BMW series do not have a water temperature gauge on the dashboard, but they are equipped with a water temperature sensor. If the water temperature is too high, the onboard computer will automatically display an alert for high engine temperature. In BMW coupes and M models, there is only an oil temperature gauge, not a water temperature gauge. Below are the reasons why BMW vehicles do not have a water temperature gauge: 1. Engine oil is the first line of defense for engine cooling, and since it directly contacts the inner walls of the engine cylinders, it better reflects the working temperature of the engine cylinders. 2. BMW models feature an oil temperature gauge, and temperatures below 120°C are generally considered normal. Do not mistake it for a water temperature gauge, as the system would already trigger an alert if the water temperature reached this level. Also, avoid comparing it with the water temperature gauges of other vehicle models.

What are the reasons for the burnout of the automotive air conditioning compressor coil?

The reasons for the burnout of the automotive air conditioning compressor coil are as follows: 1. Abnormal load and locked rotor; 2. Winding short circuit caused by metal shavings; 3. Contactor issues; 4. Power phase loss and voltage abnormalities; 5. Insufficient cooling; 6. Using the compressor for vacuuming. The functions of automotive air conditioning are as follows: 1. Adjusting the interior temperature: The air conditioner can control the temperature inside the vehicle cabin, heating or cooling the air to maintain a comfortable level. 2. Removing moisture from the air: The air conditioner can dehumidify the air, with dry air absorbing human sweat to create a more comfortable environment. 3. Ventilation and air filtration: The air conditioner can intake fresh air, providing ventilation; it can also filter the air, removing dust and pollen.

What are the penalties for not wearing a seat belt?

According to the relevant regulations in the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the following penalties apply for driving without wearing a seat belt: When driving on urban expressways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, penalties typically involve a fine plus demerit points. The specific fine amount is determined based on local policies. When driving on roads other than highways or urban expressways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, a fine is imposed without demerit points. (Urban expressways refer to urban roads with a central divider, four or more lanes, and full or partial grade separation and controlled access, designed for higher-speed vehicle travel.) If passengers in a moving vehicle fail to use the seat belt as required, a fine is imposed. When driving on highways, if the driver fails to use the seat belt as required, 2 demerit points are deducted. If passengers fail to wear the seat belt as required while traveling on highways, no demerit points are deducted. When driving on urban roads with speed limits below 50 km/h, if passengers fail to use the seat belt as required but correct the behavior immediately after being pointed out, an oral warning is issued.

Can You Continue Driving with a Tire Pressure of 1.2?

A tire pressure of 1.2 bar is not suitable for normal driving. Vehicles are usually equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, which typically triggers an alarm when the tire pressure drops below 1.5 bar. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and may lead to drifting, posing safety risks; Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation; Reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, as well as excessive friction between the tire and the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, sharply increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout; Increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracking. It also induces flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, fatigue in the cord layers, cord breakage, and enlarges the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. Solutions for Insufficient Tire Pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found during inspection, drive to a tire repair shop promptly for a patch and reinflation; If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any visible puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed rim. It is recommended to inspect and replace the rim if necessary.

What brand of car is the two SS?

SS is the logo of Chevrolet sports cars. The Chevrolet SS adopts MacPherson front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. The high-performance braking kit produced by Brembo includes 355mm ventilated brake discs, four-piston front brake calipers, and two-piston rear brake discs, paired with a sport-tuned electric power steering system. Additional information: 1. Introduction: The Chevrolet SS is a full-size high-performance sedan, offering a increasingly rare fast car formula with a large, simple V8 combined with a manual transmission, driving the rear wheels. Additionally, the SS provides substantial investment in many areas, but the interior is not one of them. The quality of materials used and general assembly and finish do not meet modern standards. As one of Chevrolet's fastest cars, it may adopt a 6.2T supercharged V6 engine to maintain its speed advantage as always. 2. Performance: The Chevrolet SS features MacPherson front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. The high-performance braking kit from Brembo includes 355mm ventilated brake discs, four-piston front brake calipers, and two-piston rear brake discs, paired with a sport-tuned electric power steering system.

Interior: The A8's interior showcases high-tech features, while the A6's interior emphasizes technology less. 3. Performance: The base configuration of the A8 matches the highest configuration of the A6, but the A8 is not as comfortable or as user-friendly as the A6. Currently, the A6 in China is available with four gasoline engine options, while the A8's entry-level model only has one. 4. Body dimensions: The A8 measures 5192mm in length, 1894mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3074mm; the A6 measures 5012mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1485mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2945mm.
