Setting up the jack mode on the BMW X5 is actually quite simple, and I do it frequently myself. First, make sure the car is parked on level ground—safety comes first. Turn the key to the accessory position (ACC) without starting the engine. Then, navigate to the iDrive system, enter the 'My Vehicle' settings menu by clicking the menu button. Scroll down to find the maintenance or special options section, where you'll see 'Jack Mode' or 'Lift Mode.' Click to activate it. After the system prompts for confirmation, the air suspension will be locked to prevent automatic height adjustments that could damage components during lifting. Remember to deactivate the mode afterward: turn the ignition back on, select to turn it off, and then start the car—otherwise, the suspension might not function properly. Beginners should refer to the owner's manual or consult dealership staff. The setup process takes at most two to three minutes, so don’t skip details to save time. If you encounter issues like iDrive freezing, try restarting the system or checking the battery status.

Why does the oil change reminder appear shortly after an oil change?

The reason the oil change reminder appears shortly after an oil change is that the vehicle's maintenance reminder was not reset promptly after the oil change. In such cases, it is necessary to visit a 4S shop to use a fault diagnostic tool to clear the maintenance reminder light and reset the maintenance mileage. Manual reset method for the vehicle maintenance indicator light: 1. Turn on the vehicle's ignition switch, hold down the reset button, and then turn off the ignition switch; 2. While holding the reset button, wait until the clock and mileage on the dashboard completely disappear and the screen goes black before releasing the button; 3. Continue holding the reset button and turn the ignition switch back on. Hold the reset button until the maintenance reminder stops flashing, then release the button.

What brand is the pure electric vehicle Velite 7?

Velite 7 is a compact SUV under SAIC-GM Buick. Below are the advantages of Velite 7: 1. Energy recovery system: Many pure electric vehicles still have a significant gap between actual range and labeled range, but the Buick Velite 7 performs relatively well. With a labeled range of 500 kilometers, it occasionally exceeds this figure during medium-to-high-speed cruising. Considering air conditioning and traffic congestion at low-to-medium speeds, the actual experience is around 450 kilometers. The reason Velite 7 can achieve such low energy consumption, apart from overall vehicle efficiency, is largely due to its energy recovery system. 2. High efficiency: As a long-established major automaker, Velite 7 does not have this issue. While tuning the brake pedal feel to be as close as possible to that of traditional fuel vehicles, it maximizes the high efficiency brought by the energy braking recovery system. Behind this lies not only technology but also heritage—the heritage of driving experience.

Is it okay to leave the car in N gear for long-term parking in place?

It is not advisable to leave the car in N gear for long-term parking in place. The N gear does not have a locking mechanism. When the N gear is engaged, neither the transmission gears nor the wheels are locked. Without applying the handbrake, the car can still move. Prolonged coasting in N gear over long distances may directly lead to transmission failure. For short-term parking without turning off the engine, you can engage the N gear. However, if you intend to park and turn off the engine, you should shift to P gear. The P gear is equipped with a locking mechanism that secures the transmission gears, effectively locking the wheels indirectly. Without applying the handbrake, the car cannot move when in P gear. Before shifting to P gear, always ensure the car has come to a complete stop. Maintaining proper usage habits in daily driving can help extend the lifespan of the automatic transmission.
