I'm an old car enthusiast who learned from automotive books. GM isn't a single car—it's the abbreviation for General Motors, a global giant founded in 1908, earlier than many countries. It owns numerous brands like Chevrolet, Buick, and Cadillac. Iconic muscle cars like the Chevrolet Camaro are absolute classics. During WWII, GM helped build military vehicles for the U.S. Army and later drove the entire automotive industry, producing everything from family sedans to luxury SUVs. Today, it collaborates with SAIC in China to manufacture many localized models. If you're curious about specific models, its Chevrolet Silverado pickup or Cadillac Escalade SUV are standout representatives, known for their rock-solid performance. GM vehicles generally offer moderate fuel consumption, easy maintenance, and have had a profound market influence.

I've been driving for over ten years. GM actually stands for General Motors, which isn't a specific car model but the parent company that manufactures vehicles, like the owner of Chevrolet and Buick. I've driven their Chevrolet Cruze - affordable and durable, you see them everywhere on American streets. GM has many automotive brands, with Cadillac being more luxurious. After partnering with SAIC in China, they produced business vehicles like the Buick GL8, which is very suitable for family use. Their designs focus on space and power, with most engines featuring turbocharging, providing smooth acceleration on highways. Maintenance is convenient too, with SAIC-GM 4S shops everywhere and easy-to-find parts. If you like American style, the GM vehicle lineup is worth trying.

The car I drive in China is from SAIC-GM. GM stands for General Motors, and after the joint venture with SAIC, it's called SAIC-GM. It's not a car itself, but produces models like the Chevrolet Malibu, which are quite common and have high sales among family sedans, often seen on the road. The prices are more affordable compared to other joint-venture brands, starting around 150,000 RMB, with complete configurations like parking sensors and automatic air conditioning. In China, GM brands including Buick and Cadillac have undergone localized improvements to adapt to local road conditions. I think it offers good value for money, with moderate fuel consumption for daily commuting and few issues within the three-year warranty period. If you're considering buying a new car, you might want to test drive their products first.

What type of tires does the Outlander use?

This vehicle uses tires of a single size specification across all models, which is 225/55-R18. Below are relevant details about the tires: 1. Tires are the only components of a car that come into contact with the ground, and they are crucial for the vehicle's driving stability and safety. Being rubber products, tires are prone to aging over time, hence they require regular replacement. During routine use, it's essential to replace tires on schedule. Generally, cars need their tires replaced every four years. 2. When purchasing tires, always check the production date carefully. Many may not be aware, but tires have a shelf life. Typically, unused tires have a shelf life of three years. If you find that the tires have been in storage for more than three years at the time of purchase, it's advisable not to proceed with the purchase.

What Causes the Engine Yellow Light on the Tachometer to Illuminate?

There are two main reasons why the engine yellow light on the tachometer illuminates, with the primary reason being vehicle self-inspection. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Vehicle Self-Inspection: When the car's power is turned on, the vehicle undergoes a self-inspection. During this time, not only the engine yellow light but also other fault lights will illuminate simultaneously before turning off together. 2. Engine Fault: If the engine's yellow fault light remains illuminated after the car is started, it indicates that the ECU is alerting to an engine fault. For instance, sensors such as those for water temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, and oxygen sensors, when damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, leading to the illumination of the engine fault light.
