New energy vehicle charging buzzing sound reasons are as follows: Dust accumulation in charging system: Over time, dust accumulation in the charging system can also produce louder sounds. During charging, new energy vehicles generate static electricity, which attracts environmental dust to the charging system, leading to poor heat dissipation. This causes the temperature to spike immediately when the charging gun is plugged in, forcing the fan to operate at maximum speed continuously. Heat from current-voltage conversion components: The heat generated by current-voltage conversion components triggers the cooling fan of the electronic control system, which is a normal phenomenon. If the ambient temperature is low with good heat dissipation, the fan may not start or operate at low speed. However, if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees, the fan will start running, and if it exceeds 50 degrees, the fan will operate at high speed, producing a noticeable buzzing sound that the owner can hear.

I often hear a buzzing sound when charging my new energy vehicle, which is the cooling fan at work. During charging, the battery generates heat, and the fan must rotate at high speed to cool the battery and prevent overheating damage. Especially when using fast charging, the higher power and greater heat make the sound more noticeable, similar to the noise from an outdoor air conditioning unit. Some models' inverters produce vibration sounds when converting AC to DC, and combined with the fan's rotation, this creates the buzzing noise. High ambient temperatures or dust clogging the fan can increase the volume. As long as the charging indicator light is on normally and there are no issues with speed or mileage, there's no need to worry. I recommend regularly checking and cleaning the fan vents to reduce noise. If the sound suddenly becomes harsh or is accompanied by unusual vibrations, then it's time to visit a professional shop for inspection, as it could indicate a fan malfunction or other issues. Overall, this is a normal part of electric vehicle design.

What to Do When the Car is Too Close to the Left Side?

Straighten back a little, then drive forward to the right a bit, and straighten back again. Repeating this two or three times should do the trick. Depending on the size of the space, if you realize it's not suitable right after entering, you can try reversing out the same way and then re-entering. If the car isn't too close, you can make slight adjustments. If it's extremely close, you'll need to be very careful and move out bit by bit.

How to adjust the low beam height of the 2021 Malibu XL?

Enter the driver's cabin and you can see the headlight height adjustment knob on the left side of the dashboard. Adjust according to the headlight height levels marked on the knob. When the highest light position is needed, turn the knob to the "0" position. To lower the light by one level, rotate the knob to the "1" position. The "2" position provides a relatively low light height. When the lowest light position is required, turn the knob to the "3" position.

How to Deal with Speeding?

If the speed exceeds the speed limit by less than 10%, a warning will be issued. On roads with a speed limit below 50 km/h, if the speed exceeds the speed limit by 10% or more but less than 20%, a fine will be imposed. If the speed exceeds the speed limit by 20% or more but less than 50%, by 50% or more but less than 70%, or by 70% or more, a fine will be imposed. On roads with a speed limit between 50 km/h and 80 km/h, if the speed exceeds the speed limit by 10% or more but less than 20%, a fine will be imposed. If the speed exceeds the speed limit by 20% or more but less than 50%, by 50% or more but less than 70%, or by 70% or more, a fine will be imposed.

How to Turn on the High Beam on a Mercedes-Benz?

There are two methods to turn on the high beam: The first method is to pull the left-hand stalk toward the driver to activate the high beam. Releasing the stalk will automatically reset it and turn off the high beam. The second method is to push the stalk away from the driver, which will keep the high beam on continuously. Below is an introduction to the high beam: 1. Vehicle lights adjust the intensity of light based on the distance of the filament: The high beam is focused at its focal point, emitting light that travels parallel, is more concentrated, and brighter, allowing it to illuminate distant and high objects. The low beam is positioned beyond its focal point (between 1x and 2x the focal length), emitting light in a divergent pattern to illuminate a larger area of nearby objects. 2. The difference between high beam and low beam: Both are used for nighttime illumination, but the high beam has a higher angle and longer range, while the low beam has a lower angle and shorter range. 3. It is generally advisable not to use the high beam when driving in the city: Urban areas typically have good lighting conditions. The high beam's elevated angle can easily dazzle oncoming drivers and pedestrians, impairing their vision and posing safety risks, as well as being considered impolite driving behavior. 4. Alternately switching the high beam on and off at night can serve as a substitute for the horn to alert nearby pedestrians and vehicles: This helps avoid excessive noise. On highways or in rural areas without streetlights, using the high beam can expand the field of vision. However, when encountering oncoming traffic, it is recommended to switch to the low beam for safety and courtesy considerations.

How to activate one-touch window lift for the 2021 Excelle?

To activate the function, first start the vehicle. Press and hold the switch to lower the window completely for 5 seconds without releasing, then press and hold to raise the window to the top for 5 seconds before letting go. Once the learning process is completed, the feature will be enabled. After activating the auto-lock feature, the vehicle will automatically lock the doors while driving. This function typically activates when the speed exceeds 15 km/h. When the car is stationary, the gear lever is in position P, and the ignition is turned off, all doors and the trunk lid will automatically unlock.

How to File an Insurance Claim for a Windshield Damaged by a Stone?

After the accident occurs, preserve the accident scene and immediately report the incident to the vehicle's insurance company. If the third-party loss involves road facilities or another vehicle, it is necessary to report the incident to the traffic police department. Insurance company personnel will arrive at the scene and issue an "Inspection Report," while the traffic police department will also arrive and issue an "Accident Determination Certificate" on-site.
