The Buick GL8 currently has 16 models on sale. The Land Business Class version has a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters, while all other versions have a 70-liter fuel tank. This data is officially published, and owners who have purchased a Buick GL8 can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. All Buick GL8 models require 95-octane gasoline. The Land Business Class version has a fuel consumption of 9.5 to 9.9L per 100 kilometers, allowing a driving range of 667 to 695km on a full tank. Other versions consume 9.8 to 9.9L per 100 kilometers, with a full-tank range of 707 to 714km. During daily driving, it's essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately displayed on the gauge. Most fuel gauges have 5 to 6 segments, and it's advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This occurs because automakers specify the tank capacity from the bottom to a safe fill level, leaving some space between this level and the tank opening. This extra space accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked capacity.

What Gear is Generally Used to Start a Car?

Cars generally start in 1st gear. To start the car, press the clutch and shift into 1st gear, then gently release the clutch while slowly pressing the accelerator to begin moving. 1st gear is primarily used for starting, as it provides low speed and stability. Once the speed stabilizes, accelerate to around 20 km/h and shift into 2nd gear. After driving 5 to 6 meters and reaching about 30 km/h, shift into 3rd gear. 2nd gear serves as a transition between 1st and 3rd gears, while 3rd gear is commonly used for normal driving. However, the car cannot shift directly from 1st to 3rd gear, making 2nd gear an essential transitional gear. Below are specific details on precautions when starting: Proper Use of the Clutch: When starting, learn to use the clutch pedal, accelerator pedal, and brake pedal appropriately. For a smooth and safe start, maintain the correct driving posture, avoid looking down at the controls, and keep your eyes on the road ahead and both sides. Smooth Start and Engine Warm-Up: Aim for a start without jerking, stalling, or surging. Before starting, carefully inspect the surroundings of the vehicle, checking for any obstacles under or around the car. For a cold start, warm up the engine first—the duration depends on the temperature, but generally, wait until the idle speed returns to normal before starting.

What does the Mercedes-Benz SYNC button mean?

SYNC button refers to the dual-zone synchronized temperature control button. After deactivation, different temperatures can be set for the left and right dual-zone air conditioning. The SYNC button on Mercedes-Benz vehicles is a control key on the air conditioning panel. Its function is to switch the temperature control between the driver and passenger sides. When this button is illuminated, it enables synchronized adjustment of the air conditioning temperature on both sides. When the button light is off, the temperatures on both sides can be controlled separately. Mercedes-Benz SYNC button: When the Mercedes-Benz SYNC button is turned on, adjusting the temperature or airflow on one side will synchronize the settings on the other side. Currently, SYNC technology is widely used in multimedia synchronization between music, videos, and text content. For example: displaying lyrics (karaoke effect) simultaneously during MP3 playback or movie subtitles, etc. The use of SYNC technology makes MP3 lyric display more accurate. Early SYNC systems: Early SYNC systems primarily focused on integrating users' mobile phones, players, and other devices into the vehicle's information terminal via Bluetooth, USB, etc. Later, SYNC added features such as vehicle health status detection and automatic emergency call connection. The latest SYNC integrates traffic monitoring, navigation, and messaging functions, connecting drivers with all the information needed during their journey.

What does engine electronic anti-theft mean?

Engine electronic anti-theft refers to a system where the engine's anti-theft device communicates and matches with the vehicle key's encryption code. If the codes do not match, the engine cannot be started, meaning even if the car door is opened, the vehicle cannot be driven away. Below are some precautions for using car keys: 1. When inserting the key into the ignition switch lock cylinder and turning it to the "ON" position, avoid placing items with strong magnetic fields near the ignition switch lock cylinder. 2. Do not expose the key to extremely high or low temperatures. 3. Avoid dropping the key on the ground carelessly and do not squeeze the key with heavy objects.

Reasons Why an Automatic Car Doesn't Move When Reverse Gear is Engaged

Automatic car doesn't move when reverse gear is engaged for the following reasons: 1. Gear not fully engaged: The vehicle's handbrake may not be released, or the synchronizer in the transmission may be stuck. First, check if the gear is fully engaged. If the operation is correct, it may require maintenance. 2. Vehicle malfunction: This could be due to a reverse gear oil circuit leak, a fault in the reverse or high gear clutch, or an issue with the brake system. In such cases, immediate inspection is recommended to minimize transmission damage. Additionally, always ensure the vehicle is completely stationary before engaging reverse gear to avoid vibration issues when reversing.
