The rearview mirror is a tool that allows the driver, seated in the driver's seat, to directly obtain external information about the rear, side, and lower parts of the car. Rearview mirrors can be categorized into interior rearview mirrors, exterior rearview mirrors, and under-mirrors based on their installation positions. All rearview mirrors must be adjustable in direction. Below are the steps to adjust the rearview mirror on a BMW X1: 1. Use the remote to unlock the car door. 2. Press the one-touch start switch to power on the vehicle. 3. The rearview mirror adjustment switch is located on the left side of the door panel. 4. The four triangular symbols (up, down, left, right) represent the four directions for adjusting the rearview mirror. 5. The left button is for folding the rearview mirror. 6. The right button is used to switch between adjusting the left and right rearview mirrors.

To adjust the rearview mirrors on the BMW X1, first sit in the driver's seat and ensure a comfortable posture, as incorrect seating position may affect the adjustment results. On the driver's door handle, there is a circular control knob or button—that's the mirror adjustment switch. After starting the vehicle, gently press the left or right side of the knob to select the left or right mirror—press left for the left mirror, right for the right one. Once selected, use a joystick-like lever to move the mirror up, down, left, or right until the angle is just right. As someone who frequently drives long distances, I find proper visibility crucial—ensure you can see the lane lines and vehicles behind you in the mirror to avoid blind-spot accidents. The BMW X1's mirrors also come with a heating function; in rainy or snowy conditions, a single press quickly defogs them, maintaining clear visibility. Always test the adjustment after each change to ensure all blind spots are covered during turns—safe driving starts with attention to detail. Regularly cleaning the mirror surface is also a good habit, as dust buildup can reduce clarity. Oh, and if you have the electric version, it might support memory functions—once you save your seat position, the mirror angles will automatically adjust to your settings, which is super convenient. As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I’ve found these small adjustments make driving safer and more effortless. New drivers should definitely give them a try.

How many liters of engine oil does the Volkswagen Passat require?

The Volkswagen Passat requires 5.5 liters of engine oil. According to official recommendations, the Volkswagen Passat should use SN-grade or higher 5W40 or 0W40 engine oil. It is important not to add too much or too little oil. When there is too much oil, the engine's crankshaft and connecting rod ends will churn the oil violently during operation, reducing the engine's output power and the vehicle's service life. When there is too little oil, friction between bearings and journals will increase due to insufficient lubrication, accelerating wear and potentially leading to bearing failure. The Passat is a mid-size sedan designed by Volkswagen AG in Germany, equipped with 1.4T and 2.0T engines in both high and low power versions. In terms of dimensions, the Passat measures 4870mm in length, 1834mm in width, and 1472mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2803mm.

What is the purpose of vehicle anti-skid control?

Vehicle anti-skid control function: Primarily controls the longitudinal and lateral stability of the vehicle to ensure it moves according to the driver's intentions. When tires are about to lock up during braking, the ESP system performs "mechanical cadence braking" with hundreds of braking actions per second. This allows the vehicle to maintain steering control via the steering wheel even during full-force braking. The ESP works in coordination with the engine ECU - when drive wheels slip, the engine ECU immediately reduces throttle intake to lower engine RPM and decrease power output, while the ESP ECU applies braking to the slipping drive wheels. This helps minimize slippage and maintain appropriate power output for optimal tire-road traction.

Do tires with cracks need to be replaced?

Tires with minor cracks do not need to be replaced. It is recommended to replace tires every 5 to 6 years, or approximately every 80,000 kilometers based on mileage. The typical lifespan of a tire is five years, and small cracks may appear after about three years of use. If the cracks are minor and located on the tread of the tire, they are considered normal signs of aging, cracking, or wear and do not require replacement, but regular inspections are still necessary. However, if cracks appear on the sidewall of the tire, it is important to have it checked at a service center promptly and replaced if necessary, as the sidewall is the most vulnerable part of the tire and continued driving may lead to a blowout. Additionally, if the cracks are too long or deep, reaching the standard tread depth of 1.6 millimeters, replacement is also required.
