320li's one-touch start button is located at the lower right of the steering wheel. Press it while stepping on the brake to start the car. The gear shift lever is an electronic one. Pull it down once for D gear, and the car will move when you step on the accelerator, with the rest handled by the transmission. In the central control area, from top to bottom, there are the display screen, air vents, radio control buttons, and air conditioning control buttons. More details are as follows: I. Central control buttons: 1. Electronic Stability Program (ESP): Can be manually turned off in conditions like rain, snow, or muddy roads. Normally, keeping it on prevents skidding and tailspin. 2. Parking radar/image: This button activates the panoramic image and radar function, helping the driver detect surrounding obstacles through alarms and visual feedback. 3. Auto Hold: At traffic lights, the car won't roll away even if you release the brake pedal. Stepping on the accelerator unlocks the wheels, allowing the car to move again. 4. Auto Start-Stop: Main function is to temporarily turn off the engine. The car restarts when the driver's foot leaves the brake pedal. 5. Internal/External Circulation: Internal circulation means the air inside the car is recirculated, while external circulation exchanges air inside and outside the car. Use internal circulation in heavy traffic, dusty, or hazy conditions. On highways, switch from internal to external circulation periodically, with internal circulation not exceeding one hour. 6. Temperature Zone Sync: When activated, changing the driver's seat temperature adjusts all other zones accordingly. When turned off, each zone can be adjusted separately for more personalized comfort. II. Door buttons: 1. Window lock button; 2. One-touch window control switch; 3. External mirror adjustment switch (angle adjustment, folding function); 4. Central lock button. III. Roof buttons: 1. Sunroof switch; 2. Driver's reading light; 3. Passenger's reading light; 4. Sunshade opening; 5. Interior light; 6. Sunshade closing.

Speaking of the button functions in the 2018 BMW 320Li, as a long-time owner, I find the layout very intuitive. The buttons on the left side of the steering wheel are for cruise control, including speed setting, resume, and other functions, which are especially convenient for highway driving. On the right side, there are volume adjustment buttons, a voice assistant, and a call answer button, making it easy to take calls or skip songs with just a press of a finger. In the center console area, next to the iDrive knob, there are menu, back, and navigation shortcut buttons, which make daily navigation screen operations smooth. The air conditioning buttons are located below, with temperature adjustment knobs that can be turned to set the desired temperature, and an AUTO mode button for one-touch automatic adjustment. The rear passenger area also features a small panel for independent air conditioning control, a thoughtful design. Overall, the buttons have a solid feel, minimizing distractions while driving and enhancing the driving experience.

How many liters is the last fuel bar of the Boyue?

Geely Boyue's fuel tank is divided into four bars, with each bar representing 25%. The total fuel tank capacity is 60 liters, so the last bar equals 15 liters. Below are the methods to check the fuel tank capacity and an introduction to the nominal volume: Methods to check the fuel tank capacity: Generally, the fuel level can be observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5-6 bars, with each bar representing the remaining fuel capacity. It is advisable to refuel when the fuel gauge shows two bars remaining to avoid running out of fuel midway. Introduction to nominal volume: The fuel tank capacity varies by vehicle model. However, most car manufacturers follow a general rule: a full tank of fuel usually supports driving approximately 600 kilometers, and not less than 500 kilometers. The nominal volume is slightly smaller than the actual refueling capacity because manufacturers reserve some space in the nominal volume to account for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow from the tank.

What Does Comprehensive Car Insurance Mean?

Comprehensive car insurance includes traffic insurance, vehicle damage insurance, third-party liability insurance, non-deductible insurance, and passenger insurance. Comprehensive car insurance covers: 1. Traffic Insurance: Officially known as Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance, this is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurer compensates for personal injuries, deaths, and property losses of victims (excluding cyclists and the insured) in road accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. 2. Third-Party Liability Insurance (TPL): Officially known as Commercial Third-Party Liability Insurance, it covers compensation amounts the insured is legally liable to pay for accidental injuries, deaths, or direct property losses to third parties caused by an authorized driver using the insured vehicle, as per the insurance contract. 3. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This commercial insurance covers damage to the insured vehicle caused by accidents while driven by the insured or an authorized driver, with the insurer compensating within reasonable limits. Vehicle damage insurance and TPL are basic vehicle insurances, primarily covering losses to the insured vehicle and third-party damages caused by its use. 4. Non-Deductible Insurance: Officially known as the No-Claim Discount Clause, it is an add-on to commercial insurance (vehicle damage or TPL). As an add-on, it requires the main insurance as a prerequisite and cannot be purchased separately. Its coverage typically involves special agreements.

How Does the Throttle Valve of a Diesel Engine Work?

The working principle of the throttle valve in a diesel engine is to control the engine's air intake, adjusting the mixture ratio of fuel and air based on computer signals, thereby ensuring complete fuel combustion to generate power. Throttle valves are generally divided into two main types: carburetor throttle valves and electronic throttle valves. Their working principles differ. The carburetor throttle valve regulates engine speed by drawing away fuel—the larger the throttle opening, the lower the engine speed. There is an air intake passage next to it. When the throttle angle is large, the air pressure inside the engine becomes lower than the outside air, causing some air to enter through the small passage, carrying away the corresponding amount of fuel. In other words, the smaller the throttle opening, the more fuel is drawn away. The electronic throttle valve uses varying voltages to regulate engine speed. The throttle valve controls the engine's air intake, adjusting the mixture ratio of fuel and air based on computer signals to ensure complete fuel combustion and power generation. When a driver presses the accelerator pedal, they are not directly controlling the fuel but rather the "air," as pressing the pedal and shifting gears forces a certain amount of air into the engine.

Is Southeast Motors a Domestic Car Brand?

Southeast Motors is a joint venture brand and also falls under the category of domestic cars. Here are the relevant details: Development History of Southeast Motors: Southeast Motors was established in 1995 through a joint investment by Fujian Automobile Industry Group Co., Ltd. and Taiwan China Motor Corporation. Subsequently, in 2006, Southeast Motors partnered with Japan's Mitsubishi Motors. As a result, the current equity of Southeast Motors is held by Fujian Automobile Group, Taiwan China Motor Corporation, and Mitsubishi Motors Group. Since Mitsubishi did not participate in the initial establishment of Southeast Motors, the brand is considered a domestic brand. Models of Southeast Motors: In its early stages, Southeast Motors was heavily influenced by the Taiwanese market, primarily producing vans and station wagons. The most famous model from this period was the Freeca, a recreational vehicle (RV) that combined the advantages of SUVs, MPVs, and station wagons. Starting in 2003, Southeast Motors began manufacturing sedans. The first sedan model introduced was the Lioncel, which was essentially the overseas version of the Mitsubishi Lancer.

Does Heavy Rain Cause Damage to Cars?

Whether parking a car outdoors during a heavy rain is harmful depends on the location; avoid low-lying areas to prevent flooding. Regularly check the vehicle's drainage channels for blockages. Detailed explanations are as follows: 1. Paint surface may corrode: Some areas have pollution, and the rain could be acid rain, exposing the car's paint directly to acid rain, which can cause corrosion, leading to rain marks, oxidation, or even cracking. 2. Dampness and mold: Compared to sunny days, the car interior is more prone to dampness and mold after rain. Additionally, rainwater can seep through the car's seams, causing metal parts to rust and corrode. Therefore, after the rain stops, accumulated moisture should be removed as soon as possible to prevent mold. 3. Bacterial growth: Bacteria thrive in damp environments, and the more humid the area, the faster bacteria multiply, especially during the rainy season. In normal times, areas without rain can be ventilated to maintain air circulation inside the car. However, during the rainy season, avoid opening windows for ventilation, as this can lead to rapid bacterial growth inside the car.
