BMW 320Li maintenance items (replacement intervals in parentheses): Engine oil and oil filter replacement (10,000 km): Improves oil quality for smoother power delivery and extends engine life; enhances the ability to filter impurities and debris. Fuel filter replacement (30,000 km): Removes impurities and moisture from fuel to ensure optimal engine performance. Spark plug replacement (Platinum: 60,000 km; Iridium: 80,000 km): Prevents ignition difficulties and engine power loss. Brake fluid replacement (40,000 km): Absorbs moisture from the air to improve braking performance and ensure driving safety. Brake pad replacement (should not be less than 3mm): Severe wear from prolonged use reduces braking effectiveness; replacing brake pads ensures stable handling performance. Air and cabin air filter replacement (30,000 km): Improves air intake quality for efficient gas distribution; enhances air quality by filtering dust and unpleasant odors. Comprehensive vehicle inspection: A thorough check of the car to ensure safe driving.

What is the typical break-in period mileage for vehicles?

Generally, the break-in period for vehicles ranges from 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers, which represents the fundamental mileage required to ensure proper contact, friction, adaptation, and settling of mechanical components. The vehicle break-in period refers to the initial driving phase of a new car or one that has undergone major repairs. During this period, the vehicle's components can adjust and enhance their environmental adaptability while wearing down any protrusions on the parts. The quality of the break-in process significantly impacts the vehicle's lifespan, safety, and fuel efficiency. Typically, beyond the driver-vehicle adaptation during mid-break-in, the primary focus is engine break-in – mainly involving the piston and cylinder liner, connecting rod and bearing shells, etc. The engine break-in period usually requires approximately 1,000 kilometers of driving. For transmissions, the break-in primarily involves gear meshing, requiring about 1,500 kilometers of driving distance.

Which department handles ETC?

ETC needs to be processed at the ETC management department, which is the National ETC Network Management Committee. Individual users applying for an ETC card need to bring their ID card, original and photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate to the bank to fill out the credit card proxy expressway non-stop toll collection application form. With the approved application form, bank card, and the aforementioned documents, they can then proceed to the management office to apply for the non-stop toll collection service. The ETC management department is primarily responsible for coordinating the nationwide expressway ETC network operation and management, formulating and revising the detailed implementation rules for the operation and service standards of the national toll expressway ETC network, reviewing the national expressway ETC network toll clearing and settlement and technical service agreements, guiding and coordinating the operation management of the network toll clearing and settlement, ensuring the stable and safe operation of the national toll network system, and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of relevant units and customers within the network area.

How Long is the Validity Period for New Vehicle Inspection?

For the first 6 years, new vehicles are exempt from inspection, but you must obtain a new annual inspection decal from the vehicle management office every 2 years, so the validity period on the vehicle registration certificate is also updated every 2 years. Simply prepare the relevant vehicle documents and go to the vehicle management office to receive the annual inspection decal without an inspection. After 6 years, an annual inspection is required, and after 15 years, inspections are required every 6 months. Additional information: Below are the relevant regulations for motor vehicle annual inspections: 1. Passenger vehicles for commercial use: Annual inspection within the first 5 years; after 5 years, inspection every 6 months; 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles: Annual inspection within the first 10 years; after 10 years, inspection every 6 months; 3. Small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles: Exempt from inspection for the first 6 years, apply for inspection decals every 2 years; starting from November 20, 2020, for vehicles over 6 but under 10 years old, the inspection frequency changes from annual to biennial; for vehicles over 10 years old, annual inspection is required; after 15 years, inspection every 6 months is required.

What are the reasons why a van cannot accelerate?

The reasons why a van cannot accelerate: 1. The throttle pedal is broken; 2. There is a problem with the pedal actuator; 3. There is an issue with the engine. An engine (Engine) is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (such as gasoline engines), external combustion engines (such as Stirling engines, steam engines), and electric motors. The throttle of a car engine is generally controlled by a pedal, also known as the accelerator pedal, which is a device for controlling the fuel supply of the engine. The operation of the throttle pedal should use the right heel placed on the floor of the driver's compartment as a fulcrum, with the sole gently pressing on the accelerator pedal, using the flexion and extension of the ankle joint to press down or release. When pressing or releasing the throttle pedal, the force should be gentle, ensuring a light press and slow release.

How to Shift Gears in an Automatic Transmission Car?

Methods for shifting gears in an automatic transmission car: Dual-clutch transmissions and manual-automatic transmissions allow gear shifts while driving. These transmissions have markings like S +/- or M +/- on the gear lever. When in D (Drive) mode, pulling the gear lever to the S (Sport) or M (Manual) position switches to manual mode. At this point, you can shift gears by pushing the gear lever up or down or using the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. An automatic transmission generally refers to a car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the transmission control system automatically selects the appropriate gear based on engine speed and load while driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and manual shifting operations. Typical automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low).

What Causes the Airbag Warning Light to Illuminate?

The reasons for the airbag warning light to illuminate: 1. Engine self-check - the indicator light will turn on when starting the car, but it will go off after the self-check is completed, typically within about 5 seconds. This is a normal phenomenon. If it remains on, it indicates a fault. 2. False fault - since the airbag is controlled by circuits, there are many reasons that can cause the airbag light to illuminate. For example, if the battery is severely depleted, the airbag may send a signal indicating low voltage in a specific airbag, generating a fault code. In such cases, clearing the fault code is sufficient. 3. Actual fault - this involves a variety of potential causes, such as airbag failure, clock spring failure, crash sensor failure, loose airbag connector, or circuit breakage. It is necessary to promptly use a diagnostic tool to read the fault code, identify the fault point based on the code, and resolve the issue.
