You can find the voice prompt option on the navigation map interface, uncheck or cross it out, just locate and operate the speaker-like icon; If you cannot find the option to check/uncheck "Voice Prompts" on the map interface, you can try looking in the "Settings" interface; If you still cannot find the "Voice Prompts" option in the above locations, click into "Settings" and then select "Destination Guidance Settings."

Adjusting the navigation voice in a BMW is actually quite convenient. I often help friends with this. First, start the vehicle and enter the main menu, then locate the settings option and select sound settings. Here, there's a dedicated navigation voice adjustment feature where you can slide to adjust the volume or choose mute mode. If you want to temporarily increase the volume during navigation, simply rotate the volume knob on the center console—this knob automatically switches functions during navigation announcements. I particularly like the different sound effect options in the voice settings; besides the default alert tones, you can also download celebrity voice packs. Using voice control is even simpler—just say "increase navigation volume" to activate the adjustment interface. Remember to set it up before starting navigation, as making changes while driving can be distracting. Additionally, multimedia and navigation volumes are controlled separately, so don’t just adjust the music volume and overlook the navigation voice.

How to Clean Dirty Fabric Seats?

Vigorously beat them like you would when airing out a quilt. Before use, shake the seat cushions a few times and lightly pat them, then use a damp towel to remove the slight surface dust generated during production. When the fabric seats are not very dirty, you can choose to brush them with a long-haired brush or vacuum them. Dip a clean cloth in a small amount of neutral detergent and wipe the entire surface of the seat while it is half-dry and half-wet.

How to Steer When the Rear of the Car Deviates to the Right?

When the vehicle moves to the point where the lower edge of the left rearview mirror touches the control line, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. After turning fully to the right, check the left rearview mirror. When the corner of the parking space appears in the left rearview mirror, straighten the steering wheel. After straightening the steering wheel, reverse until the left front door handle is over the left parking line, then turn the steering wheel fully to the right again. When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror housing is over the front line of the parking space, the rear of the car should be 30 cm away. At this point, you can stop the car.

How to Properly Shift from 3rd Gear to 2nd Gear?

You should be quite familiar with the positions of the gears and the current gear position. For example, the third gear is above the neutral position. Next, observe the speed. Each gear has its own speed range, and the third gear is a transitional gear. When the speed is appropriate, press the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot. Shift the gear from third to neutral. Master the correct hand posture for shifting, grip the gear lever firmly with all five fingers, and then perform the shift.

How to Adjust Valves on a 6-Cylinder Engine?

To adjust the valves, you must know the firing order, such as 1-3-4-2 for a 4-cylinder engine. The exhaust valve clearance should be larger than the intake valve clearance, typically about 0.05 mm larger. For a 6-cylinder engine, rotate the engine 120 degrees each time.
