BMW cars can run on 95 octane gasoline, and there is no need to use 98 octane gasoline. The scientific term for gasoline grades is 'octane number.' The higher the octane number, the higher the temperature required for detonation, meaning it is less prone to detonation. Relevant information about gasoline is as follows: 1. Introduction: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid distilled and cracked from petroleum, used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, and has a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. 2. Key Characteristics: The important characteristics of gasoline include volatility, stability, anti-knock properties, corrosiveness, and cleanliness.

How to Replace the Coolant in a Passat?

The method to replace the coolant in a Passat is as follows: 1. Remove the front grille by unscrewing it directly with a screwdriver; 2. After removing the screws, manually pry it open to reveal the drain port, then unscrew the drain plug with a screwdriver while opening the coolant filler cap; 3. Wait until the colored coolant has mostly drained out, then screw the drain plug back in and refill with new coolant. Coolant prevents the freezing of the liquid in the cooling system during cold winter stops, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or the engine cylinder block or head to freeze. There are many types of automotive antifreeze, including inorganic compounds like calcium chloride and organic compounds like methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, glycerin, and lubricating oils.

How Does the Crawl Control System Work?

The working principle of the crawl control system refers to the intervention of the vehicle's computer to control the brakes, throttle, and torque output. It can also adjust torque based on road condition feedback and electronically distribute braking force to all four wheels, ultimately preventing wheel slip. The driver only needs to steer, adjust speed via the dashboard knob, without operating the throttle or brake. The full name of the vehicle crawl mode is Low-Speed Cruise Driving Assistance System, also known as the Off-Road Novice System. This system is particularly useful for those with limited off-road experience, enabling them to overcome challenging obstacles with its assistance. In low-range four-wheel drive mode, activating the switch located to the right of the gearshift lever engages the low-speed cruise assist, maintaining a speed between 1 to 5 kilometers per hour. Below the switch, there is a three-position rotary knob allowing the driver to toggle between three different speed settings.
