Pour cooking oil or engine oil into the keyhole, then gently and slowly pull it out. If pouring oil doesn't work, find a hard object to tap slowly inside the lock, then pull it out gradually. If both methods above fail, you can only call a locksmith and seek professional help to unlock it. For keys with similar top and bottom holes, you can mark one side of the key to prevent the key from being inserted backwards and getting stuck in the keyhole.

How many kilometers can a Buick Excelle run after the fuel gauge light comes on?

When the fuel gauge light comes on, an average family sedan can still run approximately 50-90 kilometers. Normal driving: There are requirements in this regard. The vehicle's fuel tank must ensure a driving range of 500-600 kilometers, meaning that vehicles with higher fuel consumption will have larger fuel tanks. When the vehicle's fuel gauge indicator light comes on, the standard driving distance at this point is 50 kilometers, which is considered normal driving. Buick fuel consumption: The Buick Excelle model should still have about 5 liters of fuel left in its tank. It's hard to estimate when driving in the city due to traffic congestion and numerous traffic lights. Therefore, when the vehicle's fuel indicator light comes on, you should quickly find a gas station to refuel; otherwise, the vehicle may become unable to run due to lack of fuel.

What's the reason for the malfunction of the Buick Excelle remote key?

If the remote key is not working, one situation to rule out is insufficient battery power. A dead battery can also cause a situation that resembles remote malfunction. Therefore, replace the key battery to see if the situation improves. Four possible scenarios: First, the key's transmitter is broken, sending incorrect commands. Second, the car's receiver is faulty and cannot control the door. Third, the door lock is broken and cannot be locked at all. Fourth, the battery in the key is dead. Greatest advantage: All the above issues can be resolved at a regular repair shop. A car remote key refers to the wireless remote function of the central locking system. The owner does not need to insert the key into the lock to open or close the door from a distance. Its greatest advantage is: regardless of day or night, without needing to locate the lock, you can remotely and conveniently unlock (open) and lock (close) the door.

Why does the Buick Excelle shake severely when the air conditioning is turned on?

When the air conditioning is turned on during normal vehicle use, the operation of the air conditioning compressor increases the engine load, causing the engine speed to drop and resulting in noticeable vehicle shaking. Idle Speed Boost Device: Most vehicles are equipped with an engine air conditioning idle speed boost device. When the air conditioning compressor is operating, the air conditioning system simultaneously sends a command to increase the engine speed to the required range, thereby resolving the issue of engine shaking when the air conditioning is on. Main Faults: Engine surging accompanied by shaking is a common and challenging automotive issue. The primary cause is often excessive tire inflation. Appropriately increasing the tire inflation requirement can reduce rolling resistance and save fuel when the tire is overinflated.

What is the warranty period for the Buick Envision?

According to the official Buick website, the warranty period for Buick vehicles is: 3 years or 100,000 kilometers. Warranty period: The time limit and mileage limit are subject to whichever comes first. For example, if the car has been driven for 2 years but the mileage has already exceeded 100,000 kilometers, the warranty is expired; if the car has only been driven 10,000 kilometers but the time has reached 3 years, it is still considered past the warranty period. Vehicle warranty: During the vehicle warranty period, as long as the malfunction or part damage occurs under normal usage conditions as specified, the manufacturer will provide free repairs or replacement of corresponding parts for the owner. However, this does not mean that you can "repair as you wish" just because the car is within the warranty period, nor can it be simply understood as "everything is covered."

Why can the Highlander's 72-liter fuel tank only be filled with a little over 60 liters?

Highlander's 72-liter fuel tank can only be filled with a little over 60 liters due to the fuel tank structure. Toyota Highlander Fuel Tank: The fuel tank capacity of the Toyota Highlander is 72 liters. Maintenance of the Toyota Highlander Fuel Tank: Check and remove accumulated water and sediment in the fuel tank, and inspect for any oil leaks at the fuel pipe joints and switches. For fuel tank caps equipped with air valves and vapor valves, also check if the vent holes are clear. The filter screen at the fuel filler neck should be kept intact to prevent impurities from entering the fuel tank during refueling, which could clog the fuel lines. The sealing gasket on the fuel filler cap should also be intact to prevent fuel from spilling out while driving.
