COM in a car refers to the serial communication port. Here are the meanings of other buttons in a car: 1. SRC: SRC stands for Synchronous Remote Control, which is the source selection key used to switch between CD/USB/radio/Bluetooth audio, or to switch between songs and radio stations. It functions like a remote control and is usually located on the multifunction steering wheel. 2. Auto: In car button labels, Auto represents the automatic function. Generally, there are two positions labeled with Auto in a car: one is the automatic air conditioning button, and the other is the Auto position on the automatic headlight knob. The Auto button for automatic air conditioning is located on the central dashboard, on the air conditioning control panel. Pressing this button will activate the automatic air conditioning.

Regarding the 'com' on a car, usually found on the air conditioning panel, 'com' stands for comfort mode. It is an intelligent function of the air conditioning system. After pressing this button, the system automatically adjusts the temperature, fan speed, and airflow direction inside the car without requiring manual intervention. This design is based on data collected by sensors inside and outside the vehicle, such as external sunlight intensity or temperature changes. It calculates and optimizes parameters in real-time to ensure the cabin maintains the most comfortable constant temperature. For example, on a scorching summer day, pressing 'com' will cause the air conditioning to rapidly cool the cabin before adjusting to a suitable airflow, avoiding direct blasts that might cause discomfort. This feature is installed in most modern cars, enhancing driving convenience and allowing more focus on road conditions. If a car does not have automatic air conditioning, the 'com' mode will not function, so it's important to check the vehicle's configuration before purchasing or using it.

Why doesn't Hong Kong switch to right-hand traffic?

Hong Kong's urban roads are narrow, with many being one-way lanes. If the traffic direction were to be changed, a large amount of infrastructure would need to be modified, which would indeed be quite challenging. Here is relevant information about Hong Kong's left-hand traffic: 1. Historical reasons: Since Hong Kong was a British colony from 1842 to 1997, and vehicles in Britain also drive on the left, Hong Kong adopted left-hand traffic rules. 2. Traffic rules: After Hong Kong's return in 1997, the mainland and Hong Kong adopted a "one country, two systems" approach to road traffic issues. Mainland vehicles entering Hong Kong must follow Hong Kong's left-hand traffic rules. Conversely, Hong Kong vehicles entering the mainland must also follow local customs.

What causes the car's anti-skid light to frequently illuminate?

When the anti-skid light illuminates, it indicates that the ESP is turned off or malfunctioning. The reasons affecting the activation of the anti-skid system light include the following aspects: 1. Accidentally pressing the ESP off button; 2. Loose or faulty sensor connectors; 3. Short circuit in the wiring; 4. Software issues causing poor signal transmission; 5. ABS pump failure. If the ESP off button was accidentally pressed, simply turning it back on will eliminate the anti-skid light; 6. If the anti-skid light is caused by sensor failure, short circuit in the wiring, blown fuse, poor signal transmission, ABS pump failure, etc., the only solution is to visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair.

What Causes the Car Body to Shake After Starting?

Here are the reasons why the car body shakes after starting: 1. Unstable oil pressure—abnormal fuel pump supply pressure or incorrect readings from the intake pressure sensor can cause the car body to shake. Solution: Check the oil pressure and replace components if necessary; 2. Aging engine components—if the engine mounts are faulty, vibrations can be transmitted to the steering wheel and cabin, causing shaking at idle. Solution: Replace the components; 3. A common cause is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector can be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and difficulty starting. Solution: Clean the fuel system and remove carbon deposits from the idle control valve.

How to Use BMW's Internal and External Air Circulation?

BMW's internal and external air circulation usage is as follows: 1: Internal Circulation: Refers to the air blown by the blower circulating only inside the vehicle, somewhat similar to blowing an electric fan with the door closed. Since no external air is involved, internal circulation has the advantages of fuel efficiency and rapid cooling. However, for this very reason, the air inside the vehicle does not get refreshed. 2: External Circulation: The most notable feature of the car's external air circulation is its ability to maintain the freshness of the air inside the vehicle. This is because external circulation draws air from outside the vehicle and blows it inside. Due to this characteristic, the cooling effect of external circulation is not as pronounced.
