The material of the new LaCrosse's side skirt is steel plate. Car side skirt: It refers to the skirt panels installed on both sides of the vehicle body. When the car is driving at high speed, it can reduce air resistance, and its function is equivalent to that of an air dam, used to reduce the airflow entering the underside of the car from both sides, providing a certain aerodynamic effect. Under certain conditions, it can significantly reduce air resistance. Car side skirt materials: Generally, they can be divided into three types: steel plate integrated stamping, engineering plastic, and aluminum alloy integrated stamping. Among them, steel plate integrated stamping and aluminum alloy integrated stamping cannot be disassembled separately and require sheet metal cutting because they are integrated with the car body shell. On the other hand, engineering plastic materials can be disassembled separately, mainly connected to the car body through threads and clips, which is a detachable connection. The specific material depends on the car model.

Does BMW have a seven-seater car?

BMW does have seven-seater models, including the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer and the BMW X7. Some variants of the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer and BMW X7 feature a seven-seat layout. The BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is an entry-level model introduced by BMW, with an exterior design that closely resembles an MPV. The BMW X7, on the other hand, is a mid-to-large-sized SUV launched by BMW. Taking the BMW X7 as an example, its body dimensions are 5163mm in length, 2000mm in width, and 1835mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3105mm. The BMW X7 is built on the CLAR platform and adopts BMW's new family design language, featuring an enlarged double-kidney front grille. Additionally, the new model offers both Luxury and M Sport packages.

How many kilometers can you drive with a misfiring cylinder?

You should not continue driving with a misfiring cylinder. The issue needs to be resolved promptly, as continued driving can lead to engine overheating, backfiring, a significant increase in fuel consumption, and in severe cases, crankshaft deformation or breakage. Below are the causes of engine misfiring: Worn cylinder liner and piston ring with excessive clearance: Excessive clearance due to wear in the engine cylinder liner and piston rings, improper sealing of intake and exhaust valves, and leakage from valve oil seals can result in insufficient cylinder pressure, leading to misfiring. Worn fuel injector: Poor fuel atomization caused by a worn fuel injector, which can increase or decrease fuel supply or even stop fuel injection, resulting in misfiring. ECU (Engine Control Unit) failure: For high-pressure common rail engines, misfiring can also be caused by a failure in the engine's ECU. Substandard diesel fuel quality: Excessive impurities in the fuel can cause engine wear. Therefore, it is essential to use high-quality fuel and perform regular engine maintenance to significantly reduce the likelihood of misfiring.

How long after failing Subject 2 can you reschedule the exam?

After failing Subject 2, you need to wait ten days before rescheduling the exam. Below are the rescheduling rules for Subject 2 and the exam items: Rescheduling rules for Subject 2: For first-time applicants of driving licenses for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, or small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, you must wait at least 10 days after obtaining the learning driving permit before scheduling the exam. For applicants upgrading to large buses, trailers, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks, you must wait at least 20 days after obtaining the learning driving permit before scheduling the exam. Exam items for Subject 2: The exam items for Subject 2 vary depending on the vehicle type and are divided into four categories: content for AB licenses, C1 licenses, C2 licenses, and C4/C5/D/E/F licenses. Each vehicle type has different exam requirements. For example, the C1 license exam includes parallel parking, reversing into a garage, curve driving, right-angle turns, and hill starts.

Why is the ABS light always on?

When the car displays ABS, it means there is a malfunction in the vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may lose control and skid, preventing the driver from slowing down or adjusting the vehicle's trajectory, which poses significant safety risks. The ABS light can illuminate in various states, each with different causes and solutions. The details are as follows: State 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS speed sensor's sensing part is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle speed and wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the speed sensor and adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal due to loose connections in the system wiring or poor contact in the ABS relay, leading to system failure. Solution: Check the wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently turns on but turns off when accelerating. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases, the voltage rises, and the ABS indicator turns off. The ABS system power supply voltage is too low, possibly due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body's grounding circuit; poor contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body's wiring connector; ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, then retighten it, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check if the connector gap has widened; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer. State 4: ABS warning light turns on during high-speed driving. Cause: During high-speed driving, the ABS computer detects a significant discrepancy between the rear and front wheel speed signals; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the label near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently turns on. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: Start the engine, press the brake pedal, push the brake switch linkage down with your finger, then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position; replace the brake light switch if necessary.

What to Do If Poor-Quality Fuel Is Added?

Promptly visit a 4S shop to completely drain the remaining fuel in the tank, refill with high-quality gasoline, clean the fuel injectors, clean the combustion chamber, and replace the fuel filter. Here is more information about poor-quality fuel: Hazards: It can cause carbon deposits in the engine, clogging of the fuel system, reduced vehicle power performance, and failure of the oxygen sensor and catalytic converter. Identification Methods: Observe the appearance of the fuel, smell the fuel, and take a few drops to check its volatility and feel. Qualified gasoline evaporates easily, usually completely within one or two minutes. Slow evaporation or noticeable residue indicates abnormal fuel.

What National Emission Standard is Currently Implemented in Beijing?

Beijing is currently implementing the China 6b standard. Below is a detailed introduction to the national emission standards: Purpose: The strict national emission standards are introduced to regulate automobile manufacturers. These stringent standards help phase out some older vehicles that fail to meet the emission requirements. Development of National Emission Standards: The China 6 standard implemented since 2019 is the China 6a standard, which served as a transitional standard from China 5 to China 6. The true China 6 standard is the China 6b standard. Comparison Between China 6a and 6b: The emission requirements of China 6b are nearly twice as strict as those of China 6a, and it also adopts a more rigorous Real Driving Emissions (RDE) test.
