BMW can still be driven if the DSC fails. The failure of BMW DSC means the failure of the vehicle stability system, which can be detected and repaired at a service station using a computer. DSC stands for Dynamic Stability Control, which is an extension of the traction control system. It ensures the best traction when the car is turning to maintain driving stability. Here is some extended information about DSC: 1. The functions of DSC are as follows: (1) When emergency braking, ABS prevents the wheels from locking; when the wheels slip, TCS controls the engine output and wheel braking to prevent wheel slip. (2) The vehicle stability control system uses computer control to manage engine output and braking of any wheel (with varying braking force) when the vehicle understeers and slides outward, or oversteers and crosses the centerline of the road or even spins in place during quick turns, evasive maneuvers, or avoiding suddenly appearing cars or animals. 2. The causes of DSC failure are as follows: (1) Wheel speed sensor failure. (2) Wheel speed sensor signal disc failure. (3) Steering angle sensor failure. (4) Steering gear failure, etc.

What are the main components of brake fluid?

There are three types of brake fluid: 1. Castor oil-alcohol type, which is made by blending 45% to 55% refined castor oil with 55% to 45% low-carbon alcohol (ethanol or butanol). 2. Synthetic type, which is made by blending ethers, alcohols, esters, etc. with additives such as lubricants, antioxidants, rust inhibitors, and rubber swelling inhibitors. 3. Mineral oil type, which is made by blending refined light diesel oil fractions with thickeners and other additives. The method for replacing brake fluid: 1. Turn off the vehicle and open the engine compartment cover. Use a syringe to extract the fluid from the reservoir until it reaches the bottom. 2. Fill the reservoir with new brake fluid. 3. Use a jack to lift the vehicle, starting with the rear wheels, and remove the tires. 4. Locate the brake caliper's bleed screw and remove the rubber dust cap. 5. Use a wrench to loosen the bleed screw, attach a rubber tube to it, and connect the other end to a drain bottle. 6. Go inside the vehicle and start pumping the brakes. If the fluid coming out of the rubber tube is the lighter new fluid, the fluid change for that wheel is complete. Stop pumping the brakes, reinstall the tire, and repeat the process for the remaining three wheels. 7. After all four wheels have been bled, check the fluid level in the engine compartment reservoir. If it has reached the lower limit, add new brake fluid as needed.

What are the hidden functions of the Baojun 510?

Baojun 510's key has hidden functions of a keyless entry system. Below is the relevant introduction to the hidden functions: 1. When the car owner enters the sensing range of the key system, the central lock control system starts working and emits a wireless query signal. After the smart key card responds correctly, the car lock will automatically open. 2. One car corresponds to one key, and the car can only be unlocked when the key's signal matches the signal emitted by the transmitter. Once inside the car, with the key within the sensing range, the engine can be started using the one-button start function. The sensing distance for keyless entry and start should be within one meter; beyond one meter, it will not work.

What are the reasons for an automatic transmission not moving when engaged?

Automatic transmission not moving when engaged is caused by leakage in the automatic transmission oil pan, looseness in the linkage or cable between the manual valve operating handle and the rocker arm, or blockage in the oil pump inlet filter screen. Leakage in the automatic transmission oil pan: If only a small amount of hydraulic oil flows out from the pressure measuring hole of the main oil circuit, and the oil pressure is very low or almost nonexistent, it indicates leakage in the automatic transmission oil pan, causing the vehicle not to move. Open the oil pan and check if the oil pump inlet filter screen is blocked. If there is no blockage, it means the oil pump is damaged or there is severe leakage in the main oil circuit, and the automatic transmission should be disassembled. Looseness in the linkage or cable between the manual valve operating handle and the rocker arm: If the linkage or cable between the manual valve operating handle and the rocker arm is loose, the manual valve remains in the neutral or parking position. If it is loose, reassemble it and readjust the position of the operating lever. Blockage in the oil pump inlet filter screen: If there is some oil pressure in the main oil circuit when starting the cold engine, but the oil pressure drops significantly after the engine warms up, it indicates excessive wear in the oil pump, and the oil pump should be replaced.

What are the differences between the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class facelift and non-facelift models?

Here are the differences between the Mercedes-Benz E-Class facelift and non-facelift models: 1. Configuration: The facelifted Mercedes-Benz E-Class has undergone certain changes in configuration. The new model is equipped with a 360-degree panoramic camera, a sensor-activated trunk, a keyless entry system, and adjustable rear seats—features that are not available in the non-facelifted models. 2. Power: The facelifted long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz E-Class continues to use the current M264 series 1.5T and 2.0T (high/low power) engines, paired with a 9AT transmission. Before the facelift, it used a turbocharged V6 engine.

Can Hybrid Vehicles in Beijing Obtain New Energy License Plates?

Currently, Beijing does not allow hybrid vehicles to obtain new energy license plates. Below is relevant information about hybrid vehicles: 1. Plug-in Hybrid: The battery capacity of regular hybrid vehicles is very small, only supplying/recovering energy during start/stop and acceleration/deceleration. They cannot be charged externally and cannot travel long distances in pure electric mode. Plug-in hybrid vehicles have relatively larger batteries, can be charged externally, and can operate in pure electric mode. Once the battery is depleted, they switch to hybrid mode (mainly powered by the internal combustion engine) and recharge the battery as needed. 2. Oil-Electric Hybrid: Oil-electric hybrid vehicles offer high fuel efficiency and excellent driving performance. The engine of an oil-electric hybrid vehicle uses fuel, and with the assistance of an electric motor during startup and acceleration, fuel consumption can be reduced. Simply put, compared to vehicles of the same size, they have lower fuel costs.

During the opening process, pulling this switch again will immediately and smoothly stop the trunk at its current position. 2. Open the trunk using the external switch: When the vehicle is unlocked, press the external trunk switch to open it. When the vehicle is locked, carry the valid smart key and press the external trunk switch to open it. During the trunk's movement, pressing the external switch will stop its current action.
