The calculation formula for the outer diameter D of a tire is: D = rim diameter + tire width × aspect ratio × 2. A tire is a circular ring, so it has inner and outer diameters, with the outer diameter referring to the diameter of the circle in contact with the ground. The size data of the tire are marked on the sidewall of the tire, which includes recommended tire pressure, size, production date, speed rating, load index, and other information. Relevant information about car tires is as follows: 1. A tire is a circular elastic rubber product mounted on various vehicles or machinery that rolls on the ground. 2. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle. They directly contact the road surface and, together with the car suspension, help to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improve the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bear the weight of the car.

Why does the electric vehicle show a green light when charging?

The reason why the electric vehicle shows a green light when charging is due to a fault in the charger indicator or converter, battery aging, swelling, or the electric vehicle being stored with a depleted battery. Fault in the charger indicator or converter: Generally, if there is a fault in the charger indicator or converter, the electric vehicle may show an early green light. Although the green light is displayed, very little or no charge is actually being added, leading to a decrease in the vehicle's range. For this issue, simply replacing the charger with a new one will resolve the problem. Battery aging or swelling: If the battery itself is aged or swollen, it cannot be charged properly when the electric vehicle is plugged in. In simple terms, the battery's capacity has significantly decreased, preventing it from being fully charged and causing the charger to show an early green light. For this situation, the battery cannot be repaired normally and needs to be replaced with a new one.

What are the energy sources for new energy vehicles?

New energy vehicles utilize various energy sources including fuel cells, hydrogen energy, solar power, and alcohol ethers. New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that employ unconventional vehicle fuels as their power source (or use conventional vehicle fuels but incorporate new onboard power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive systems to form vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and innovative structures. New energy vehicles encompass four main types: Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV), Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV, including solar-powered vehicles), Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV), and other new energy vehicles (such as those using supercapacitors, flywheels, and other high-efficiency energy storage devices). The promotion of new energy vehicles aims to address environmental protection and petroleum crisis concerns by reducing or abandoning the current mainstream models that rely on burning traditional gasoline or diesel to power internal combustion engines.

How effective are BMW's laser headlights?

With a maximum range of 600 meters (limited to 450 meters domestically in China), it far surpasses existing LED and xenon headlights. Here are the specific details: 1. Advantages of LED headlights: Energy-efficient and compact in size, yet fundamentally, they are still scattered light sources. However, since current LEDs are COB (Chip on Board, meaning they are soldered onto circuit boards), the circuit board itself restricts LEDs to emit light only upwards, resulting in slightly better energy efficiency for LEDs. 2. Laser headlights: Laser is currently the only non-divergent light source among artificial light sources. Automotive headlights aim for long-distance visibility, minimal divergence, and low energy consumption. Laser is the most ideal artificial light source, offering completely direct illumination. BMW's laser headlights also require controlled scattering of the laser light source and reflection onto the road.

What is the BMW rotary button called?

BMW 5 Series gear shift knob next to the rotary button is the vehicle multimedia option selection key and volume adjustment key, used during media playback, unrelated to the vehicle's driving system. Introduction to the in-car player: This audio player differs from most other audio player applications in the store. Three different configurations can be defined. Use this setting for a large number. Choose one of 10 different color patterns. Use filters to limit the number of titles displayed. Supports playback in both portrait and landscape formats, and has been tested for iPhone4 and iPhone5. Function of the in-car player: This is an in-car music player software designed to minimize risks and distractions while driving. It takes additional media devices and uses the phone's music player on the side. The audio jack output connects to the car radio system and plays music stored on the phone's memory card.

What is the lifespan of a handbrake cable?

The handbrake cable does not have a specific replacement interval or service life. If the handbrake cable becomes loose, it can be tightened. However, if the handbrake cable is no longer functional, it needs to be replaced. The handbrake cable is a component found in vehicles equipped with mechanical handbrakes. Mechanical handbrakes have a handbrake lever located behind the gear shift lever, and this lever is connected to a cable. Over time, the cable of a mechanical handbrake may become loose due to prolonged use. The function of the handbrake is to provide resistance to the vehicle when parked, preventing it from rolling. This is also known as the parking brake in manual transmission vehicles or the parking gear in automatic transmission vehicles, which locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The braking force of the handbrake is much weaker than that of the service brake, and it is primarily used to prevent the vehicle from rolling when parked on a slope.

What are the reasons for the BMW 525 blower not working?

BMW 525 blower not working reasons: Blower used for too long: The blower has been used for a long time, and excessive dust accumulation leads to an increased friction coefficient between the rotor and the bearing, causing the rotor to be blocked or even stuck, resulting in overheating and damage to the coil. Insufficient power supply to the blower: It may be due to the absence of 220V AC input or a damaged coil. After connecting the power supply, carefully measure both ends of the power line with a test pen. If one end lights up and the other does not, it indicates that the power input is normal, and the blower coil may be damaged. If the test pen shows both ends lighting up or neither lighting up, it indicates a problem with the power input line.
