To cool the air conditioning in a BMW 320, simply press the AC button. The principle is: After pressing the AC button, the compressor clutch engages, allowing the engine to drive the compressor. The compressor then continuously compresses the refrigerant and delivers it to the evaporator. The BMW 320 is a mid-size sedan under BMW Brilliance, with body dimensions of 4719mm in length, 1827mm in width, and 1459mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2851mm. The BMW 320 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 115 kW, with the maximum power speed ranging from 450 to 6500 rpm.

Cooling the BMW 320's air conditioning is actually quite easy. I've driven this car for several years and use this routine every summer. First, start the engine by turning the ignition key. Once the engine is running, simply press the AUTO button on the center console, and the air conditioning system will automatically activate, intelligently adjusting based on the cabin temperature. Then, rotate the temperature control knob to set it between 18 to 22 degrees Celsius—the lower the setting, the stronger the cooling effect, but avoid setting it too low to prevent increased fuel consumption. The most crucial step is ensuring the AC button light is on, indicating the compressor is working. If it's not lit, the air conditioning might only ventilate without cooling. It's recommended to open the windows for ventilation for a minute or two after starting the car before closing them, as this enhances cooling efficiency. Regularly replacing the air conditioning filter is also essential; otherwise, dust buildup can obstruct airflow and reduce cooling performance. I check it every six months to keep the system fresh and enjoy a cool driving experience.

What does M11 gear mean?

M11 gear refers to a manual mode in an automatic transmission, allowing manual control of gear shifting. Below is a partial introduction about car gears: 1. Automatic transmission: An automatic transmission does not require manual gear shifting while driving, whereas a manual transmission car requires timely gear shifting to change vehicle speed and engine torque. Automatic transmission cars generally consume more fuel than their manual counterparts of the same model, approximately 1 liter more per 100 kilometers. In terms of vehicle cost, the automatic transmission is more expensive than the manual transmission in the same model. The advantage of an automatic transmission lies in its ease of driving. Additionally, automatic transmissions include continuously variable transmission (CVT), electronic paddle shifters, and electronic gear shift levers. There are three types of transmissions in the market: manual transmission, automatic transmission, and semi-automatic transmission. 2. Transmission gears: Common automatic transmission vehicles have gears such as P, R, N, D, 3, 2, and 1. P stands for Park, used when parking (when turning off the engine). R stands for Reverse. N stands for Neutral, similar to the neutral gear in a manual transmission, used for short stops. D stands for Drive, where the transmission automatically shifts between gears 1-5 based on speed and throttle conditions.

How long can traffic violations captured by electronic eyes be processed without breaking the law?

Traffic violations captured by electronic eyes can be processed without breaking the law if handled at the traffic police station where the violation occurred within one month before the annual vehicle inspection. However, it is important to avoid exceeding the demerit point cycle of a driver's license to prevent accumulating 12 points in the next cycle due to untimely clearance. Electronic eyes, also known as electronic police, are commonly referred to as the Intelligent Traffic Violation Monitoring and Management System. They utilize various technologies such as vehicle detection, photoelectric imaging, automatic control, network communication, and computer systems to monitor violations like running red lights, driving in the wrong direction, speeding, crossing lines, and illegal parking around the clock. They capture images and information of traffic violations for subsequent processing based on the violation details.

How early can vehicle annual inspection be done?

Vehicle annual inspection can be done 90 days in advance. According to Article 32 of the Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations, the owner of a motor vehicle may apply for an inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office of the registration location within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. If a vehicle that has not undergone annual inspection continues to be driven on the road, it will be subject to a fine and a three-point penalty, and the vehicle will also be temporarily impounded. The time for vehicle annual inspection is not calculated based on specific dates, but rather by month. If the annual inspection is overdue, previously purchased vehicle insurance will not be valid. If a traffic accident occurs during this period, the insurance company will not provide compensation.

Can you change lanes over a solid white line?

Solid white lines cannot be crossed for lane changes. They are used to separate lanes traveling in the same direction, indicating that vehicles must stay within their lane and not cross into another lane going the same direction. Changing lanes by crossing a solid white line is considered a traffic violation for crossing the line illegally and may result in penalties. If an accident occurs while changing lanes over a solid white line, the driver will bear primary responsibility. According to regulations, vehicles and pedestrians must follow traffic signals. When directed by a traffic officer on site, they must follow the officer's instructions. On roads without traffic signals, they should proceed under the principle of ensuring safety and smooth traffic flow. Another common type is the solid yellow line, which separates lanes traveling in opposite directions, usually painted in the middle of the road like a divider. Unless under special circumstances, drivers should not cross this line while driving.

How long does the electronic eye consider it as illegal parking?

The duration for which the electronic eye captures temporary parking as illegal varies by region, typically ranging from 3 to 5 minutes. In no-parking zones, parking is considered a violation as soon as the vehicle stops. When a vehicle enters a temporary parking area, the camera takes a photo. If the vehicle leaves shortly after, the photo is automatically deleted; otherwise, a second photo is taken and uploaded to the system. The illegal parking capture camera is usually a black hemispherical-shaped device, commonly seen near no-parking zones. These cameras can not only capture illegal parking but also violations such as driving in the wrong direction or changing lanes over solid lines. It is advised that drivers avoid parking in prohibited areas.
