Check and confirm whether the tire pressure is normal. If there is a problem, adjust it to the standard tire pressure, then drive a few kilometers on the road. Generally, the computer will automatically correct and reset at this time. If the tire pressure is confirmed to be normal, go to a car service shop to check the tire pressure sensor and clear the fault code. Find the setting button on the central console for manual reset, usually by pressing the SET button.

After driving a BMW 325 for over two years, I frequently encounter tire pressure warnings. The simplest solution is to first exit the vehicle and check the pressure of all four tires using a pressure gauge—the recommended values (e.g., 2.5 bar front, 2.6 bar rear) are listed on the door frame label. Once adjusted, start the car without engaging the engine, navigate to the 'Vehicle Information' menu via the iDrive knob, select 'Tire Settings,' and click 'Reset Tire Pressure Monitoring.' Drive a few kilometers, and the system will automatically recalibrate. If the warning persists, there may be a leak or sensor issue—visit a 4S shop for inspection. Low tire pressure not only increases fuel consumption but also raises the risk of a blowout, especially at high speeds, so don’t take it lightly. Personally, I manually check the pressure every quarter to save money and stay worry-free.

Every time the tire pressure warning alarm goes off, I get quite nervous. As a mom, I pay extra attention to safety. I'll first find a flat spot to park, then use a mobile app or a small shop's pressure gauge to check each tire—the target values are posted on the driver's door. Once everything's normal, I'll start the car in "power on" mode, navigate to the "vehicle settings" via the dashboard knob, find the "tire" option, and click reset. After driving for a while, it will update. In winter, alarms often go off due to temperature changes, so keeping a portable air pump at home is convenient. Incorrect tire pressure leads to faster wear and expensive repairs. I recommend beginners invest in a digital pressure gauge—it saves a lot of money. Developing this habit helps avoid the annoyance of frequent alarms.

Hey buddy, as a newbie driving a 325, tire pressure warnings are no big deal. Start the car in power mode (don't press the accelerator), navigate to 'Driver Support' on the center screen, select 'Tire Monitoring', and hit reset. After completion, drive a bit for self-check and the warning light will go off. If it stays on, check tire pressure or for punctures immediately—might be a nail leak. A Bluetooth tire pressure gauge is super handy for real-time monitoring. If warnings are frequent, replace the sensor before trouble strikes. Saves fuel and extends tire life—why not go for it?

What maintenance items are required at 45,000 kilometers?

Here is a detailed introduction to the maintenance items at 45,000 kilometers: 1. Replace the air filter: After the car has traveled 30,000 kilometers, the air filter will accumulate a significant amount of dust and oil stains. Moreover, the performance of the air filter will be greatly affected at this mileage. Therefore, it is advisable to replace it to ensure optimal performance. 2. Replace the cabin air filter: The cabin air filter contains activated carbon, which can adsorb fine particles. However, the activated carbon gradually diminishes over time and with usage frequency. A dirty cabin air filter can lead to reduced cooling efficiency and unpleasant odors. 3. Clean the throttle body: The responsiveness of the car's acceleration is closely related to the cleanliness of the throttle body. During the operation of an electronic fuel injection engine, a small portion of the combustion byproducts in the cylinders can form carbon deposits at the throttle body through the intake valves and intake pipes. Over time, these deposits accumulate and form dirt, increasing the resistance of the throttle body's operation and causing issues such as unstable engine idling. Hence, regular cleaning of the throttle body is necessary. 4. Replace the coolant: Generally, it is recommended to replace the coolant every 20,000 kilometers or once a year. This helps to raise the boiling point, prevent scale and rust formation, enhance cooling efficiency, lubricate the water pump, and avoid or eliminate engine damage caused by instant high temperatures due to air bubbles.

What to Do When the Car Windows Fog Up? Which Button to Press?

Warm air can achieve the defogging effect, but it has a drawback: it works slowly. It is recommended to pull over first. There is usually a rear window defogger switch on the dashboard. Turn on the switch, and the heating wires on the rear window will heat the glass, thereby achieving the defogging effect.

Do I still need to handle traffic violations if the car is no longer in use?

Traffic violations need to be handled even if the car is no longer in use. After a violation, demerit points are recorded on the driver's license. Even if you abandon the car and do not handle the violations, the traffic police have the authority to impose administrative compulsory penalties, including detaining the vehicle owner, forcibly confiscating and auctioning the vehicle to offset fines, and revoking the driver's license. The following are the consequences of not handling traffic violations: 1. Late fees penalty: If you are stopped by traffic police on the spot and issued a fine ticket with your vehicle and driver's license, and you fail to handle it within 15 days, late fees will be imposed without additional demerit points. The late fee is 3% per day, with a maximum not exceeding the original fine amount. 2. License and vehicle seizure: If you have more than three unhandled violations and are caught driving by traffic police, your driver's license will be suspended, and in severe cases, your vehicle may be impounded. If you have more than 10 unhandled traffic violations, the traffic management department of the public security authority can legally impound your vehicle. 3. Inability to pass vehicle inspection: If violations are not handled, the vehicle will not pass annual, quarterly, or comprehensive inspections. If violations are not resolved before the inspection, the vehicle will fail the inspection. The inspection date is usually marked on the vehicle registration certificate, and inspections can generally be conducted up to three months in advance.

What to Do When Water Enters the Car?

When the car is flooded, do not attempt to start it, as this can easily cause damage to electronic components due to power supply. After the car is flooded, shift the gear to neutral. This way, when towing, there's no need to start the car, preventing damage during startup. After the car is flooded, promptly notify a towing company to come and tow the vehicle. Avoid leaving the car submerged in water for extended periods, which can lead to the failure of car parts and render them unusable. After the car is flooded, remove all items from inside the car to prevent damage or loss due to water exposure, especially valuable items or car accessories.
