AUTO (Automatic) operation mode button press. The following is a related introduction: Button press: Automatically adjusts air volume, air distribution, and temperature. Based on the selected temperature, AUTO intensity, and external environmental influences, the airflow can be directed towards the windshield, side windows, upper body area, and footwell. In AUTO (Automatic) operation mode, the cooling function is automatically activated. The moisture sensor also controls this program to minimize window fogging as much as possible. BMW: BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke), fully known in Chinese as Bavarian Motor Works Co., Ltd., is a German automobile brand. BMW's vehicle series include i, X, Z, and pure numeric models, with series such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and the M series (BMW's official high-performance modification division) based on improvements to these series.

I've been driving a BMW for three years, and this AUTO button is truly practical! After pressing the air conditioning AUTO button, the car becomes smart—it not only senses the temperature automatically but also adjusts the fan speed on its own. I remember last summer when it was 40 degrees Celsius, and the car felt like a sauna when I got in. But after pressing AUTO, it cooled down in less than 5 minutes. You can also use the central control screen to switch between internal and external air circulation—when stuck in traffic, switching to internal circulation immediately blocks out the exhaust smell. The best part is the peace of mind—no need to constantly adjust settings, so you can focus on driving.

Is It Normal for the Transmission to Make a Clicking Sound?

The presence of a clicking sound in the transmission is an abnormal phenomenon. Its functions include: 1. Changing the transmission ratio; 2. Expanding the torque and speed of the driving wheels; 3. Enabling the vehicle to reverse; 4. Facilitating gear shifting or power output in the transmission. Transmission maintenance methods: 1. Replace automatic transmission fluid every 12 months or 20,000 kilometers; 2. Avoid coasting in neutral; 3. Regularly check the fluid level; 4. Avoid skipping gears when upshifting; 5. Do not force the transmission into neutral; 6. Do not shorten the idle warm-up time; 7. Avoid gear grinding when shifting; 8. Clean the transmission; 9. Do not start driving immediately without warming up the vehicle; 10. Perform regular maintenance on the automatic transmission. The causes of clicking sounds in the transmission include: 1. Wear and damage to bearings; 2. Wear of transmission components or the use of low-precision replacement parts; 3. Insufficient or overly viscous lubricant leading to poor lubrication; 4. Loose bolts on the transmission housing.

How to Read the Water Temperature Gauge in a Car?

The method to read the water temperature gauge in a car is to observe the position of the gauge's needle. The water temperature gauge uses 'C' to 'H' to indicate the water temperature, where 'C' represents 60 degrees and 'H' represents 110 degrees. The normal temperature range is between 80 and 100 degrees. When the engine's water temperature rises into the high-temperature zone, the water temperature gauge will light up. In this case, you should stop the car and let it idle for 5 minutes before turning off the engine. Wait until the water temperature indicator returns to the normal state before restarting the car to continue driving. Reasons for high engine water temperature: 1. Insufficient coolant – a lack of coolant leading to high water temperature is quite common; 2. Problems with the cooling fan – issues with the engine's cooling fan can also cause the engine water temperature to rise; 3. Issues with the circulation water pump – if the water pump malfunctions, the water circulation on the engine's heat conduction side cannot proceed normally, resulting in high water temperature. It is important to detect and resolve these issues early to avoid more significant failures.

What Causes Loud Abnormal Engine Noises?

Engine abnormal noise is loud because the foot pad is damaged and aged after long-term use. Engine: An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, internal combustion engines usually convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. The engine is suitable for both power generating devices and the entire machine including the power device (such as gasoline engines, aircraft engines). The engine was first born in the UK, so the concept of the engine also comes from English, and its original meaning refers to "mechanical devices that generate power". Engine abnormal noise: The engine is the heart of the car and needs to withstand long-term and high-load work. Over time, the internal parts of the engine will inevitably experience wear and aging. The most direct phenomenon of component failure is the engine making various abnormal noises during operation. Compared with the abnormal noise of accessories installed outside the engine, the abnormal noise inside the engine cylinder is slightly more difficult to determine the source of the fault because it cannot be visually observed and inspected.

Can the car still be driven when the 'Service Tire Pressure Monitoring System' warning appears?

When the tire pressure check warning appears, the car can still be driven. However, abnormal tire pressure indicates possible issues such as air leakage, overinflation, or underinflation. To ensure driving safety, it is recommended to drive to the nearest tire repair shop for inspection. Standard tire pressure values: The standard tire pressure for normal tires is 2.4-2.5 bar; for reinforced tires, it's 2.8-2.9 bar. The maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: The system typically alerts when pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring system not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system isn't reset promptly, it continues to display the previous data, causing the tire pressure warning light to stay on. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving (e.g., by hitting a curb), it can trigger the tire pressure warning light. In case of sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

What brand is DoubleKing tires?

DoubleKing tires are a brand under Shandong Double King Rubber Co., Ltd. The company is a key enterprise specializing in the production of radial tires, heavy-duty tires, light truck tires, engineering tires, agricultural tires, motorcycle inner and outer tires, and other series of products. It has successively obtained ISO9001-2000 quality management system certification, the national mandatory "3C" certification, safety certification, as well as DOT and ECE international certifications. The company has collaborated with tire and rubber industries in Europe, the United States, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and other countries and regions. Its products, including the "DoubleKing" radial tires, "Double King," "Luyitong," and "Baoli" brand tires, are sold nationwide and exported to over 50 countries and regions. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during driving. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance, as well as high wear resistance and flex resistance, along with relatively low rolling resistance and heat generation. They directly contact the road surface and work with the vehicle suspension to mitigate impacts during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also ensure excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability while bearing the vehicle's weight. DoubleKing tire maintenance methods: Enhance awareness of tire safety and inspect tires regularly. Regularly adjust wheel balance, as unbalanced wheels can cause high-frequency oscillations during high-speed driving, leading to uneven tire wear. Rotate tires periodically. To ensure even wear on all tires of the same vehicle, perform tire rotation every 5,000 kilometers. In daily use of DoubleKing tires, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread is worn flat, it loses its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may also pose hidden dangers for tire blowouts during high-speed driving. Additionally, immediately remove pebbles stuck in the grooves. Park on flat ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may degrade rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Avoid splashing water for cooling. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and air pressure increases. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool the tires, as this may cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or emergency braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the road surface.

Why does ETC always beep?

ETC always beeps because there is an issue with the ETC device. Normally, the sound only occurs when passing through an ETC lane on the highway for identification, and it doesn't beep continuously. If this situation occurs, it is necessary to go to a maintenance center to check what fault the ETC device has. ETC is the Electronic Toll Collection system, also known as the Automatic Road Payment System. It is a road toll method specifically designed for toll roads, commonly seen on highways, bridges or tunnels implementing toll policies, and some sections of urban centers to alleviate urban traffic congestion.
