The BMW 3 Series is equipped with heated mirrors. When the temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the vehicle reaches 6 degrees, the BMW will automatically activate the heating function. Heated mirror symbol: The symbol features three curved upward arrows paired with a rectangular shape. While the location of the heated mirror switch may vary across different models, the symbol design remains largely similar. Heated mirror switch: There are two common placements for the switch: one is integrated into the electric mirror adjustment combination switch, and the other is located on the air conditioning control panel. Both serve the same purpose. After pressing the heated mirror button, the heating elements behind the mirror glass will rapidly warm up to a set temperature (typically between 35 to 60 degrees Celsius) within minutes. Steam may become visible from both side mirrors as the water droplets on the mirror surface evaporate and the frost gradually disappears, achieving effective defogging and defrosting.

What are the characteristics of independent suspension?

The characteristics of independent suspension in automobiles are as follows: 1. Firstly, it can reduce unsprung weight, providing stronger directional stability for the wheels, as well as better ride comfort and handling stability. 2. Secondly, since the spring in this system only needs to support the vehicle body, softer springs can be used. Here is an introduction to independent suspension: 1. Independent suspension refers to a setup where each wheel has its own separate suspension system mounted on the vehicle body or axle. The axle is of a split type, with the middle section fixed to the frame or body. 2. With this suspension type, impacts on one wheel do not affect the other, as the suspension system is robust, offering strong buffering and shock absorption capabilities, resulting in a more comfortable ride. 3. Since there is no axle connecting the left and right wheels, the installation positions of the cabin and engine can be lowered, reducing the vehicle's center of gravity and freeing up more space for the cabin and trunk.

What to Do If the ETC Falls Off?

ETC needs to be reinstalled and reactivated for use after falling off. The installation process for the ETC device is as follows: Upon receiving the device, first check if the ETC card and electronic tag (OBU) are damaged. Press the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU, and the red light will briefly illuminate. The OLED screen will display "Tag Invalid" or "Please Insert Card," indicating the device is functioning properly. Clean the front windshield to ensure the surface is smooth, clean, and dry. Then peel off the adhesive backing of the OBU and attach it to the installation position. Press firmly for 2-3 minutes to remove any air bubbles. Insert the ETC card with the front facing the driver and the back facing the windshield, ensuring the chip is inserted into the OBU device. Method to activate the ETC device: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth On." If "Tag Invalid" appears when inserting and removing twice without attaching the electronic tag, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, press the button on top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth directly. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth and open the corresponding mobile app (usually a download QR code is provided on the electronic tag), then navigate to the device activation interface. Click "Connect Device" and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. Once connected, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation.

Which district in Tianjin does the license plate starting with Jin F belong to?

License plates starting with Jin F are not district-specific. The letters on the license plate represent the prefecture-level city code where the vehicle is registered, generally assigned by the provincial vehicle management office based on the status of each prefecture-level city, with A being the provincial capital and B the second-largest city. Jin F is the license plate for Tianjin City (Jin F) in Tianjin Province. If you need to handle services such as license plate registration, annual inspections, or traffic violation processing, you can visit the Tianjin (Jin F) Vehicle Management Office. Below is some relevant information: 1. The license plate number is the identification number of the vehicle, just like an ID number for a person. For cars, the license plate number has a two-row structure, with the upper row being the vehicle registration authority code and the lower row being the license plate number. For motorcycles, the license plate number has a left-right structure, with the left side being the vehicle registration authority code and the right side being the license plate number. 2. The currently used 92-style vehicle license plates consist of a Chinese character and an English letter representing the issuing authority code, followed by a five-digit number. For example, "Su A-12345"—"Su" represents Jiangsu Province, and A is the issuing code of the Nanjing Public Security Bureau Vehicle Management Office, indicating that the license plate was issued by the Nanjing Public Security Bureau Vehicle Management Office. The following five digits are the serial number.

Does a Car Get Affected If Left Unused for a Long Time?

When a vehicle is left unused for an extended period, components such as the battery, engine oil, lubricants, braking system, and electronic parts may experience varying degrees of aging and damage. Here are some relevant details: 1. Before reuse, it is advisable to thoroughly inspect and replace the "five oils and three fluids," including the battery, engine oil, and coolant. Additionally, the tire pressure of all four tires must be checked, and if severe tire aging is detected, all four tires should be replaced promptly. 2. For vehicles parked for long durations, covering them with a car cover can prevent dust accumulation. Moreover, choosing the right parking location is crucial—avoid parking under trees, in direct sunlight, low-lying areas, or underground parking lots with poor drainage. If possible, opt for an above-ground indoor parking facility. Ideally, start the vehicle at least once a week and drive it for more than 10 kilometers each time, as this is the best way to prevent aging.
