BMW paddle shifter usage is as follows: 1. First, place the gear lever in manual mode, then you can use the paddle shifters to change gears when the engine speed is appropriate, freely switching to the desired gear. 2. Both paddle shifters have the same function: lifting towards the driver with the index and middle fingers increases the gear; pressing down towards the steering wheel decreases the gear. Below are characteristics of BMW's 8AT transmission manual mode: 1. When vehicle speed and engine speed are too low, the transmission will automatically downshift to bring the engine speed up to a reasonable range. 2. Drivers should note that the transmission will not automatically upshift when the engine speed is too high.

What causes the abnormal noise after braking?

The reasons for abnormal noise after braking are: 1. Metal hard spots on brake pads: Small metal particles on the brake pads can produce a sharp noise when braking. Try slamming the brakes a few times or sanding/replacing the brake pads; 2. Severely worn brake discs: After prolonged use, deep grooves may form on the brake discs where the pads make contact, causing noise during braking; 3. Small stones or water film between the brake disc and pad: If driving on gravel roads, in sandy conditions, or right after washing the car, check for and remove any small stones or press the brakes several times to eliminate the water film.

Does the 48V Mild Hybrid System Belong to New Energy?

48V mild hybrid vehicles are not classified as new energy vehicles. Below are relevant extended contents: Introduction to 48V Mild Hybrid Vehicles: 48V mild hybrid vehicles cannot operate purely on electric power. They function by increasing the standard voltage of vehicle equipment to 48V, enabling the support of higher-power onboard systems. This allows better integration with other vehicle systems and optimizes engine start-stop, acceleration, and braking conditions. Introduction to New Energy Vehicles: These are vehicles that use fuel sources other than gasoline or diesel as their power source. They are categorized into: hybrid electric vehicles, which use both conventional and unconventional fuel sources; pure electric vehicles, which rely solely on electric motors for power; and fuel cell electric vehicles, which use hydrogen fuel as their power source.
