With its excellent performance and technological advantages, the Michelin Pilot Preceda PP2 high-performance sports tires have recently become the original equipment tires for the premium midsize SUV Audi Q5. This car perfectly combines the body design of a sports sedan, efficient power and responsive handling, the off-road safety and performance of an SUV, and the outstanding comfort and flexible interior space of a station wagon, inheriting many of the advantages of the third-generation top-tier SUV Audi Q7.

I've been driving an Audi Q5 for several years, and setting the automatic folding of the side mirrors is quite convenient. It's usually done through the MMI system on the car's central console: after starting the car or turning on the power, click the settings button in the main menu, find the vehicle settings option, then select the external equipment or lights & mirrors section, and enable the auto-folding function when locking the car. There might be slight variations in the settings for different model years of the Q5. For example, my 2020 model can be operated directly on the screen, while older models before 2015 might require holding the lock button on the key fob for 3 seconds to trigger the function. Remember to consult the owner's manual or visit an authorized dealer for specific procedures. Automatic folding is very practical in crowded parking spaces, preventing the mirrors from being scratched or bumped. The automatic retraction when locking the car also enhances anti-theft security. If the setting doesn't work, check if the mirror system is receiving power properly, and perform regular maintenance to avoid jamming. For city driving, I also like to combine it with the automatic downward tilt function of the mirrors when reversing, which provides a safer view.

If you're new to the Audi Q5, setting up the automatic mirror folding feature is actually quite simple: After entering the car, open the settings menu in the central control system, navigate to the vehicle settings section, select the exterior mirrors option, and toggle the automatic folding switch. For my 2018 Q5, the entire process takes just 2 minutes on the screen and can be done without starting the engine. Different trim levels may have varying methods - for example, the Premium Plus version activates automatically via key lock, while the base model uses a button on the door handle. If unsure, consult the official website guide. This feature proves particularly thoughtful when parking in tight garages, preventing mirror scratches while also offering moisture protection during rainy weather. Before setup, ensure your battery has sufficient charge to avoid malfunction. During normal driving, folded mirrors additionally reduce wind resistance, helping save some fuel costs.

From a regular driver's perspective, here's how to set up the automatic folding for Audi Q5 side mirrors: After getting in the car, directly navigate to the settings menu on the central control screen, select the vehicle option, then look for the external equipment section, and simply toggle on the automatic mirror folding switch. For example, my car is a standard configuration, and after setting it up, the mirrors automatically fold when locking the car. Details may vary across different models, such as some newer versions integrating this feature into key operations. It's straightforward and easy for beginners to get the hang of quickly. Automatic folding protects the mirrors from being knocked off, especially in tight parking spaces. If the setup fails, try checking if the system settings are being interfered with.

What Needs to Be Replaced During the First Maintenance?

The first maintenance of a car requires the replacement of engine oil and the oil filter. In addition, it includes checking the vehicle's electrical equipment, lights, horn, and wipers, inspecting the vehicle's shock absorption system, as well as the tire pressure and usage. More information about the first maintenance of a car is as follows: 1. The first maintenance has two indicators: time and mileage, whichever comes first. Exceeding either one will affect the warranty. According to the manufacturer's explicit regulations, the first maintenance is a free service provided by the 4S shop. If the first maintenance date is exceeded, it will be regarded as voluntarily giving up the right to the first maintenance. If the first maintenance is not performed, any future quality issues with the car will not be covered by the warranty. Therefore, it is reminded to all car owners not to miss the first maintenance deadline. When the first maintenance is approaching, it is recommended that the owner must make an appointment in advance by phone to avoid long waiting times. At this time, the owner is reminded to bring the relevant documents; 2. The first maintenance mileage varies for different brands of cars. The difference in the first maintenance mileage is due to the varying technical levels of different car manufacturers. New car engines have a break-in period, and cars of different makes, brands, or even models are equipped with engines of different technical levels. Some engines have better materials and higher precision, resulting in relatively less wear, while others have higher requirements for engine oil, thus leading to inconsistencies in maintenance time and mileage.

Why is there a gasoline smell inside the car?

There are several reasons for a gasoline smell inside the car: 1. Aging rubber pipes in the gasoline purification carbon canister. In older vehicles, rubber components in the engine compartment are prone to aging and leakage into the engine bay, requiring timely replacement of the rubber pipes; 2. Leakage at the gasoline pipe interface. The gasoline smell enters the car through the air conditioning system. This can be identified by opening the engine hood and observing a layer of oily residue on the surface, which requires tightening or repair; 3. Poor sealing after disassembling the gasoline pump. This can be caused by replacing the gasoline pump or failing to clean residual substances after disassembly; 4. Overfilling the fuel tank. If gasoline enters the pipes of the activated carbon canister system, it can cause the car to stall after refueling and eventually fail to start.
