The BMW 120i has 3 driving modes, which are: Economy Mode (ECO), Comfort Mode, and Sport Mode. Each mode offers drivers a different driving experience and enjoyment, but most owners frequently use the Economy Mode (ECO) because this driving mode can also help save fuel in traffic congestion. The specific introductions are as follows: 1. Economy Mode (ECO): Simply put, this mode helps the car save fuel. During driving, the vehicle's power output is restrained, so even if the driver presses the accelerator deeply, the car itself will not accelerate quickly but will instead accelerate slowly. 2. Sport Mode: The most intuitive feeling of this driving mode is the enhanced push-back sensation of the vehicle, but the magic of this mode is that it can clear carbon deposits in the engine. 3. Comfort Mode: This driving mode is more comfortable, and the overall stability of the vehicle body is further enhanced. Whether going over speed bumps, braking in emergencies, or accelerating, it is much more comfortable than normal driving, reducing a lot of jerky sensations.

I previously drove a BMW 120i for a while, and it typically has several driving modes: Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport, and Sport Individual. Eco Pro is the economy mode, suitable for traffic jams or city driving. The throttle response is relatively gentle, saving a lot of fuel, making the drive less aggressive but more worry-free. Comfort mode is the default setting, offering a very smooth ride with light steering and softer suspension, making long drives less tiring. Switching to Sport mode transforms the car—engine acceleration becomes faster, gear shifts are more responsive, the exhaust note becomes more aggressive, and the push-back feeling is strong, making high-speed or mountain road driving truly exhilarating. Sport Individual allows for customization—I adjusted the steering wheel weight to make it heavier or set the throttle sensitivity to suit personal preferences. These modes can be switched via the Drive Dynamic button on the center console, which is extremely convenient. When switching, you can feel the changes in the car, such as the dashboard color turning red or blue, adding more fun to the drive and adapting to various scenarios, giving me more freedom in driving.

I absolutely adore the driving modes of the BMW 120i, which mainly include three options: Eco Pro, Comfort, and Sport, plus a Sport Individual mode. The Eco mode is fuel-efficient but offers softer acceleration, making it perfect for stop-and-go traffic during commutes. Comfort mode is the most comfortable for daily driving, with everything smooth and steady, natural steering, and a suspension that's not too firm. Sport mode is my favorite—just press a button and the car comes alive. Step on the gas and it surges forward, the transmission responds lightning-fast, the chassis feels more stable in corners, and it's even more exhilarating on the highway. Sport Individual allows customization, like setting the steering wheel to be firmer or the acceleration more aggressive, tailoring the driving experience to your style. Every time I drive and play with these modes, I can feel the differences in fuel consumption. While Sport mode guzzles more gas, the driving sensation is unbeatable, and the simple switching process adds to the fun.

Driving a BMW 120i, the common driving modes are Eco Pro, Comfort, and Sport. Eco Pro is economical and fuel-efficient, suitable for slow city driving; Comfort mode offers a balanced and smooth ride, being the daily go-to choice; Sport mode enhances power response for faster and more aggressive acceleration. I mostly use Comfort mode for its hassle-free and practical nature, occasionally switching to Sport on highways for some excitement. These modes can be easily toggled via buttons, enhancing the driving experience.

Why does the engine stall without throttle but runs when throttle is applied?

Specific reasons include the following: 1. Fuel system malfunction: During normal operation, the fuel pump draws fuel from the tank, passes it through the filter into the distribution line, and then sprays it out through the injector to form an air-fuel mixture. In this process, the fuel pump and injector are the most prone to failure, followed by filter and fuel line blockages. If necessary, the fuel system can be cleaned. To reduce such occurrences, always refuel at reputable gas stations with the correct grade of gasoline and ensure timely refueling to avoid letting the fuel level drop below the red line. 2. Throttle body blockage: The throttle body is undoubtedly the most critical component and also the most susceptible to issues. Typically, maintenance personnel will consider cleaning the throttle body. However, if frequent cleaning does not fully resolve the stalling issue, it usually indicates a fault. Additionally, check the vacuum pump to ensure normal air intake. 3. Abnormal spark plug ignition: In a gasoline engine, the combustible mixture is ignited by the spark plug near the top dead center of compression. Therefore, when the spark plug fails, it naturally leads to engine stalling. In such cases, replacing the spark plug is recommended. If replacement is inconvenient, temporary solutions like cleaning the electrodes or adjusting the central electrode length can be used. Other factors like insufficient battery voltage, leakage, faulty ignition coil, or wiring issues can also cause poor ignition or stalling. 4. Sensor malfunction: Check if all sensors and actuators are functioning properly. Key sensors include the throttle position sensor, oxygen sensor, and crankshaft position sensor. If the crankshaft position sensor has been replaced, also check if the oxygen sensor is contaminated.

How to Check Fuel Consumption on the New Excelle?

On the left side of the steering wheel, there is a circular adjustment button on the stalk. Rotating this circular button allows you to access different display information. It can show instant fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, instant speed, average speed, fuel range, and more. The details about fuel consumption are as follows: 1. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers = fuel consumption / distance traveled x 100. 2. Factors affecting vehicle fuel consumption: vehicle weight; engine thermal efficiency; vehicle condition; driving conditions; driving habits. 3. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when the car is driving at a constant speed on good road surfaces. Since constant-speed driving is a fundamental operating condition for cars on highways, and this type of fuel consumption is easy to measure, it is widely used.

Where is the cabin air filter located in the Dongfeng Renault Koleos?

Koleos's cabin air filter is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. Below are the key functions of the cabin air filter: 1. Ensures tight sealing against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. Separates solid impurities from the air such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles. 3. Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc. in the air, with strong and long-lasting moisture absorption capacity. 4. Prevents windshield fogging, ensuring clear visibility for safe driving; provides fresh air to the cabin, protecting occupants from inhaling harmful gases; effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. 5. Maintains clean cabin air to prevent bacterial growth; efficiently separates solid impurities like dust and abrasive particles; effectively blocks pollen to prevent allergic reactions that may affect driving safety. After prolonged use, the activated carbon filtration function diminishes, so it's recommended to purchase compatible replacement filters from auto parts markets.
