I drive an older BMW 5 Series, and based on experience, its factory-installed batteries are mostly from Varta or Bosch, both of which are quite reliable in performance. However, the brand may vary depending on the year and configuration. For example, some owners report that ACDelco batteries also work well. The key when replacing the battery is to check the CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) value, which represents the cold-start current, ensuring it matches the original specifications. I remember when my battery died last time, the car had trouble starting, and after a long inspection, it turned out the electrode terminals were oxidized. It’s good practice to clean the terminals regularly and have a battery test every two years. In the BMW 5 Series, the battery is located either in the trunk or under the hood, making it a bit tricky to replace on your own. I recommend getting help from a professional shop and avoiding cheap, off-brand batteries to prevent getting stranded on the highway due to a dead battery.

What to Do When the Solar-Powered ETC Device Runs Out of Power?

Solutions for ETC power failure: Park the car under direct sunlight for a period to allow the solar charging panel of the ETC device to recharge. Alternatively, take the ETC device to an ETC service point or the original application office for inspection. If the device is within the 2-year warranty period and the damage is not caused by human factors, a free replacement may be provided. ETC Usage Precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters to prevent automatic payment for the preceding vehicle, especially if it has a faulty ETC device or none at all. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20 km/h. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and unsuccessful toll deduction. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag becomes loose or detached, may cause the tag to deactivate. Take it to the bank where the ETC card was issued or a highway service center for inspection. If the issue is not due to human interference, reactivation may be sufficient. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may lead to failed toll deductions. Follow the instructions of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pay via cash or card. Thick car windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those with modified front windshields.

Where to Collect the Annual Vehicle Inspection Sticker?

New vehicles can collect their annual inspection stickers at the local vehicle management office. After completing the annual inspection at the vehicle management office, the inspection sticker will be issued. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Inspection Materials: Before the annual inspection, ensure all traffic violations are settled and fines paid. Bring the vehicle's registration certificate, a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the owner's ID card for the inspection. When purchasing compulsory traffic insurance for the vehicle, you can directly use the copy of the insurance policy to apply for the inspection exemption procedure. The compulsory traffic insurance also includes the record of the vehicle and vessel tax. Note: Do not leave the original insurance policy with the vehicle management office, as it is needed for future insurance claims. 2. Vehicle Annual Inspection: The vehicle annual inspection (or motor vehicle inspection) refers to the annual examination of vehicles that have already been issued with official license plates and registration certificates, conducted in accordance with the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." The purpose is to check the main technical conditions of the vehicle, encourage enhanced maintenance, ensure the vehicle remains in good condition, and guarantee driving safety.

What are the functions of a crankshaft?

The function of the crankshaft is to convert the thrust transmitted from the piston connecting rod into rotational torque, transforming the reciprocating linear motion of the piston into the circular rotational motion of the crankshaft. It then delivers the engine torque to the transmission system via the flywheel, while also driving the engine's valve train and other auxiliary devices. Here is additional information: 1. Composition of the crankshaft: The crankshaft mainly consists of the front end shaft, main journal, connecting rod journal, crank, counterweight, and rear end flange. It possesses sufficient rigidity and strength, as well as good ability to withstand impact loads. 2. Working principle of the crankshaft: The crankshaft is the most critical component in an engine. During engine operation, the piston is driven by the combustion of the compressed air-fuel mixture to perform linear motion, and the force is transmitted to the crankshaft via the connecting rod. The crankshaft then converts this linear motion into rotational motion. The rotation of the crankshaft serves as the power source of the engine and the driving force for the entire mechanical system.

What are the precautions for safe driving in rainy weather?

Safe driving in rainy weather requires maintaining good visibility, preventing tire side-slip, driving slowly, reducing fog generation, mastering water wading techniques, paying attention to following distance, observing pedestrians, and turning on lights promptly. Here is more relevant information: 1. Water wading techniques: Exercise caution when driving on roads with standing water, generally proceeding straight at low speed without stopping arbitrarily. If the water level exceeds the exhaust pipe, detour is necessary. 2. Observing pedestrians: Pedestrians' visibility is also inevitably affected in rainy weather. When driving, special attention must be paid to observing pedestrians to avoid traffic accidents. Do not compete with pedestrians for right of way, yield appropriately, observe pedestrian movements to prevent last-minute panic slips. If avoiding is inconvenient, stop and wait. Pay attention to standing water, pass slowly without splashing water on pedestrians.

How are subsidies for new energy vehicles provided?

New energy vehicle subsidy collection: Both national and local subsidies are advanced by dealers, who then submit the relevant documents of car buyers to government departments for approval and reimbursement. Therefore, consumers only need to pay the price after deducting the dual subsidies when purchasing new energy electric vehicles. After completing the tax payment certificate, the car owner needs to take photos of the four documents—original invoice, vehicle license, motor vehicle registration certificate, and tax payment certificate—and send them to the 4S store. There are three forms for private purchase and use of new energy vehicles: 1. Direct purchase: The central government provides subsidies to automobile manufacturers, who then sell new energy vehicles to private users at the price after deducting the subsidies. 2. Whole vehicle leasing: The central government provides subsidies to automobile manufacturers, who then sell new energy vehicles to leasing companies at the price after deducting the subsidies. 3. Battery leasing: The central government provides subsidies to battery leasing companies, which then lease new energy vehicle batteries to private users at the price after deducting the subsidies, while also providing services such as battery maintenance, repair, and replacement.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise During Cold Start?

The abnormal noise during cold start is caused by: the lack of lubrication in the starter's internal gears, which affects their timely retraction. Here are more related details: 1. Causes: When starting the engine, the starter rotates to drive the flywheel, thereby starting the engine. At this point, the engine's speed is driven by the starter, so the engine speed is lower than that of the starter. Once the engine starts and its speed exceeds the starter's speed, the operator manually turns off the ignition switch to cut the power, shutting down the starter. Due to dirt buildup inside the starter and the failure of lubricating oil, the engine forces the starter to rotate at its own speed. Since there is a speed difference between the two, this results in the starter producing noise. 2. Solutions to Eliminate the Noise: The noise will only stop once the starter reaches the same temperature as the engine. However, in severe cases, the noise occurs every time the engine is started. To remove this noise, cleaning and maintaining the starter or replacing it entirely will suffice.
