The 'trip' on the car dashboard is called the trip meter (Trip). The trip meter allows users to calculate the kilometers traveled for each trip and can be reset to zero by long-pressing the clear button. The trip meter (Trip) is used to randomly measure the mileage from point A to point B. Here is a detailed introduction to the trip meter (trip): 1. The smallest unit of the trip meter (trip) is 0.1 kilometers. The basic calculation method is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, which is also a parameter provided by the manufacturer. It is calculated by dividing the actual fuel consumption by the actual mileage traveled. The total mileage calculates the overall distance traveled by the vehicle, which cannot be cleared by ordinary methods. 2. By recording the trip mileage on the dashboard, it is very convenient to calculate the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Moreover, it can be reset to zero after each trip. This is where the 'reset' button next to it comes into play. Literally translated, it means 'reset,' and its function is to reset the trip meter on the car dashboard. 3. How to calculate the vehicle's fuel consumption: When filling up the tank for the first time, use the reset button to clear the trip meter, then drive normally to accumulate mileage. When refueling next time, the current mileage traveled (referred to as B) is the amount of fuel used (referred to as A, under the premise of filling up the tank). Then, the amount of fuel used (A) ÷ the current mileage traveled (B) = actual fuel consumption.

Does the BMW 5 Series have automatic window closing when locking the car?

The BMW 5 Series has automatic window closing when locking the car. Simply find the "Automatic Window Closing When Locking" option in the central control screen and set it to "On" to enable this feature. Here is more information: Materials technology used in BMW 5 Series tires: The BMW 5 Series benefits to some extent from the adoption of new steel wire materials, which significantly reduce tire weight while enhancing strength. Through new vulcanization, effective cross-linking of high molecules within the rubber is achieved, combined with newly developed styrene polymers, providing excellent grip and traction even under wet conditions and with very low rolling resistance, ensuring timely braking. Tires and rims: The BMW 5 Series is equipped with traditionally styled 10-spoke 17-inch aluminum alloy rims, paired with Pirelli Cinturato P7 series tires. The front and rear tire specifications are both 225/55R17. The BMW 5 Series does not offer larger rims or corresponding tire options, and since it is equipped with run-flat tires, there is no spare tire provided in the car.

How to Start a Kia K3?

The Kia K3 comes standard with a push-button start function across all models. First, press the start button once and wait for the ACC light to illuminate. Then, press the start button again, at which point the push-button start will turn green, and the vehicle will begin self-inspection. Once the self-inspection is complete, press the brake pedal and press the push-button start once more to start the vehicle. Below are some important notes regarding the use of the push-button start in the Kia K3: 1. Turning off/starting the engine while driving. Turning off the engine while driving: In case of an emergency while the vehicle is in motion, you can turn off the engine by pressing the engine start/stop button for more than 3 seconds or pressing it three times consecutively. The power will then switch to ACC mode. Starting the engine while driving: If the engine stalls while the vehicle is in motion, you can restart it without pressing the brake pedal by shifting the gear lever to N (neutral) and pressing the engine start/stop button. 2. Low battery or malfunctioning smart key. If the smart key battery is low or the smart key is not functioning properly, replace the battery promptly. If you need to use the vehicle, you can unlock the door with the mechanical key and insert the smart key into the smart key cylinder to start the engine. 3. Steering wheel lock. When the engine start/stop button is in the OFF position, the steering wheel locks as an anti-theft measure. The steering wheel will also automatically lock when the door is opened or the smart key is removed from the smart key cylinder. Normally, the steering wheel will automatically unlock when the engine start/stop button is in ACC mode. If the steering wheel does not unlock properly, you can release the tension by turning the steering wheel left or right while pressing the engine start/stop button. 4. Starting the engine under special circumstances. If the brake light fuse is blown, the engine usually cannot be started. In this case, you can start the engine by holding the engine start/stop button for 10 seconds while it is in ACC mode.

Does Listening to Music in the Car Consume Fuel?

Listening to music while driving does not consume or increase fuel consumption. Reason Explanation: This is because, unlike when parked and listening to music, the power is not drawn from the battery but from the rectified DC output of the generator. As long as the vehicle's engine is running, the generator is working, so the minimal power consumption will not increase fuel usage. The audio system requires electricity, not other energy sources. Once the engine is running, the generator operates continuously, ensuring an uninterrupted power supply. Idle Explanation: When the engine is running, even at idle, it consumes fuel, but playing music will not increase fuel consumption. However, it is best not to listen to music for too long when the engine is off, as it may drain the battery and make it difficult to start the car later. Whether you listen to music or not, the generator automatically charges the battery once the engine is started. Avoid prolonged use of in-car electronics when the engine is off, as it can harm the battery.

Should the Elysian use 92 or 95 octane gasoline?

The Elysian is equipped with a naturally aspirated engine, so this vehicle can use 92 octane gasoline. Below is a related introduction to the Honda Elysian: Power: The Dongfeng Honda Elysian is powered by Honda's Earth Dreams Technology 2.4L direct-injection engine, delivering a maximum power of 137 kW and a maximum torque of 243 Nm. In terms of the transmission system, the Elysian is paired with the new-generation 'G-design shift' CVT continuously variable transmission, which also originates from FUNTEC's 'Earth Dreams Technology.' While retaining the smooth and seamless characteristics of a CVT, it provides more direct power response, achieving a perfect balance between acceleration and low fuel consumption. Value for Money: The Elysian follows a high-end route, with a more business-oriented exterior design. Its spacious interior ensures riding comfort, particularly the high comfort level of the second-row seats. The two rear seats do not interfere with each other, and the design of lumbar support and electric adjustment is particularly user-friendly. The high-end version of the Elysian already offers relatively higher configurations, safety, and comfort compared to other models in the same price range, making its overall value for money quite high.
