Paddle shifters on the BMW X1 are optional. Paddle shifters are a quick-shifting device that can significantly enhance driving operability. Taking the 2021 BMW X1 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4565mm, width 1821mm, height 1620mm, with a wheelbase of 2780mm and a fuel tank capacity of 61 liters.

Should the foot be on the accelerator or brake when driving?

When starting the car, the placement of the right foot depends on the vehicle model and situation. For example, on a steep downhill slope, neither manual nor automatic cars require pressing the accelerator; simply releasing the clutch and brake will start the car. Specific details are as follows: 1. Manual transmission: The standard procedure for starting a manual car involves pressing the clutch with the left foot and the accelerator with the right foot, shifting into gear, releasing the handbrake, then applying gas with the right foot while gradually releasing the clutch with the left foot to complete the starting phase. 2. Automatic transmission: The standard procedure for starting an automatic car involves pressing the brake pedal with the right foot, shifting into drive (automatic cars usually don't use the handbrake, but if equipped with a parking brake, it should be released), then releasing the brake pedal to allow the car to move forward and complete the starting phase.

How to Observe the Distance of the Rear Vehicle in the Rearview Mirror?

If judging the distance from the left rearview mirror, first use the center of the left rearview mirror as a reference line. When the rear vehicle is on the left side of the reference line and the entire vehicle is visible, the distance between the two vehicles can be estimated to be ten meters. When the vehicle is on the left side of the reference line, and there is approximately one car's width between the vehicle in the rearview mirror and the left edge of the mirror, the distance is about 15 meters.

How to Use the Auto Start-Stop (AOFF) Function in Cars?

When the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, the driver should press the brake pedal, come to a complete stop, and shift to neutral. The Start/Stop system automatically checks: the engine is idling and not in gear; the wheel speed sensor shows zero; the vehicle has sufficient battery power. Once these three conditions are met, the engine will automatically stop. When the traffic light turns green, the driver can press the clutch pedal to immediately activate the AOFF function.

How to Detect Car Battery Leakage?

First, prepare a multimeter and select the correct range. Choose the DC current range, typically 10A for most cars. Connect the adjusted red probe of the multimeter to the car's grounding wire and the black probe to the negative terminal of the battery. After completing the above steps, wait for 30 seconds and read the multimeter's value. A dark current below 50mA is considered normal.

What are the new regulations for used car transactions in 2021?

Here is an introduction to the new regulations for used car transactions in 2021: 1. Required materials for transfer: For the transfer of a used car transaction, you need to prepare the vehicle license, vehicle registration certificate, a set of license plates (for vehicles undergoing plate return, provide the plate return and renewal certificate), import vehicle inspection report (required for imported vehicles), vehicle purchase tax certificate, ID cards of both the buyer and seller, household registration booklet, etc. For non-local residents, a temporary residence permit is also required, and the buyer's temporary residence permit must be valid for at least one year. 2. Transfer considerations: The used vehicle market implements a proxy system for vehicle transfers, where the transfer window does not directly handle transactions for consumers. If a transfer is needed, the vehicle must be brought to the market, and a used vehicle trading company will act as the proxy to complete the transfer process: evaluation, vehicle inspection, and ticket issuance. Additionally, during the transfer, both parties must sign the "Used Vehicle Sales Contract" supervised by the industrial and commercial department. The contract is made in triplicate, with one copy for each party and one retained by the industrial and commercial department. The vehicle transfer or relocation procedures can only be processed after the contract is filed with the industrial and commercial department. Once the evaluation report is ready, the transfer process can begin. The completed transfer certificate should be kept by the buyer, but it is recommended to retain a copy. 3. New tax policies: According to Announcement No. 17 of 2020 by the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration, from May 1, 2020, to December 31, 2023, taxpayers engaged in the used car trade who sell their purchased used cars will have the VAT rate reduced from 3% to 2% under the simplified method, and further reduced to 0.5%. There is indeed a new policy reducing the VAT rate to 0.5% for used car sales, but it has specific applicability. The policy stipulates that only taxpayers engaged in the used car trade who sell their purchased used cars can enjoy the simplified method with a reduced VAT rate of 0.5%. If a company sells its own used vehicles, it does not fall under the scope of Announcement No. 17 of 2020 and cannot apply the reduced 0.5% VAT rate policy.
