To permanently disable the auto start-stop function in BMW, simply press the 'AOFF' button. When the button light is on, it indicates that the start-stop function is deactivated. The auto start-stop function serves the following purposes: 1. Automatically controls engine shutdown and restart; 2. Reduces emissions and improves fuel economy; 3. Minimizes engine idle time by providing power to the engine cooling fan and cabin air conditioning via the electrical system when the engine is off. Taking the 2021 BMW 525Li as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5106mm, width 1868mm, height 1500mm, with a wheelbase of 3105mm and a fuel tank capacity of 68 liters.

Can a New Car with a Manufacturing Date Over 6 Months Be Accepted?

Vehicles with a production date exceeding 6 months are considered inventory cars. Due to prolonged storage, these inventory cars may experience issues such as degraded engine oil, battery depletion, premature paint deterioration, damp electronic components, and aging rubber parts. Continuing to drive such vehicles can significantly reduce their service life. Therefore, purchasing a brand-new car is more reliable. Below are methods to identify inventory cars: 1. Check the production date: Vehicles with a manufacturing date over half a year can be identified as inventory cars. 2. Inspect tire rubber for aging: Inventory cars stored outdoors are prone to rubber aging due to exposure to high temperatures, sun, and rain, as are other rubber components (wiper blades, sunroof seals, etc.). 3. Examine the chassis: Before purchasing, request the 4S store staff to lift the vehicle and check for shock absorber oil leaks and rust on the exhaust pipe and muffler.

Do tires need to be replaced at 60,000 kilometers?

60,000 kilometers is the time to replace tires. The typical service life of tires is 4 to 6 years or 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Tires with tread depth below 1.6mm should be replaced immediately. Continued use may lead to risks such as tire blowouts or reduced grip causing skidding. Precautions for tire usage: 1. Avoid curbs to prevent tire compression: Tires can endure significant pressure, which may lead to ruptures, especially in summer when tires are less stable and more prone to bursting; 2. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight: Most commonly used tires contain a high proportion of rubber, which can age and soften under high temperatures. In summer, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight as it may also cause tires to expand and crack, reducing their lifespan; 3. Avoid turning the steering wheel while stationary: Doing so concentrates tire wear on the same contact patch, leading to localized severe wear and shortened service life.

Does the insurance company cover a dead car battery?

It is not covered by the insurance company's policy, and the repair must be paid for out of pocket. Here is some extended information about car batteries: 1. Introduction: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. Their lifespan varies from 1 to 8 years, and their normal service life is closely related to the condition of the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, they can last more than 3 years without issues. 2. Common causes of damage: Mismatch between the size of the terminal post and the clamp head. If installed too loosely, the high starting current, small contact area, or poor contact can easily burn out the terminal post. Excessive charging current. This can cause the active material on the plates to fall off prematurely, shortening the battery's lifespan. Prolonged starting time. This leads to rapid discharge of the battery, causing the plates to bend and the active material to crack.
