BMW headlight cleaning system usage method: First, turn on the car's low beam headlights, then press and hold the turn signal lever forward to activate the high beams. Press the windshield wiper control lever toward the steering wheel for about five seconds. The BMW headlight cleaning system is located directly below the headlights, where there is a water outlet, similar to a windshield wiper, which can be used at any time to clean dust and dirt from the headlights. BMW is a German automotive brand, part of the BMW Group, which includes the i, X, Z, and pure number 4 model lines, as well as the 1, 2, 3 series and the M series (BMW's official high-performance modification division) based on improvements to these series.

As a BMW owner who frequently drives in the countryside, I really appreciate the headlight cleaning feature, especially after rain when the headlights get covered in mud splashes on muddy roads. It's very practical. The operation is simple: after getting in the car and starting the engine, just turn on the headlights or keep the automatic headlights on. Then, go to the wiper control stalk next to the steering wheel and press the end button to spray washer fluid for the windshield—the headlight cleaning system will automatically activate and spray cleaning fluid to clean the headlights. The whole process is seamless, requiring no additional settings, and the nozzles work quickly to remove dirt. I recommend using it when the weather turns bad or during long drives, as it significantly improves nighttime visibility for safer driving. However, don't overuse it to avoid depleting the washer fluid too early. Regularly check the reservoir level and top it up with BMW-specific fluid to prevent corrosion of the headlight covers.

How to Deal with Continuous Central Lock Alarm?

You can adjust the sensitivity of the anti-theft device on its control box, which is usually installed under the dashboard. After opening it, you will see a spiral knob that can be rotated to adjust the sensitivity. It is recommended to reduce the sensitivity to a level where kicking the tire does not trigger the alarm. When parking, it is advisable to use the silent mode of the anti-theft device. The device can still function without sound, as it operates through the control circuit. If the vehicle is started abnormally, it will automatically cut off power and trigger the audible alarm. If the anti-theft device detects vibrations and keeps sounding continuously, it may disturb others and drain the car's battery.

How to Read the Audi Oil Dipstick?

Check the oil level using the dipstick, with the ideal standard being that the oil level is between the upper and lower limits. Here is some relevant information: 1. Precautions: The recommended oil volume for an Audi A3 is between 3.5-4.0 liters. When adding oil, it's best to drain the old oil completely, then pull out the dipstick to check. Avoid overfilling, as excess oil can harm the engine. Adding around 3.8 liters is optimal. 2. Observation Method: The dipstick has upper and lower limit markings at its tip. Observe the portion wetted by oil. If the oil level is between the marks, the amount is correct. If it's above the upper limit, there's too much oil; if below the lower limit, there's too little, and you'll need to add an appropriate amount.

What to Do When Water Leakage from the Car Sunroof Causes Water Accumulation in the Floor Mats?

When water leakage from the car sunroof causes water accumulation in the floor mats, the following measures should be taken: 1. Immediately clean up the accumulated water inside the car and use a car vacuum to dry it: After wiping it clean, the vehicle should be promptly air-dried to evaporate any remaining water inside. If there is not much water inside, there is no need to remove the seats, but if there is a significant amount of water, the seats should be removed for drying. 2. While air-drying the seats, you can also check the electronic components inside the car: Look for any signs of short circuits or malfunctioning. If any issues are found, they should be replaced or repaired.

Is It Normal for a Car to Shake When Turning Off?

It is not normal for a car to shake when turning off. Reasons for shaking: 1. Engine misfire, which mainly refers to one or more cylinders in the engine not working properly, often related to ignition coil failure; 2. Aging or loosening of engine mounts, which are the rubber blocks between the engine and the frame. Once these mounts age or loosen, the engine's vibration will become significantly worse. Replacing the mounts will greatly reduce the effect; 3. Issues with the ignition system. Check the working condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or bad spark plug firing can also cause such faults. Check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon buildup and replace them if necessary.
