What Causes BMW Active Steering Control Failure?

Will the 4S store replace the new car's headlights if there is water mist?

If the vehicle is still under warranty, you can request the 4S store to replace the headlights. Below is relevant information: 1. Influencing factors: Headlights are not consumables like tires or engine oil. If a new car's headlights have water mist, it must be a quality issue. There is a ventilation and heat dissipation rubber tube at the rear cover position of the headlight structure. If the rubber tube is not properly sealed, water droplets may appear, and in severe cases, water accumulation in the headlight may occur. This problem is most common in winter and the rainy season. 2. Reasons for water mist: If the water mist is slight, it is not a quality issue. Since the working temperature of xenon lamps can reach over 300 degrees, the gas inside the headlight expands when the light is turned off and cools down, creating a pressure difference that draws external water vapor into the headlight, forming the visible water mist. This slight water mist can be dried by turning on the headlights and using the heat from the light to evaporate the mist inside the headlight. Alternatively, placing several more drying packets inside the headlight can help prevent mist formation.

What are the differences between Outlander 4WD and SAWC?

Here are the differences between Outlander 4WD and SAWC: 1. Configuration: SAWC originates from the legendary 10th-generation EVO and is a rally-level four-wheel drive system. It features electronic torque distribution between the left and right wheels, making it more advanced than 4WD. It is more suitable for speed enthusiasts and offers slight improvements in off-road performance, though not a qualitative change. 2. Four-wheel drive: Outlander's 4WD has a unique characteristic compared to other vehicles in its class—the four-wheel drive is always engaged. Even in the lowest ECO mode, the four-wheel drive cannot be turned off; it only intelligently adjusts the level of intervention. 3. Highway on/off ramps: When navigating highway on/off ramps (especially in rainy or snowy conditions), SAWC ensures the vehicle can take curves at higher speeds with greater safety and provides better control over body roll and skidding.

How long can a flood-damaged car be driven before problems arise?

Generally, it can be driven for three to four years without major issues, but this depends on the vehicle's condition. Below are relevant details: 1. Severity: The seriousness of flood damage depends on the water submersion height and whether the vehicle was started while submerged. 2. Below the seats: If water only reached below the seats, which is below the vehicle's air intake, as well as the fuse box and dashboard, thorough cleaning will result in relatively minor impact on the vehicle. 3. Cleaning: During cleaning, it is necessary to replace transmission fluid, engine oil, and brake fluid, as well as clean and maintain the vehicle's braking system, exhaust pipe, and catalytic converter to further minimize the long-term effects of flood damage on the vehicle's performance.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Dodge Journey 2.4L?

The Dodge Journey 2.4L is equipped with a 170 horsepower engine, with an official fuel consumption of 9.6L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of the Dodge Journey 2.4L is 78L. With a full tank, it can travel a distance of 78/9.6*100=812.5km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
