Here are the reasons why the BMW 5 Series air conditioning may not blow air: 1. Blower motor failure: The blower motor is the core component responsible for air output in the air conditioning system. If it is damaged, the car's air conditioning will inevitably stop blowing air. Blower motor failure may be caused by overheating damage to internal coils or capacitor failure. You can check for faults by turning the car's air conditioning speed and airflow to maximum and listening for the blower motor sound. If a fault is detected, it needs to be repaired at a 4S shop or repair shop. 2. Clogged air filter: A clogged air filter is one of the causes of blocked air ducts and the most common one. Outside air passes through the air filter before entering the car, which adsorbs many airborne particles and is prone to clogging. You can remove the air filter to check if it is clean and clean it if dirty.

How to Reactivate ETC After Unplugging?

ETC Activation Method: Insert and remove the ETC card twice consecutively until the electronic tag screen displays "Bluetooth is on". If "Tag Invalid" appears when inserting and removing twice without the electronic tag attached, this is normal and does not affect activation. Alternatively, you can directly press the button on top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth. Turn on your phone's Bluetooth, open the corresponding mobile APP (usually there is a download QR code on the electronic tag), and enter the device activation interface. Click on device connection and wait patiently for the "Connection Successful" prompt. After successful connection, upload a photo of the vehicle's front to complete activation. ETC Working Principle: Through dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, using computer networking technology to perform background settlement processing with the bank, the system achieves the purpose of allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the highway or bridge fees.

What does EPS displayed in the car mean?

When EPS is displayed in the car, it indicates that the electronic stability system has malfunctioned or been turned off. The full English name of EPS is Electronic-Power-Steering, which refers to electronic power steering. It uses the power generated by an electric motor to assist the driver in power steering. Here is some relevant information about EPS: 1. The composition of EPS: Although the structural components may vary among different vehicles, they are generally similar. It typically consists of a torque (steering) sensor, electronic control unit, electric motor, reducer, mechanical steering gear, and battery power source. 2. When a car is in motion, it is subjected to lateral and longitudinal forces. If the lateral force is too great, the steering force can be significantly reduced, making it easy to lose control. EPS improves this situation by independently braking each wheel and managing the engine system based on CPU calculations when the vehicle shows signs of instability, ensuring driving safety.

Where to Apply for Vehicle ETC?

ETC can be applied for at bank branches, highway service areas, and other institutions. The application requires the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID must also be provided. The photocopy of the vehicle license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a Postal Savings credit card application form is required, as the credit card will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, two POS transaction slips are needed to collect and install the ETC onboard device for free at designated Postal Savings outlets, with no additional charges incurred. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle in their name. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection. The application requires the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID must also be provided. The photocopy of the vehicle license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway toll fees is also required. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle in their name. Here are some considerations for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the driver's view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror. Many vehicle models have steeply angled windshields, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. Installing the ETC without considering this can increase blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, avoid installing it on the blackened areas of the windshield or in positions that might block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The adhesive in the middle has an anti-tamper rod connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the rod in. If the tag is removed, the rod will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. Unlocking requires visiting an ETC service point. This feature prevents multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Notes for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To avoid paying for the vehicle ahead due to its faulty ETC device, maintain a distance of at least 10 meters. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at speeds of up to 20 km/h; exceeding this speed may result in failed deductions. Using a debit card with insufficient balance will also cause deduction failures.

How to Adjust the Rearview Mirrors for Subject Two?

Method for adjusting the rearview mirrors in Subject Two: In the mirror image, the sky, ground, and car body should be divided in a certain proportion. 1. Left rearview mirror: In the mirror image of the left rearview mirror, adjust vertically so that the ground and sky each occupy half, and adjust horizontally so that the car body occupies 1/4, ensuring the lowest point of the wheel and its contact with the ground are visible. 2. Right rearview mirror: In the mirror image, adjust vertically so that the sky occupies 1/4 and the ground occupies 3/4, and adjust horizontally the same as the left rearview mirror, occupying 1/4. Functions of the rearview mirrors: 1. Observing road conditions: While driving, the driver can observe the road conditions on both sides through the rearview mirrors to perform operations such as lane changes and overtaking. 2. Reference points: During operations like parallel parking or reversing into a parking space, reference points can be observed through the rearview mirrors.

How to Remove Oxidation Layer on Car Paint?

Methods to remove the oxidation layer on car paint include: repainting, waxing, glazing, and coating. The causes of oxidation layer formation are: 1. Increasing chemical substances in the air that oxidize the car paint surface; 2. Acid rain and exposure to ultraviolet rays in hot weather; 3. Long-term attachment of dust; 4. Oxidation caused by insect remains, bird droppings, tree sap, and oil fumes. Car paint refers to the coating on the car's paint surface, which involves applying a thin film to protect the glossiness of the paint from fading and to provide a physical protective layer for the paint surface.
