What does the yellow 'd' on the dashboard of the new Excelle mean?
2 Answers
The yellow 'd' on the dashboard of the new Excelle indicates the current gear position of the automatic transmission, showing that the vehicle is in drive mode. Other gear positions of the new Excelle include: 1. 'P' gear, also known as parking gear, used only when parking and leaving the vehicle; 2. 'R' gear is reverse gear, used when the car needs to reverse; 3. 'N' gear is neutral, commonly used when waiting at traffic lights or temporarily parking by the roadside; 4. 'S' gear is sport mode, suitable for use when overtaking. The new Excelle is a compact car under the Buick brand, with a body structure of a 4-door, 5-seat sedan, dimensions of 4609mm in length, 1798mm in width, 1486mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2640mm.
I've been driving a Buick for over a decade, and this yellow D light indicates a transmission fault. Last time my car had this light on, I quickly shifted to manual mode using the +/- buttons next to the gearshift, but could only drive in 3rd gear. The dealership diagnosis showed a stuck solenoid valve, and it cost me 800 yuan to replace the valve body to fix it. Now when the D light comes on, never continue driving at high speeds. It's best to turn off the engine, wait 5 minutes, and restart to try. If the light remains on, you must contact repair immediately. Delaying could burn out the transmission control module, leading to repair costs over ten thousand yuan.
