When the air conditioning is set to maximum cooling with both temperature and fan speed at their highest, the BMW 5 Series grille will open automatically. The grille remains closed when the air conditioning cooling function is not in use. More details are as follows: 1. Automatic adjustment principle: The BMW grille can automatically adjust its opening degree based on actual conditions. The ability to control the opening and closing of the grille means it can regulate air intake and heat dissipation. For example, when starting the vehicle in cold winter, the grille remains closed, allowing the engine temperature to rise faster, which enhances the car's performance in winter. 2. High temperature conditions: When the engine temperature is relatively high, the front grille will open automatically to facilitate heat dissipation. This means the active grille system resolves the conflict between summer cooling and winter insulation.

Can a Level 10 Wind Flip a Car?

A Level 10 wind can flip a car. Under the impact of a Level 10 typhoon, the direction of a moving car can easily become uncontrollable, especially when the typhoon blows from the side, making the car prone to rollover accidents. Below are some precautions for driving in windy conditions: Pay attention to pedestrians' movements: When driving in strong winds, it is crucial to stay highly focused. During strong winds, some pedestrians cover their faces with scarves or wear sunglasses, which limits their visibility. Others may run hastily without paying attention to vehicles. Drivers must remain extremely vigilant to avoid traffic accidents. Use the air conditioning wisely: Do not use the external air circulation mode in windy weather. Since early spring temperatures may still be low, sometimes the air conditioning is needed for heating. If the external circulation is turned on during windy conditions, dust from outside can enter the car through the air conditioning system, polluting the interior and making it difficult to clean.

Should You Shift to N Gear When Waiting at a Traffic Light?

It depends on the waiting time. If the wait is short, you can stay in D gear without shifting to N gear; if the wait is long, you should shift to N gear. Below is an introduction to car gears: 1. D gear: This is the drive gear, used when the car is moving. Most automatic cars have D gear designed with a sequence from 1st gear to higher gears. When driving, simply place the gear lever in D gear, and the car's speed will be controlled by the accelerator. 2. N gear: N gear is neutral. If the gear lever is placed in N gear, the power transmission system between the car engine and the transmission will be disconnected. Neutral is generally used for brief stops. 3. P gear: When parking, the car gear should be placed in this position. P gear uses the car's internal design to control the rotation system, preventing the car from moving even on inclined surfaces.

What is the SLS?

SLS is a luxury sedan launched by Shanghai General Motors, developed based on the third-generation Sigma platform. The domestic version of the SLS has a slightly longer body than the overseas version, offering more rear-seat space, with both versions utilizing the high-performance sport-oriented SLS platform. The SLS is equipped with three main engine options: a 2.8L, 3.6L, and 4.6L naturally aspirated engine. Built on the third-generation Sigma chassis platform, the SLS features an MRC (Magnetic Ride Control) active electromagnetic suspension system. Its working principle involves altering the arrangement of magnetic particle fluid within the shock absorbers by varying the voltage between electrodes, thereby adjusting damping. The system can respond continuously up to 1000 times per second. Complementing this is a lightweight full-aluminum suspension system, with the front wheels using a double-wishbone independent suspension and the rear wheels employing a multi-link independent suspension, achieving a balance between comfort and handling.

What Does Entry-Level Model Mean?

Entry-level model refers to the smallest and least equipped variant in an entire vehicle lineup. The same model can be categorized from lowest to highest configuration levels as: entry-level model, low-to-mid trim, mid trim, mid-to-high trim, and top (flagship) model. An entry-level model typically comes with a manual transmission and mechanical handbrake, lacking mainstream features such as electronic parking brake, auto hold, engine start-stop system, power-folding mirrors, and heated mirrors. Common standard equipment refers to features available across all trim levels of a model series. While standard configurations can meet daily needs, they may not satisfy higher requirements. Top-tier models offer more safety and comfort features like collision warning, surround sound system, automatic emergency braking, and automatic parking - configurations that are absent in standard models and exclusive to flagship variants.

Will Insurance Cover Vehicles Submerged in Floods?

Insurance covers vehicles submerged in floods. According to insurance clauses, auto insurance provides compensation for vehicle damage or personal injuries caused by ground fissures, mudslides, ground collapse, typhoons, avalanches, etc. However, as earthquakes fall under the category of catastrophic disasters, auto insurance policies uniformly exclude earthquake-related damages. Below are scenarios where insurance claims may be denied: Owner Restarts the Vehicle: If the engine stalls due to driving through water and the owner attempts to restart it to move the vehicle out of the flooded area, resulting in water ingress and engine damage, the insurance company will deny the claim. Therefore, even if the owner has purchased comprehensive auto insurance, they should avoid restarting the engine after stalling in water. Owner Drives Despite Knowing Water Depth: If the owner knowingly drives through a severely flooded area despite being aware of the deep water, leading to engine damage from water ingress, the insurance company will also refuse to compensate.
