As a first-time driver of the BMW X5, I found starting it quite straightforward: First, sit comfortably and fasten the seatbelt. Then, press the brake pedal and push the start button to ignite the engine. Next, shift into D gear (automatic transmission is super convenient), gently release the brake, and the car will start moving slowly. If the initial speed feels too slow, just lightly press the accelerator to pick up speed. Important reminder: Always check the rearview mirrors to ensure safety around you, especially in parking lots or crowded areas. The BMW X5's power delivery is very smooth, so don’t panic at first—just get familiar with it after a few tries. Also, remember to check the tires and lights before starting to avoid any surprises.

What are the precautions for stopping and taking the card in Subject 2?

Here are the precautions for stopping and taking the card in Subject 2: 1. Avoid crossing the line: When entering the stop-and-take-card section, in addition to looking at the front of the car and aligning the body, you should also pay attention to the rearview mirror to prevent the rear wheels from crossing the line. 2. Find the right position: During the test, control the speed, find the correct stopping position, and stop in time. Otherwise, if you miss the correct position, you will not be able to take the card (swipe the card), or if you reverse to adjust, you will fail. 3. Control the distance: Just like parallel parking, the stopping position for stopping and taking the card must also be controlled well. You cannot cross the line, but you cannot be too far away either. If it exceeds 50cm, you will lose 100 points.

Installing a shark fin on a car can enhance signal reception. Functional shark fin antennas need to be connected to the car's internal wiring and can integrate various powerful automotive electronic functions such as FM, GPS, and GSM, replacing and surpassing traditional rod antennas.
