Buick GL8 uses a 9-speed automatic manual transmission (AT). The usage methods and advantages of AT transmission are as follows: Usage methods of AT transmission: AT transmission combines both manual and automatic shifting modes. The mode marked with 'AT' or simply 'A' refers to the automatic shifting mode, while the mode marked with 'MT' or 'M' refers to the manual shifting mode. In AT mode, you can use the D gear as the forward gear. In MT mode, you need to manually push the gear lever to the plus or minus gear to adjust the forward gear. Advantages of AT transmission: AT transmission is the most widely used and popular transmission on the market today. It can buffer the power impact of the engine and, combined with the mechanical combination of planetary gears, has stable performance and can withstand high torque.

I've driven the Buick GL8 several times and found its transmission exceptionally smooth. It's equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission, the Hydra-Matic 9AT model independently developed by General Motors. With more gears and faster shifting, you can hardly feel any jerks while driving, especially during high-speed cruising or in congested urban areas. This design improves fuel efficiency, helping me save on gas money. Compared to the previous 6AT transmission, it has made significant progress in both performance and comfort. As a dad who frequently takes family trips, I particularly value a quiet and stable ride, and the GL8 does well in this regard. The transmission pairs well with the 2.0T engine, providing timely acceleration response and no issues with hill climbing. Daily maintenance is straightforward—just an oil change—making it a worry-free drive.

What are the body dimensions of the Avancier?

The Avancier's body dimensions are 4816mm in length, 1942mm in width, and 1669mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2820mm. The Avancier is the flagship model of GAC Honda, featuring excellent body dimensions. However, it currently does not offer a 7-seater version and maintains a 5-seater layout, which results in outstanding rear passenger space. For the interior, the Avancier uses a large amount of soft materials and leather, complemented by extensive wood grain trim and chrome accents. The floating central touchscreen and multifunction steering wheel maintain a strong sense of technology. The Avancier is equipped with two powertrain options: a 1.5T CVT (producing 193 horsepower and 243 Nm of torque) and a 2.0T ZF 9AT (delivering 272 horsepower and 370 Nm of torque).

What Happens When the Tire Pressure Differs by 10?

A difference of 10 kPa in tire pressure between the left and right tires is within the normal range. If the difference exceeds 10 kPa, the car may experience pulling or swaying. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressures for different types of tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: Should not exceed 3.5 bar. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and pulling, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overextends the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the car during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. Sharp objects like nails or glass on the road can easily penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks, blowouts, or even tire bursts.

What is the priority order when vehicles from two adjacent lanes merge into the same lane?

When vehicles from the left and right lanes merge into the same lane, the vehicle from the left lane must yield to the vehicle from the right lane. Lane changes must not affect the normal passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Article 35 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that lane changes must not affect the normal passage of other vehicles or pedestrians and must comply with the following regulations: continuous lane changes across more than two lanes are prohibited; when vehicles from the left and right lanes merge into the same lane, the vehicle from the left lane must yield to the vehicle from the right lane; on road sections with alternating solid and dashed lane dividers, vehicles on the solid line side are strictly prohibited from changing lanes; lane changes should not be too slow, as driving long distances straddling the line can disrupt other vehicles—generally, lane changes should be completed within 50-60 meters; each lane change carries inherent risks, so frequent lane changes are prohibited. Drivers changing lanes across two lanes at once may experience blind spots, especially when merging into the second lane, which can easily lead to accidents. Additionally, random lane changes may result in fines.

Is there a fine for not yielding to straight-going vehicles when turning left?

Failing to yield to straight-going vehicles when turning will result in a fine and a deduction of 3 points. Below is relevant information about traffic violations: 1. How to check for traffic violations: Methods to check vehicle violations: Log in to the local public security traffic police website or vehicle management office website to check for violations. However, registration is required, and query results may be delayed; Visit the local urban traffic police detachment to apply for a violation check. You need to bring your driver's license and ID. 2. Traffic violation handling process: Prepare materials; Go to the vehicle management office; Pay the fine. Article 98 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that public security traffic management departments shall make their working systems and procedures public, establish a supervision system for police conduct and discipline, and consciously accept supervision from society and the public.

What are the reasons for uneven left and right suspension height?

The reasons for uneven left and right suspension height include detachment of the shock absorber connecting pin (rod), wear or rupture of rubber bushings (cushions), insufficient shock absorber oil, or presence of air. Below is relevant information about air suspension: 1. Introduction: Air suspension generally refers to the air suspension system. Typically, vehicles equipped with air-adjustable suspension have ground clearance sensors near the front and rear wheels. Based on the output signals from these sensors, the vehicle's computer determines changes in body height and then controls the air compressor and exhaust valves to automatically compress or extend the springs, thereby lowering or raising the chassis ground clearance to enhance high-speed stability or off-road capability. 2. Variable stiffness of air suspension: Variable stiffness refers to the characteristic of air springs, compared to leaf springs or coil springs, where stiffness changes with load, controlled by height valves. A direct experience is that when riding in a large truck with leaf springs when empty, it feels like the truck is bouncing on the road at a high frequency. In contrast, with air springs, whether empty or fully loaded, the ride feels very similar.

What colors does the Leiling have?
