BMW autoh can be kept on all the time. autoh is the automatic parking, which is a function of automatic braking. The following is the relevant introduction of autoh: Autoh function: The full name of autoh is AUTO-HOLD, which means when the car is braked to a stop, if the AUTO-HOLD function is enabled, the car can prevent rolling forward or backward. Autoh position: AutoHold is a derivative function of the automatic manual transmission and the ESP electronic control system. The button is generally designed on the console next to the gear lever. After this function is turned on, it makes parking and starting the car very convenient, simple and safe. Parking means braking, and starting the car directly by stepping on the accelerator.

After driving a BMW for so many years, I think the Auto mode of the automatic air conditioning can be kept on all the time. It's super convenient, automatically adjusting the airflow and temperature to keep the car comfortable whether it's summer or winter. To be honest, though, it does increase fuel consumption a bit, especially in traffic jams when the compressor keeps running and burns more fuel, but the engine is designed to be quite durable, so it doesn't harm the car. I usually make sure not to leave it on for too long while idling, like turning off the engine when parked and waiting, to avoid draining the battery too much. I also recommend regularly changing the air conditioning filter to reduce odors and bacteria—health comes first. On long trips, the Auto mode is really convenient, allowing you to enjoy the drive with less hassle.

How to Solve the Squeaking Issue with Highlander's Panoramic Sunroof

Highlander's panoramic sunroof squeaking is caused by friction between the sunroof glass seal and the roof metal panel. Spraying some dashboard wax on the external seal or cleaning the seal thoroughly and applying lubricant can resolve the squeaking issue. The functions of a car sunroof include the following: 1. Rapid cooling. Opening the windows and sunroof while driving allows air convection for quick cooling. 2. Eliminating fog. During seasons with significant temperature differences, if the side windows are closed while driving, the front windshield can easily fog up. Opening the sunroof for a few seconds can quickly clear the fog. 3. Rapid air exchange. Opening the sunroof while driving can quickly increase air circulation inside the car, improving ventilation and air exchange in the cabin.

Should I turn on AC and recirculation mode when using cold air in car air conditioning?

When initially turning on the air conditioning, using recirculation mode can cool the car interior faster. However, you should switch back to fresh air mode after a while because prolonged use of recirculation mode may cause window frosting. Below is relevant information: 1. Principle of air conditioning refrigeration: The compressor inhales and compresses low-pressure refrigerant vapor in the refrigeration system into high-pressure vapor, which is then discharged to the condenser. Indoor air continuously circulates to lower the temperature. 2. Principle of air conditioning heating: Based on heat source types, car heating systems are mainly divided into two types: one uses engine coolant as the heat source, while the other uses fuel as the heat source. When the engine coolant temperature is high, the coolant flows through the heat exchanger in the heating system, exchanging heat with air delivered by the blower. The heated air is then sent into the car through various vents by the blower.

How many kilometers does a car spark plug need to be replaced?

Car spark plugs need to be replaced every 20,000 kilometers. The function of the spark plug is to introduce the pulsed high voltage generated by the ignition coil into the combustion chamber, using the electric spark generated by the electrodes to ignite the air-fuel mixture, completing the combustion process. The gap between the spark plug electrodes greatly affects the performance of the spark plug. If the gap is too small, the spark will be weak, making it prone to carbon buildup and leakage. If the gap is too large, the required breakdown voltage increases, making the engine harder to start and more likely to misfire at high speeds. Spark plugs are commonly known as sparking plugs, and the main types include standard spark plugs, extended insulator spark plugs, electrode spark plugs, seat spark plugs, pole spark plugs, and surface gap spark plugs.
