BMW seat memory setting method: There is a red set button on the power-adjustable seat, along with buttons 1 and 2, representing two memory positions. After adjusting the seat to the desired position, press the set button, then press 1 or 2 to save the setting. Seat memory refers to the automatic adjustment of memory seats, which can memorize and automatically adjust the front seat positions via control buttons. BMW is a German luxury car brand, with its vehicle lineup including the i, X, Z, and pure numeric 4 series, as well as the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 series, along with the M series, which is based on improvements to these models.

When I first bought my BMW, I spent some time figuring out the seat memory function and found it very practical. The operation is simple: first, sit in the driver's seat, start the vehicle, and park it safely in P mode. Then adjust the seat to the most comfortable position, including the front and rear position, backrest angle, seat height, and even the angle of the exterior rearview mirrors. Once the position is set, find the button marked with an M on the inner door panel and press it. Wait for it to light up, then quickly press a numbered key to save the position, such as key 1. I set two positions: 1 is my daily driving posture, and 2 is a more relaxed position for long-distance driving. For family members, different keys can be set, allowing them to restore their preferred position with just one press without readjusting. This function can also be linked to the key, so when I unlock the car with my key, the seat automatically returns to position 1, which is super convenient. It's important to regularly check the settings to avoid accidental overwrites. Although the steps are simple, they significantly enhance the overall driving experience, especially for families or couples sharing a vehicle.

Will not driving a car frequently have any impact on the car?

Leaving a car unused for a long time can cause the following damages: Oil seal aging: If a car is left unused for an extended period, the oil seal around the contact points will experience uneven pressure distribution. The direction with greater pressure will cause more deformation in the oil seal. The longer the car remains idle, the harder it is for the deformation to recover, eventually leading to permanent deformation of the oil seal, which can easily result in oil leaks. Battery premature failure: The car battery charges while the vehicle is in motion. If the car is left unused for a month, the battery may be damaged and could lose all its charge within that time. For older vehicles, the battery might die within 2-3 weeks. More seriously, prolonged self-discharge of the battery can lead to the formation of sulfides on the electrode plates, affecting the battery's ability to recharge and ultimately causing it to fail prematurely. Tire deformation: When a car is parked, the weight is borne by the parts of the four tires in contact with the ground, causing these contact areas to compress and deform. The longer the car remains stationary, the harder it is for the deformed areas to recover. This changes the weight distribution around the tires, resulting in uneven rolling radii and unbalanced tires. Once the car is driven at high speeds, this can cause body vibrations, accelerate tire wear, and even pose safety risks.

Can You Drive on the Highway with a Tire Pressure of 200?

Tire pressure of 200 is not suitable for highway driving. The standard tire pressure ranges from 2.4 to 2.5 bar; reinforced tires require 2.8 to 2.9 bar; the maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and prone to deviation, among other factors detrimental to driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, resulting in abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim causing damage to the tire bead area and abnormal wear. Hazards of High Tire Pressure: Reduces tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening its lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components.

What Types of Car Insurance Should You Buy?

Car insurance mainly includes two types: compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory by the state, while commercial insurance is optional for car owners. Commercial insurance includes liability insurance, third-party insurance, water damage insurance, and theft insurance. Introduction to Compulsory Traffic Insurance: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is 'Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicles.' It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, deaths, or property losses (excluding the vehicle's occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. Necessity of Compulsory Traffic Insurance: Compulsory traffic insurance ensures that victims of motor vehicle road traffic accidents receive compensation and promotes road traffic safety. It provides timely and basic protection for victims of traffic accidents.

What Does New Energy Penetration Rate Mean?

New energy penetration rate refers to the degree of adoption of a new technological product within a population. Currently, the new energy penetration rate stands at 13.7%, showing significant progress compared to historical data. Introduction to New Energy Vehicles: New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that utilize unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new onboard power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving systems, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and innovative structures. Classification of New Energy Vehicles: New energy vehicles include: hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), battery electric vehicles (BEV), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), hydrogen engine vehicles, as well as gas-powered vehicles, alcohol ether vehicles, and more.

What Type of Air to Use for Defogging Car Windows in Winter Rainy Days?

When driving in winter rainy days, use cold air to defog the windows. Principle of Cold Air Defogging: The most common method to deal with fogged windshields while driving in the rain is to turn on the air conditioner and direct the airflow to the front windshield. The cold air quickly disperses the fog on the glass, providing fast and direct results. This happens because the cold air creates a "cold air film" on the glass surface, preventing carbon dioxide from condensing on the glass, thus achieving the defogging effect. Why Not Use Hot Air in Winter: Hot air can also defog, but if used to defog the front windshield on a rainy day, it can actually worsen the fogging. Right after turning on the hot air, the front windshield may immediately become like "frosted glass." Therefore, if you are driving and the windows fog up due to rain, you should not use hot air for defogging.

Can the Electronic Version of the Vehicle License Be Used?

Electronic version of the vehicle license cannot be used. The electronic vehicle license cannot fully replace the physical vehicle license. Electronic vehicle license is not implemented nationwide: First, the electronic vehicle license has not been implemented nationwide, which means it can only be used in limited areas. For example, in Guangzhou and Chongqing, the electronic vehicle license can only be used within the respective city. When a vehicle travels outside the designated province or city, it is still required to comply with the "Road Traffic Safety Law," which mandates that drivers must carry both the driver's license and the physical vehicle license when driving on the road. Original vehicle license is required for handling matters: If a vehicle is involved in a traffic accident or other violations, and the driver needs to confirm the violation through surveillance footage at the traffic police station, or if the driver needs to handle related driving management services, permits, etc., the original vehicle license must still be presented according to the relevant procedures. Therefore, the electronic vehicle license cannot fully replace the physical vehicle license.
