The minimum ground clearance of the BMW 5 Series is 138MM. Below is a detailed introduction to vehicle ground clearance: Concept: Ground clearance refers to the distance between the ground and the rigid objects at the bottom of the vehicle. The ground clearance of a car varies depending on whether it is unloaded or loaded. Ground clearance is categorized into unloaded and loaded conditions. The ground clearance when loaded is also known as the minimum ground clearance, which refers to the shortest distance between the lowest protruding part of the vehicle's chassis and the ground when the vehicle is parked horizontally under the rated full load. Characteristics of clearance size: Ground clearance is related to the vehicle's load—the heavier the load, the smaller the ground clearance. Vehicles with smaller ground clearance have a lower center of gravity but poorer passability. Vehicles with larger ground clearance have better passability. Higher ground clearance not only improves performance on gravel or mountainous roads but also helps prevent water from entering the exhaust pipe when driving through flooded roads and makes it easier to park on curbs or other parking spaces with height differences.

Can a temporary ID card be used for the Subject 2 driving test?

A temporary ID card can be used for the Subject 2 driving test, but it's important to note that the validity period of a temporary ID card is 3 months. An expired temporary ID card will not grant entry to the examination venue, so it is advisable to apply for a formal ID card as soon as possible. If the test requires magnetic stripe verification, since temporary ID cards cannot be swiped, candidates should inform the examination staff in advance. The staff will then assist in arranging the test accordingly. Subject 2 is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, commonly referred to as the field driving skills test. For small vehicles (C1, C2), the test items include five mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving.

Can You Still Drive with a Misfire in the First Cylinder?

You can drive with a misfire in the first cylinder, but the engine may experience shaking and cylinder scoring due to the loss of one cylinder's operation. To ensure driving safety, it is recommended to contact a professional for repairs as soon as possible. Causes of a misfire in the first cylinder: 1. Poor spark between spark plugs, leading to cylinder misfire; 2. Sticking or incomplete closure of the first cylinder's fuel injector, causing poor performance and misfire; 3. Damage to the first cylinder's ignition coil; 4. Mechanical failure in the first cylinder's engine components leading to poor air tightness. When the engine has a misfire in the first cylinder, the engine control unit (ECU) will calculate the number of misfires. If the misfire rate exceeds the limit, the fault indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate. The fault code for a misfire in the first cylinder is P0301.

What does the 'set' indicator on the car mean?

The 'set' indicator on the car refers to the cruise speed control switch. When you want to set the cruise speed, accelerate the car to the desired speed and press the 'set' button. At this time, the car speed usually needs to be greater than 30 miles per hour. If you step on the brake while using cruise speed control, the cruise speed control will stop working. The 'set' system mainly consists of a command switch, sensors, ECU, and an actuator. The ECU has two input signals: one is the command speed signal set by the driver as required, and the other is the feedback signal of the actual driving speed. After the controller detects the error between these two input signals, it generates a throttle control signal sent to the throttle actuator, so that the throttle actuator adjusts the opening of the engine throttle according to the throttle control signal to correct the error detected by the electronic control device and keep the speed constant.

What are the techniques for car touch-up painting?

The techniques for car touch-up painting are: 1. Prepare protective tape and cloth to cover areas that do not need touch-up; 2. Prepare a touch-up pen and spray can, and assemble them properly; 3. Start spraying, maintaining a certain distance from the car body to ensure a smoother finish; 4. After painting, wait a few minutes for the paint to partially dry, then prepare blending clear coat; 5. Spray the blending clear coat on the painted area to better match the original color of the car body and protect the newly painted area. Notes: 1. When spraying, ensure to spray back and forth, avoiding concentrated spraying on one spot; 2. If the scratch is not very noticeable, you can use the touch-up pen included with the touch-up paint.

How to Adjust Car Seat Height?

Method for adjusting car seat height: Locate the height adjustment switch among the seat adjustment controls, then adjust it to a suitable position. Since everyone's body proportions differ, car seats may not feel comfortable for everyone. In addition to adjusting the seat height, other angles should also be adjusted accordingly. Steering wheel adjustment is equally crucial—its position should be set based on the seat's position. If the steering wheel is too close to the body, it may increase the risk of injury when the airbag deploys; if it's too far away, it could lead to operational errors in emergency situations.
