BMW 325li's first maintenance mainly focuses on inspections. Inspection items: Replace engine oil, oil filter, clean air filter; check whether the generator belt and wiper blades are damaged; check whether the levels of various fluids are normal; check whether the tire pressure is normal and whether there is uneven wear, bulging, or damage on the tires; inspect the car chassis: including brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints for scratches, etc.; check all switches and lights to ensure they are working properly. First maintenance mileage: The first maintenance is due at 10,000 kilometers. After the first maintenance, maintenance is required every 10,000 kilometers. Each routine maintenance requires the replacement of engine oil and oil filter. The vehicle's three-guarantee validity period is two years or 50,000 kilometers, and the warranty period is three years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. A full vehicle inspection is required every 60,000 kilometers.

I just had the first maintenance service for my BMW 325li, and it was quite hassle-free. The core items included changing the engine oil and oil filter to ensure proper lubrication for the new engine; they also checked the brake system for wear and measured tire pressure to ensure it meets standards. All lights were tested, especially for nighttime driving safety; various fluids like coolant and brake fluid levels were inspected to prevent leaks and potential hazards. I recommend bringing the vehicle manual—4S shops usually perform these services for free, and some even offer complimentary car washing. Remember to do it around 10,000 km; don’t wait until strange noises appear before rushing in. From personal experience, booking an appointment and avoiding peak hours can save a lot of time.

As experienced drivers who have driven many cars, I have extensive knowledge about the first maintenance of the 325Li. The primary tasks include changing the engine oil and filter to prevent carbon buildup from damaging the engine; checking the brake pad thickness, tire wear, and wheel balance; as well as inspecting the chassis for loose screws and overall body stability. Regular maintenance is crucial, and completing the first maintenance thoroughly can extend the vehicle's lifespan and reduce future repair costs. I usually perform a quick check on the car's condition myself, such as changing the oil if it appears black. It's advisable to keep a record of maintenance dates and maintain a logbook, reporting any issues promptly. Don’t overlook free service items, and always ask the service advisor for details.

I've been following automotive technology for a long time. The key points of the 325Li's first maintenance focus on performance upkeep: replacing synthetic oil with specific viscosity matching engine requirements, upgrading to high-efficiency filters for optimized filtration; ECU system diagnostics to clear potential fault codes; tire pressure adjustment and brake response testing are essential. This ensures smooth vehicle operation and improves fuel efficiency. I usually monitor oil consumption, and the first maintenance is an opportunity to lay a solid foundation. It's recommended to choose an authorized service center and use BMW-certified consumables to avoid affecting the warranty.

What is the SET button in a car?

The SET button in a car is a speed adjustment switch, which serves as the speed regulation indicator for cruise control. When setting the cruise control, the vehicle needs to be accelerated to the desired speed, and then the SET button is pressed to adjust. To use cruise control, first press the ON button to activate the cruise control function. When setting the cruise control speed, press the SET button to configure it. Cruise control has speed limitations, typically requiring the vehicle to be traveling at least 48 km/h. If the brake pedal is pressed during driving, the cruise control will deactivate. To resume cruise control, press the RSM button in the car. To increase the cruise control speed, press the ACCEL button. To decrease the cruise control speed, press the CST button. The cruise control function in a car works by using a speed sensor to transmit signals and compare them with the set speed, ensuring the vehicle maintains the preset speed. The car's computer can then provide the most accurate fuel supply. Using cruise control allows for more complete fuel combustion in the engine, while also reducing fuel consumption.

What does the pressure gauge pointer indicate for normal pressure in a fire extinguisher

The pressure gauge pointer of a fire extinguisher indicates normal pressure when it is in the green zone. The normal pressure value of a fire extinguisher is approximately between 1.2—1.5 MPa. If the pointer is in the red zone, it means the pressure inside the cylinder is insufficient, indicating the fire extinguisher cannot be used normally. If the pointer is in the yellow zone, it indicates overpressure, meaning the pressure is too high and poses a potential danger (however, slight overpressure may still be considered normal). Relevant information about fire extinguishers is as follows: 1. Introduction: A fire extinguisher, also known as a fire cylinder, is a portable firefighting tool. It contains chemicals used to extinguish fires. The fire extinguisher is a sturdy metal cylinder filled with water or fire-extinguishing materials. 2. Working Principle: When the lever at the top of the cylinder is pressed, the high pressure generated forces the extinguishing agent inside the cylinder out, similar to how a spray can ejects its contents. The function of a fire extinguisher is to displace air, depriving the fire of oxygen and thus extinguishing it.

What is the difference between a DSG transmission and an AT transmission?

The differences between a DSG transmission and an AT transmission are as follows: 1. AT: The torque converter is the most distinctive component of an AT transmission, consisting of components such as the pump wheel, turbine, and guide wheel, which directly input engine power to transmit torque and perform clutch functions. The pump wheel and turbine form a working pair, similar to two fans placed opposite each other, where the wind generated by one active fan drives the blades of the other passive fan to rotate, with the flowing air—wind—serving as the medium for kinetic energy transmission. 2. DSG: The DSG transmission is distinctly different from traditional automatic transmissions, as the DSG does not use a hydraulic torque converter from the outset. This transmission was not developed based on the conventional concept of an automatic transmission. The engineers who designed the DSG took an innovative and entirely new technological path, cleverly combining the flexibility of a manual transmission with the convenience of a traditional automatic transmission.

What is the phenomenon of drivers using their eyes, ears, hands, and feet simultaneously while driving?

Drivers using their eyes, ears, hands, and feet simultaneously while driving is known as attention allocation. Here is relevant information: 1. Driving precautions: Suburban roads: There are many intersections, so be cautious of motorcycles and bicycles suddenly appearing from side roads. Avoid driving too close to the right boundary of the road and maintain sufficient safety distance. When pedestrians (especially the elderly or children) are present, remain highly alert, keep a safe distance, and control your speed. 2. "Three precautions": Pay attention to food hygiene: Due to the mobile nature of driving jobs, always choose clean and hygienic restaurants when dining to prevent infectious diseases. Pay attention to rest: Ensure adequate sleep to stay energetic and focused, enabling safe driving. Maintain a safe following distance: While driving, keep sufficient longitudinal and lateral safety distances, always be aware of the movements of vehicles and pedestrians, and avoid following the vehicle ahead too closely or driving side by side to prevent rear-end collisions and side-swipe accidents.
