After the vehicle is turned off, the dash cam can still record, but only if it has a parking monitoring function. Here is some related knowledge about dash cams: 1. How to turn off the dash cam: Generally, the dash cam will automatically start when the vehicle is turned on and shut down when the vehicle is parked and turned off. You can also press the power button to turn it off directly. 2. About parking monitoring: Dash cams with parking monitoring usually draw power directly from the ACC fuse box via a step-down cable. When the vehicle is parked and turned off, the dash cam will automatically shut down (more accurately, it enters a low-power sleep mode). However, if it detects a collision or movement in front of the vehicle, it will immediately activate the parking monitoring function and record the surrounding footage.

What does NOA mean in cars?

Tesla NOA is actually a function called Navigate-on-Autopilot, which is part of Tesla's Full Self-Driving upgrade package. It enables the vehicle to automatically enter and exit highway ramps or interchange forks, and overtake slower-moving vehicles. Here are the specific details about NOA: 1. Function: The NOA feature is characterized by its ability to autonomously determine the timing of entering and exiting highways, as well as the timing of overtaking, and to perform automatic lane changes for overtaking without human intervention. It is worth noting that even when activated, this function can only be truly enabled when the vehicle enters a designated closed section of the road, accompanied by audio and visual reminders, and even tactile feedback from the steering wheel vibration during lane changes. 2. Usage: The method of using this function is relatively simple. After setting a navigation point and starting navigation in the vehicle's system, quickly pull the cruise control lever towards you twice to activate the automatic assisted navigation driving function. During use, a single blue line represents the forward travel route, helping the vehicle stay within the driving lane. The gray lines that appear indicate upcoming lane changes in the travel route or suggest lanes that should be changed for smoother driving.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the BMW 5 Series?

The minimum ground clearance of the BMW 5 Series is 149mm. The minimum ground clearance of the BMW 5 Series refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which is used to indicate the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. A higher ground clearance for the BMW 5 Series improves its off-road capability, but if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. The BMW 5 Series (English name: CAMRY) was first designed in 1916. Its body dimensions are: length 5106mm, width 1868mm, height 1500mm, with a wheelbase of 3105mm. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110mm and 150mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200mm and 250mm. However, the ground clearance of the BMW 5 Series is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the load variations of the Camry. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban areas with well-maintained roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. For long-distance travel or driving in areas with poor road conditions, a vehicle with higher ground clearance may be preferable to avoid damage to the chassis.

How to Determine if an Expansion Valve is Good or Bad?

If the expansion valve shows obvious signs of breakage, deformation, or damage on its exterior, then the expansion valve is already faulty. If the expansion valve is faulty, the low-pressure pipe will not be cold—it should normally be very icy—and the dryer bottle surface will frost over, as will the condenser.
