Press the brake pedal of the BMW 523 to prepare for turning on the vehicle's power. Press the start-stop button of the BMW 523. The BMW's dashboard lights up, and the vehicle's power is turned on.

I happened to research BMW's automatic steering wheel adjustment feature this week. Officially called the Comfort Access system, it retracts the steering wheel when parking and turning off the engine for easier entry/exit. To disable it: First, without pressing the brake pedal, press the ENGINE START/STOP button three times to enter power mode. Then hold the steering wheel adjustment button (left side) to its lowest position until you hear a beep. Next, go to the iDrive screen: My Vehicle -> Door/Key -> Comfort Access, and disable the steering wheel adjustment option. Pro tip: After disabling, it's best to resave your seat memory position - this prevents automatic adjustment during future startups.

As a half-technician who often helps friends adjust BMW settings, the automatic steering wheel adjustment is actually one of the convenience features in the vehicle. Locate the adjustment lever with the steering wheel icon on the driver's side door panel or below the seat memory buttons on the center console. First, turn on the power without pressing the brake, push the steering wheel to the lowest position and hold for 10 seconds until a beep sounds. The most crucial step is operating in the electronic system: enter the iDrive menu, select Vehicle Settings - Comfort Features - Steering Wheel Linkage, and disable the corresponding option. Note that some newer BMW models also hide this switch in the steering wheel custom button settings.

How to Set Up the Auto-Folding Mirror Function?

To enable the auto-folding mirror function, the button is usually located on the door panel on the driver's side or on the center console. Once found, simply turn it on. The position may vary depending on the car model, but this feature is typically enabled by default. Rearview mirrors are categorized into interior rearview mirrors, exterior rearview mirrors, and downward-view mirrors: 1. Interior Rearview Mirror: The interior rearview mirror allows the driver to check the rear view without significantly altering their forward line of sight. 2. Exterior Rearview Mirror: Passenger vehicles usually mount the exterior rearview mirrors on the doors. In Japan, some vehicles also mount them on the fenders. 3. Downward-View Mirror: This mirror enables the driver to see areas beneath the car body, beyond the front and rear wheels, from the driver's seat. It helps the driver detect people or obstacles near the wheels or the car body when reversing or starting forward, preventing injuries, damage to objects or the vehicle, and ensuring convenience and safety for the driver.

Why does the Buick Regal feel sluggish when stepping on the accelerator?

The detailed explanation for why the Buick Regal feels sluggish when stepping on the accelerator is as follows: 1. Fuel quality does not match the car: If the fuel quality is incompatible with the car, it will inevitably result in insufficient power. 2. Insufficient tire pressure: If the tire pressure is too low or even flat, the car will definitely be difficult to drive. This situation is usually easy to identify, as you can visually check whether the tire pressure is adequate. 3. Issues with the intake system: The engine's power output is generated by the ignition of a mixture of gasoline and air. If there are problems with the intake system, it will inevitably lead to reduced engine power output. 4. Fuel system malfunction: A fuel system malfunction means that fuel is not being delivered through the fuel line to the combustion chamber, preventing the engine from operating normally. If the amount of gasoline entering the engine's combustion chamber does not meet the standard, the combustion chamber will not have enough fuel to ignite and generate power, leading to a gradual decrease in the car's performance. This is also an aspect that requires attention.
