BMW pure electric sedan is the BMW i3, which is positioned as a pure electric compact car. It offers two models with energy types being pure electric and range-extended. The advantage of the range-extended electric vehicle is that it can be refueled, with the small internal engine only driving the generator to charge the battery pack, not participating in power output, thereby increasing the range. The BMW i3 range-extended model also provides a charging port, supporting external charging. The BMW i3 is also known as the MegaCity model, featuring an advanced electric drive system similar to the all-electric drive system of the BMW 1 Series ActiveE, with a maximum output power of 167 horsepower, delivering power to the rear wheels.

Can ETC be placed in front without installation?

ETC can be used without being attached to the windshield. Installing ETC on the upper part of the windshield is to minimize obstruction of the driver's view and to ensure better recognition by the equipment at highway toll stations. If you don't want to install it on the windshield, try to place it in an open area where it can be seen through the windshield. For small cars, the ETC installation position is generally in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part. The suitable installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 and 90 degrees. For vehicles with anti-explosion film or those that have been retrofitted with anti-explosion film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, it should be installed in the microwave skylight zone. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rearward tilt angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If ETC is installed without considering this, it will increase the driver's blind spot. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, when installing, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal rod, connected to a switch below. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal rod in. If it is removed arbitrarily, the anti-removal rod will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to go to an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and payment for the vehicle in front. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20 kilometers per hour. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle's device information cannot be read, leading to payment failure. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance will also cause payment failure.

What does car folder mean?

Car folder refers to a directory where you can toggle between different folders. Some vehicle models display it as tunefolder, which translates to sound folder (audio folder). The function of this button is: when more than two song folders have been created, pressing the FOLDER down button will automatically skip to the second folder. Explanation of some car audio system buttons: MODE means playback source selection, used to switch between multimedia modes, namely AM, FM, HE, and USB modes; VOL adjusts the volume level.

Can You Drive with a Coolant Warning Light On?

You should not drive with a coolant warning light on. A coolant warning indicates that the coolant level is low, which can cause the engine to overheat. Continuing to drive in this condition may damage the engine and reduce its lifespan. Another scenario is when the coolant warning light comes on right after starting the engine but disappears once the engine warms up. This happens because the coolant level is at the minimum threshold. When the engine is turned off, the coolant level drops (due to thermal contraction), triggering the warning when starting a cold engine. As the engine warms up, the coolant expands, and the warning light turns off. Coolant should typically be replaced every two years or 40,000 kilometers.

What does bar mean in a car?

Bar in a car refers to the unit of tire pressure. Tires are an essential component of a vehicle, being the only part that comes into contact with the ground, and they directly affect the driving stability and safety of the car. Tires are made of rubber, and rubber products can deteriorate over time, so tires need to be replaced periodically. Tire pressure is crucial for tires—it should neither be too high nor too low. If the pressure is too low, the tire may develop wave-like deformations during high-speed driving, increasing the risk of a blowout and reducing the tire's lifespan. Conversely, if the pressure is too high, the contact area between the tire and the ground decreases, negatively impacting the car's handling and driving stability.

Why Do Hatchbacks Have Rear Wipers?

Hatchbacks have rear wipers because: Due to the influence of vortices, the rear windshield of hatchbacks (also known as two-box cars) is more prone to forming greater negative pressure compared to the rear windshield of sedans (three-box cars). This makes it easier for dust and dirt to accumulate on the rear windshield, obstructing the rearview function. Therefore, hatchbacks are generally equipped with rear wipers to maintain a clear rearward view. When a car is in motion, it displaces an equivalent volume of air. Due to the viscous nature of fluids, the air cannot quickly fill the space vacated by the moving car, resulting in a vacuum at the rear of the vehicle and the formation of vortices.

What is the oil specification for the Vezel?

The oil specification for the Vezel is 0W20. After 150,000 kilometers, 0W30 oil can be used for better engine protection. If you frequently engage in aggressive driving or highway driving, you can directly use 0W30 oil. The vehicle's user manual provides clear instructions, and it is recommended to choose the oil according to the guidelines provided. The Vezel is GAC Honda's first SUV, developed on Honda's new vehicle platform. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4294mm in length, 1772mm in width, and 1605mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm.
