High beam refers to the main headlights, while low beam refers to the dipped headlights. Below is relevant information about automotive headlights: Introduction to automotive headlights: Automotive headlights, also known as vehicle front lights or LED daytime running lights, serve as the 'eyes' of a car. They not only affect the external appearance of a vehicle but are also crucial for safe driving at night or under adverse weather conditions. The use and maintenance of car lights should not be overlooked. History of automotive headlights: The first automotive headlight was essentially a household handheld lamp. In 1887, when a driver got lost in a dark wilderness, a farmer guided him home using a handheld lamp. In 1988, an American company introduced parabolic reflectors for headlights, sidelights, and taillights.

How to Deal with the Noise from the 5 Series Sunroof?

You can use a towel to remove dust from the sunroof gap, and regular maintenance is very important. Here is some relevant information about the BMW 5 Series sunroof: 1. Introduction: The BMW 5 Series panoramic sunroof is divided into a dual-panel panoramic sunroof and a spliced panoramic sunroof. Dual-panel panoramic sunroof: On the top of the front seats, there is still a standard sunroof like an ordinary one, and then on the top of the rear seats, the designer adds another non-opening sunroof, which can bring more light into the car, achieving an effect similar to a panoramic sunroof. Spliced panoramic sunroof: It consists of two sunroofs, front and rear, but the two sunroofs overlap slightly, resembling a single unit. The sunroof area is large, so this type of sunroof can also be classified as an integrated openable panoramic sunroof. 2. Maintenance Suggestions: The sunroof sealing strip is exposed to rain or sunlight for a long time and is prone to aging. Rubber conditioner can temporarily restore the performance of the sealing strip. That is, open the sunroof fully and spray the conditioner on the sealing strip.

How Often Should Fuel Additives Be Added?

Currently, there is no specific time frame for adding fuel additives. Generally, it is recommended to add fuel additives every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers. The functions of fuel additives include removing carbon deposits, reducing fuel consumption, and restoring engine power. Fuel additives are a type of automotive chemical and are commonly referred to as the third generation of gasoline detergents. They can quickly restore engine performance, compensate for certain deficiencies in gasoline properties, and impart new beneficial characteristics to gasoline. Since direct injection systems spray gasoline directly into the combustion chamber, only PEA (polyether amine) additives can withstand such high-temperature and high-pressure environments without forming deposits.

Is the Brake on the Left or Right?

The brake is in the middle. For automatic transmission vehicles, the right pedal is the accelerator, the middle is the brake pedal, and the left is the parking brake pedal. For manual transmission vehicles, the right pedal is the accelerator, the middle is the brake pedal, and the left is the clutch pedal. From a professional driving perspective, both the accelerator and brake must be controlled with one foot. When braking, the accelerator must be released, and when accelerating, the brake is naturally not pressed. Automatic transmission cars only use one foot, typically the right foot, to control. It is prohibited to use the left foot for braking and the right foot for accelerating. For safety reasons, avoid pressing the accelerator while braking to prevent misoperation.

Can I drive on the highway with a tire pressure of 2.1?

A tire pressure of 2.1 is not suitable for highway driving. The normal tire pressure for cars is around 2.2 to 2.5 bar. A pressure of 2.1 is relatively low compared to the standard value. When the tire pressure is too low, it increases the deformation of the tire body, making the tire sidewalls more prone to cracking. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire and is essentially the 'blood pressure' of the car. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. Tire pressure is the lifeline of the tire; both too high and too low pressures can shorten the tire's lifespan. Low tire pressure causes the tire body to undergo excessive flexing, leading to overheating, which accelerates rubber aging, fatigue in the fabric layers, and breakage of the cords. It also increases the tire's contact area with the road, speeding up wear on the tire shoulders. Conversely, excessively high tire pressure overstretches the tire cords, reduces the elasticity of the tire body, and increases the load on the car while driving. In case of impact, this can lead to internal cracks or even blowouts. High pressure also accelerates wear on the tire tread and reduces puncture resistance.
