When smoking in a BMW GT630, the smoke can be expelled by activating the external air circulation. Penalties and points deduction for smoking while driving: According to regulations, driving a motor vehicle must not involve behaviors that hinder safe driving, such as answering or making handheld phone calls, smoking, or watching videos, otherwise a fine will be imposed and 2 points will be deducted. Hazards of smoking while driving: Smoking while driving can distract attention and reduce driving safety; smoking in an enclosed space can easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning; it is detrimental to the air quality inside the car, as air filters can easily produce odors and breed bacteria. For the air conditioning filter, it can develop a smoke smell, causing the air blown out from the vents to carry the smoke odor, which is harmful to the health of the car occupants.

I used to drive a BMW 630GT, and the air conditioning system in it was quite powerful. If you opened the window or switched to the external circulation mode while smoking, the smoke would dissipate in about one or two minutes, making the air circulation feel very fast. However, the problem is that the smell of smoke tends to stick to the seats and interior, especially on leather surfaces, which are harder to clean. Over time, the car ends up smelling bad. I tried it a few times myself and eventually stopped smoking in the car altogether because cleaning it was too troublesome and expensive to get professionally cleaned. If you absolutely must smoke, it's best to do so with the windows open and be mindful not to affect other passengers, as health is important. BMW's car design is excellent, but smoking is better done outdoors—protecting both the car and yourself.

As a young person, I often smoke in the car, especially in high-end vehicles like BMW. After smoking, I turn on the air conditioning, switch to the external circulation mode, and then slightly open the windows. The smoke can usually dissipate fairly quickly this way. However, the smell tends to linger a bit, particularly in the crevices of the seats, which can be quite annoying. I recommend using a car air freshener to somewhat alleviate the issue. Additionally, weather conditions play a significant role—windy days help disperse the smoke faster, while rainy days make it more troublesome. In summary, although it's not a major issue, frequent smoking inside the car can lead to yellowing of the interior, making maintenance a hassle. Therefore, I now try to avoid smoking in the car as much as possible to save trouble.

Can CBS linked brakes cause wheel lock-up?

CBS linked brakes can cause wheel lock-up as CBS does not have anti-lock functionality. The following is an introduction to CBS: 1. Function: The core function of CBS brakes is to provide appropriate and effective braking force on both wheels when operating either the front brake or the rear brake separately. 2. Features: The CBS braking system has a simple structure and offers significant price advantages. 3. Lock-up probability: CBS only reduces the probability of rear wheel lock-up caused by excessive braking force, but there is still a possibility of front wheel lock-up.

Can I add a different brand of antifreeze when it's low?

When the antifreeze is low, you cannot add antifreeze from a different brand. You must use the same brand of antifreeze. Different brands of antifreeze may have different production formulas, and if mixed, various additives may undergo chemical reactions, causing the additives to become ineffective. The role of antifreeze: Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. Antifreeze has excellent properties such as preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion throughout the year. Composition of antifreeze: The main components of antifreeze are: 50% pure water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances. Types of antifreeze: Antifreeze is generally divided into three types: ethanol-water type, glycerol-water type, and ethylene glycol-water type. How to choose antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are the freezing point and boiling point. The market offers antifreeze with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose an antifreeze with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. How to replace antifreeze: Before completely replacing the antifreeze, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a focus on the five-way water pipe. The five-way pipe is named for its five connections to various parts. Antifreeze flows through the five-way pipe and is distributed to different parts of the car to function. If there is any leakage of antifreeze in this part, replace the water pipe or re-secure the connection as needed. Drain the old antifreeze, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the antifreeze reservoir and continue to inject water so that it flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Then, start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water flowing out of the reservoir may have a faint pink color. Continue adding clean water until the water coming out is clear. Remember to remove the heater hose and drain the heater water completely. After draining for about an hour, add the new antifreeze through the radiator hose, which allows the antifreeze to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another bottle of antifreeze to the antifreeze reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine for about 10 minutes. At this point, the coolant level will drop slightly as some air is expelled from the cooling system. Add more antifreeze until it reaches the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.

Can I Add Antifreeze from Another Brand If It's Low?

If the antifreeze level is low, you should not add antifreeze from another brand. It is necessary to use the same brand of antifreeze. Different brands of antifreeze may have varying production formulations, and mixing them can lead to chemical reactions between multiple additives, potentially rendering the additives ineffective. Functions of Antifreeze: Antifreeze is a coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and resisting scale and corrosion throughout the year. Composition of Antifreeze: The main components of antifreeze are: 50% purified water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances.

Then, start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water draining from the reservoir will have a faint pink color. Continue adding clean water until the drained water is clear. Remember to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater. After draining for about an hour, add the new antifreeze through the radiator hose to allow it to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another container of antifreeze to the antifreeze reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. During this time, the coolant level will drop as air is expelled from the system. Add more antifreeze until the level reaches the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.

What does UDS mean during CBS reset?

UDS protocol is a unified diagnostic service, serving as a standard reference protocol for diagnostic services. For example, what command should be sent to the ECU to read fault codes, and what command to read data streams. It is a set of diagnostic protocols used to analyze current automotive issues, and this protocol is widely used in automotive electronics today. Relevant introductions are as follows: 1. Diagnostic Services: OBD is an industry standard formed based on the concept of monitoring real-time vehicle emissions post-sale, while UDS is a unified specification for diagnostic services. UDS provides a basic framework for diagnostic services, allowing automakers and component suppliers to choose to implement parts of it or define some privatized diagnostic services based on actual needs. 2. Enhanced Diagnostics: Diagnostics based on the UDS protocol are often referred to as enhanced diagnostics. UDS is not a regulatory requirement and lacks a unified implementation standard. Its advantage lies in facilitating the development of production line testing equipment while greatly aiding post-sale maintenance and the realization of telematics functions.

Do You Need to Signal When Starting on a Slope?

The left turn signal should be used. The turn signal is not for your own indication, but to inform other vehicles or pedestrians. Stopping at a designated point on an uphill road and starting on a slope are assessment points in the driver's test, which include two test items: one is stopping at a designated point on an uphill road, and the other is starting and driving on a slope. It is one of the five mandatory test items. Scoring criteria: 1. After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line, and the deviation exceeds 50 centimeters, it is a failure; 2. After the vehicle stops, if the front bumper of the car or the front axle of the motorcycle is not aligned with the pole line, but the deviation does not exceed 50 centimeters, 10 points are deducted; 3. After the vehicle stops, if the distance between the vehicle body and the road edge line is more than 30 centimeters but less than 50 centimeters, 10 points are deducted; 4. After the vehicle stops, if the distance between the vehicle body and the road edge line exceeds 50 centimeters, it is a failure; 4. Stalling during the process results in a 10-point deduction; 5. Once in gear during startup, failing to leave the original spot within 30 seconds is a failure.
