BMW 5 Series cruise control usage method: 1. Press CRUISE to activate cruise control. 2. Briefly press the adjustment button towards RES+ or SET- once to increase or decrease the set cruise speed by 1km/h. 3. Briefly press the button towards SET- to set the current speed as the cruise speed. Precautions for using cruise control in the BMW 5 Series are as follows: 1. Basic cruise control does not automatically brake in emergencies; only vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control can do so. However, full automation of electronic devices still requires gradual improvement, so it is recommended that drivers remain attentive to road conditions. 2. Braking serves as the termination signal for cruise control, but the previously set speed value remains stored in the system and can be directly resumed. 3. In complex road conditions or under adverse weather conditions, activating cruise control may pose risks. Please turn off cruise control and drive manually. 4. On downhill slopes, the vehicle may exceed the cruise speed. In such cases, use the foot brake as an assist and, if necessary, turn off cruise control.

I often use the cruise control function when driving my new 5 Series, and the operation is quite simple: first, drive to your desired speed, say 80 km/h, press the cruise control button on the steering wheel to activate the system, then press the SET button to lock the current speed; after that, use the adjacent +/- buttons to adjust the speed up or down. To cancel, lightly tap the brake or press the cancel button. This feature is really convenient on highways, making long trips less tiring for the feet. Just remember to stay focused, and never use it in rain or snow, as it can easily lead to loss of control on slippery roads. I recommend getting an annual check-up for your car's electronic systems to ensure the buttons and sensors are functioning properly, avoiding any issues that might disrupt your trip. It can also be combined with navigation routes to automatically control speed on straight sections.

Getting familiar with the cruise control on the new BMW 5 Series is not difficult for beginners. First, start the vehicle and drive until reaching the desired speed, then press the cruise control button located at the lower right of the steering wheel to activate it. Next, press the SET button to lock in the speed; use the up and down buttons to adjust the speed. Canceling is simple: just step on the brake or press the X button. Avoid distractions like looking at your phone during the process. Trying it for the first time on the highway feels much more relaxed, saving both fuel and effort; regularly check the lighting system to avoid electrical issues.

Why is there a 10-day rule for driving test appointments?

It takes 10 days to schedule an exam to allow students to calm down during this short period of time, consolidate these test items, and deepen their impressions. At the same time, because there are too many people applying for an exam, the number of places is limited. The following is extended information: 1. Formulation and announcement of the examination plan: Relevant departments should formulate and review the examination plans for each subject of the driving test at least 10 days before the announcement, and the announced examination plan should not be less than 5 days. 2. Notes: a. Self-appointment means that candidates freely choose the examination venue and time in the examination plan; system appointment is automatically selected by the system. b. Except for the subject one exam, when scheduling other subject exams, you need to evaluate the previous exam before continuing to schedule. c. After the appointment application is submitted, the system will notify the student by SMS 3 days in advance whether the appointment is successful, and the student can also log in to the appointment platform to directly check. d. When registering information, ensure that the mobile phone number and ID number are filled in correctly. e. Do not cancel easily after a successful appointment, otherwise it will affect the success rate and examination time of the next appointment.

What to Bring for the First Maintenance?

Items required for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; vehicle registration book; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle's driving license; vehicle's purchase invoice, to be taken to the designated first maintenance facility for the vehicle's initial service. Important note: Make an appointment with the 4S shop in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial service after a new car has been driven, with the specific time varying by vehicle, generally after driving 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers. It is essential to attend the first maintenance promptly, neither in advance nor delayed. The completion of the first maintenance signifies the end of the vehicle's break-in period, allowing it to be driven under standard load and normal speed as required by the car. The timing for the first maintenance is calculated from the date of vehicle pickup. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance: mileage and time. Whichever condition is met first will be the standard. The first maintenance items include: oil change, oil filter replacement, cleaning the air filter, checking various fluid levels for normalcy, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for damage, checking tire pressure for normalcy, and examining tires for damage or bulges. Time required: Completing all tasks takes approximately 2 hours. The most crucial part of the first maintenance for a new car is changing the oil and oil filter. When changing the oil, the oil filter must also be replaced simultaneously. The choice of oil must refer to the "Vehicle Usage and Maintenance Manual," as different vehicle models specify different oil grades. Maintenance precautions: Do not rinse the interior of the car body with water: Many people clean their cars themselves during holidays, using water to wash the body and wiping it with a cloth. Here, it is important to note that the interior of the car body should not be directly rinsed with water. If the floor mats are dirty, they can be vacuumed or taken out, scrubbed with a brush and detergent, dried, and then placed back. There are many drainage holes under the rubber mats on the floor of the driver's compartment. If water enters, it will not dry but flow through the holes to areas like the gearbox, causing erosion and corrosion. The better approach is to use a vacuum cleaner for cleaning, followed by wiping with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the antifreeze in the car is low, it is recommended to drain the antifreeze and add the same brand from the beginning. Since antifreeze brands differ, their chemical properties vary significantly. Different types of corrosion inhibitors can corrode each other. Different brands of antifreeze use different corrosion inhibitors, so they should not be mixed to avoid unnecessary trouble. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When bolts on a moving car rust, they are often oiled to function properly again. To prevent rust on wheel bolts and nuts, some people apply lubricant, which can pose a safety risk. At high speeds, bolts and nuts can loosen or even fall off, leading to driving malfunctions. Do not press the accelerator when starting an EFI car: The starter of an EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) car differs from that of a conventional car. Its fuel injection control device can automatically adjust the fuel supply based on the starter's temperature and operating conditions, ensuring smooth starting.

Is there a big difference in power between the Sagitar 1.2 and 1.4?

The only difference between the Sagitar 1.2T and 1.4T engines is their performance. The 1.2T has a maximum horsepower of 116 hp and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, while the 1.4T has a maximum horsepower of 150 hp and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, showing a very noticeable gap. Apart from performance differences, there are no distinctions in other aspects such as dimensions or wheelbase. Below are some relevant details about the Sagitar: 1. The Sagitar's body dimensions are 4753mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731mm. 2. The Sagitar is equipped with two engines: a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. Both engines feature direct fuel injection technology, use aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks, and are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 3. The Sagitar's front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.

Is the Brake Pedal the Same as the Brake?

The brake pedal is indeed the same as the brake. There is a small pedal connected to the brake lever on the brake, hence it is also referred to as the 'brake pedal,' primarily used for decelerating or stopping the vehicle. Below is additional information on vehicle braking systems: 1. Throttle-Controlled Braking: When deceleration is needed, maintain the vehicle in 3rd gear and fully release the throttle. At this point, the engine tends to idle, creating resistance in the drivetrain that acts on the wheels to achieve deceleration. 2. Exhaust Braking: In high-power diesel engines, there is a butterfly valve at the junction between the exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe. When the vehicle is in gear, operating an electromagnetic switch closes this valve, causing the engine to 'stall' and thus achieve a braking effect. The valve automatically opens when the throttle is pressed again. This method is structurally simple but can damage the engine. It is commonly used in heavy trucks and large buses. 3. Engine Braking Mechanism: A braking signal slightly opens the exhaust valve without closing it, causing both upward and downward piston movements to be dampened by airflow, generating braking force. This method is compact and non-damaging but is currently not available domestically.
