electric meter and power connection within 5 working days.

What does the MODE button mean?

The mode button on a car is used to switch between different modes. The purpose of the mode button is to allow the driver to easily control various modes of the car, helping the driver stay focused and ensuring safety during the journey. The function of the mode button depends on its location: If the mode button is located on the central control panel, it is used to switch the air conditioning airflow modes, typically cycling between foot-level, head-level, and windshield defogging modes. If the mode button is placed on the steering wheel, it is used to switch multimedia modes, allowing the driver to toggle between the car's multimedia options such as radio, CD, or USB. It cycles through FM/AM/online radio/USB/local storage/Bluetooth music modes. If the mode button is in the air conditioning control area of the central console, it means it can switch the air conditioning's airflow modes.

What does VIN code mean?

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code assigned to a vehicle, used to identify the manufacturer, engine, chassis number, and other specifications of the car. It serves as a unified global identification system for road vehicles (essentially the car's ID card), simplifying vehicle information retrieval and improving the accuracy and efficiency of fault feedback. China's Ministry of Mechanical Industry issued the "Vehicle Identification Code Management Rules" (GB/T16735-1997, GB/T16736-1997) as early as December 25, 1996, clearly stipulating that all newly produced vehicles in China after January 1, 1999, must use the VIN. The VIN consists of three parts: 1. World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI): The WMI code must be applied for, approved, and filed by the country of origin before use. It is a unique combination of letters or digits assigned by national authorities to identify a specific manufacturer. The first character indicates the country or region of production, while the second and third characters identify the manufacturer or company. 2. Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS): Located in the second part of the VIN (positions 4-9), the VDS consists of six characters that describe the general characteristics of the vehicle. The order and meaning of these characters are determined by the manufacturer. For example, passenger cars indicate type, series, body style, engine type, and restraint system; trucks specify model, series, chassis, cab type, engine type, brake system, and gross vehicle weight rating; buses denote model, series, body type, engine type, and brake system. The last character of the VDS is a check digit to prevent input errors. If fewer than six characters are used, the remaining positions are filled with manufacturer-selected letters or numbers. 3. Vehicle Indicator Section (VIS): Located in the third part of the VIN (positions 10-17), the VIS is an eight-character code assigned by the manufacturer according to international conventions. The first character (position 10) indicates the model year (ensuring no repetition for 30 years). The letters and numbers used are: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (excluding 0, I, O, Q, U, Z). Specific years are determined by international standards. To prevent confusion, the letters "I," "O," and "Q" are not used in the VIN, leaving 33 available symbols. Meaning of VIN codes: The first three characters of the VIN indicate the country of origin, manufacturer, and vehicle type. For example, LFW refers to trucks, LFP to passenger cars, LFB to buses, LFN to incomplete vehicles, LFD to spare codes, LFS to special vehicles, LFT to trailers, and LFM to multipurpose passenger vehicles. Here, "L" stands for China, "F" for first, "P" for passenger, "W" for work, "B" for bus, "N" for incomplete, "M" for multipurpose, "S" for special, and "T" for trailer. Off-road trucks, dump trucks, semi-trailer tractors, and passenger-cargo vans are classified as trucks. Jeep-type vehicles include both off-road and non-off-road passenger cars. Passenger cars converted from buses fall under the dual-purpose bus category. If the vehicle model code includes a "5," it indicates a special-purpose vehicle. Apart from passenger-cargo vans, these can also be considered trucks, with bodies resembling passenger cars.

What is the function of antifreeze?

Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block or head when the vehicle is parked in cold winter conditions. Antifreeze should not be mixed with water. As a type of alcohol-based chemical reagent, antifreeze provides freeze and rust protection. Adding water can alter its properties and reduce its effectiveness. Functions of antifreeze: Antifreeze is a coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and providing year-round protection against scale and corrosion. Composition of antifreeze: The main components of antifreeze are 50% pure water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances. Types of antifreeze: Antifreeze is generally categorized into three types: ethanol-water type, glycerol-water type, and ethylene glycol-water type. Can different antifreezes be mixed? It is necessary to use antifreeze from the same brand. Different brands may have varying production formulas, and mixing them could lead to chemical reactions between additives, rendering them ineffective.
