BMW's battery is located under the trunk. The battery is installed in the trunk primarily so that in the event of a major collision, the sensor will automatically cut off the power supply. BMW is a German automotive brand, belonging to the BMW Group. BMW Motor Company pursues high quality, high performance, and high technology in its vehicles. BMW's brand series include the 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, i, M, X, and z series. Purpose of car batteries: Mainly used for starting and lighting in cars, motorcycles, tractors, diesel engines, etc. The car battery acts as a voltage stabilizer for the entire vehicle's electrical system, mitigating impact voltage in the electrical system and protecting the vehicle's electronic equipment. When the car engine stops running or is at low idle, the battery supplies power to the car's electrical equipment. When the power demand exceeds the generator's supply capacity, the battery also participates in power supply. When the generator is operating normally, the car battery stores excess electricity generated by the generator. Car battery maintenance methods: Regularly clean the battery: As an important component of the car, the battery should be inspected promptly during use. Regularly clean the exterior of the battery, especially the dust, oil, and other dirt on the two terminals. Also, clean the appearance of the battery. If you cannot perform this yourself, it is recommended to go to a professional repair shop or 4S store for service. Reduce electrical usage when the engine is off: When the car is turned off, minimize the use of electrical appliances inside the car. Many people like to listen to the radio or use other electrical appliances while waiting on the roadside. Prolonged use during parking may drain the battery, making the car unable to start and affecting the battery's lifespan. After nighttime driving, check whether the car headlights are turned off. Replace the battery regularly: Car batteries have a limited lifespan, generally around three years or over 100,000 kilometers. If the battery is used for too long, abnormalities may occur during use. Check the battery's observation hole—under normal conditions, it should be green. If it is not green or shows another color, the owner should take note. Start the car periodically: If the vehicle is not used for an extended period, start the car regularly. During parking, the battery's charge will gradually deplete, leading to power loss. It is best to start the car periodically to recharge the battery and maintain a full charge.

Is it necessary to transfer the driver's license back to the local area?

It is necessary to transfer the driver's license back to the local area because relevant regulations stipulate that the driver's license can only be renewed at the place where it was issued. Therefore, the fundamental purpose of transferring the driver's license back to the local area is for renewal. After transferring the driver's license back to the local area, you need to go to the local vehicle management office to apply for renewal. You need to prepare your ID card and a copy, photos, the old driver's license, and a medical examination report. Submit these materials and wait for the staff to process them. The renewed driver's license can usually be received on the spot. Before renewal, all traffic violation fines must be paid, otherwise the renewal cannot be processed. The first renewed driver's license is valid for 10 years, and the second renewal results in a long-term valid driver's license.

Is it okay if the clutch slips once or twice?

It is not okay if the clutch slips once or twice. If the burning smell comes from the clutch, it indicates that the clutch is burnt, which is a symptom of excessive wear. The components of the clutch interact with each other. Initially, it might just be the friction plate that is worn, but if not repaired in time, the flywheel may also be damaged. Symptoms of clutch plate failure: 1. The clutch pedal feels higher. When starting the vehicle, you need to lift the clutch pedal higher than before (e.g., from 1 cm to 2 cm) to engage, which is caused by the thinning of the clutch plate. 2. Reduced vehicle power. Even when the engine is running normally, the car feels sluggish during acceleration or climbing, with insufficient power despite high engine RPM, indicating clutch slippage. 3. Metallic grinding noises when pressing or releasing the clutch pedal, a result of severe clutch plate wear. 4. Uneven engagement when releasing the clutch during startup, causing the car to jerk forward or backward, along with a rough or sticky feeling when operating the clutch pedal, indicating the need for clutch plate replacement.

Can the T-Roc use 92-octane gasoline?

T-Roc cannot use 92-octane gasoline because all models of this car are equipped with turbocharged engines. Using 92-octane gasoline in a turbocharged engine may cause engine knocking, which can affect both power output and fuel economy. Different grades of gasoline have varying octane ratings—higher-grade gasoline has a higher octane value, and gasoline with higher octane ratings offers better stability. The T-Roc is powered by 1.2T and 1.4T turbocharged engines, paired with either a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission. Positioned as a compact SUV, the T-Roc measures 4318 mm in length, 1819 mm in width, and 1582 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680 mm.

Will crossing the solid line at a traffic light intersection result in penalty points?

Crossing the solid line at a traffic light intersection will result in penalty points, as it constitutes a violation of prohibited road markings. The central dividing line on the road can be either yellow or white. If it is a solid line, you must not cross it or overtake. Typically, traffic police will enforce this on the spot, imposing a fine and deducting 3 points from your license. Traffic lights generally refer to traffic signal lights, which are used to direct traffic and usually consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light means stop, a green light means go, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Tips for navigating traffic lights: When approaching a straight-through intersection with only one set of traffic lights, follow normal traffic rules—stop when the light is red and proceed when it turns green. At intersections where U-turns are permitted, you can make a U-turn regardless of the traffic light signal. However, if you see a 'No U-turn' sign at an intersection, it means U-turns are prohibited there.
