Engine variable phase refers to the VVT system of the engine, which is the Variable Valve Timing system. Introduction to Engine Variable Phase: Variable phase is a device that allows the camshaft 1 to pulsate and change its timing relative to the drive sprocket 14 mounted on the short shaft 102. It includes followers 119, 110 that rotate with the respective follower shafts 103, 104 mounted on the sprocket. The followers rotate around an axis parallel to the sprocket's rotational axis. Planetary gears 106, 108 transmit rotational motion in phase from the sprocket to the camshaft via the sun gear 107. An angularly adjustable ring cam 117 has an inner contour line that meshes with the followers, periodically transmitting rotational motion to the follower shafts to alter the phase of the motion transmitted to the camshaft. Function of Engine Variable Phase: Engine variable phase is one of the new technologies gradually applied to modern cars in recent years. The use of variable valve timing technology in engines can improve intake charge, increase the charge coefficient, and further enhance the engine's torque and power.

How to switch back from S mode to D mode?

While driving the car, if the vehicle is in S mode, simply pull the gear lever backward once to switch the car's gear to D mode. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. The so-called S mode refers to the car's sport mode, which means high RPM, high torque, and low power. During acceleration, the car relies on high torque. After activating sport mode, the engine's RPM increases, and torque may also increase, thereby enhancing the car's acceleration. 2. Generally, the sport mode in a car is used when climbing slopes or overtaking. It can also be used during high-speed driving. Moderate use of sport mode allows the engine to operate at high RPM, which helps remove carbon deposits inside the engine. 3. While driving, it is not necessary to always use sport mode. Driving in sport mode increases the transmission's load and temperature, which may lead to correspondingly increased wear and higher fuel consumption.

How to flatten the rear seats of the Elysion?

To flatten the rear seats of the Elysion, follow these steps: 1. Retract the seat belt into the fixed frame on the roof, lower the headrest to the lowest position, then pull the strap to unlock the seat back, push the seat back forward, and pull the handle at the back of the seat cushion. 2. Simultaneously pull the entire seat toward your body, rotate the seat into the floor groove, press the seat, and lock the strap onto the fixed hook. 3. To restore the seat to the upright position: Press down on the seat and release the strap, then pull the seat out of the floor groove. 4. Rotate the seat forward to the top. Pull the strap on the seat back upward and pull the seat back to the upright position. Before driving, ensure that the seat and seat back are securely locked.

What is the fuel tank capacity?

Generally, the fuel tank capacity of family cars ranges between 35-55 liters, while mid-size sedans and mid-size SUVs typically have a capacity of 55-70 liters. Large SUVs can have fuel tanks with a capacity of up to 100 liters. The fuel tank capacity usually refers to the maximum capacity as announced by the automobile manufacturer. Advantages: 98-octane gasoline has the advantages of "two highs and two lows," meaning higher anti-knock performance and power output, while containing lower harmful substances and producing less exhaust pollution. Applicable Vehicles: Due to its high octane rating and high price, 98-octane gasoline is mostly used by luxury cars and is often referred to as "premium gasoline." It is also defined as suitable for gasoline-powered vehicles with an engine compression ratio of 11.6 or higher. Note: Using gasoline with a higher octane rating is not necessarily better. It is recommended to use the gasoline grade specified in the vehicle manufacturer's manual.

Can a Car That Uses 95 Octane Gasoline Use 92 Octane Gasoline?

It is possible but not necessary. Here are the differences between 92 and 95 octane gasoline: 1. 92 octane gasoline has slightly lower anti-knock performance compared to 95 octane gasoline. Since engines have different compression ratios, their requirements for gasoline anti-knock performance also vary. Engines with lower compression ratios can use 92 octane gasoline, while those with higher compression ratios require 95 octane gasoline, which has better anti-knock properties. If 92 octane gasoline is used in a high-compression engine, knocking may occur, and frequent knocking can damage the engine. Therefore, it is important to choose the appropriate gasoline grade for your vehicle. 2. Strictly speaking, 92 octane and 95 octane gasoline should not be mixed. However, their chemical compositions and other aspects are relatively similar, and both have strong anti-knock properties. Mixing them generally does not cause significant issues, but to ensure vehicle safety, it is best to use them separately.

What do the buttons on the Buick Excelle steering wheel mean?

Introduction to the use of the Buick Excelle multifunction steering wheel is as follows: The buttons on the right side of the Buick Excelle steering wheel are mainly used for controlling the infotainment system. When the Bluetooth phone system is not enabled, briefly pressing the call/voice recognition button will activate the voice recognition system; when the radio is playing, pushing the volume adjustment button SRC up or down adjusts the radio station up or down; when an external device is playing, selecting the previous or next track can be achieved by holding the button for fast forward or rewind. The buttons on the left side of the Buick Excelle steering wheel are used for controlling the cruise control system. Press the activation button, and the control indicator light on the instrument cluster will illuminate white. After accelerating to the desired speed, press the SET button to save and maintain the current speed, and the control indicator light on the instrument cluster will turn green, at which point the accelerator pedal can be released.

Can Low-Grade Cars Use High-Octane Gasoline?

It is not recommended to use high-octane gasoline; just follow the official recommendations. The reasons are as follows: 1. More expensive gasoline is not necessarily better for your car. 2. The octane number represents the gasoline's anti-knock performance, not that higher is always better. Car owners should choose the appropriate octane gasoline based on the engine compression ratio specified in the vehicle's manual. 3. Blindly selecting gasoline with an excessively high octane number can alter the ignition timing, leading to carbon deposits in the cylinders and, over time, affecting the engine's lifespan. 4. If a high-compression engine uses low-octane gasoline, it can cause knocking, accelerate component aging, and increase the likelihood of malfunctions. 5. Every car's manual specifies the required gasoline octane. Forcing the use of high-octane gasoline in a car designed for low-octane will not improve efficiency or power but may damage the engine.
