When reversing into a parking space, turn the steering wheel fully to the right when the right rearview mirror of your vehicle aligns horizontally with the front vehicle's pillar. Continue reversing until your car forms a 45-degree angle with the front vehicle, then turn the steering wheel fully to the left to smoothly park the vehicle into the space. If there is a slight misalignment after entering the parking space, adjust the position by moving forward or backward. Depending on the direction the rear of the car needs to move, use your left hand to turn the steering wheel: if the rear needs to move to the right rear, turn the steering wheel to the right; conversely, turn it to the left. In fact, this is consistent with the steering when driving forward. Remembering this will prevent you from turning the wrong direction and becoming flustered. Before reversing, check the situation behind the car, estimate the reversing path, and ensure the front of the car won't hit any obstacles. Try not to press the accelerator while reversing and control the speed to avoid going too fast.

Why Did Bayerische Motoren Werke Change Its Name to BMW?

Bayerische Motoren Werke was actually the original name when BMW first entered China, dating back to the 1990s. Initially, a transliteration approach was used, directly translating BMW into Bayerische Motoren Werke. The name "BMW" was a Hong Kong designation, with a very fitting and easily memorable meaning in Chinese. Therefore, starting from 1992, the mainland has also adopted this name to this day. Mercedes-Benz Name Change: The earliest Chinese name for Mercedes-Benz was also a direct translation, called "Mo Xie Tai Si Ben Ci" in Mandarin, which in Cantonese was described as "long and smelly"—not only was the name lengthy and hard to remember, but it also lacked grandeur. In Mandarin, it even sounded like "stupid to death." Later, it was renamed to Mercedes-Benz, where "Benz" immediately conveys the image of a fast-running car, full of grandeur, as if speeding down the road. Porsche Name Change: As many know, Porsche is colloquially called "Bo Zi" in Hong Kong. However, when it first entered the mainland, it was directly translated as "Bo Er She," which was very awkward to pronounce and carried no sense of prestige. In fact, Porsche is also a Cantonese transliteration by Hong Kong people, but compared to "Bo Er She," it is much more pleasant to the ear. Moreover, the characters "Bao" and "Jie" in the name carry auspicious meanings, and this name has been used ever since.

Is the Issue of BMW Cars Stalling After Wading Serious?

BMW cars stalling after wading is not a very serious issue, but you should not attempt to restart the engine after stalling. Below is more information about vehicle wading: If the water level reaches two-thirds of the tire height, you should not continue wading. Instead, slow down or stop to observe. Once the water level reaches the bumper or two-thirds of the tire height, continuing to drive through water poses certain risks. High speed will increase the actual wading depth of the car, causing rainwater to enter the cabin from the engine compartment or chassis. Avoid driving against waves from large vehicles. If observation shows the water level is high, try to detour and never force your way through. When wading during driving, maintain a low speed and drive through steadily: Do not stop, shift gears, release the throttle, or accelerate. You should pass through at a low gear with medium to high throttle steadily, rather than speeding through and splashing large waves or water. The wading standards for cars vary by model. Sedans have a wading depth of 20-30 cm, SUVs 30-60 cm, and hardcore off-road vehicles can reach 70-100 cm. Generally, as long as the water surface does not exceed the height of the engine intake, there shouldn't be any major issues. If the car doesn't stall while passing through water, the engine won't be affected. Only automatic stalling and breakdown will have an impact. After passing through deep water, it usually causes short circuits, poor contact, engine water ingress, body rust, fabric and sound insulation layers to mold, etc. Therefore, after wading, open the hood, all four doors, and the trunk to air them out and avoid moisture erosion. Inspect everything carefully.

Where to Switch the Fuel Consumption Display on BMW 3 Series?

BMW 3 Series fuel consumption is displayed on the dashboard. The BMW 3 Series 320i M Sport Package has a MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.2L/100km, but actual fuel consumption may vary by up to 10% depending on individual driving skills and habits. Bad Driving Habits: In daily driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, it's common to see this phenomenon: as soon as a gap appears in the adjacent lane, a car suddenly accelerates to squeeze in, only to have to brake immediately. Later, when a gap appears in the original lane, the driver steps on the gas to squeeze back. By the time the traffic light changes, the car may have accelerated and braked sharply four or five times. This may look cool, impressive, and full of energy, but the cost is a significant increase in fuel consumption. Increase in Fuel Consumption: Experts have conducted acceleration fuel consumption tests: after the vehicle enters the test section at a constant speed, the test driver floors the accelerator to complete the specified distance. The results show that fuel consumption increases by 2-3 times compared to driving at a constant speed.

Which Honda models are equipped with particulate filters?

Some Honda models are equipped with particulate filters. All turbocharged (TURBO) models have particulate filters installed. Since these are turbocharged engines, installing a particulate filter is necessary to meet the National VI (China 6) emission standards. Some models with naturally aspirated engines do not require particulate filters, as they can more easily meet the National VI emission standards. If your vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter, please note the following: Use low-ash engine oil. During the particulate filter regeneration process, much of the ash cannot be burned. The ash produced by burning engine oil enters the particulate filter and is difficult to burn off during regeneration. Prolonged use of high-ash engine oil will accelerate particulate filter clogging, requiring removal and cleaning of the filter, which increases maintenance costs. Use high-quality fuel, which contains lower levels of sulfur, phosphorus, and impurities, to prevent particulate filter clogging. Learn the regeneration method for the particulate filter. This is very important. Increase the vehicle speed to over 80 km/h, then release the accelerator and let the vehicle coast for a while. During this time, the engine does not inject fuel, and oxygen does not participate in combustion but directly enters the particulate filter, increasing the oxygen supply and raising the filter's temperature. This burns off the tiny solid emissions in the particulate filter. Repeating this process several times will successfully regenerate the particulate filter.
