Jump-starting a car is not allowed at gas stations. Reasons: Gas stations must control the occurrence of electrostatic discharge from design, construction to acceptance to avoid ignition and explosion caused by static electricity. Efforts should be made to eliminate the generation of electrostatic charges. Conduct or neutralize the generated charges, and never allow them to accumulate into a high electric field, avoiding the formation of electrostatic concentration and discharge gaps. Control the concentration of explosive gas mixtures to prevent the simultaneous presence of discharge and gas mixtures at suitable concentrations. Regulations: The selection, installation, and use of electrical equipment in gas stations must comply with relevant electrical safety regulations. Inspect electrical equipment, and replace all non-explosion-proof equipment with explosion-proof ones. The lighting circuits of street lamps and light boxes should be replaced with underground cables.

What is the trunk capacity of the BMW 5 Series?

The trunk capacity of the BMW 5 Series is 520L. Working principle of the BMW 5 Series trunk: The electric struts on both sides of the trunk are the key components for opening and closing the tailgate. Both the opening and closing operations are performed by them. The struts have built-in motors and Hall sensors. After receiving the command to open or close, the struts automatically extend or retract to drive the tailgate movement. The sensors also feature smart detection - if an obstacle is encountered during the opening/closing process, the door will move in the opposite direction to prevent pinching. In emergencies, the tailgate operation can be stopped at any time via the car key or the tailgate button on the vehicle. Opening the trunk: Inside the car, there is a control switch button at the bottom of the driver's door window switch. Pulling it upward for more than 3 seconds will automatically open the trunk. Outside the car, simply press the trunk opening button on the car key or the unlock button on the tailgate to open it. Some models feature a foot-sweeping sensor under the trunk for hands-free opening, which is convenient for users carrying heavy items with one hand, providing multiple operation modes.

Is Shell Helix X7 Plus Engine Oil Fully Synthetic?

It is a semi-synthetic engine oil Introduction to Semi-Synthetic Engine Oil: Semi-synthetic oil is a type of automotive engine oil. It is formulated using semi-synthetic base oils, specifically Group III base oils internationally. This lubricant is derived from mineral oil refined through hydrocracking technology. It consists of a 4:6 ratio blend of mineral oil and fully synthetic oil. The purity of semi-synthetic oil is very close to that of fully synthetic oil, but its cost is slightly higher than mineral oil. It serves as an ideal transitional product from mineral oil to synthetic oil. Introduction to Engine Oil: The function of engine oil (lubricant) is to lubricate and clean the engine. It can be categorized into three types: mineral oil, synthetic oil, and semi-synthetic oil. Both fully synthetic and semi-synthetic oils are composed of base oils and additives. Generally, fully synthetic oil contains 100% non-conventional, high-performance fluids. Semi-synthetic oil (also known as 'blended oil') contains a smaller percentage of these high-performance fluids and includes conventional mineral oil.

What is the M1 gear?

M1 indicates that the transmission is in the first gear of manual mode. Below are the classifications of transmissions: 1. AMT: Based on the traditional manual transmission, only the manual operation part is changed, and automatic shifting is achieved through an electronically controlled automatic operating system. AMT has a simple structure, low cost, and good fuel economy, but its comfort is poor, and the automation control is difficult. 2. CVT: A true continuously variable transmission with fewer parts and small size, featuring high efficiency and low fuel consumption. It can also be used as a power coupling and transmission matched with hybrid vehicles. However, it has disadvantages such as complex manufacturing, high investment, easy damage to the transmission belt, and short lifespan. 3. DCT: Adopts a structure with two clutches. DCT inherits the advantages of manual transmissions, such as good fuel economy and high quality, and there is no power interruption during gear shifting, offering good shifting comfort.
