The air conditioning filter in the Buick Envision is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. To access it, remove the glove compartment and then open the cover of the air conditioning filter to reveal the filter element. The air conditioning filter is a crucial component of the vehicle's air conditioning system and requires regular replacement. Generally, it is recommended to replace the air conditioning filter every 10,000 kilometers. Failing to replace the filter for an extended period can negatively impact the performance of the air conditioning system and the health of the vehicle's occupants. Below is an introduction to the air conditioning functions: 1. If the air quality in your area is poor, you can opt for an air conditioning filter capable of filtering PM2.5 when purchasing a replacement. 2. The air conditioning system is an essential comfort feature in vehicles, and its cooling principle is relatively simple. To activate cooling, press the AC button, which engages the compressor clutch. The engine then drives the compressor, which compresses the refrigerant. 3. The compressor continuously compresses the refrigerant and delivers it to the evaporator. Inside the evaporator, the refrigerant expands and absorbs heat, cooling the evaporator. The cooled evaporator then cools the air blown by the blower, allowing the air conditioning vents to emit cold air. 4. The refrigerant in the vehicle's air conditioning system also requires periodic replacement.

I remember the Buick Envision's cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. I've changed it myself many times, and the steps are quite simple. First, open the glove box, there's a clip or screw inside, loosen it and you can pull out the filter tray. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver, just don't lose any parts. I usually replace the filter with a new one every year or around 10,000 kilometers, a universal one will do, saving money and being eco-friendly. The air inside the car feels much fresher, especially on long drives, it doesn't get stuffy and helps prevent pollen allergies. But if you're a beginner, don't stress, if you can't manage it, just ask at a repair shop—safety first.

What is the function of a car throttle?

The function of a car throttle is to control the engine's air intake flow, thereby affecting the engine's operating conditions. It is often referred to as the "throat" of the engine. Here is some additional information about the throttle: 1. Consequences of failure: Throttle failure can lead to reduced vehicle power, unstable idling, and in severe cases, it can cause the engine fault light to illuminate, as well as a significant increase in fuel consumption. 2. Causes of failure: Throttle failures are often caused by poor air quality and fuel quality. Carbon deposits generated during gasoline combustion can contaminate the throttle due to negative pressure, preventing it from closing properly and leading to throttle failure.

Can the ETC card still be used if it is pulled out?

The ETC machine cannot be used if the card is pulled out, but it can be used again by reinserting it before entering the highway. According to the "Rules for the Use of Non-Stop Rapid Transit Systems," the ETC card must be inserted into the OBU device to function properly; otherwise, user information cannot be read. If the card is removed, you can use the manual lane and have the staff swipe the card. When the ETC card is inserted into the OBU device, a prompt sound will indicate that the device is activated. Without the card, the device remains in a dormant state and cannot recognize vehicle information at toll stations, so the ETC cannot be used if the card is pulled out. ETC is an electronic toll collection system, also known as an automatic road toll system. It is a specialized method for toll roads, commonly seen on highways, toll bridges or tunnels, and certain urban sections to alleviate traffic congestion. ETC Deduction Principles: Highways have one or more ETC lanes. Through microwave short-range communication between the vehicle's windshield-mounted electronic tag and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane, the system uses computer networking technology to settle payments with banks, allowing vehicles to pass toll stations without stopping. This operates on the principle of "pass first, deduct later." Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in queues; Green and eco-friendly: Reduces noise and exhaust emissions by avoiding stops at toll stations; Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by minimizing frequent starts and stops, lowering vehicle wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase traffic efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster and more advanced. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council's "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" explicitly states the goal of "achieving intercity transportation card interoperability in key urban clusters by 2020 and significantly increasing the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC," with a target of "50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020." Future possibilities: Beyond improving ETC installation convenience and passenger vehicle usage rates, future efforts will promote ETC adoption for trucks and explore deeper integration with smart transportation developments like vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-infrastructure coordination, providing comprehensive travel services for car owners. This means more application scenarios will support ETC usage.

Why is the car shaking violently?

The reasons for severe car shaking may include the following three: 1. Unbalanced wheels: Wheel imbalance is a common issue in many cars. Since it's impossible to ensure uniform quality during the manufacturing of tires and steel rims, wheels need to undergo dynamic balancing after assembly. Moreover, as tires wear out over time, periodic dynamic balancing is necessary after certain mileage. 2. Loose suspension components: The chassis suspension consists of various links and support arms, connected through ball joints and rubber bushings. Normally, these connections are tight, but as ball joints and bushings wear out, the components loosen, causing the suspension to become loose and resulting in body shaking while driving. 3. Excessive steering gear clearance: The car's steering system uses a rack-and-pinion mechanism to convert the steering wheel's rotation into wheel movement. Over time, wear between the gear and rack creates play, causing slight lateral wheel movement even without steering input, which leads to a sensation of body shaking.

How to turn off the hill start assist after it is activated?

Hill start assist is a default function that cannot be turned off. Here is some information about hill start assist: 1. This function usually does not have a button. When the car is parked on a slope with the gear in the forward position and the brake pedal is released, the hill start assist will automatically activate. In some vehicles, the function will activate after the brake pedal is pressed. The braking time is only a few seconds, and there is a risk of rolling back if the accelerator is not pressed in time. 2. The hill start assist system on a car is usually integrated with the Electronic Stability Program (ESP). If the ESP on the car remains turned on, the hill start assist function will also remain on by default.
