BMW oil temperature of 120 is normal, as BMW vehicles are inherently high-temperature engines, and normal oil temperature will be higher than coolant temperature. Below is some information about engine oil: 1. Engine oil, or engine lubricant: With a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), it serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. 2. Engine oil consists of base oil and additives: Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties; additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of base oil, imparting new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil.

What to Do When the Tire Pressure Monitoring Light Stays On?

Tire pressure monitoring light stays on should stop to check whether the tire pressure is normal. When encountering a tire pressure system alarm, first pull over and check the tire pressure of all four tires. If the tire pressure warning light comes on again after driving for a while, it indicates that there is a problem with the tire pressure of a certain tire, and it needs to be checked and repaired in time. If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light comes on while driving, the owner should immediately reduce the speed and avoid sharp steering and sudden braking, and check the tires immediately. Reasons why the tire pressure monitoring indicator light stays on: 1. The tire pressure monitoring light is on due to a punctured tire; 2. Sometimes the tire pressure monitoring light is on because the tire pressure is too high; 3. The tire pressure monitoring light is on due to driving with low tire pressure for too long; 4. The tire pressure monitoring light is on due to low tire pressure caused by not inflating for a long time.

Will Insurance Cover the Deployment of Airbags?

In the event of a vehicle accident causing the deployment of airbags, the insurance company will provide compensation based on the insurance policy. The prerequisite is that the airbag is a factory-installed configuration of the vehicle and the accident falls within the scope of insurance coverage. Below is relevant information about airbags: 1. Airbags: A vehicle safety protection system primarily designed to provide protection in frontal collisions. 2. When the front of the vehicle is impacted: The igniter at the center of the airbag inflator is activated by the sensor, igniting the sodium azide particles in the inflator, releasing gas primarily composed of nitrogen. This gas passes through a filter to remove ash impurities and then inflates the airbag. 3. Fiber materials used in airbags: They must have high strength, excellent thermal stability, energy absorption, good coating adhesion, and maintain functionality under extreme high and low temperatures. They are often made of nylon or polyester.

Does the Volkswagen Passat Have a Particulate Filter?

Volkswagen Passat does not have a particulate filter. Function of the particulate filter: The particulate filter can reduce soot produced by diesel engines by over 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Application technology of the particulate filter: The particulate filter utilizes advanced electronic control systems, catalytic coatings, and fuel-additive catalysts. Principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the engine exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipeline. It then passes through a densely arranged bag-type filter inside, which adsorbs the carbon soot particles onto a filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, converting the adsorbed carbon soot particles into harmless carbon dioxide that is then expelled.

Can the BYD Qin turn on air conditioning while charging?

BYD Qin can turn on air conditioning while charging, but it consumes electricity relatively quickly. Here is the relevant information: 1. Usage method: The BYD Qin can adjust the air conditioning temperature through the central control panel's air conditioning system. Select the temperature to switch heating effects. When using automatic air conditioning, set the temperature to a higher level, then click the auto button on the air conditioning panel to activate heating. 2. Precautions: When starting the car in the morning, do not immediately turn on the heating air conditioning. Wait until the engine coolant temperature rises before activating it. Avoid setting the air conditioning temperature too high. Prolonged overheating may cause drowsiness and affect driving. During long-distance driving, regular ventilation is necessary. Poor air circulation occurs in enclosed spaces. Before parking, turn off the air conditioning and switch to external circulation with natural wind to clean the air conditioning ducts and prevent bacterial growth.

Is it permissible to make a U-turn in waterlogged sections?

It depends on the specific circumstances. 1. Ensure safety: When a motor vehicle is passing through a flooded road, it must confirm that it cannot pass safely before making a U-turn; otherwise, it is a violation. When driving through a flooded road or bridge, the vehicle should stop to assess the water conditions and proceed at a low speed only after confirming safety. 2. Check for U-turn lanes or signs: While driving on the road, whether on familiar or unfamiliar routes, it is essential to check for U-turn lanes or signs. If there is a U-turn lane, observe the traffic lights or signs for that lane and follow the regulations accordingly. 3. Special circumstances: For instance, some U-turn lanes may indicate that U-turns are allowed during a red light, in which case making a U-turn when the light is red is permissible. Conversely, if a U-turn sign specifies that U-turns should only be made during a green light, then making a U-turn during a red light would undoubtedly constitute a violation.
