To use the heating system in a BMW 5 Series, follow these steps: Turn the temperature knob to increase the temperature, which will activate the heating. When using the heating function, ensure the AC button is turned off, as the compressor is not required for heating. The heating system utilizes the engine's coolant and the heat from the windshield heating wires. The BMW 5 Series is a mid-size luxury sedan produced by BMW, with dimensions of 4998mm in length, 1901mm in width, and 1559mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3108mm. Notable design changes include the headlights and bumper. The headlights have evolved from the current circular design to a style similar to the new 7 Series with upper and lower cut edges, featuring LED light sources. The fog lights are circular, and the chrome trim is not a single straight line. Additionally, the lower grille has been updated from a mesh to a rectangular design.

How to Determine if There's an Intake Pipe Leak?

An intake pipe leak can cause symptoms such as weak engine operation, increased nitrogen oxide emissions in the exhaust, or difficulty starting the engine. Below are the symptoms that may occur when there's an intake pipe leak: 1. Weak engine operation: The air entering the engine through the crack in the intake pipe bypasses the air flow sensor. This unmeasured air dilutes the combustible mixture in the engine cylinders, leading to weak engine performance. 2. Increased nitrogen oxide emissions: Nitrogen oxides (NOx) in vehicle exhaust are formed under high-temperature, oxygen-rich conditions. An overly lean combustible mixture promotes the generation of nitrogen oxides, thereby increasing the emission of exhaust pollutants. 3. Difficulty starting the engine: During the starting process, the engine requires a higher concentration of the combustible mixture. The lean mixture caused by the intake pipe leak may result in difficulties when starting the engine.

Can Temporary License Plates Be Used on Elevated Roads?

Temporary license plates can be used on urban elevated roads. According to relevant regulations, vehicles displaying a "Temporary Vehicle License Plate" have the same access rights as other vehicles of the same type. Temporary license plates have time restrictions, generally valid for 15 or 30 days. There are also location restrictions. If a vehicle is purchased locally but registered in another city, the temporary plate will specify the route and can only be used within the designated cities. If the owner resides locally and plans to register the vehicle in the same city, the temporary plate is considered a local temporary license plate, meaning it can only be used within the local city and the vehicle cannot travel outside the area. If a local temporary plate is used outside the designated city, it becomes invalid. If discovered by traffic police, the vehicle will be treated as unlicensed. Therefore, owners must register their vehicles at the DMV within the validity period specified on the temporary plate.

How to Solve the Abnormal Noise of Car Generator Belt?

Car generator belt abnormal noise needs to go to the repair shop to adjust the belt tension or replace the belt. There are several main reasons for the abnormal noise of the generator belt: 1. The belt slips on the generator, causing intense friction and vibration between the belt and the pulley, producing a certain frequency of noise; 2. The main reason for belt slipping is belt looseness or aging. Factors that can cause belt looseness include improper adjustment of the belt tensioner or insufficient tensioner spring force. In this case, the tension of the belt tensioner should be adjusted first. If there is no effect, the tensioner should be replaced; 3. Belt aging mainly refers to the belt gradually hardening and losing elasticity during long-term use, reducing the friction between the belt and the pulley. In this case, the belt can only be replaced.
