There is a cover under the air vent. Open it to find a USB port that supports FAT32 format. The system supports movie formats such as MP4, AVI, and MKV. Insert the USB drive, and you can select and play movies on the rear display.

In my BMW 7 Series, the rear-seat display is super convenient for watching movies. While driving, I usually first insert a USB flash drive into the rear USB port, with movie files in formats like MP4 stored on it. Then, through the iDrive system on the center console, I switch to the media menu and find the rear screen control option. After selecting the USB input, I can browse and play the movie list on the screen. For long trips, I've also tried connecting a laptop via an HDMI cable, allowing real-time streaming from Netflix or YouTube, provided that the car has an active Wi-Fi hotspot service. Remember to use high-definition files for better audio-visual synchronization. The key is to ensure the vehicle's engine is running or an external power source is connected for the screen to function properly. The whole process is simple and doesn't compromise driving safety while kids watch movies in the back. Overall, BMW's rear-seat entertainment system is intelligently designed, making my journeys more enjoyable.

After alignment, secure the suction cup on the glass, then tighten the lower part of the pressure rod and remove the upper part; 4. Next, screw the pressure rod into the fixed base and pour the repair liquid into the opening of the pressure rod; 5.

Start gently and release the clutch slowly; 2. Shift gears in a timely manner, neither too early nor too late, and always shift gears based on the tachometer; 3. Excessive throttle or low engine speed will lead to higher fuel consumption; 4. Check tire pressure regularly, as normal tire pressure ensures normal fuel consumption for motorcycles.

What is the correct sequence for parking an automatic transmission car?

Correct sequence for parking an automatic transmission car: 1. Press the foot brake to stop the car; 2. Shift the gear from D (Drive) to N (Neutral); 3. Engage the handbrake; 4. Release the foot brake but do not turn off the power, the purpose is to confirm that the car can come to a complete stop under the handbrake's effect, preventing the P (Park) gear from locking; 5. Press the foot brake again and shift the gear from N to P; 6. Release the foot brake and press the start/stop button to turn off the power. The engine can only be started in P and N gears, and when restarting after parking, it must be in P gear. Generally, before the engine is started, other gears cannot be engaged.

What does 'cleanair' displayed on the car mean?

When 'cleanair' is displayed on the car, it refers to the air purification function, which is a feature of the vehicle's air conditioning system. The car air conditioning is a crucial comfort feature in automobiles, capable of both cooling and heating, as well as filtering out impurities from the outside air. The 'cleanair' function is an air purification feature typically found in mid-to-high-end vehicles. The 'cleanair' button serves only as an indicator and cannot be manually pressed. The 'cleanair' system can adsorb more harmful substances onto the filter element and purify the air through negative ions. By generating plasma through a high-voltage circuit, the protein membrane on the surface of bacteria is destroyed by positive and negative ions, causing them to lose vitality and die, thereby achieving the goal of eliminating bacteria in the air.

Where is the car battery switch?

The car battery does not have a switch. What is commonly referred to as a car battery is also known as a storage battery. A storage battery is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. It is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Storage batteries are sensitive to low temperatures, as their capacity is significantly lower in cold environments compared to normal temperatures. The normal service life of a car battery generally ranges from 1 to 8 years, depending largely on the condition of the vehicle. If the vehicle's alternator recharges normally and there are no electrical leaks or grounding issues, the battery can typically last more than 3 years. If you notice that the battery is not charging properly, the starter is weak, or the headlights are noticeably dimmer, you should remove the battery and charge it for 12 to 24 hours using a charger. If this does not resolve the issue and the mileage has exceeded 50,000 kilometers, and the alternator is functioning properly, it may be time to consider replacing the battery.
