The minimum ground clearance of the BMW 5 Series is 138mm. Below are the relevant details about the minimum ground clearance of the BMW 5 Series: 1. With underbody protection: The minimum ground clearance of the BMW 5 Series is 138mm, and the chassis is equipped with underbody protection. 2. Clearance: The minimum ground clearance for sedans typically ranges between 110mm and 150mm. For sedans, a larger ground clearance (over 130mm) generally provides better off-road performance but poorer high-speed stability, while a smaller ground clearance (below 110mm) offers better high-speed stability but reduced off-road capability. Nowadays, models equipped with air suspension can automatically adjust the ground clearance, effectively meeting the dual needs of off-road performance and high-speed stability.

As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I know that the BMW 5 Series typically has a ground clearance of around 140mm, which is quite common in models like the G30 generation. This design is particularly city-friendly as it prevents underbody scrapes, especially when parking or going over speed bumps. However, the BMW 5 Series leans more towards sporty handling, and the lower clearance enhances high-speed stability, but you’ll need to be extra cautious about rocks or potholes when driving on rural dirt roads. There are many influencing factors—larger tire sizes or stiffer suspensions might reduce clearance to 130mm, while adding underbody protection or switching to softer tires could slightly increase it. For daily driving, it’s best to stick with the factory settings and avoid unnecessary modifications to maintain handling safety. In short, safety comes first—always consult the manual or a professional workshop if issues arise to ensure worry-free long-distance trips.

When reversing, if you turn the steering wheel to the left, which way does the rear of the car go?

When reversing, if you turn the steering wheel to the left, the rear of the car will turn to the right. Both when reversing and driving forward, the car will move in the direction the steering wheel is turned. During the reversing process, it is necessary to adjust the angle of the rearview mirror to avoid blind spots and potential safety hazards. It is normal for parts such as the car's shock absorbers and rubber bushings to make noises due to the inertia of movement during reversing, so there is no need for excessive concern. The function of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a frame, foam, and the corresponding installation clips or screw holes for the driver's airbag (DAB).

What is the engine model of the Tiguan L?

The Tiguan L is equipped with the EA888 engine. Below are the relevant details about the engine: 1. The EA888 engine is a newly designed engine, belonging to the third generation. It integrates advanced technologies such as direct injection, turbocharging, and variable valve timing, achieving a balance between power, economy, and environmental friendliness. 2. The EA888 series includes two displacements: 1.8L and 2.0L. The mechanical structures of these two engines are fundamentally the same, with the main differences being the length of the connecting rods between the crankshaft and pistons. The 2.0TSI has shorter connecting rods compared to the 1.8TSI, and the crankshaft radius is increased to enhance displacement. Additionally, the piston top structures differ slightly, primarily to adjust the working volume of the combustion chamber, ensuring a consistent compression ratio and achieving the same combustion effect.

What to Do When the Reversing Camera of a Passat Does Not Display?

If the reversing camera of a Passat does not display, it could be due to display settings, camera malfunction, or wiring issues. Generally, there is a camera switch control in the display settings; simply adjust the switch to "ON". Solutions for when the reversing camera does not display are as follows: 1. First, check if the radio, video playback, etc., are displaying normally. If not, the system host may be faulty. 2. If other functions work normally except for the reversing camera, try pressing the host switch to restart the host or disconnect the battery. 3. After disconnecting the power or restarting, if the reversing camera still does not display, the issue may lie with the system host, the reversing camera lens, or related wiring.
