To activate the panoramic view while driving a BMW, press the button on the right side of the central control screen when the vehicle is in D gear. The panoramic view can also be referred to as the all-around view system, panoramic view system, panoramic parking system, or 360-degree all-around view system. BMW is a German manufacturer, and its models include the BMW 1 Series, BMW i3, BMW X5, BMW 4 Series Convertible, BMW X7, and others. Taking the 2021 BMW X5 as an example, its body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV with dimensions of 4930mm in length, 2004mm in width, and 1776mm in height, a wheelbase of 2975mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 82 liters.

Adjusting the panoramic camera on a BMW is quite convenient. From my personal experience, as soon as the engine starts, you can immediately press the round 'Camera' button on the center console to activate it; if there's no button, launch the iDrive system—turn the silver knob to select 'Vehicle Information', scroll to the 'Parking Assistance' menu, and tap '360-degree View'. Avoid operating it while driving, as it can easily distract you; it's best used when parked or moving at low speeds. The system displays real-time blind spots around the vehicle, helping to avoid scrapes and bumps. Remember to clean the lenses regularly, as rain or dust can blur the image. BMW's technology is thoughtfully designed, especially in crowded parking lots, making things much easier and boosting driving confidence. Regularly maintain and check if the camera is functioning properly.

As an experienced driver, I remind you that safety comes first: always ensure the car is stationary or at low speed before adjusting the panoramic view. BMW's iDrive system makes it simple to navigate to the settings menu—just go to 'Vehicle → Driving Assistance → Parking View'. You can also activate it directly by pressing the center console button, but try to use it sparingly while driving to avoid distractions. Once activated, the system displays a full view of the surroundings, helping you spot obstacles, which is especially useful when parking in tight spaces. Keeping the cameras clean is crucial—wipe them monthly to maintain clear images. BMW's assistance system is truly reliable, reducing the risk of accidents.

What to Do When a Car Catches Fire?

When a car catches fire, the following steps should be taken: 1. If the car engine catches fire, the driver should stop the vehicle immediately, allow passengers to open the doors and exit, then cut off the power supply, with special attention to protecting the fuel tank and the radiator containing antifreeze; 2. If a fire breaks out during refueling, stop fueling immediately, quickly drive the car out of the gas station, and use a fire extinguisher or clothing to extinguish the flames on the fuel tank. Common causes of car fires include: 1. Damage to the gasoline pipeline; 2. Short circuits caused by damaged electrical insulation leading to fires; 3. Friction between damaged or detached car parts and the ground, igniting combustible materials; 4.

Warranty: 3 Years or 100,000 Kilometers?

Warranty is valid for 3 years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. The meaning of a 3-year or 100,000-kilometer vehicle warranty is that the manufacturer will repair or replace any quality issues free of charge within this period. After exceeding 3 years or 100,000 kilometers, the vehicle will no longer be covered by the warranty. Here are the relevant details: 1. Warranty Conditions: Many car manufacturers offer a warranty of 3 years or 100,000 kilometers. Once the vehicle has been used for more than 3 years or has traveled over 100,000 kilometers, it will no longer be covered by the warranty. Whichever condition is met first will determine the end of the warranty period. For example, if the vehicle has been used for 3 years but has not exceeded 100,000 kilometers, it will still be considered out of warranty, and vice versa. 2. Warranty Coverage: The warranty period and mileage do not apply to all vehicle components. Different parts have different warranty durations. Components like the battery, wipers, and rubber-based equipment generally have shorter warranty periods. The 3-year or 100,000-kilometer warranty often mentioned by 4S shops usually refers to the three major components of the car, which buyers should be aware of when purchasing.

Do You Need to Check Traffic Lights When Making a Right Turn?

When making a right turn, drivers must observe traffic lights, which come in two types: circular traffic lights and arrow-shaped traffic lights. When turning right, if the traffic light is circular and there are no auxiliary signs prohibiting a right turn on red, drivers do not need to wait for the light to turn green to make the right turn. If the traffic light is arrow-shaped, drivers cannot turn right when the right-turn arrow is red. They must wait until the right-turn arrow turns green; otherwise, they may be penalized for running a red light. Legal Regulations: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, the regulations regarding traffic lights are as follows: Article 25, Section 2 states that traffic signals include traffic lights, traffic signs, road markings, and the directions of traffic police. Article 26 specifies that traffic lights consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition, a green light permits passage, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Article 38 requires vehicles and pedestrians to follow traffic signals. If a traffic officer is directing traffic on-site, their directions must be followed. On roads without traffic signals, passage should be made under the principles of safety and smooth traffic flow. Article 62 states that pedestrians crossing intersections or roads should use crosswalks or pedestrian facilities. At intersections with traffic lights, pedestrians must follow the signals. At intersections without traffic lights or crosswalks, or when crossing roads without pedestrian facilities, pedestrians should ensure safety before proceeding. Article 89 stipulates that pedestrians, passengers, or non-motor vehicle drivers violating road traffic laws and regulations may receive a warning or a fine ranging from 5 to 50 yuan. Non-motor vehicle drivers who refuse to pay the fine may have their vehicles impounded. Motor vehicle drivers who violate traffic light rules will receive 6 penalty points. Right-Turn Precautions: Observe oncoming straight-moving vehicles: When making a right turn, drivers must check both the right and left sides for approaching vehicles. Watch for left-turning vehicles from the opposite direction: In addition to checking for straight-moving vehicles, drivers should also look for left-turning vehicles from the opposite side. When turning right, yield to vehicles coming from the left, whether they are turning left or going straight. Be mindful of pedestrians: When turning right, drivers should watch for pedestrians not only at crosswalks before the intersection but also at crosswalks around the corner.
