Vehicle manufacturing date can be found on the vehicle identification plate. More information about the vehicle identification plate is as follows: 1. The vehicle identification plate is a label indicating the basic characteristics of the vehicle, mainly including the manufacturer, model, engine power, total mass, load capacity or passenger capacity, manufacturing number, manufacturing date, and manufacturer name. 2. The manufacturing time can be determined by consulting the user or checking the vehicle identification plate, which always displays the manufacturing time in the driver's compartment. 3. Every vehicle must be equipped with a vehicle identification plate, placed in an easily observable location at the front of the vehicle. For buses, the plate is placed above the front passenger door inside the vehicle.

Can You Turn on Hazard Lights While Driving in Heavy Rain?

Vehicle hazard lights should only be turned on in emergency situations. Permissible scenarios for using hazard lights: 1. Vehicle convoys authorized by relevant authorities. 2. Vehicles experiencing breakdowns on highways. 3. Extremely poor weather conditions with visibility less than 100 meters. 4. Vehicles with issues parked roadside awaiting towing—both the tow truck and the disabled vehicle should activate their hazard lights. Additional notes on hazard light usage: Therefore, during regular heavy rain conditions, if visibility hasn't dropped to that critical level, there's no need to use hazard lights. Activating them unnecessarily constitutes a traffic violation. While receiving penalties is secondary, the more crucial concern is the driver's safety.

What Causes an Automatic Transmission to Shake and Stall at Idle?

There are many reasons why an automatic transmission may shake and stall at idle. Issues with any component in the intake system, ignition system, or fuel system can cause this phenomenon. Intake System: If parts like the air filter box, intake pipe, crankcase ventilation valve tube, or crankcase air intake tube become detached or leak, the only solution is to replace the faulty components. Ignition System: Problems such as a damaged ignition coil, faulty electronic ignition module, or capacitor issues may manifest as the engine starting initially but stalling after a while, then restarting only to stall again. Fuel System: Issues with the fuel system, such as clogged fuel injectors due to debris, often stem from poor-quality fuel. In such cases, it is advisable to refuel at reputable gas stations.

What type of engine oil should be used for the three-cylinder Excelle?

The three-cylinder Excelle uses 5W30 engine oil. The main functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear of moving parts, remove sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (detergents) from the engine, neutralize acids produced by fuel and lubricant oxidation (detergents), improve the sealing of piston rings, and cool the engine by carrying away heat from moving parts. Taking the 2021 Buick Excelle Facelift 1.5L Automatic Entry-Level model as an example, the car has a length, width, and height of 4609mm, 1798mm, and 1464mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2640mm. The manufacturer of this car is SAIC-GM Buick, classified as a compact car with a naturally aspirated intake form.

What is the W gear in an automatic transmission?

Automatic transmission W stands for Winter (Snow) mode, which can be used for starting on slippery surfaces. The wheel torque is equivalent to that of second gear, helping to prevent slipping on wet or icy roads, but it is not recommended for high-speed driving. In this mode, the engine's torque is restrained and does not quickly reach its peak, reducing the likelihood of wheel spin when driving on snow and effectively preventing skidding. For automatic vehicles equipped with an ESP system, the Winter mode is not simply starting in second gear. When Winter mode is activated in an automatic transmission, the vehicle's power output is effectively controlled in real-time within a range suitable for snowy conditions. The ESP (Electronic Stability Program) system, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), and ECU (Engine Control Unit) work together based on wheel speed and steering wheel angle, using programmed control to optimize the vehicle's driving dynamics.

How to Perform a High-Speed Run with an Automatic Transmission?

Methods for performing a high-speed run with an automatic transmission: You need to place the gear in D mode, fully depress the accelerator for acceleration, and the tachometer will temporarily reach the red zone. After that, shift gears and repeat the process. However, the high-speed run should not last too long. Maintaining the RPM in the red zone for an extended period can increase wear and even cause overheating issues, potentially damaging the transmission. A high-speed run essentially allows a new car to test its maximum performance capabilities, but the RPM should not exceed two-thirds of the design limit. Performing a high-speed run can help clear oil passages, burn off carbon deposits, and improve future performance. The purpose of driving at a certain high speed is to break in components such as wheel axles and the main reducer, but the speed should be controlled between 100 km/h and 120 km/h. Avoid pushing the speed too high.

Will an Automatic Transmission Car Move Without Pressing the Accelerator?

Whether an automatic transmission car will move without pressing the accelerator depends on the gear position: 1. If the gear is in P (Park) or N (Neutral), the car will not move whether you press the accelerator or not; 2. If the gear is in any position other than P or N, the car will move even without pressing the accelerator. For an automatic car in D (Drive) gear without pressing the accelerator, it is equivalent to a manual transmission car in 1st gear without pressing the clutch—this is the starting gear, and the car moves very slowly. For manual transmission models, this function is achieved through the clutch. When starting the car, if the accelerator and clutch are properly coordinated, the car will slowly move forward, also known as "creeping." If the clutch is released too quickly, the car will not only fail to move but may also stall.
