Solution for a small cut on the sidewall of a tire: First, check whether the cut has penetrated or damaged the inner cord material. If the sidewall is already damaged, it is not recommended to repair it. If the cut has not damaged the cord material, the tire can still be used, but it is necessary to regularly inspect whether the cut expands or the cords are damaged. If any issues are found, replace the tire promptly. To minimize the risk of sidewall cuts and extend the tire's lifespan, maintain proper distance when parking, avoid aggressive driving behaviors such as sharp turns, rapid acceleration, emergency braking, and driving over curbs, and slow down when driving on uneven road surfaces.

Can the BMW 5 Series perform a launch start?

BMW 5 Series can perform a launch start. Precautions for launch start: In the i-drive system, enter the drive menu, then go to the drivelogic menu and change from S5 to S6. After that, press the "M" button on the steering wheel to activate this setting, or manually shift the gear to manual mode "1" and then adjust the drivelogic to full. Turn off DSC, ensure the power button is on and EDC is fully open. Only in this state can the launch start be performed. Optimal RPM: Keep the gear lever pushed forward; once released, the launch mode will not activate. At this point, the brake pedal can be slightly released while fully pressing the accelerator. Then, the current launch RPM can be observed under full throttle. The driver can adjust the RPM up or down using the cruise control lever as needed, with 4000-4500 RPM being the most effective.

What is the fuel tank capacity of a typical sedan?

The fuel tank capacity of a typical sedan is 50 liters. The methods for checking fuel tank capacity and the range of fuel tank capacities are as follows: Methods for checking fuel tank capacity: Currently, the method for checking a car's fuel tank capacity is generally by observing the reading on the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel quantity will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard typically has 5-6 segments, with each segment representing the remaining fuel capacity in the tank. Generally, when the fuel gauge shows only two segments remaining, it's time to refuel to avoid running out of gasoline midway. Range of fuel tank capacities: Typically, small cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while mid-sized cars have a fuel tank capacity of around 55-75 liters. A full tank usually allows the car to travel approximately 500 kilometers. Depending on the car's engine displacement, vehicles with higher fuel consumption have larger tanks, while those with lower fuel consumption have smaller tanks.

What are the criteria for classifying a vehicle as an accident-damaged car?

Main determining points include the vehicle's ABC pillars, front and rear longitudinal beams, and shock absorber mounts. Below is an introduction to relevant automotive repair content: Definition of Sheet Metal Repair: Sheet metal repair for motor vehicles is performed when the vehicle's exterior is damaged or deformed, requiring the use of sheet metal repair methods to restore the damaged areas. Sheet metal repair places relatively high demands on technicians, who must understand the characteristics of body materials, the stress properties of the vehicle body, and the welding techniques involved. Only with this foundational knowledge can a technician properly perform sheet metal repairs. Post-Repair Precautions: After an accident-damaged car is repaired, it is advisable to keep the engine speed below 4,000 rpm. Newly replaced parts require a break-in period and are not suitable for high-intensity operation; vehicle speed should also be kept moderate. After driving a certain distance, the vehicle should be taken to a repair shop for testing of relevant data, such as whether the tires are wearing evenly or if the suspension components are deformed, with necessary corrections made as required.

How to Start and Turn Off a Car with One-Button Start?

A car with one-button start can be started as follows: After the owner opens the door and enters the car, simply press the brake and lightly press the one-button start to ignite the engine. To turn off the car with one-button start: While the engine is running, press the brake and lightly press the one-button start button to shut down the engine. The one-button start device is part of a smart car, a button device that simplifies the starting process. This device can be retrofitted at the original car key lock position or installed as an independent panel. Advantages of one-button start: Unlike traditional mechanical key ignition and conventional starting procedures, simply pressing the one-button start can ignite or shut down the engine, eliminating the hassle of losing or searching for keys. Most ignition processes require stepping on the foot brake. The start button procedure is entirely controlled by a chip, ensuring stable and reliable performance. It simulates the original car key start modes—OFF, ACC, ON, START, ON, OFF—and normally achieves each function.

Is Personal Attendance Required for Annual Vehicle Inspection?

Personal attendance is not required for annual vehicle inspection. Documents needed for annual inspection: Original copy of the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate (duplicate); Safety technical inspection qualification certificate (provided by the vehicle inspection station); Original vehicle license; Proof of payment of vehicle and vessel tax; Original ID card of the vehicle owner (and the ID card of the agent if applicable). Procedure for annual inspection: First, after submitting the inspection application, the vehicle undergoes an on-site inspection. The vehicle is driven into the automatic inspection area to sequentially check whether the exhaust emissions, speed, lights, side slip, and chassis meet the standards. All items must pass to proceed. Next is the appearance inspection, verifying the accuracy of the vehicle's license plate number, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number. Then, the body appearance is inspected, including details such as the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, paint, engine operation status, and the interior of passenger vehicles and wheels. Finally, the owner can obtain the inspection report and application form from the inspector. If all inspection items pass, the owner can proceed to pay the inspection fee and collect the vehicle license and qualification label. If any items fail, the owner must make repairs and participate in a re-inspection until all items pass before proceeding with the visa procedures.
