The cigarette lighter fuse box in the Buick Excelle is located beneath the interior trim panel on the side of the driver's center console. Simply pry open the trim panel to access it. The fuse box cover typically includes a diagram that labels each fuse number and its corresponding function. The Buick Excelle is a model under SAIC General Motors, with body dimensions of 4419mm in length, 1814mm in width, and 1487mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2685mm. In terms of exterior design, the Buick Excelle features the brand's signature winged chrome grille, giving the front fascia a sharper and more robust appearance. The combination of black piano vertical grille and high-gloss chrome winged grille naturally draws the visual focus of the front end to the emblem.

I've been driving a Buick Excelle for several years and am very familiar with the location of the cigarette lighter fuse box, which is usually inside the dashboard cover under the driver's seat. Open that small plastic cover, and you'll find the fuse box. The cigarette lighter fuse is typically 15 amps, marked with a lighter icon or the words 'cigarette lighter.' I remember last year when the cigarette lighter suddenly stopped working, it was because the fuse had blown due to overloading from a high-power charger I plugged in. When replacing it, make sure the engine is off, and simply insert the new fuse. The design is reasonable, making daily maintenance easy; if issues occur frequently, check for short circuits in devices or avoid using high-power accessories too often. The car's cigarette lighter isn't just for lighting cigarettes but also for charging, so a blown fuse can affect these functions. Timely repairs are crucial to ensure driving safety and avoid disruptions.

I drive a Buick Excelle for my daily commute, and the cigarette lighter fuse box is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. The operation is quite simple: open the glove box, and with a little force, you can remove the back cover to reveal a row of various fuses. Look for the one labeled 'Cigarette Lighter,' usually marked as 15 amps. Last time my cigarette lighter stopped working, I checked and found the fuse had blown. After easily replacing it, everything returned to normal. Always turn off the engine before replacing the fuse to avoid the risk of a short circuit. The location of the cigarette lighter fuse box is well-designed, making it easy for owners to handle it themselves. Common causes of fuse failure include plugging in high-power devices by mistake or aging. It's advisable to keep some spare fuses on hand for emergencies. The manual provides detailed illustrations to guide you through the process, enhancing driving comfort.

Is it okay to use 92 gasoline regularly and occasionally switch to 98 gasoline?

Under normal circumstances, the gasoline octane rating for a car should follow the instructions provided in the vehicle's user manual. Alternatively, the owner can check the manufacturer's recommended gasoline rating on the inside of the fuel filler cap. If the recommended rating is 92, there is no need to use 98-octane gasoline. Below are some relevant points: 1. 98-octane gasoline: 98-octane gasoline currently has the highest octane rating in China. Although it offers better anti-knock performance and higher power output, vehicles designed for lower-octane gasoline should not blindly switch to higher-octane fuel. Higher-octane gasoline is more suitable for engines with larger compression ratios, while engines designed for 92-octane gasoline usually have smaller compression ratios. Using 98-octane gasoline in such engines may increase knocking. 2. Avoid mixing gasoline grades: Different octane ratings of gasoline should not be mixed. For example, mixing 92 and 98-octane gasoline is not recommended. In special cases, occasional mixing once or twice may not cause issues, but long-term use could negatively affect the engine, potentially leading to carbon buildup, increased fuel consumption, and other issues.

How to Check the Production Year of Your Car

There are 4 methods to check your car's production date: 1. Check the vehicle's identification plate. The plate is usually located below the front passenger door and visible when the door is opened. Besides indicating the vehicle model, it also displays important information such as manufacturer, production date, and power specifications. 2. Check the vehicle's factory certificate. This document clearly states the vehicle brand, model, displacement, production date, and other details, which can usually be cross-referenced with the information on the identification plate. 3. Check the vehicle registration certificate. The registration certificate also records the vehicle brand, production date, and other information. 4. Determine the vehicle year through the VIN. Similar to a personal ID card, each VIN is unique to a vehicle, allowing us to identify the production year.

Can a Car Be Locked Without Turning Off the Engine?

The car cannot be locked without turning off the engine. Methods to prevent forgetting to turn off the engine when exiting the car: 1. Check the tachometer and display screen: Before exiting the car, check if the display screen has turned off and darkened, and if the tachometer reads zero. 2. Steering wheel rising: When setting the steering wheel position, avoid setting it at the highest position. This way, when parking and turning off the engine, the steering wheel will rise. 3. Anti-theft indicator red light: When locking the door and leaving the car, make it a habit to check if a monitoring red light under the car's rearview mirror is flashing. If it is not, it means the engine is still running. 4. Front yellow light must flash once when locking the door: Set this in advance under "Settings" — "Car Lock Settings" — select "Light flashes when car is locked or unlocked." When locking the door, observe if the front yellow light flashes once. If it does not flash, it indicates the engine is still on.
