Open the CarPlay application on the infotainment screen and enter the main menu. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, search for the device, and connect. Once connected, your phone will display a pop-up notification. Tap "Use CarPlay" to complete the connection, and the CarPlay main interface will appear on the infotainment screen. The vehicle's internet configuration refers to the built-in mobile network functionality in the multimedia infotainment system, enabling features such as online navigation, real-time information updates, and online music.

Hey, I'm also a 2021 MG5 owner. Connecting CarPlay is actually quite simple. First, make sure your iPhone is a newer model with the latest iOS version. Then locate the USB port below the center console screen in your car and connect your iPhone using the original USB cable. Your iPhone will automatically pop up a CarPlay prompt - just tap 'Allow'. Next, you'll see the Apple CarPlay icon on the car screen - select it to switch to the navigation and music interface. I use this daily for Spotify or navigation - super convenient and eliminates the risk of looking down at your phone. If you experience lag or connection issues, it might be due to an aging USB cable or the need to restart the infotainment system. Trying a new cable usually helps. Remember CarPlay only works with iPhones - Android phones can't use this feature at all.

How to Determine the Right Side of the Car Doesn't Scrape People?

Methods to determine if the right side of the car doesn't scrape people: First, find a reference point, such as a pedestrian walking on the lane line, and judge the distance between the car and the pedestrian by their position relative to the engine hood. When the pedestrian is at the halfway point on the right side of the engine hood, the distance between the car and the pedestrian is 30 centimeters. When the pedestrian is at the one-third point on the right side of the engine hood, the distance is 60 centimeters. The method to determine the position of the car's right front corner is as follows: 1. For pedestrians, when they are 20 centimeters away from the right front corner, the lowest visible point is their waist. 2. For other vehicles, when the distance between the car and an obstacle vehicle is 20 centimeters, the lowest visible point of the obstacle vehicle is at 80 centimeters.

Must the Engine Be Turned Off When Refueling?

It is mandatory to turn off the engine when refueling a car. Below is a detailed explanation of the reasons why the engine must be turned off during refueling: 1. Gasoline is an electrolyte: Choosing to refuel while the car is still running may cause leakage in some operational car instruments, leading to short circuits or circuit failures. 2. Gasoline concentration in the air: When the vehicle is running without being turned off, the instruments inside generate a significant amount of heat, accelerating the volatilization of gasoline. Refueling while the engine is still on increases the concentration of gasoline vapor around the fuel tank. 3. Exhaust pipe emissions: During operation, the car's exhaust pipe continues to emit exhaust gases. On one hand, the exhaust pipe can reach very high temperatures, and on the other hand, the exhaust may carry sparks, which can easily pose safety hazards.

What are the main tasks of the oil supply system in a steam turbine?

The main tasks of the oil supply system in a steam turbine are: 1. To supply oil to each bearing of the unit for lubrication and cooling; 2. To provide stable and sufficient pressure oil to the regulation system and protection devices for their normal operation; 3. To supply lubricating oil to various transmission mechanisms. The steam turbine oil supply system mainly consists of a main oil pump, oil injector, emergency oil pump, AC oil pump, DC oil pump, oil cooler, filter, and oil tank. Among these, the main oil pump serves as the power source of the oil system, continuously delivering oil to the lubrication and regulation oil systems during normal operation. The AC oil pump and DC oil pump, also known as auxiliary oil pumps, are used to supply lubricating oil when the main oil pump is not functioning properly during the startup or shutdown of the steam turbine.

What causes the EV function limitation in BYD vehicles?

EV stands for Electric Vehicle, which is the abbreviation for electric vehicles. When the vehicle's EV function is limited, it is necessary to immediately take it to a repair shop or 4S store for professional repair to avoid unnecessary trouble during use. Below is more related information: Pure electric vehicles: 1. Pure electric vehicles have both advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage is that they are very environmentally friendly, generally producing no tailpipe emissions, and thus do not cause pollution to the environment. Additionally, pure electric vehicles produce very little noise during driving, making them quite comfortable to ride in. 2. However, the disadvantages of pure electric vehicles are also quite clear, primarily their limited range compared to fuel-powered vehicles. In remote areas, charging may not always be convenient. Furthermore, in terms of nationwide coverage, pure electric vehicles still have a long way to go.
