Why doesn't the manufacturer of the Sienna hybrid provide an OTA update for a straight-line summon feature? The car is so wide that sometimes it's hard to get out after parking.

Guys, I've got a problem! Sometimes when I go through the underground parking lot, I hear a "beep beep beep" sound. I check it out and find it's my car making the noise, and the yellow light flashes rapidly. The sound stops after about 10 seconds, but the yellow light keeps flashing for several minutes. It's happened more than once! Can anyone tell me what's going on? Can I turn it off? It's pretty annoying for others too.

You have a 2016 model with a CVT transmission, but you're not sure which version it is. You can usually find this information in a few places: 1. **Owner's Manual**: The manual that came with the car often lists the specific version or trim level. 2. **VIN Number**: Locate the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on your car and use it to check online databases or contact the manufacturer for detailed information about your car. 3. **Door Jamb Sticker**: There is often a sticker in the driver's side door jamb that includes details about the vehicle, sometimes including the model version. 4. **Service Records**: Check any service or maintenance records you have for your vehicle, as they might list the specific model version. 5. **Dealership**: Contact a dealership with your VIN number, and they can usually provide detailed information about your car.

To determine whether your Jeep Compass is equipped with an AT (Automatic Transmission) or CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), you can check the following: 1. **Owner's Manual**: Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual, which should specify the type of transmission. 2. **Vehicle Documentation**: Check any official documents related to the vehicle, such as the purchase agreement or service records, which might indicate the transmission type. 3. **Under the Hood**: Look at the transmission system under the hood. Sometimes the transmission type is labeled on the transmission unit itself. 4. **Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)**: Use the VIN to decode the specifications of your vehicle. Websites or services that provide detailed vehicle information based on VIN can help you identify the transmission type. 5. **Contact Dealership**: Reach out to a Jeep dealership with your VIN. They should be able to provide you with detailed information about your vehicle's transmission type. If there is conflicting information from different sources, the dealership is likely your most reliable source.

Does no one really care about the car's width? Including the side mirrors, it's 2.4 meters, and when folded, it's still 2.2 meters. This width feels more intimidating than the 5.68-meter length to me. When parking outside, with a length of 5.68 meters, at worst, you can let it stick out by 30 or 40 centimeters, and passing drivers can just steer a bit to avoid it. But a width of 2.4 meters really makes parking a big issue. Perpendicular parking spaces are the most common, and a standard parking space, including the boundary lines, is 2.4 meters, which basically means it takes up the entire space. If there's a car on the right side, parking this car to the left of it makes it almost impossible for the other person to get in. If you park on the right side of another car, it might be slightly better; at most, the other person might have to move the car out a bit to let passengers get in from the passenger side. Of course, if you fold the mirrors before parking, you can give the neighboring car an extra 20 centimeters of space, but most people probably find that hard to manage.

If the 95 comes out with a five-seat version and updates its interior, sales would definitely increase. The seven-seater really can't compete with other manufacturers.

Has anyone managed to hack the infotainment system of the 2019 Trumpchi GA6 to download third-party apps, or how to upgrade the built-in AutoNavi map? The current version is really hard to use, and the manufacturer probably won't push any updates.

When the suspension is raised to its highest level, after parking and turning off the engine, the vehicle sometimes lowers to a normal height. I haven't activated the easy entry/exit feature, and it doesn't lower immediately after turning off the engine. Sometimes it doesn't lower at all, while other times it lowers on its own.

Hey car enthusiasts, have you noticed this? When you're reversing into a parking spot, the car looks straight, but on the 360 camera, it appears skewed. Before, when I parked using the 360 camera, the image showed the car was straight, but once I got out, the front was actually tilted to the right. And when it seemed straight from the outside, the image showed it was slanted.

2021 Outlander Vehicle Odor Issue. Background: Recently, the car was parked in an underground garage for a month, and the garage was somewhat damp. Situation: An unpleasant odor, like a musty and rotten smell, has started to accumulate inside the car. Self-assessment: I've checked the interior but couldn't find the source of the smell. I also replaced the air conditioning filter, and the air blowing out doesn't have any odor. However, as soon as the car is parked for half a day and I get back in, there is a strong smell in the cabin. The car has never been submerged in water or flooded before. Question: Has anyone experienced a similar issue and can provide some guidance on how to deal with this?

I've been driving a Touran for 7 years, and it's time for a change. I'm looking for recommendations based on my needs. Here's what I'm looking for: I commute 25km one way to work, and there's no fixed parking spot in my community. The city is crowded, which tests my driving skills, so the car can't be too big. I'd like a space for a nap at noon, so electric or plug-in hybrids are preferred. We are a family of three, and we often take the kid out on weekends, so the car's stability and smooth driving are important as my family gets car sick easily. I often take care of the kid alone, and since the kid is not very strong, an electric sliding door would be great. My kid likes camping in the car, so it needs to have ample space. Occasionally, I need to move things between houses, so flexible space is a plus. Since my wife doesn't drive, we can only have one car. Right now, it seems like the GAC E8 is the only option 🤣
