Shift the gear to reverse, push the iDrive knob to the left, and a settings page will appear on the central control screen. Swipe through the page to find the reversing camera guidelines option, and check this option to display the guidelines when reversing. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The reversing camera functions like our eyes, using a wide-angle infrared camera installed at the rear of the vehicle. Through the display screen inside the car, obstacles behind the vehicle can be clearly seen. When the reverse gear is engaged, the system automatically activates the high-definition reversing camera located at the rear, displaying the situation behind the vehicle clearly on the reversing LCD screen, allowing the driver to accurately assess the rear road conditions. 2. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the reversing camera system automatically activates the camera at the rear, displaying the rear view on the central control or rearview mirror's LCD screen. At this point, a border area will appear on the screen, and the lines forming this area are the reversing camera guidelines, which can be considered as a simulation of the reversing result. These lines simulate the wheel trajectory under current reversing conditions, reminding the driver to adjust the direction in time.

I've been driving a BMW X3 for several years and found that activating the reversing camera guidelines is actually quite simple. In most cases, after starting the vehicle and shifting into reverse gear, the camera image automatically pops up on the central display. Then use the central iDrive knob—give it a gentle turn, look for the 'Settings' menu or 'Parking Assist' option on the screen, and click into it to find the 'Guidelines' toggle. Turn it on, and the reversing guide lines will appear. If your X3 is a newer model, the guidelines might be dynamic, moving according to the steering wheel's rotation to help accurately judge distance, which is crucial for parking safety. I recommend testing the system during normal driving to ensure it works properly. If it doesn’t display, it might be due to outdated software—try restarting the vehicle or visiting a BMW dealership to check the settings. Overall, BMW’s design is quite user-friendly, and you’ll get the hang of it after a few tries.

What Type of Engine Oil Should Be Chosen for RAV4?

RAV4 should use 0W20 engine oil, but 5w20 and 5w30 can also be used. The smaller the number before W, the lower the viscosity and the better the low-temperature fluidity, making it suitable for lower temperatures. The larger the number after W, the higher the viscosity, ensuring more stable protection under high-temperature conditions. When using engine oil, ensure the oil grade is correct and the oil is genuine, as counterfeit or inferior oil can damage the engine. The dimensions of the RAV4 are 4630mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1685mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2660mm. The vehicle is equipped with VSC (Vehicle Stability Control), 6 airbags, TRC (Traction Control System), HAC (Hill-start Assist Control), and an automatic limited-slip differential as standard across all models.

The Formula of Vehicle Urea and How to Mix It

Formula for vehicle urea solution: 1. Urea: White or light yellow, needle-like or prismatic crystals, with little or no powder. High-quality urea: (1) Appearance: Uniform crystals with consistent hardness. (2) Color and shape: White or light yellow prismatic crystals without impurities. (3) Gloss and texture: Translucent crystals with no surface reflection, smooth, loose, and not damp to the touch. (4) Burning test: Melts, emits white smoke, and has an ammonia odor. 2. Mixing ratios: (1) Standard urea solution: High-purity urea 32.5%, deionized water 67.5%. (2) Antifreeze urea solution: High-purity urea 32.5%, deionized water 52.5%, methanol 15%.

What Causes Engine Shaking When Warm but Not When Cold?

The reasons and solutions for engine shaking when warm but not when cold are as follows: 1. First, use an automotive diagnostic tool to check for any engine fault codes. If present, identify the faulty sensor and perform the necessary repairs; 2. If there are no engine fault codes, check for any engine misfires. If misfires are detected, inspect the spark plugs, ignition wires, ignition coils, crankshaft position sensor, and ignition coil circuits. Perform the necessary repairs or replacements; 3. If no misfires are detected, inspect the fuel supply system. Remove the fuel line and connect a fuel pressure gauge for a pressure test. A normal reading should be between 270Kpa and 350Kpa. If the fuel pressure is low, inspect and repair the fuel pump as needed; 4. If the fuel supply system is functioning properly, check if the throttle body is clean. If it is dirty, clean it thoroughly with carburetor cleaner. Then, check if the idle air control valve is working. If it is not functioning, replace it; 5. If the throttle body and idle air control valve are functioning properly, inspect the fuel injectors for proper operation or blockages. If the injectors are not working or leaking abnormally, check the injector wiring and perform the necessary repairs; 6. If the fuel injectors are functioning properly, check the compression of each cylinder. A normal compression reading should be 8 or higher. If the compression is insufficient, take the vehicle to a repair shop for the necessary repairs.

Why is the car idling high?

The main reasons for high car idle speed are: 1. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body, which reduces engine air intake, causing the ECU to increase throttle opening to raise RPM; 2. Air leaks at the rear of the throttle body, allowing outside air to enter the engine and increase RPM; 3. Generator failure causing the ECU to increase RPM; 4. Damage to the throttle body itself or the idle speed control valve. Specifically, the reasons for high car idle speed include: 1. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body. This carbon buildup forms over time from the intake system as air contains impurities like dust. When carbon buildup is significant, the throttle's opening and closing resistance increases, and engine air intake decreases. Reduced air intake can cause stalling, so the ECU increases air intake and adjusts the throttle opening to prevent stalling, naturally raising the idle speed. 2. Air leaks at the rear of the throttle body, usually caused by aging or cracked intake manifold gaskets or damaged vacuum hoses. Since the rear of the throttle body is in a negative pressure vacuum zone, leaks allow outside air to be drawn into the engine. When the ECU detects increased air intake, it increases fuel injection, raising idle speed. 3. Generator failure. When engine RPM remains constant, the generator load increases with additional electrical devices. If the ECU detects the generator is not producing electricity, it assumes the engine RPM is too low and commands an increase in idle speed. 4. Damage to the throttle body or idle speed control valve. A faulty potentiometer inside the throttle body affects the throttle opening size, and a larger opening leads to higher idle speed. The idle speed control valve regulates idle speed, and if it fails, idle speed will also increase. Correspondingly, solutions for high car idle speed include: 1. For excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body, use carburetor cleaner to remove the carbon deposits and then recalibrate the throttle opening. Be careful to avoid spraying cleaner into electrical connectors to prevent damage to internal electronic components. 2. For air leaks at the rear of the throttle body, use a smoke leak detector to locate the leak and then repair or replace damaged gaskets or vacuum hoses. 3. For generator failure, use a multimeter to check if the generator's output is within the normal range. If not, replace the faulty generator. 4. For damage to the throttle body or idle speed control valve, replace the throttle body or idle speed control valve. Finally, it is normal for idle speed to be high during a cold start (for a very short duration). This helps the engine reach optimal operating temperature quickly, improving fuel efficiency and protecting the engine. If idle speed remains high after the engine warms up, check for issues like throttle carbon buildup.
