The child lock on the Buick Verano is located on the rear doors. The child lock is designed to prevent children in the rear seats from opening the doors and causing dangerous accidents. Taking the 2020 Buick Verano as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4723mm, width 1802mm, height 1466mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm, a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters, and a trunk capacity of 455 liters. The 2020 Buick Verano is equipped with a 1.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 125PS and a maximum power of 92kW. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The front suspension type is MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension type is a torsion beam with Watt's linkage non-independent suspension.

As a parent with children, I highly value the location of the child lock on the Buick Verano. It is positioned on the side edge of the rear door. When you open the rear door, you can find a mechanical knob or sliding switch on the door trim panel near the car frame. Simply twist or slide it gently to activate the lock, which prevents the rear door from being opened from the inside, ensuring children don’t accidentally open the door while the car is moving. This design is thoughtful and practical—my Verano makes it very convenient, especially when traveling with kids, as I always double-check it. I also recommend using it in combination with the window lock for added safety. During routine maintenance, make sure the switch doesn’t accumulate dust, as this may cause it to jam. A simple wipe with a damp cloth periodically will suffice. The exact location is near the door seam, close to the door latch. It’s easy to operate but can be a lifesaver in critical moments.

I've been into cars for quite some time, and I can spot the child lock on the Buick Verano at a glance. There's a small mechanism on the side of the rear door—open the door, and you'll see it in the corner near the car body, usually a black or silver plastic switch. You just flip it to lock the interior handle, ensuring only the outside can open the door. This mechanism is crucial to prevent kids from opening the door while the car is moving. Don’t let it gather dust or get dirty, as it might malfunction; cleaning it periodically is best. The operation is simple, but avoid using too much force to prevent damage. I’ve tested it a few times—it engages smoothly, located near the latch on the inner edge of the door. Combining this with regular vehicle maintenance checks can prevent accidents.

I've been driving the Buick Verano for a while now, and the child lock I use most often is located on the rear door. Open the door and look at a corner on the side—there's a small switch knob. Just give it a gentle turn, and once set, the door can't be opened from the inside, making it safer for kids sitting in the back. The location is easy to find; the car manual mentioned it when I first bought the car, but trying it out in practice was quicker. The key is to ensure the lock doesn't loosen—check that the door is securely closed and test it. It helps reduce risks, especially when driving in the city.

Will crossing the line at night be captured?

Crossing the line at night will be captured. As long as there are electronic surveillance cameras, driving over the line at any time will result in being photographed and fined. Detour to avoid emergencies: If an accident or natural disaster affects the road ahead, making it impassable for an extended period and forcing vehicles behind to detour by crossing the line, this will not be treated as a traffic violation. Follow the instructions of traffic police: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, when traffic signals are malfunctioning and there are traffic police directing on-site, drivers should follow the instructions of the traffic police. Special vehicles performing tasks: If traffic violations such as running a red light or crossing solid lines occur while yielding to special vehicles like fire trucks or ambulances, these actions will not be considered violations. If a penalty notice is issued due to being captured by electronic surveillance, an administrative reconsideration can be requested to revoke the penalty.

Is it normal to have clearance between the upper and lower parts of the crankshaft?

If the clearance is reasonable, it is normal. Otherwise, the high temperature during operation may cause the crankshaft to expand and seize. However, excessive clearance is not acceptable as it will generate significant noise. Introduction to Crankshaft: The crankshaft is the most critical component in an engine. It receives the force transmitted by the connecting rod and converts it into torque, which is then output through the crankshaft to drive other engine accessories. The crankshaft is subjected to the combined effects of centrifugal force from rotating masses, periodically varying gas inertia forces, and reciprocating inertia forces, resulting in bending and torsional loads. Therefore, the crankshaft must have sufficient strength and stiffness, with wear-resistant journal surfaces, uniform operation, and good balance. Crankshaft Structure: To reduce the mass of the crankshaft and the centrifugal force generated during operation, the crankshaft journals are often hollow. Oil holes are drilled on each journal surface to allow the introduction or discharge of oil for lubricating the journal surfaces. To minimize stress concentration, transition arcs are used at the connections between the main journals, crankpins, and crank arms.

Where is the car air conditioning expansion valve located?

Small car air conditioning expansion valves are generally located at the condenser inlet. Below is relevant information about the air conditioning expansion valve: 1. Thermal expansion valve: Also known as a throttle valve, the thermal expansion valve is one of the four major components in a car air conditioning refrigeration system (evaporator, compressor, condenser, and expansion valve). It senses the superheat of refrigerant vapor at the evaporator outlet to adjust the opening degree of the expansion valve, thereby controlling the flow of liquid refrigerant entering the evaporator. 2. Classification: Thermal expansion valves are divided into internally equalized and externally equalized types based on their balancing method: The working principles of internally equalized and externally equalized expansion valves are basically the same, with the difference being that the diaphragm of an internally equalized valve senses the evaporator inlet pressure. When the pressure drop in the evaporator is too large, it reduces the superheat sensed by the power head, causing insufficient valve opening. In contrast, the diaphragm of an externally equalized valve senses the evaporator outlet pressure, avoiding the influence of evaporator pressure drop on valve opening and overcoming the shortcomings of internally equalized valves.

Why don't new cars need to go to the DMV for annual inspection?

Because it can be done online. You can apply online by logging into the DMV website and submitting the relevant materials. Annual inspection regulations: In 2021, the DMV's new regulations state that starting from September 1st, the annual inspection process has been readjusted, and it will no longer be necessary to visit the DMV to collect the inspection certificate. The new regulations indicate that new cars within six years do not require an annual inspection, nor do they need to visit the DMV to collect the inspection certificate. The DMV states that as long as you log into the DMV website, complete the information according to your details, and follow the steps for review to obtain the inspection certificate, the relevant department will mail the required materials or the inspection certificate to the address specified by the vehicle owner. Applicable scope: This only applies to new car owners who need to obtain an inspection certificate from the DMV within six years. However, owners of cars older than six years still need to undergo annual inspections.

Why does the car bounce so much after installing coilover suspension?

It may be due to the damping being set too stiff or too high. Coilover suspension adjustment instructions: The higher the spring seat height, the stiffer the spring performs, and vice versa; When adjusting the spring seat, the vehicle height will also change proportionally (definitely not 1:1); Only when the damping coefficient matches the spring can the highest performance be achieved; Damping is not the bigger the better - excessive damping will cause insufficient spring travel, resulting in severe bouncing of the entire vehicle; Adjusting the shock body height does not affect spring stiffness. Meaning of coilover suspension: Coilover suspension (Height Adjustable Damper) - derived from racing technology, refers to shock absorbers with adjustable (spring) height design; When the vehicle is stationary, the ground clearance at the four corners of the body has a significant impact on the wheel load at that position: Increasing the ground clearance at the left rear corner will increase the load on the left rear wheel and its diagonal wheel (i.e. the right front wheel), while reducing the load on the other diagonal wheels (left front and right rear wheels).
