A triangle with an exclamation mark indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's regular performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. Solution: It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault indicator in vehicles. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation marks: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow light bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a malfunction in the transmission or transmission fluid level below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Tire pressure abnormality: A bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light turns on when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow light bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.

Is the Annual Inspection Label Still Required in 2021?

No. Starting from June 2020, China has implemented the digitization of annual inspection labels nationwide, combining the vehicle annual inspection and environmental protection test labels into one. As long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection, there is no need to obtain an environmental protection label separately. Detailed information is as follows: 1. Digitization of Annual Inspection Labels: The electronic inspection certificate has the same legal effect as the paper certificate. Vehicles that have obtained the electronic inspection certificate no longer need to display a paper label, and traffic authorities will not penalize vehicles for not displaying (or pasting) the inspection label. The electronic inspection certificate can be downloaded and saved on a mobile phone for offline presentation when needed. 2. Expanded Exemption Scope: Non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats within 6 years are now included in the exemption scope. For non-operational mini and small passenger vehicles over 6 years but under 10 years, the inspection frequency is reduced from once a year to once every two years. As long as it is a private car with 9 seats or fewer, it does not require on-site inspection within 6 years. After exceeding 6 years, private cars with 9 seats or fewer within 10 years will have their inspection frequency relaxed from once a year to once every two years.

Which mode is the most fuel-efficient for the BMW X1?

The BMW X1's ECO mode is the most fuel-efficient. The BMW X1 offers three driving modes: ECO, Comfort, and Sport. The ECO mode can still be somewhat effective in traffic jams. Below are the specific details: 1. ECO Mode: In this mode, the vehicle's computer limits fuel injection and controls the transmission's shifting logic. Simply put, the vehicle's full power is restrained; when the driver presses the accelerator, the power doesn't come on immediately but instead accelerates gradually. 2. Sport Mode: The transmission shifts gears only when the engine reaches higher RPMs, ensuring the vehicle maintains strong performance. The most noticeable effect is the enhanced push-back feeling, allowing the driver to experience the vehicle's explosive power. However, the increased performance inevitably leads to higher fuel consumption and greater wear on the transmission and engine. Sport mode also has an additional benefit: it helps clear carbon deposits from the engine. 3. Comfort Mode: The suspension becomes softer and more linear, the steering response improves, and the vehicle's stability is further enhanced. Passing over speed bumps or sudden acceleration or braking feels more comfortable compared to Normal mode. Torque output is smoother, reducing much of the jerky sensation.

Which button is the air recirculation on the BMW X1?

The air recirculation button on the BMW X1 is the 'M' button. Here are the relevant details: 1. Air Recirculation: This mode closes the air conditioning system's connection to outside air and only circulates the air inside the vehicle. When the recirculation light is off, it indicates the external circulation mode. If the air inside the car becomes stale, you can activate the external circulation function, as it serves to ventilate the cabin. 2. Additional Information: BMW vehicles are equipped with a toxic gas detection sensor located outside the car, next to the outdoor air filter. When excessive carbon monoxide or other toxic gases are detected, the system automatically switches to recirculation mode to prevent these harmful gases from entering the vehicle.
