BMW's method to clear the maintenance reminder is: 1. Press and hold the left button on the dashboard to turn on the ignition, keeping the button pressed for more than 5 seconds; 2. When the display shows the 'SRV' prompt, release the button, and the display will flash; 3. Press the left button once more to complete the process. Additional Information: Taking the BMW 5 Series as an example: its length, width, and height are 5106mm, 1868mm, and 1500mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 3105mm, equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

When I drive my BMW, I often get annoyed by the maintenance reminder light and wanted to clear it myself. Turns out, it's quite simple. First, turn off the engine, sit in the driver's seat without moving, then press and hold the mileage reset button on the right side of the instrument panel. Turn the ignition to the second position without starting the engine. Wait a few seconds until the screen displays the oil service or similar option, release the button, and then press it briefly once to confirm the reset. Repeat this process to clear other items, like brake fluid checks. I figured this out on my own and have even helped friends with it a few times, saving them a trip to the repair shop. These small DIY operations are great because BMW's reminders are smart—they track the next service time. If you don't clear them, they keep beeping, which can distract you while driving. Regular maintenance is important, so don't be lazy and let the reminders linger, interfering with your daily driving.

How to Solve Loud Valve Noise?

Solutions for loud valve noise include: 1. Remove the cylinder head and grind the valves; 2. Check the tension of the valve springs and adjust the valve clearance; 3. Tighten the lock nuts on the screws; 4. Replace the valve spring basket; 5. When installing the valve seat, ensure the upper end face is aligned with the vehicle body plane. The causes of loud valve noise are: 1. Improper operation or wear of the valve guide bore, causing the valve seat to tilt or the valve clearance to be too small, leading to valve burning and incomplete valve closure; 2. Knocking sound between the valve stem tail and its driving component during engine idle operation; 3. Broken valve spring basket; 4. Valve seat noise, seat ring detachment.

Is Running Continuously for 12 Hours Harmful to the Car?

Running continuously for 12 hours is harmful to the car. Here are the relevant details about the harm caused by running continuously for 12 hours: 1. Cooling system overheating: If the vehicle runs continuously for 12 hours, the engine temperature will rise, causing the cooling system to lose its function and fail to cool down, leading to issues such as radiator blockage, which affects the car's stability and operability. 2. Engine oil leakage: Prolonged driving keeps the engine in a high-temperature state, increasing fuel consumption and keeping the engine under high load, which can cause gasoline to leak from the engine. In severe cases, the car's chassis might even get stained with oil. If exposed to open flames, this can easily lead to spontaneous combustion. 3. Reduced engine power: Long-term operation of the car engine raises its temperature, directly affecting the engine's power output. Without adequate rest, the engine can be easily damaged, reducing its lifespan. In extreme cases, the engine might fail to start due to overheating during the journey.
