The BMW 5 Series battery is 12.0kWh (10.8kWh usable). Car Battery: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Batteries are divided into conventional batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. Typically, the battery referred to is a lead-acid battery. The normal service life of a car battery ranges from 1 to 8 years, which largely depends on the condition of the vehicle. Car Battery Maintenance: Turn off lights and audio before parking and shutting off the engine; avoid leaving the air conditioning on when the engine is off; do not leave the car parked for long periods; regularly wipe the battery; clean the car battery periodically; prevent the battery from running low; and conduct regular inspections of the car battery.

Having driven a BMW 5 Series for several years, I've gained solid experience with its battery. The standard capacity is measured in ampere-hours (Ah), not milliampere-hours (mAh)—the latter is typically used for small batteries like those in phones. The BMW 5 Series usually comes with an AGM-type battery, with capacities ranging roughly between 70Ah and 90Ah, with newer models commonly equipped with 90Ah. A higher Ah rating ensures more reliable starts, especially in cold winter temperatures when the risk of failure is higher. My car has a 90Ah AGM battery, which lasts about 4 years—regular voltage checks are crucial. A reading above 12.4 volts generally indicates good health. If the capacity is too low, say below 70Ah, starting issues may arise. I recommend sticking to OEM-spec batteries for replacements and avoiding prolonged electrical use while the engine is off, like running the AC or charging devices, as this drains the battery quickly. Learning to check voltage with a multimeter can save you a lot of repair headaches and ensure driving safety. Years of driving have taught me that proper battery maintenance is key to hassle-free ownership.

What do the icons for low beam and high beam look like?

High beam icon: Five horizontal lines in front of a sideways lampshade; Low beam icon: Five parallel diagonal lines in front of a sideways lampshade. Typically, the high beam icon emits blue light when activated, while the low beam icon emits green light. To turn on the low beam and high beam, follow these steps: 1. For lever-type and rotary-type light combination switches, which have a low beam position: Rotate the light control switch handle to the low beam position to turn on the low beam. The same applies to rotary-type light switches—turn clockwise to the low beam position to activate the low beam. 2. For both lever-type and rotary-type light switches, the high beam is activated by moving the lever: Push the lever toward the engine compartment to keep the high beam on continuously; return the lever one position to turn off the high beam and restore the low beam; pull the lever one position toward the driver to activate the temporary high beam flash, and the switch will automatically return to the low beam position when released.

How to Adjust Slight Steering Wheel Deviation?

Adjust it through wheel alignment by determining the central position of the steering gear and adjusting the tie rods to ensure left-right consistency. More information about wheel alignment is as follows: 1. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, adjusted to ensure good driving performance and a certain level of reliability. 2. The installation of a car's steering wheels, steering knuckles, and front axle has a specific relative position, called steering wheel alignment, also known as front wheel alignment. Front wheel alignment includes four aspects: caster angle, kingpin inclination angle, camber angle, and toe-in. 3. The purpose of wheel alignment: to keep the car driving straight stably and make steering easier, while reducing wear on the tires and steering components during driving.

What to do if the trunk of Wuling Hongguang S3 cannot be opened?

The solutions for the trunk of Wuling Hongguang S3 not opening are as follows: 1. Remove the interior trim panel of the trunk: The trim panel is secured by clips, and releasing the clips will allow you to remove the trunk's interior trim panel. 2. Remove the screws and clips on the back of the rear tailgate. 3. After removing the fixing method of the rear tailgate switch trim panel, you can see that the switch core is disconnected. 4. Once the switch core is disconnected, you can see the locking mechanism of the trunk. Gently pull the locking mechanism by hand to open the trunk. The reasons why the trunk of Wuling Hongguang S3 cannot be opened are as follows: 1. Usually using the key to open the trunk: The linkage rod is broken. 2. Usually using the remote control to open the trunk: The lock cylinder is dirty or rusty.

What does ESC in cars mean?

ESC is an active safety device in car configurations: Electronic Stability Control system or Driving Safety Supplement system. More information about ESC is as follows: 1. ESC is a further extension of the functions of the car's Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS). On the original basis, it adds a yaw rate sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and steering wheel angle sensor when the vehicle is turning. It controls the driving force and braking force of the front, rear, left, and right wheels through the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) to ensure the lateral stability of the vehicle. 2. The role of ESC: When the vehicle is extremely unstable, it increases the stability of the vehicle and prevents accidents by controlling the wheel brakes or engine torque. 3. ESC is a general term, and different brand manufacturers have separate names for the ESC system. For example, Volkswagen's ESC system is called ESP, Toyota's ESC system is called VSC, and Honda's ESC system is called VSA. 4. The ESC consists of three main parts: sensors, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and actuators.
