The 'set' button on a car is the speed setting switch, which is the cruise speed control indicator. When you want to set the cruise speed, accelerate the car to the desired speed and press the 'set' button. The car speed usually needs to be greater than 30 miles per hour at this time. When using cruise speed control, stepping on the brake will stop the cruise speed control function. Cruise Control: It is generally used on highways or fully enclosed roads, where using cruise control is more convenient and can make driving more relaxed. If cruise control is used on some congested roads, repeated braking cannot maintain a stable cruise control state, losing the meaning of cruise control. Do not use cruise control on rainy or snowy days, as the roads are relatively slippery, and using cruise control rashly may cause side-slip phenomena, compromising driving safety. Precautions: Do not use cruise control on winding or excessively curved mountain roads. If cruise control is used on curved roads, driving safety cannot be guaranteed. In cruise control mode, the vehicle automatically maintains a constant speed, and the throttle is controlled by the car's computer, which often poses dangers when driving on curves. The driver needs to have flexible control over the car.

How to Apply Color Change Film to BMW 1 Series?

Here is a detailed introduction on how to apply color change film to BMW 1 Series: 1. Color change film material. The color change film uses high-density vinyl film, which can adhere to the car body surface on top of the original paint, providing protection. Removing the film restores the original color. Additionally, the color change film not only allows for single-color coverage but also enables dual-color and multi-color splicing, and even supports custom painting to create various patterns. Importantly, the color change film isolates the car paint from the air, effectively preventing acid-base corrosion and oxidation. 2. Functions of car body film. (1) Adds a protective layer to the car body, shielding the paint from sun, rain, and scratches from sand and stones. The color change film fully covers the car paint, isolating it from the external environment and protecting it from acid rain, UV rays, bird droppings, and tree resin. It also prevents scratches and wear from stones and dust. (2) Preserves the original paint color and gloss, slowing down aging and keeping the car looking new, thereby maintaining its value. Under the cover of the color change film, the car body remains fully protected from external damage. Even after several years, removing the film reveals the original paint still bright and new. (3) Eliminates the need for waxing, glazing, or coating. Simple cleaning is sufficient for long-term maintenance. Once the color change film is applied, regular basic cleaning is all that’s needed for comprehensive upkeep.

Why are some car license plates green?

Some license plates are green because: Green license plates are a new type of plate specially designed by the state for easier differentiated management, used to quickly distinguish between traditional fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles. The format of green new energy license plates is: regional abbreviation plus area code letter plus pure electric or hybrid letter plus numbers. For small new energy vehicles, the first character of the special license plate uses the letters D or F (D represents pure electric new energy vehicles, F represents plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles, which are non-pure electric new energy vehicles). For large new energy vehicles, the sixth character of the special license plate uses the letters D or F (D and F represent the same vehicle types as those for small new energy vehicle special license plates).

Is the MG 5 a three-cylinder or four-cylinder engine?

MG 5 is equipped with a four-cylinder engine. The MG 5 comes with two engine options: a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine in the MG 5 delivers 120 horsepower and a maximum torque of 150 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 6,000 rpm and the maximum torque at 4,500 rpm. Here are some precautions for using a car engine: 1. Avoid coasting in neutral: The engine itself has a deceleration fuel cut-off function, and coasting in neutral is not conducive to fuel economy. 2. Pay attention to observations while using the vehicle: If you notice oil on the ground, determine whether there is an engine oil leak and promptly communicate with the car dealership to eliminate potential safety hazards. 3. For vehicles equipped with a turbocharger: Do not turn off the engine immediately after high-speed driving or climbing a slope; let it idle for 10 minutes before shutting it down. Turbocharged vehicles accumulate carbon deposits several times faster than naturally aspirated vehicles. 4. If brake fluid is contaminated with water or impurities: Or if you notice sediment in the brake fluid, replace it promptly or filter it carefully. Otherwise, it may lead to insufficient braking pressure, affecting braking performance.

What Does Vehicle Suspension Stiffness Adjustment Mean?

Vehicle suspension stiffness adjustment refers to the ability to manually adjust the softness or firmness of a car's suspension. However, with advancements in technology, the operational state of a car's suspension can now be adjusted automatically. The suspension system used in vehicles affects both comfort and handling. Suspension stiffness adjustment can be either manual or automatic. During driving, the driver can adjust the suspension's stiffness via buttons inside the car. At high speeds, the suspension can become firmer to enhance the vehicle's stability. When driving on bumpy roads, the suspension softens to filter out minor vibrations, thereby improving comfort. During high-speed cornering, the shock absorber's resistance automatically increases to reduce body roll.

Is Overtaking Allowed at Pedestrian Crossings?

Overtaking is not permitted at pedestrian crossings. When vehicles are traveling in the same lane, the following vehicle should maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead to allow for emergency braking. According to Article 47 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China: When passing through a pedestrian crossing, motor vehicles should slow down; if pedestrians are crossing, the vehicle must stop and yield. On roads without traffic signals, motor vehicles must yield to pedestrians crossing the road. When overtaking, the driver should first turn on the left turn signal, switch between high and low beams, or sound the horn. On roads without a center line or with only one lane in the same direction, the vehicle ahead should reduce speed and move to the right to allow overtaking when safe. The overtaking vehicle should pass on the left after ensuring a sufficient safe distance and, after establishing the necessary distance, turn on the right turn signal and return to the original lane. According to Article 43(4) of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, overtaking is prohibited under the following circumstances: When the vehicle ahead is making a left turn, performing a U-turn, or overtaking; When there is a possibility of encountering oncoming traffic; When the vehicle ahead is an emergency vehicle such as a police car, fire truck, ambulance, or engineering rescue vehicle performing urgent duties; When passing through areas with no safe overtaking conditions, such as railway crossings, intersections, narrow bridges, curves, steep slopes, tunnels, pedestrian crossings, or sections of urban roads with heavy traffic.
