Turning off the air conditioning in a BMW 5 Series is actually quite simple—I learned it through hands-on exploration. From the driver's seat, locate the buttons on the center console and find the one with a snowflake icon—that's the AC switch, labeled 'AC' or similar. A gentle press turns off the light, deactivating the compressor while the fan can still blow natural air. If you're using the iDrive screen, navigate to the climate menu and slide to switch the AC off. I prefer turning it off during traffic jams—it saves fuel (cutting long-distance consumption by up to 10%) and reduces musty odors from the system. After switching off the AC, running the car with external circulation for a few minutes refreshes cabin air noticeably. Once on a summer road trip, I kept forgetting to turn it off, leading to rapid fuel drain and humidity buildup. Now, making it a habit has significantly improved my driving experience. This method suits all road conditions, keeping the car running efficiently.

What to Do If the Driving License Training Time Card Is Lost?

If the driving license training time card is lost, it needs to be reissued by the relevant department. The following are the precautions for reissuing a driving license: 1. If the reissuance is successful but the new license has not been received, the original license cannot be used to drive a motor vehicle: If the driving license reissuance application is accepted, but due to time constraints, the new license is not received on the same day, driving is not allowed during this "gap period" until the new license is obtained. Otherwise, it will be considered as driving without a license. 2. After obtaining a new license, the original driving license becomes invalid: If the driving license is lost and a new one is reissued, even if the original license is found later, it will be considered invalid, and the new license should be used as the valid document.

How to Check the Water Temperature Gauge on a BMW 5 Series?

You can directly view it through the water temperature sensor or indirectly judge it via the oil temperature gauge. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The BMW 5 Series produced by Brilliance does not have a water temperature gauge; it will only issue an alarm when the water temperature is too high. However, it is equipped with a water temperature sensor, and the small LCD display hides the water temperature reading. If you don't know how to read it, you can also infer the water temperature from the oil temperature. Many cars have a water temperature gauge on the dashboard to display the real-time water temperature condition of the car, allowing the driver to determine if the engine is functioning normally based on the water temperature reading. However, a few cars, such as the aforementioned BMW 5 Series, do not have an obvious water temperature gauge, making it quite troublesome to determine the water temperature. 2. Generally, the oil temperature is 15-20 degrees higher than the water temperature. Normal oil temperature ranges between 115-125 degrees, so the water temperature would be between 100-105 degrees. Additionally, even though the vehicle lacks a water temperature gauge, it will still issue a warning if the water temperature is too high, so owners need not worry excessively about the absence of a water temperature gauge. If a warning is issued due to excessively high water temperature, it might be due to insufficient coolant, a malfunctioning cooling system, or a faulty circulation water pump. The water temperature gauge reflects the condition of the engine, and any faults should be promptly addressed and repaired.

Why is the tire pressure low in a new car?

New cars may experience low tire pressure due to the following reasons: The vehicle has been parked for an extended period, causing the tire pressure to decrease. When a car leaves the factory, the tire pressure is typically set closer to the upper limit of the safe range. However, as the car remains stationary over time, the tire pressure will naturally drop. Some manufacturers intentionally lower the tire pressure to prevent excessively high speeds. Since it's a new car, even experienced drivers need an adaptation period. During this time, reducing the tire pressure slightly helps prevent potential traffic hazards caused by high speeds. Tire damage. Although rare in new cars, it's not impossible. There might be an issue with the tires from the factory, or the tires could have been punctured during use. When the low tire pressure warning activates in a new car, it's essential to thoroughly inspect the tires for any damage. Reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Generally, the system will issue a warning if the pressure falls below 1.8 bar or exceeds 3.0 bar. In such cases, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. The tire pressure monitoring system hasn't been reset. After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset isn't performed promptly, the monitoring system will continue to display the previous data, causing the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving (e.g., by hitting a curb), it can trigger the tire pressure warning light. In case of sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.

What to Do When Car Windows Fog Up in the Rain?

Methods to prevent car windows from fogging up on rainy days: 1. Proper use of the air conditioning system: Park the car, turn on the AC, adjust the temperature control to the warm air setting, then press the defrost button to dry the windshield with warm air. For faster defogging, switch the AC to external circulation to allow fresh air into the cabin, and set the compressor and fan speed to 25°C or higher. 2. Use specialized anti-fog products: Spray evenly on the windows and wipe clean before each use to form a transparent protective film that prevents fogging. 3. Open windows for air convection: If the fogging is minor, slightly open the side windows to allow air flow, balancing the interior and exterior temperatures to disperse the fog. 4. Clean with detergent and a dry cloth: Mix water with detergent (ratio 1:6), apply evenly on the interior glass with a sponge, let it air dry, then wipe clean with a towel to avoid watermarks. This method typically keeps windows fog-free for up to 20 hours.

What are the symptoms of a faulty steering column in a car?

When the steering column in a car is faulty, the following symptoms may occur: 1. Difficulty in controlling the vehicle: The steering may easily deviate or drift, making it hard to steer the vehicle. The owner should immediately take the car to a repair shop for inspection and, if necessary, replacement. 2. The steering shaft is the transmission component connecting the steering wheel and the steering gear: The steering column is fixed to the car body, and the steering shaft passes through the steering column, supported by bearings and bushings inside the column. In the event of a collision, the steering column and steering shaft at the front of the car will move backward, while the driver, affected by inertia, will be propelled toward the steering wheel. Part of the energy is absorbed by the restraint system, and another part is transmitted to the steering wheel and steering column. A good automotive steering system should minimize the driver's injuries in the event of a collision.

Puncture Repair or Replacement?

Whether to repair or replace a punctured tire depends on the specific situation. The relevant guidelines are as follows: 1. In general, if the tire is punctured by a nail or wire: and there is no extensive damage to the internal structure of the tire, with the steel wires and fabric layers in the tire ply remaining intact, and only a small hole is present, then repairing the tire is sufficient. Typically, such small holes can be fixed using an internal patch repair method. For slightly larger holes, a mushroom plug repair can be used. However, if the puncture diameter reaches or exceeds 6mm, it is advisable to replace the tire with a new one. 2. If the tire is scratched during skidding: resulting in a long wound, the depth of the wound should be assessed. Generally, if the depth does not exceed the tread groove depth, the tire can be used temporarily. However, sometimes the depth of the wound may not be visible to the naked eye. In such cases, it is best to have it inspected at a professional shop. If the internal structure of the tire is damaged, it is recommended to replace the tire with a new one.
