Open the "CarPlay" application on the desktop through the central control screen, enter the CarPlay main menu, turn on the Bluetooth of your phone, and search for the device starting with "BMW" to connect. Below is relevant information about the BMW 5 Series: 1. Model Positioning: The BMW 5 Series is a mid-to-large luxury sedan under the BMW brand. It is a C-class sedan, competing with models such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6L, and Cadillac CT6. The BMW 5 Series is available in both standard wheelbase and long wheelbase versions, with the long wheelbase version being domestically produced and the standard wheelbase version being imported. 2. Powertrain: The domestically produced BMW 5 Series uses two engines: a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 135 kW and a maximum torque of 290 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 252 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, also paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The 8-speed automatic transmission used in the BMW 5 Series is a product from ZF.

Why is the handbrake light on the car dashboard flashing?

The reasons why the handbrake light on the car dashboard is flashing: 1. Poor contact of the handbrake indicator light on the dashboard, causing the light to flash; 2. Poor contact of the handbrake switch when the handbrake is pulled up; 3. Poor contact of the handbrake light's live wire, or a broken wire harness. Self-inspection methods: 1. Remove the handbrake protective cover; 2. Locate the handbrake switch and inspect it. You can use a multimeter to test the voltage of the red wire; 3. Unplug the wire connector of the handbrake switch. If the light on the dashboard continues to flash, it indicates a problem with the dashboard itself. If the light goes out after unplugging, it means the previous issue was caused by poor contact of the switch.

What is the Principle of Exhaust Braking?

Exhaust Braking Principle: Exhaust braking transforms the engine, originally a power output device, into an air compressor that becomes a power-consuming device. First, when the exhaust brake is activated, the fuel injectors stop spraying fuel, but the engine continues to operate, continuously drawing in fresh air. Simultaneously, the butterfly valve installed in the exhaust system closes, blocking the exhaust manifold, causing the pressure inside the exhaust manifold to reach 4 to 6 atmospheres. At this point, the engine's power source is the inertia force of the coasting vehicle, rather than the energy generated by combustion of the air-fuel mixture. The engine pistons are compressing the high-pressure air in the exhaust pipe, continuously consuming the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle, thereby achieving the goal of slowing down the vehicle.

What engine is in the domestic Jeep Cherokee 2.0?

The all-new Jeep Cherokee is equipped with the same type of GME-T4 2.0T engine as the new Commander and Wrangler, paired with an original imported 8AT transmission. Engine Introduction: An engine (Engine) is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. Engine Function: The car engine is the device that provides power to the vehicle, serving as the heart of the car and an energy conversion device. Its function is to convert the thermal energy of gasoline (diesel) into mechanical energy by burning the expanding gas in a sealed cylinder to push the piston and perform work. Depending on the power source, automotive engines can be classified into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid systems, among others.

What Are the Standards for Automotive Lighting Brightness?

Standard requires that the brightness of low beams should not be less than 1000 lumens, and high beams should not be less than 1450 lumens. Additional information about automotive lighting is as follows: 1. Headlights: The primary purpose of headlights is to illuminate the road and objects ahead to ensure driving safety. They can also use the alternation between high and low beams as a signal for overtaking at night. Headlights are installed on both sides of the front of the vehicle, with either 2 or 4 units per car. The bulb power ranges from 45~60W for high beams to 25~55W for low beams. 2. Fog lights: Fog lights are installed near the headlights or slightly lower. They are used in low visibility conditions such as fog, snow, heavy rain, or dust to illuminate the road and signal to oncoming vehicles. The light is mostly yellow because yellow light has a longer wavelength, providing better penetration through fog. The bulb power is typically 35W.
