The speed ranges for each gear in a car are as follows: 1. 1st gear: Below 20 km/h, shift to 2nd gear at 15-18 km/h. 2. 2nd gear: Below 30 km/h, shift to 3rd gear at 25-28 km/h. 3. 3rd gear: Below 30 km/h, shift to 4th gear at 35-38 km/h. 4. 4th gear: Below 50 km/h, shift to 5th gear at around 48 km/h. 5. 5th gear: Above 50 km/h. 6. R gear: Reverse gear. 7. Upshifting: During the break-in period, shift at 2200-2500 RPM by checking the left tachometer. After the break-in period, shift at 3000 RPM, which can be reduced to 2500 RPM for city driving.

What is the reason for the ticking sound after parking?

The reason for the ticking sound after parking is: the exhaust pipe cools down from hot to cold, which is a normal phenomenon. The steps for parking an automatic transmission vehicle are: 1. After reaching the parking spot, press the brake until the vehicle comes to a complete stop; 2. Shift the gear lever into N (neutral) without releasing the brake; 3. Engage the handbrake and release the foot brake; 4. After the vehicle is fully stopped, press the brake again, shift into P (park), and then exit the vehicle and lock it. The steps for parking a manual transmission vehicle are: 1. Turn on the right or left turn signal; 2. Gently press the brake to reduce speed and observe the right-side rearview mirror while driving to the right; 3. When the speed is sufficiently low, press the clutch pedal and pay attention to the surrounding distance when parking; 4. After the vehicle comes to a complete stop, shift into neutral, turn off the turn signal, engage the handbrake, and turn off the engine.

Do You Need to Press the Brake When Shifting from S to D Gear?

Shifting from S gear to D gear does not require pressing the brake, and the same applies when shifting from D gear to S gear. Most automatic transmission models have an L gear or M gear on the transmission. L, M, and D gears belong to the same gear position, indicating acceleration. Shifting from S to D gear already reduces speed, and braking at this time can cause some wear and tear on the transmission. You can directly move the lever to complete the gear shift. Automatic transmission cars generally use uppercase English letters to represent gear positions. When the car is at different speeds, you need to "shift gears," meaning selecting different gear combinations to output power. Below is a detailed introduction to each gear position: P gear: Parking means "stopping." It is the parking gear, used when parking. When you reach your destination or need to park for a long time, shift the lever into this position. Note: You must ensure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting into P gear. Shifting into P gear before the vehicle is fully stopped can cause partial mechanical damage to the automatic transmission. When in P gear, the wheels are mechanically locked, preventing the vehicle from moving forward or backward. Therefore, you must shift into P gear when parking on a slope. Additionally, during short stops (such as at traffic lights), it is best not to shift into P gear to avoid severe damage to the entire transmission in case of a rear-end collision. R gear: Reverse means "turning back." Whether it's a manual or automatic transmission, R is the reverse gear. Shifting into R gear makes the car move backward. You can only shift into this gear when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is idling. Never use R gear when the car is moving forward, and pay special attention to accelerator control when reversing. N gear: Neutral means "in the middle," also known as the neutral gear. At traffic lights, you can shift into this gear and press the brake. If the waiting time is longer, it is recommended to pull the handbrake, allowing your foot to leave the brake pedal for a short rest. Many people have a misconception that shifting into N gear while coasting downhill or at high speed can save fuel. This is a serious mistake. Not only does it not save fuel, but it can also damage the transmission. S gear: Sport means "sport" in cars, indicating the sport gear. When shifting into this gear, the transmission delays gear shifts to provide more power, generally used when overtaking. M gear: Manual means "hand control" in cars, indicating the manual mode. Similar to manual transmission cars, it requires manual gear shifting. L gear: Low means "low speed" in cars, indicating the low-speed forward gear. When shifting into this gear, the transmission only operates in low gear (equivalent to first gear in manual transmissions) and does not automatically shift to other gears based on speed changes. This gear is generally used when climbing or descending slopes. In low gear, the driving wheels output more torque, providing sufficient power to climb steep slopes. Prolonged braking can cause the brake pads to overheat and reduce braking effectiveness, which is very dangerous on long or steep descents. In such cases, you can shift into L gear, using the engine's low speed to restrain the vehicle's movement, eliminating the need for constant braking. D gear: Drive means "driving." Shifting into this gear and pressing the accelerator allows the car to move. In this gear, the transmission automatically shifts based on speed and accelerator conditions. At traffic lights, you can stay in D gear and press the brake. If the waiting time is short, this is fine, but if it is longer, it can raise the transmission oil temperature and degrade the oil quality.

Where is the oil filler cap located on a BMW?

Open the driver's side door. Pull the hood release lever located on the left side of the driver's leg area. Lift the engine hood upwards. Use the support rod to secure the hood in place, ensuring it's firmly supported to prevent any hazards. Here's some additional information: The function of engine oil: The engine is the heart of a car, containing many metal surfaces that rub against each other during operation. These components move at high speeds in harsh environments, with working temperatures reaching 400°C to 600°C. Under such extreme conditions, only qualified lubricating oil can reduce engine component wear and extend service life.
