BMW 5 Series upgraded with original high-end electric lumbar support system. Upgraded models: The original lumbar support system from BMW uses pneumatic technology. Its working principle involves powering on and controlling the motor to inflate the airbags via switches. It offers four-way adjustment (up, down, forward, and backward). Once in the car, you can freely adjust it to the optimal position to prevent fatigue during long drives. Original configuration: The original configuration allows for damage-free installation without disrupting any factory wiring. It involves replacing high-end lumbar support components and the high-end control panel, without affecting the vehicle's original warranty. The factory high-end control panel is pre-installed, enabling the driver to manually or electrically adjust the position to support the lumbar curve, thereby reducing fatigue.

I've driven the BMW 5 Series a few times, and the car comes with quite comprehensive features, usually including lumbar support. In the high-end version or optional packages, the seats are adjustable with a small module that can support the lower back, movable up, down, left, and right, making long-distance driving comfortable without back pain. If you're buying a used or entry-level model, it's advisable to check the configuration list to confirm this feature to avoid discovering its absence after purchase. As a daily driver, lumbar support is crucial. I've driven 500 kilometers several times without issues, especially for someone like me with back pain—it helps maintain a more natural sitting posture and reduces the risk of fatigue driving. In short, the BMW 5 Series mostly comes standard with this function; just remember to test drive and adjust it to a comfortable position when needed.

What kind of oil is used in the Volkswagen 1.6 engine?

Volkswagen 1.6 engine uses fully synthetic oil. The functions of the oil are: 1. To separate the relatively sliding parts to reduce wear; 2. To bring the heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air to help the radiator cool the engine; 3. To circulate carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles on engine parts back to the oil tank, flushing away dirt generated on the working surfaces of the parts through the flow of the lubricating oil. The method for changing the oil is: 1. Lift the car, remove the protective plate, and place a container of about 10 liters under the oil drain screw; 2. Unscrew the oil drain screw, use an air gun to blow for two minutes at the oil filler port, tighten the oil drain screw after draining, and wipe it with a tissue to check for leaks; 3. Reinstall the protective plate, lower the car, and use a funnel to add oil into the filler port.

Does Insurance Cover Engine Failure?

Generally, car engine failure cannot be claimed through insurance unless it is caused by an accident. Below are the criteria for judgment and additional information: Basis for judgment: The engine is not covered under any car insurance policy. Therefore, insurance companies typically do not provide compensation in cases such as engine damage due to the vehicle's own issues or engine failure due to aging. However, if the engine is damaged due to a traffic accident, the insurance company will cover the claim. If the car is still under warranty and the engine fails, the owner can also apply for compensation at the car dealership. Cases where claims are possible: If the engine damage falls under the coverage of the car damage insurance, the owner can request compensation from the insurance company. In cases where the engine is damaged due to collisions or certain natural disasters, the owner should promptly notify the insurance company. After an on-site assessment by the insurance company's staff, the owner will receive appropriate compensation. However, if the car engine is damaged while the vehicle is unregistered, lacks a temporary license, or the temporary license has expired, the insurance company will not provide compensation.

How many days after window film installation can the windows be rolled up and down?

Window film generally requires one week before the windows can be rolled up and down. The reasons are as follows: 1. Prevention: The edges of the window film may not have completely dried when the windows are rolled up and down, which can cause the edges of the car window film to loosen and prevent it from adhering tightly. 2. Impact: The lifespan of the car window film and its effectiveness in blocking heat and filtering strong or glaring light. Information about window film is as follows: 1. Window film: A PET functional film applied to the surface of glass, which can provide heat insulation, thermal insulation, UV blocking, anti-glare, decoration, privacy protection, safety, and explosion-proof functions. 2. Functions: In summer, it can block 45-85% of direct solar heat from entering the interior, and in winter, it can reduce heat loss by more than 30%; When the glass breaks, the fragments can adhere tightly to the surface of the window film, maintaining their original shape without splintering or deforming; At the same time, the window film can withstand high temperatures of up to 500 degrees or more, effectively preventing fires and avoiding harm to the human body. High-quality window film can block glare and 99% of ultraviolet rays.
