Is it necessary to cover the car with a car cover after applying a car film?

In general, it is still possible to use a car cover after applying a car film. Here are the relevant details: 1. Function of car cover: A car cover can protect the car paint to a certain extent, especially during winter in northeastern regions where snow and frost frequently accumulate on the car body. Although short-term exposure may not cause significant damage, prolonged exposure can lead to varying degrees of harm to the car body. Using a car cover can effectively address this issue. 2. Invisible car film: An invisible car film is a polyurethane film containing UV-resistant polymers and anti-yellowing properties. It offers excellent toughness, wear resistance, color stability, and impact resistance. After applying the car film, it isolates the car paint from the air, protecting against acid rain, oxidation, and scratches, thereby providing long-term protection for the car's paint.

Which is the recirculation mode in BMW's AM setting?

In BMW vehicles, M stands for the recirculation mode. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. AM Mode Introduction: The A and M in BMW's air circulation system represent two different modes. A is the automatic mode, which determines whether to use recirculation or fresh air intake based on the outside air quality. M stands for recirculation mode, while the fresh air mode mainly serves ventilation purposes. The difference between recirculation and fresh air modes lies in whether the air intake vent is closed. 2. Usage Recommendations: You can use the recirculation mode when operating the air conditioning in summer. During rush hour traffic congestion, especially in tunnels, it's advisable to use recirculation mode to prevent exhaust fumes or dust from entering the cabin. However, when driving at high speeds with windows closed and only using recirculation mode, it may lead to oxygen deficiency inside the vehicle, potentially causing driver fatigue, lack of concentration, and safety hazards.
