The mirror adjustment area is located on the door handle after opening the door. The left switch can be used to adjust the direction and angle of the left side mirror. Place the horizontal line at the center of the mirror, then adjust the edge of the car body to occupy one quarter of the mirror image.

Adjusting the left side mirror of the car is actually quite simple. I usually start by sitting in the driver's seat, ensuring my posture is comfortable, just like when I normally drive. Then, I start the engine. If it's an electric mirror, I use the control button on the door armrest to adjust it slowly. My goal is to set the mirror angle so that the side of the car body is just out of view, which maximizes the field of vision and avoids accidents caused by blind spots. While adjusting, I first check the position of the rear wheel in the mirror to ensure it covers the adjacent lane and vehicles behind. If it feels insufficient, I make slight adjustments to the height and left-right angle. Remember, after adjusting, always take a short test drive, such as reversing or turning on a safe road section, to confirm there are no blind spot issues. This habit enhances driving safety, especially at night or in rainy conditions, so it's important to regularly check the mirror's state. Making this a routine has significantly reduced potential risks.

When will the new BMW X5 be domestically produced?

BMW new X5 was domestically produced in 2022. Below are the details about the new BMW X5: 1. As a flagship product, the all-new X5 adopts a brand-new design language, featuring the most eye-catching "thickened and widened" "kidney grille" at the front, paired with LED headlights on both sides, Y-shaped daytime running lights, and large-sized wheels, presenting a more youthful and sporty overall visual effect. In terms of body dimensions, all aspects have been improved compared to the previous generation. Taking the wheelbase as an example, the new X5 has increased by 42 mm, reaching 2975 mm. 2. The interior of the new car also features a completely new design, including a combination of instrument panel and control display (both 12.3 inches), equipped with the latest BMW iDrive 7.0 human-machine interaction system, which adopts the most advanced all-digital design. Additionally, the new car is equipped with a panoramic sunroof with starry sky effect, intelligent ambient lighting, welcome light carpet, Bowers & Wilkins 3D Diamond Surround Sound System, and a professional-grade rear-seat entertainment system with a 10.2-inch touchscreen display, among others. In terms of powertrain, the version introduced to the Chinese market in the future will be equipped with an inline 6-cylinder gasoline engine, delivering a maximum power of 250 kW and a maximum torque of 450 N·m. Paired with the new 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds.

Why doesn't the steering wheel automatically return to center?

The main reason for the steering wheel not automatically returning to center is damage to the external steering gear. When a car turns, the steering wheel is designed to automatically return to center to enhance vehicle handling and driving stability, with the key factors being caster angle and kingpin inclination. Additional information: 1. For tires, turning the steering wheel while stationary causes the wheels not to roll. Especially for the front wheels, which bear the weight of the vehicle while also turning, this increases wear on the tire surface and reduces the tire's lifespan. Uneven tire wear and force distribution lead to varying degrees of damage on the tire tread, increasing driving hazards. 2. Prolonged stationary steering puts significant stress on the steering system itself. Repeated stationary steering keeps the system under high operational stress, requiring substantial power assistance. This can cause excessive play in the linkage system, leading to premature aging of the steering wheel, reduced operational sensitivity, slower response times, and other safety hazards.

What Causes the Prado Key to Not Turn?

The Prado key won't turn because the steering wheel is locked. To resolve this issue and turn the key again, you must simultaneously wiggle the steering wheel while turning the key forward. Here is an introduction to the Prado: 1. The Prado is the latest model in Toyota's Land Cruiser series, featuring excellent power performance and meeting Euro III emission standards. 2. Its advanced engine delivers strong output power and torque, paired with a highly robust frame and reinforced suspension system, making even rugged journeys comfortable and smooth. 3. As a standard feature representing the Prado's spirit, the new model retains the front wide anti-scratch strip design, which is highly practical for off-road adventures. Unlike the bold front style, the Prado's hood appears relatively plain, with no prominent bulges or decorative tangent lines—just a flat surface with straight tangent lines on both sides, giving it a somewhat ordinary look. 4. With a 220mm ground clearance, the Prado offers good off-road capability. Its approach and departure angles, both at 27 degrees, are moderate for this class. The non-load-bearing frame adopts an advanced front double-wishbone independent suspension and rear four-link suspension structure, enhancing the vehicle's torsional and bending rigidity. 5. The new model also comes standard with large 265/65R17 tires, combined with Toyota's advanced four-wheel-drive system and central differential lock, balancing off-road capability with urban driving comfort.

What is the Difference Between Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive and Part-Time Four-Wheel Drive?

The difference between full-time four-wheel drive and part-time four-wheel drive is: 1. The full-time four-wheel drive system provides power to all four wheels at all times, while the part-time four-wheel drive system allows the driver to switch modes. Vehicles equipped with a part-time four-wheel drive system have three modes: high-speed four-wheel drive mode, low-speed four-wheel drive mode, and high-speed two-wheel drive mode. The structure of the part-time four-wheel drive system is more complex and occupies more space. 2. The part-time four-wheel drive system and full-time four-wheel drive system are used in different types of vehicles. Most luxury SUVs and rugged off-road vehicles use the full-time four-wheel drive system, while the part-time four-wheel drive system is only found in some rugged off-road vehicles. Vehicles equipped with a part-time four-wheel drive system have stronger off-road capabilities. Below is some additional information: Another common four-wheel drive system is the on-demand four-wheel drive system, which is often found in some urban SUVs. Vehicles equipped with an on-demand four-wheel drive system do not provide power to all four wheels at all times. Most of the time, these vehicles operate in two-wheel drive mode and only switch to four-wheel drive under special circumstances.

What does TCS mean?

TCS stands for Traction Control System, also known as the Track Control System. It determines whether the drive wheels are slipping by comparing the rotation speed of the drive wheels with that of the driven wheels. 1. When the former is greater than the latter, it suppresses the rotation speed of the drive wheels. 2. Its operation mode is very similar to ABS, as both use sensors and brake regulators. Additional Information: 1. When TCS detects wheel slip, it first adjusts the engine ignition timing through the engine control computer to reduce torque output or applies brakes to the slipping wheel. In cases of severe slipping, it further controls the engine fuel supply system. 2. During TCS operation, the transmission maintains a higher gear to prevent sudden downshifts when the throttle is increased, thereby avoiding wheel slip.

What are the effects of not changing engine oil in a timely manner?

Effects of prolonged non-replacement of engine oil: 1. The primary function of engine oil is to lubricate the engine. If it is not changed for a long time, the oil can become ineffective and deteriorate, which will increase engine wear. In severe cases, it may even lead to engine seizure. 2. Another important role of engine oil is cleaning. If the oil is compromised, it cannot effectively remove impurities (such as carbon deposits and metal particles) generated on the surfaces of engine components. Over time, this not only affects heat dissipation and lubrication but can also clog oil passages, leading to engine damage or even complete failure, with diesel engines being particularly vulnerable to worse operating conditions. 3. The cooling efficiency of the oil will decrease, adversely affecting certain car components. Especially for structurally weaker parts, prolonged exposure can lead to damage or even complete burnout.
