BMW with transmission system malfunction cannot be driven. You should immediately pull over to the side of the road and request on-site rescue under safe conditions to avoid causing greater damage to the transmission. Below is relevant information about the transmission system: 1. Transmission system structure: The transmission system generally consists of a clutch, gearbox, universal transmission device, main reducer, differential, and half-shaft. 2. Function of the transmission system: The transmission system transmits the power generated by the engine to the driving wheels of the car, generating driving force to enable the vehicle to drive smoothly at a certain speed.

I have over a decade of driving experience, and when encountering a BMW drivetrain malfunction accompanied by car shaking, I strongly advise against continuing to drive. The drivetrain controls the power to the wheels, and if there's an issue and you keep driving, the shaking will worsen. At best, it could damage the transmission, costing tens of thousands in repairs, and at worst, you could suddenly lose power or lose control of the vehicle while driving, leading to a crash. I've personally seen cases where owners insisted on driving under such conditions, resulting in accidents that not only doubled the repair costs but also posed serious safety risks. Luxury cars like BMW have complex drivetrain systems, and shaking often stems from clutch slippage or electronic control unit failures. The safest choice is to tow the car to a professional shop for inspection. Regular maintenance habits can prevent such issues, such as checking transmission fluid levels and maintaining good driving practices. In short, safety comes first—don’t gamble with your life.

What are the vehicle restriction rules?

Vehicle restriction is based on odd-even license plate numbers, determined by the last digit. According to the restriction rules: vehicles with license plate numbers ending in 1 and 6 are restricted on Mondays, 2 and 7 on Tuesdays, 3 and 8 on Wednesdays, 4 and 9 on Thursdays, and 5 and 0 on Fridays. For Saturdays and Sundays that are adjusted to working days due to statutory holiday shifts, the restriction applies according to the corresponding adjusted workday. Exempt vehicles include: 1. Unit shuttle buses and school buses: public electric buses, interprovincial long-distance passenger vehicles and large buses, taxis (excluding rental vehicles), minibuses, postal service vehicles, vehicles holding tourist bus operation certificates issued by the municipal transportation management department, and unit shuttle buses and school buses approved by the municipal public security traffic management department. 2. Special vehicles: administrative law enforcement vehicles and dedicated tow trucks with unified body markings performing tasks. 3. Funeral vehicles: special operation vehicles for sanitation, landscaping, and road maintenance, and funeral vehicles from funeral parlors.

What Causes a Car to Shake Intermittently When the AC is On?

Intermittent shaking when the car's air conditioning is on may be caused by excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body. Below is relevant information about automotive air conditioning: 1. Introduction: The automotive air conditioning system, abbreviated as car AC, is designed to regulate and control the temperature, humidity, air cleanliness, and airflow inside the vehicle cabin to optimal levels. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers, reducing travel fatigue, and creates favorable working conditions for the driver, playing a crucial role in ensuring safe driving. Generally, it includes cooling, heating, and ventilation systems. This integrated system makes efficient use of the limited space inside the vehicle, featuring a simple structure and ease of operation, making it a popular modern automotive air conditioning system internationally. 2. AC Components: Modern air conditioning systems consist of a refrigeration system, heating system, ventilation and air purification devices, and a control system.

What Causes Car Air Conditioning to Frost Up and Not Cool?

Car air conditioning frosting up and not cooling is caused by insufficient refrigerant; excessively dirty condenser; or a dirty filter. The functions of the air conditioning filter include the following 3 points: 1. Provide fresh air: It prevents the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for the driver and safe driving; it supplies fresh air to the passenger compartment, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety; it effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. 2. Ensure safety and hygiene: It keeps the air in the passenger compartment clean and free from bacterial growth; it effectively separates solid impurities such as dust, core powder, and grinding particles from the air; it effectively intercepts pollen, ensuring that passengers do not experience allergic reactions that could affect driving safety. 3. Adsorb harmful substances: It adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, and odors from the air, with strong and durable moisture adsorption capabilities.

Is the Prado Not Afraid of Water Intrusion When Wading?

The Prado has a maximum wading depth of 700mm. Exceeding this depth can lead to water intrusion and subsequent malfunctions. Here are the specific reasons: 1. It can cause multiple malfunctions: Beyond 700mm, various components such as connectors, sensors, and electronic parts of the engine, transmission, and transfer case can come into contact with water. The interior is also prone to water intrusion, and the numerous wiring inside can easily corrode, leading to future malfunctions. 2. Prado's maximum wading depth: The greater the maximum wading depth, the stronger the vehicle's wading capability. The height of the air intake determines the wading depth. The engine's air intake is usually located slightly above the center of the side of the grille. If the air intake is below the water level during wading, water can be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Unlike air, water cannot be compressed, which can cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshaft, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth must never exceed the height of the engine's air intake. It is advisable to first ascertain the water depth before deciding whether to proceed.

What type of engine oil is used for the Inspire?

The Honda Inspire 1.5T and 2.0L models both use 5w40 (5L) fully synthetic engine oil, with a replacement interval of 10,000 kilometers. You can choose from international brands such as Mobil, Shell, and Castrol, or domestic brands like Great Wall, Tongyi, and Kunlun. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother. The second number represents the kinematic viscosity at 100°C. A higher number indicates better viscosity retention at high temperatures, meaning better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. When selecting engine oil, keep the following in mind: Choose engine oil based on the engine's requirements. There's no need to use overly advanced oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should you use lower-grade oil in engines with higher requirements. Multi-grade oil is recommended. Due to its cost-effectiveness, long lifespan, and high efficiency, multi-grade oil provides better protection for the engine. Given its characteristics, it may darken prematurely and exhibit lower oil pressure compared to conventional oils, both of which are normal.
