How many kilometers can a BMW drive after the maintenance light comes on?

BMW can still drive 500 kilometers after the maintenance light comes on. Reasons why it can still drive: When the vehicle maintenance light comes on, it has no impact on driving safety. It only reminds the owner that it's time for maintenance based on time or mileage. After the car is maintained, the maintenance light can be turned off, and the count can be reset. Precautions for vehicle driving: Ensure that seat belts are fastened while driving. Do not treat seat belts as decorations or just for inspection purposes. In the event of an accident, seat belts may become the only lifesaving condition. Avoid driving while fatigued. If you feel sleepy, find a place to rest first. Stay focused while driving and avoid playing with your phone while driving, as many accidents happen in an instant.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise in Volkswagen Fuel Pump?

Volkswagen fuel pump abnormal noise may be caused by insufficient fuel in the tank or long-term non-replacement of the fuel filter. Below is a detailed analysis of the reasons: Insufficient fuel in the tank: When the fuel level warning light on the dashboard illuminates, there are approximately 7 liters of fuel remaining in the tank, and the fuel level is roughly at the red line shown in the figure. Due to the low fuel level, the fuel pump motor does not receive adequate cooling and lubrication, leading to overheating or even stalling. If the fuel pump frequently operates under such conditions, premature damage is inevitable. Long-term non-replacement of the fuel filter: If the fuel filter has not been replaced for a long time, the fuel supply system can become severely clogged, forcing the fuel pump to work harder and remain under high load for extended periods, ultimately causing damage to the fuel pump.

Which color is the most popular for the BMW 5 Series

The BMW 5 Series features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension, with a ground clearance of 149mm. Below is an introduction to the minimum ground clearance: Definition: Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the vehicle is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and stumps without collision. Impact on driving: The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability; the smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.

Why can't the Ant be locked?

If the Ant can't be locked, it may be due to loose screws or a problem with the car lock. Here are the detailed explanations for the reasons: Detailed explanation for loose screws: If the screws are loose, remove the hinges on the door and reinstall them, preferably replacing the top hinge as it may have been pulled loose. Shake the door to check if it's loose. If the lower part of the door doesn't rub against the ground and doesn't get stuck, reinstall the latch side. If the door won't close because the two parts of the lock can't engage, remove the latch side, align it with the other side, reinstall it, and then pull. Problem with the car lock: If the car door can't be closed after washing the car, it's likely due to an issue with the hinge or the car lock. In this case, it's necessary to go to a professional repair shop for maintenance.

Does the BMW 5 Series cigarette lighter continue to supply power after the engine is turned off?

After the BMW 5 Series is turned off, the car will maintain basic power supply for a certain period of time. Power supply for electronic car accessories: Many electronic car accessories draw power from the cigarette lighter, designed with a cigarette lighter-shaped plug, such as dash cams, phone chargers, radar detectors, car vacuum cleaners, etc. For electrical devices used in the car, they operate at 12V, and the cigarette lighter can output exactly 12 volts. Some cars also have USB ports available, while others only have the cigarette lighter for power. Cigarette lighter power failure: When the cigarette lighter has no power, the issue is mostly due to a blown fuse, and occasionally problems with the cigarette lighter socket. Some cars frequently experience blown fuses. The fuse blowing is related to the electrical device being used. Either the device's power is relatively high, exceeding the fuse's current rating during operation.
