BMW's first maintenance is at 10,000 kilometers or 1 year, which includes the replacement of engine oil, air filter, air conditioning filter, fuel filter, etc. Here are the specific details about BMW: 1. BMW's car series include 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (discontinued), i, M, X, and Z series. 2. The 1 Series is a compact car, the 3 Series is a mid-size car, the 4 Series is a mid-size coupe (including convertibles), the 5 Series is a mid-to-large-size car, the 6 Series is a mid-to-large-size coupe (including convertibles), and the 7 Series is a luxury D-segment car. 3.

I have been driving a BMW for more than three years. The first maintenance is usually done around 12,000 kilometers, which is the standard suggestion given by the dealership when I bought the new car. I remember when I first reached 12,000 kilometers, I immediately booked an appointment at the 4S store for maintenance. That day, the technician helped me change the engine oil and oil filter, and also checked the brake pads and tire wear. He reminded me that new cars have metal debris during the break-in period, and if not removed in time, it could affect the engine's lifespan. Now, I maintain my car regularly, about every 12,000 kilometers. Although some people think it's okay to do it earlier or later, I insist on doing it on time. This way, the car has fewer problems and runs smoothly. Overall, BMWs are quite precise, and delaying the first maintenance carries significant risks.

Why Do People Get Carsick?

When riding in a car, the passenger's mind is in a relatively relaxed state. The balance system in your inner ear senses movement, but your eyes see a stationary view, especially when using a mobile phone in the car. The mismatch between visual signals and balance perception signals causes intense conflict in the brain, leading to a state where the brain processes information like a "runaway program," entering a self-correcting loop that results in symptoms such as dizziness and nausea. Some cars, especially high-end models with leather interiors and excellent window sealing, emit odors from leather or industrial adhesives. These unpleasant smells can make the already self-correcting brain even more uncomfortable upon receiving olfactory signals, intensifying the feeling of carsickness. Carsickness occurs when passengers experience nausea, vomiting, palpitations, and other clinical symptoms due to the vestibular system's inability to adapt to the continuous motion of the vehicle, making it a very uncomfortable experience.

What to Do If Traffic Violation Records Appear on Your Driver's License for No Reason?

There are three steps to deal with traffic violation records that appear on your driver's license for no reason: First, verify the vehicle model and license plate number. If they match, handle the violation; if not, check the location where the violation occurred. Second, call the traffic police department at the violation location to appeal, providing your ID number and license plate number. Third, recheck the violation records after a few days to confirm if the violation information has been cleared. Traffic violation records on your driver's license, especially those involving points deduction, will directly affect the "license renewal upon expiration." If you accumulate or receive a single 12-point deduction in any year during the validity period, not only will your license be temporarily suspended, but you will also need to undergo full-point education, and the validity period upon renewal cannot be extended.

Where is the interior trunk button located on the Haval H6?

The Haval H6 has a one-touch lift switch for the trunk on the driver's seat. Press it lightly to open. The Haval H6 can also open the trunk via the remote key. Hold it for more than 3 seconds to unlock the trunk, and all car doors will also unlock. After closing the trunk, the doors will automatically lock. Additionally, there is a small groove between the brand logo and the emblem on the tailgate. Insert your hand and pull outward to open the trunk. In terms of trunk space, the interior of the Haval H6 is relatively flat. The mesh pocket on the right side can be used to store small items that are prone to rolling. When the second-row seats are folded down, there is a slight bulge in the rear, which is related to the thicker sponge padding inside the seat cushions and backrests.

Can Dry Dual-Clutch Cars Drive in Rainy Weather?

Vehicles equipped with dry dual-clutch transmissions can operate normally in rainy weather, but they should avoid road sections where the water depth exceeds the wheel height. The structure of a dual-clutch transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission. The dual-clutch transmission simply adds an extra set of clutches and an additional gear-shifting control mechanism compared to a manual transmission. One set of clutches in the dual-clutch transmission controls the even-numbered gears, while the other set controls the odd-numbered gears. Maintenance is crucial for dry dual-clutch transmissions during use. Any transmission system involves gears or chains, and gear operation relies on lubricating oil. The transmission gears inside a dry dual-clutch transmission also require lubrication oil for smooth operation. Additionally, regular replacement of gear oil and hydraulic oil for the solenoid valve group is necessary.

Can I rent a car without bringing my driver's license?

Renting a car without bringing your driver's license is not allowed. You need to provide your personal driver's license so that the car rental company can hand over the car to you. Without this procedure, you cannot rent a car. When renting a car, a certain deposit is usually required, and the amount of the deposit depends on the car model. During the rental period, the main driver must hold the original driver's license that meets the driving qualifications and the corresponding auxiliary translation documents, and the original driver's license must be within the valid period. If the driver does not carry a motor vehicle driver's license that matches the type of vehicle being driven, it is considered as driving without a license, and you cannot rent a car from the rental company either. Even if you can rent a car, if you are stopped by traffic police while driving on the road and cannot present an electronic driver's license (some places require a paper driver's license), the vehicle will be temporarily detained, and you will be warned or penalized after providing the driver's license. Depending on the circumstances, you may also be detained for up to 15 days.
