In the BMW 3 Series, the volume can be adjusted either on the air conditioning panel or the steering wheel. To adjust the treble, bass, and tone, select the tone option in the settings or choose the tone adjustment in the external devices. Here are some maintenance tips for the BMW 3 Series audio system: 1. The main unit is significantly affected by weather, especially the circuit board and plastic components. The parameters of the electronic components on the circuit board vary with temperature changes. Therefore, if the car's interior temperature is high, it is advisable not to turn the audio volume too high, as this can affect both the sound quality and the lifespan of the audio system. 2. The mechanical part consists of metal and plastic components combined with a circuit board. Note that external high-power amplifiers are more sensitive to temperature changes and require large-capacity heat dissipation. Hence, during summer, ensure that the external amplifier is well-ventilated when using the audio system.

Should You Release the Throttle When Upshifting?

Whether to release the throttle when upshifting depends on two scenarios: 1. For manual transmission vehicles, you should release the throttle when upshifting; 2. For automatic transmission vehicles, there's no need to release the throttle. In automatic transmission vehicles, upshifting can occur in two ways: one is when the onboard computer automatically upshifts, which can be done without releasing the throttle, and the other is when using manual mode to upshift by shifting the gear lever to manual mode—pushing it upward to upshift and pulling it downward to downshift. The gears for automatic transmissions are as follows: P (Park) is the parking gear and also the starting gear; R (Reverse) is the reverse gear; N (Neutral) is the neutral gear; D (Drive) is the forward gear, also known as the driving gear; S (Sport) is the sport mode; and L (Low) is the low-speed gear.

What happens if the parking brake is not released?

If the parking brake is not released, it will cause the brake discs (drums) of the two rear wheels to overheat and even turn red after a long distance, which only accelerates the wear of the brake pads. The degree of wear on the brake pads can be determined by the effectiveness of the braking or by observing the position of the brake handle—whether it needs to be pulled tighter to be effective. Precautions for using the parking brake are: 1. Pull the parking brake until the rear wheels lock, then lift it 1 to 2 notches further to ensure the car does not roll; 2. When parking on a slope, use the parking brake to secure the car, then place bricks or other objects under the tires. Once the wheels are firmly fixed, release the parking brake to transfer the load to all four wheels, then pull the parking brake again so that both the wheels and the parking brake share the load.

What is the purpose of the tube next to the coolant reservoir?

It is the pipeline for the vehicle's air conditioning system. The pipe is silver in color and made of aluminum. There is a plastic cap on this pipe, which is blue with a capital letter 'L' on it. When the air conditioning is not cooling properly, Freon is added through this pipeline. The replacement intervals for vehicle coolant are as follows: 1. Replace the coolant once every two to four years of driving, or every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. 2. During daily use, pay attention to whether the coolant level is low. If it is low, it should be replenished promptly. 3. The vehicle's coolant is in a closed system and has very little consumption. If the coolant consumption is relatively high, check whether there is an issue with the engine.

Does Start-Stop Damage the Engine?

Vehicle start-stop functionality does not damage the engine. If it were harmful, this technology would not be installed. The functions of start-stop technology are as follows: 1. Reduce fuel consumption: When the vehicle is idling for extended periods, such as at traffic lights or in traffic jams, pausing the engine operation can prevent unnecessary fuel output, thereby lowering fuel consumption. 2. Reduce wear: When the car's engine is running, internal cylinders continuously move. The start-stop system pauses the engine operation, reducing friction caused by moving internal parts, thus minimizing wear and tear.
