When driving my BMW 5 Series in winter, I frequently operate the heating system. The steps are simple: After starting the vehicle, locate the air conditioning control area on the center console. The large round knob turns left for cooling and right for heating—rotating it to the right increases the temperature setting, for example, to 24 degrees or above. The system has an automatic mode; pressing the AUTO button will automatically adjust the fan speed and airflow direction based on the interior environment, and warm air will be delivered. If not using automatic mode, manually pressing the fan button to increase the airflow will speed up the process. As a long-time owner, I also recommend adjusting the air circulation—using the fresh air mode in winter prevents window fogging caused by interior humidity, ensuring both driving safety and comfort. Regularly replacing the cabin air filter maintains heating efficiency and air quality, keeping you warm and at ease throughout your drive.

Handle Violations First or Renew the License First?

First, you must handle the violations before applying for license renewal. When renewing a driver's license, it is not allowed to have any outstanding violations or unpaid fines. All violations must be settled, and fines must be paid before the license can be renewed. If you have outstanding violations and need to renew your license, please first visit the traffic enforcement station of the local police branch to handle the violations, pay the fines at the bank, and then proceed to the relevant license renewal office to complete the renewal process. Documents required for license renewal: Bring two copies of your ID card, two recent 1-inch color passport photos without headwear, the original ID card, the original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or higher hospital (free medical examinations are also available at the vehicle management office). License renewal process: The driver submits the required documents to the vehicle management office where the driver's license was originally issued. The vehicle management office will process the renewal within one working day after verifying the documents.

How much cheaper is 92 gasoline compared to 95 gasoline?

92-octane gasoline is cheaper than 95-octane gasoline, but only by a few cents. Here are more related details: 1. The difference between the two: The most obvious difference between these two types of gasoline is the ratio of n-heptane and isooctane. 92-octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95-octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. From this, it can be seen that 95-octane gasoline has a higher isooctane content and better anti-knock performance. 2. Avoid frequently switching between different octane ratings: Frequent switching of gasoline octane ratings by car owners can confuse the engine's ignition system. In practice, car owners should not frequently change gasoline octane ratings. If they choose 92 or 95, they should stick with it consistently. If they want to switch gasoline types, they should stick with the chosen type for a long time. Additionally, mixing gasoline types is highly discouraged, as it can confuse the engine.

What does car idle speed mean?

The idle speed of a car refers to an operating condition where the engine runs without any load, meaning the car's gear is in neutral. Introduction to car idle speed: The engine speed during idle is called the idle speed. The idle speed can be adjusted by changing the throttle opening size and other methods. Idle speed means the engine is "running without doing work." When the engine is running, if the accelerator pedal is fully released, the engine is in idle condition. When adjusting the idle speed, the RPM should not fluctuate abruptly, as this may cause premature wear to the engine. It is best to have the adjustment performed at an automotive repair facility.

When starting the engine with the vehicle in a parked state, the minimum stable engine speed is called parking idle speed (the process of the engine transitioning from a cold idle state to an idle state at normal operating temperature is called warm-up or heating).
