BMW 5 Series regular maintenance items include replacing engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter; checking the braking system for oil leaks and whether the brake pads are within the specified thickness; inspecting engine belt wear and adjusting belt tension if necessary; examining the transmission, drive shaft, and universal joint protective covers for oil leaks and damage; checking tire tread depth, tire pressure, and tire wear, and performing a wheel alignment if needed. Below is an introduction to the BMW 5 Series maintenance cycle and precautions. BMW 5 Series maintenance cycle: It is recommended to perform a routine maintenance every 10,000 kilometers for the BMW 5 Series. Before reaching 60,000 kilometers, the maintenance mainly alternates between oil and filter changes and the replacement of the three filters (oil, fuel, and air). A comprehensive fluid change is typically conducted at the 60,000-kilometer mark. BMW 5 Series maintenance precautions: Avoid running the engine for extended periods in an unventilated garage, as the exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an invisible and odorless toxic gas; avoid sucking on fuel pipes with your mouth, as gasoline is not only flammable and explosive but also toxic; avoid contact with carburetor cleaner, as most carburetor cleaners contain methyl chloride, aromatic compounds, and ethanol, all of which are toxic to some extent.

How to Check Tire Pressure in the 10th Generation Accord?

The 10th Generation Accord uses a passive tire pressure monitoring system. Instead of relying on electronic pressure sensors inside the tires, it calculates differences in wheel speed to alert drivers about tire pressure issues. Therefore, the central control screen does not display specific tire pressure values but directly shows a tire pressure monitoring warning symbol. Hazards of Overinflated Tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, compromising driving comfort; Accelerates uneven wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the longevity of other components. Hazards of Underinflated Tires: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Makes steering heavier and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; Intensifies movement across tire sections, causing abnormal heat generation from excessive compression; Degrades the functionality of cords and rubber, potentially leading to ply separation or cord breakage, along with excessive friction between the tire and rim causing bead damage and abnormal wear; Multiplies friction between the tire and ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. During high-speed driving, this may result in tire blowouts.

What is the reason for a single window lift failure?

It may be due to a malfunction of the main power switch. Here is some relevant information about car windows: 1. Types: Car windows are generally divided into four types: front and rear windshields, ventilation windows, heat-insulating side windows, and sunroofs. The front and rear windows of a car usually use curved glass that is both aesthetically pleasing and provides good visibility, embedded in the window frame with rubber seals or adhered with special adhesives. To facilitate natural ventilation, the side windows of a car can usually be moved up and down or back and forth. 2. Window materials: As early as 80 years ago, glass was already installed on the Ford Model T, where flat glass was mounted at the front of the compartment to protect the driver from wind and rain. In the decades that followed, the glass industry gradually became involved in the automotive industry, creating various types of safety glass—laminated glass, tempered glass, and zone-tempered glass—greatly improving the performance of automotive glass.

Can I Take Subject 3 First After Failing Subject 2?

You can take Subject 3 first. Introduction to Subject 3: Subject 3, which includes the road driving skills test and the safety and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviated name for the road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The road driving skills test content of Subject 3 generally includes preparation before getting on the car, simulated light test, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. Light Simulation: Before the simulated light test begins, check whether the light switch is reset, and confirm that the lights are completely turned off before requesting to start the test. If two adjacent voice commands use the same lights, no operation is required after hearing the current command.

How Long After First Obtaining a Driver's License Before It Needs to Be Replaced?

The initial driver's license replacement period is six years. Driving with an expired license is prohibited and may be treated as driving without a license. Motor vehicle drivers should apply for a license replacement at the vehicle management office of the license issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of their driver's license. The "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form" must be completed during the application. If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the license, they will be issued a driver's license with a ten-year validity period. If they continue to not accumulate 12 points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they will be issued a long-term valid driver's license. Time regulations: If the license has been expired for less than one year, it can be replaced normally; if expired for more than one year but less than three years, the license will be canceled, but it can be reinstated by passing the subject one test; if expired for more than three years, the license will be invalid and cannot be replaced.

What is the wheel stopper behind the parking space called?

It is called a wheel stop or parking curb. Below is relevant information about wheel stops: 1. Installation location; Mainly used in parking lots and garages, they ensure accurate and orderly vehicle parking, reduce vibration, and prevent collisions. They are suitable for underground parking lots and commonly used in large public parking areas, residential garages or underground parking, dedicated parking spaces in company/factory premises, and outdoor parking spots to prevent collisions between vehicles or between vehicles and other objects during parking. This product is installed and fixed at the rear of the parking space, approximately 1 meter from the front. It can also serve as an urban traffic substitute for hard barriers, making it an ideal positioning and isolation facility. 2. Function: Installing wheel stops in parking spaces prevents vehicles from overstepping when reversing into garages, avoids vehicle collisions, prevents building damage caused by improper reversing, and minimizes vehicle damage. Even if a vehicle accidentally collides, it significantly reduces damage to both buildings and vehicles, enhancing safety during reversing. It is the optimal facility for defining precise vehicle parking positions.

What is the reason for car air conditioning refrigerant leakage that cannot be detected?

You can check places like the condenser. Below is the relevant introduction about car air conditioning: 1. Air conditioning layout: Different types of air conditioning systems have different layout methods. Currently, cars widely use integrated heating and cooling air conditioning systems. The layout form involves assembling the evaporator, heater radiator, centrifugal blower, and control mechanism together, referred to as the air conditioning unit assembly. 2. Air conditioning composition: Modern air conditioning systems consist of refrigeration systems, heating systems, ventilation and air purification devices, and control systems. Car air conditioning generally mainly includes a compressor, electronically controlled clutch, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver-drier, pipelines, condenser fan, vacuum solenoid valve, idle speed controller, and control system. Car air conditioning is divided into high-pressure pipelines and low-pressure pipelines. The high-pressure side includes the compressor output side, high-pressure pipelines, condenser, receiver-drier, and liquid pipelines; the low-pressure side includes the evaporator, accumulator, return pipelines, compressor input side, and compressor oil sump.
