95# and 98# refer to the octane rating of gasoline. Here is the relevant information: 1. Gasoline: Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through distillation and cracking, used as fuel. It appears as a transparent liquid, is flammable, with a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C, and mainly consists of C5 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and naphthenes. 2. Difference: The higher the octane rating of gasoline, the better its stability. Some cars require 95 gasoline to prevent engine knocking, which is an abnormal combustion phenomenon in the engine. Knocking occurs during the compression stroke and is caused by insufficient stability of the gasoline.

What is Front Wheel Camber?

Camber is the angle of the wheel center plane relative to the vertical line of the ground. The front wheel camber can be adjusted in the following ways: 1. Check and adjust the tightness of the wheel hub bearing to meet the standard. 2. Check and replace the worn-out steering knuckle kingpin and its bushing. 3. Check and replace the steering knuckle with incorrect spindle angle. 4. If necessary, remove the front axle for deformation inspection and correction. 5. For the front wheel alignment of independent suspension, the wheel camber is adjusted by adding or removing shims between the upper arm shaft and the fixed frame as needed.

How to Use BMW M/S Mode?

The usage methods for BMW M/S mode are as follows: 1. How to use BMW S mode: When the gear lever is in D (Drive) mode, which is the forward driving mode, pushing the gear lever towards the driver's side engages the S (Sport) mode. The instrument cluster will display S1, S2, S3, etc., representing Sport Automatic Mode 1, Sport Automatic Mode 2, Sport Automatic Mode 3, and so on. The transmission still shifts automatically but delays shifting, requiring higher RPMs than in D mode before changing gears. 2. How to use BMW M mode: When in S mode, moving the gear lever up or down switches to M (Manual) mode. The instrument cluster will display M1, M2, M3, etc., indicating Manual Mode 1, Manual Mode 2, Manual Mode 3, etc. In manual mode, shifting gears requires manually pushing the gear lever forward or backward.

Why does Audi suddenly display low tire pressure?

Audi suddenly displays low tire pressure for the following reasons: If no visible damage is found, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is discovered upon inspection, drive to a tire shop promptly for repair, then reinflate the tire; If the low tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any punctures, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to inspect and replace the wheel rim. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction with the road surface leads to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and alignment issues, compromising driving safety; Increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of the cord and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim, resulting in bead damage and abnormal wear; Dramatically increases friction with the ground, rapidly raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may lead to a blowout; Increases tire body deformation, making the tire side prone to cracks, and generates flexing movement, leading to excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area with the ground, hastening shoulder wear.

How to Operate Cruise Control?

Cruise control operation method is as follows: 1. Activate cruise control: Press the control switch to activate cruise control standby mode, accelerate to the desired speed, then push the control lever downward to set the cruising speed. 2.

The cruise control buttons are located on the steering wheel. Here are the specific introductions: 1. "RES+" button: (Press once briefly) Directly use the last used cruising speed. (Press multiple times briefly) When already in cruise mode, each additional press increases the cruising speed by 2 km/h. 2. "SET—" button: (Press once briefly) Set the current speed as the cruising speed. (Press multiple times briefly) When already in cruise mode, each additional press decreases the cruising speed by 2 km/h. 3. Button with a large cross inside a dashboard icon: Cancel cruise (does not clear the set speed memory; you can directly press RES+ next time to recall the set speed). 4. Button with only a single line inside a dashboard icon: Turn on/off cruise (will clear the set speed memory).

How to Repair a Broken Rearview Mirror Pivot?

If the pivot of the rearview mirror is broken, the following materials can be used for repair: strong double-sided tape specifically designed for rearview mirrors; AB adhesive for rearview mirrors; invisible glue; UV glue. These materials can effectively bond plastic and metal. Regardless of the adhesive chosen, it is important to clean any residual glue from the rearview mirror before application and avoid hanging overly heavy objects during regular use. Below are some relevant details: 1. Repair considerations: Generally, the rearview mirror pivot is made of plastic, which can easily break under improper force. Although it can be temporarily fixed with glue, the repair may not last long, and the strength cannot be guaranteed. 2. Solution for a broken left pivot: If the left pivot of the rearview mirror is broken, it usually cannot be repaired and needs to be replaced. Replacing the entire assembly at a 4S shop can cost anywhere from a few hundred to a thousand yuan, and insurance may cover the expense. 3. Other potential issues with rearview mirrors: Besides pivot damage, rearview mirrors may also encounter other problems, such as scratches or paint peeling on the mirror housing; shattered mirror surface; or severe damage to the mirror housing.
