To cancel the tire pressure warning on a BMW, press and hold the 'set' button located on the right side in front of the gear lever. BMW models include the BMW 5 Series, BMW 3 Series, BMW X1, BMW X5, BMW X3, among others. Taking the 2021 BMW 5 Series as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized 4-door, 5-seat sedan with body dimensions of 5106mm in length, 1868mm in width, and 1500mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3105mm.

I've been driving a BMW for many years and have experience with canceling the tire pressure alarm. Usually, the alarm goes off because the tire pressure is either too low or too high. It's best to first use a pressure gauge to check all tires and ensure they're inflated to the BMW-recommended standard values (found on the label inside the door frame). If everything's fine, sit in the car and start the engine without moving the steering wheel. Use the iDrive knob or steering wheel buttons to navigate the menu, find the vehicle settings, select the tire pressure monitoring system, and then click reset or initialize. The process takes a few minutes and is only effective if you keep the speed below 20km/h. After completing this, drive a short distance and the alarm will stop. But remember, if the alarm keeps going off repeatedly, don't ignore it—there might be a tire leak or sensor issue that requires a visit to the dealership. Safety first, incorrect tire pressure can lead to blowouts and affect handling. I make it a habit to check the tire pressure weekly to avoid any issues.

Will the Engine Get Flooded If the Car Is Parked by the Roadside and Submerged?

If a car is parked outdoors during heavy rain, it generally won't get flooded. However, if the water level rises above half of the tires, the engine may take in water. Here's an introduction to the impacts of car flooding: Interior Effects: Prolonged soaking can cause materials like carpets and seats to deform, become rough, and produce odors, leading to bacterial growth. Moisture accumulation in the wiring harness beneath the carpets may result in short circuits due to dampness. It's advisable to replace all soaked components to avoid long-term water damage effects. Door Panel Effects: The soundproofing material inside door panels needs replacement after flooding. The four-wheel bearings must also be replaced because their seals contain lubricating grease. If not replaced, the grease can corrode and deteriorate, losing its lubricating properties and compromising driving safety.

What Causes the Noise from the Right Rear Wheel of the Car?

Noise from the right rear wheel of the car is an issue with the suspension system. Here is an introduction to suspension-related content: Check if the springs are aged: The owner can inspect whether the upper and lower pads of the springs have aged, causing the springs to collide with metal supports and produce noise. Also, check the aging level of the rubber components at the connection points of various suspension links. Additionally, inspect whether the rear shock absorbers are leaking oil. If there is oil leakage from the shock absorbers, they can no longer function effectively. Check the shock absorber screws: See if the rubber sleeves of the upper and lower fixing screws are loose. If they are, they need to be replaced or secured firmly. Inspect the screws of the chassis, rear axle, and tires for looseness, and tighten all screws that may cause noise. If the dust cover has hardened and elongated, causing noise due to friction, the excess part of the dust cover should be trimmed off.

Who to Contact When a Tree Falls on Your Car by the Roadside?

If your car is damaged by a falling tree, you should contact the relevant authorities for resolution. Below is an introduction to the relevant procedures when your car is hit by a tree: Contact the parking lot management: If your car is indeed damaged by a falling tree, the first thing you should do is contact the parking lot's management. Since you parked your car in this parking lot and paid a parking fee, the parking lot is responsible for any damages caused by trees falling within its premises. Contact your insurance company: However, if the incident occurs in a public, non-fee parking area, you should then contact your insurance company. Many car owners purchase insurance after buying their vehicles. Tree falls are considered natural disasters, so if you contact your insurance company and they determine that the damage meets the compensation criteria, the insurance company will cover all repair costs, and you won't have to pay out of pocket.
