Currently, all fuel-powered BMW 5 Series models come with remote control keys, while only the new energy vehicle versions of the 5 Series are equipped with touchscreen LCD keys. More information about car keys is as follows: 1. Common types of keys on the market include mechanical keys, remote control keys, touchscreen LCD keys, and smart bracelet keys, with mechanical and remote control keys being the most common and basic. 2. Regardless of the type, the basic functions of car keys are to unlock doors and start the vehicle. Some remote control and touchscreen LCD keys can also perform functions like automatic parking and viewing vehicle information.

I recently considered buying a BMW 5 Series and specifically looked into the LCD key. Indeed, this key is optional but requires an additional payment, usually included in some luxury packages. The key is pretty cool—it displays vehicle status information like range and lock status, and can remotely start the engine, eliminating the hassle of carrying a traditional key. However, its battery life is average, and frequent charging can be annoying. When opting for it, it's best to ask the dealer directly; the price might be a few thousand yuan. My suggestion is if your budget allows, go for it; otherwise, the standard key is sufficient since it doesn’t hinder driving functionality. Ultimately, choosing this option depends on personal needs and budget.

Speaking of the BMW 5 Series' LCD key, I can share some experience: it's an optional feature. I've discussed it in car enthusiast circles, and many people opted for it mainly for its convenience in monitoring the vehicle and pre-adjusting temperature functions. However, the downside is that it's really expensive, with a hefty optional price, and you should also be aware of potential warranty limitations. I recommend clarifying all details with the salesperson at the time of purchase to avoid regretting the extra expense. Additionally, the key's design is quite stylish and eye-catching, but it doesn't have much impact on actual driving. If saving money is a priority, focusing on core configurations is better. Overall, choosing this option should be based on personal preference, not just following the trend.

Can the Verano be started remotely?

Verano can be started remotely. The relevant introduction to remote start is as follows: Remote start method: Press and release the lock button, then immediately hold the engine start button for about 4 seconds to remotely start the engine using the remote door lock transmitter from outside the vehicle. In addition, the Verano car key can also remotely lock, unlock doors, start remotely, and cancel remote start. Precautions for using remote start: When using it, note that the preheating should not exceed the manufacturer's limit of ten minutes, and the number of times should not exceed two. Because the engine warms up much slower when idling in place than during normal driving, and the three-way catalytic converter also takes a long time to reach the working temperature of over 350 degrees. At this time, the exhaust gas produced by incomplete combustion in the engine will place a great burden on the catalytic converter, and long-term use may damage the three-way catalytic converter.

Can You Make a U-Turn on a Left-Turn Green Light?

Whether you can make a U-turn on a left-turn green light depends on the situation: 1. Vehicles are prohibited from making a U-turn at locations with signs or markings indicating 'No U-Turn' or 'No Left Turn'; 2. At locations without 'No U-Turn' or 'No Left Turn' signs or markings, a U-turn is allowed, but it must not interfere with the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. Here are the key points to note when making a U-turn: 1. Intersections with U-turn signals: Follow the instructions of the signal lights and ground markings, usually in the leftmost lane; 2. Intersections without U-turn signals but with left-turn signals: As long as there is no 'No U-Turn' sign or a dedicated U-turn signal, vehicles can make a U-turn at any time, provided it does not affect normal traffic flow and is safe; 3. Yellow grid areas: These indicate no stopping. If the light ahead is red, vehicles behind should avoid this area, but U-turns are permitted here; 4. Crosswalk areas: Although these areas generally do not have 'No U-Turn' signs, they are equivalent to pedestrian walkways and U-turns are not allowed.

What are the consequences of having 11 points deducted from a driver's license?

For small cars and motorcycles, having 11 points deducted from the driver's license will not cause any issues. After paying the fine, the points will be automatically cleared at the end of the scoring cycle. For large and medium-sized passenger and cargo vehicle driver's licenses, having 11 points deducted requires undergoing a review, which includes participating in no less than three hours of study and warning education. If a large or medium-sized passenger or cargo vehicle driver's license has 11 points deducted during the probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by one year. For a C1 driver's license, having 11 points deducted will not cause any issues, but the fine must be paid. It is crucial to avoid further point deductions, as reaching 12 points will require retaking the theoretical exam (Subject 1) to restore the 12 points. Failure to take the exam within 15 days will result in the suspension of the driver's license by the traffic management authorities. Driver's license point deduction inquiries refer to checking the point penalties resulting from traffic violations via SMS, phone, or online methods. There are five ways to check vehicle violations: terminal inquiries at traffic branch offices, service website inquiries, phone inquiries, SMS inquiries, and tool inquiries.

Can a broken windshield be claimed under compulsory traffic insurance?

No, compulsory traffic insurance does not cover damage to your own vehicle's glass, as it is designed to compensate for damage to third-party vehicles and individuals. To claim for vehicle damage, you must have purchased vehicle damage insurance. Compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory by the state and is required for legally driving on the road. Otherwise, according to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the traffic management department of the public security authorities can impound the vehicle, require the owner to provide the corresponding license, registration, or complete necessary procedures, and may issue a warning or impose a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Automobiles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicle Traffic Accidents." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates, within the liability limits, for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses suffered by victims (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) in road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle. The premium is based on a nationally unified standard rate. However, the price of compulsory traffic insurance varies for different vehicle types, primarily influenced by the number of seats. Compared to the more than 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party liability insurance, compulsory traffic insurance covers a broader range, including losses caused intentionally by the victim, the insured's own property damage, related arbitration and litigation costs, and certain indirect losses from accidents. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in an accident, compulsory traffic insurance will compensate within the liability limits without any deductible or exemption. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies An electronic insurance policy refers to a digital policy issued by an insurance company using digital signature software and corporate digital certificates that comply with the PKI system, bearing the electronic signature of the insurance company. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the formal written proof of the insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. It must fully record the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties to the insurance contract. The contents of the insurance policy serve as the basis for both parties to fulfill their contractual obligations. The insurance policy is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of Electronic Insurance Policies: Saves paper resources by eliminating the need to print insurance proof labels; Time-saving and convenient, not restricted by time or location, with information universally accessible online anytime, quickly and easily; Allows for reissuance and resending, eliminating worries about loss. If a paper version is needed offline, it can be printed or mailed; Easy management, as electronic standardization makes it easier for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage the insurance information of various vehicles.

What Causes the Zizzing Sound When Pressing the Accelerator?

One of the reasons for the zizzing sound when pressing the accelerator is: 1. The engine temperature is too low: When the car starts cold, the temperature of the engine is relatively low, and various parts and fluids have not reached an optimal working environment and state; 2. Lack of engine oil: leading to deterioration of the oil, affecting lubrication, and causing abnormal noises from part friction; 3. Damaged half-shaft: including twisted or broken half-shafts, worn spline teeth; 4. Loose engine belt: causing idle revving when accelerating. The accelerator, also known as the 'throttle' or 'air valve,' refers to the control device that regulates the engine's power (thrust). In piston-type aircraft engines, the throttle controls the carburetor's throttle opening to regulate the cylinder's filling volume, determining the engine's output power. In gas turbine engines, the throttle controls the metered fuel flow of the fuel regulator, determining the thrust produced by the engine.

What is the tire size of the T-Roc 280?

The T-Roc 280 is equipped with Dunlop SPSPORTMAXX series tires. The size for high-end models is 215/50 R18, while other models come with 215/50 R17 or 215/50 R16. Differences between tire sizes: Tires with a higher aspect ratio offer better comfort and improved reliability and durability. Tires with a lower aspect ratio provide less comfort and generate more road noise, but they offer superior handling and grip. Tire replacement interval: Since tires are rubber products, they will age over time with prolonged use. Therefore, car owners need to replace their tires regularly. It is recommended to replace tires every four years, as tires used for four years will show significant signs of aging.
