Here are the steps to locate the cabin air filter in a BMW 118: 1. Remove the lower cover panel of the glove compartment on the passenger side and the small cover panel on the left side of the passenger seat; 2. Disconnect the footwell light and a speaker connection wire; 3. Loosen the screws and open the cabin air filter cover to access the filter. Below are the functions of the cabin air filter: 1. It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. 3. It adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, and other substances from the air, providing strong and long-lasting moisture absorption.

What Causes Frequent Automatic Disconnection During New Energy Vehicle Charging?

If the electric vehicle is plugged in but not charging, this may be largely related to the charging pile. Some charging piles have a self-protection mechanism where the charging gun will automatically cut off power if it does not immediately enter the charging state after being plugged in. If switching to another charging pile does not resolve the issue, you can consult customer service for assistance. Additional considerations: Check the vehicle itself for potential causes. Ensure the charging plug is securely connected to the charging cable and that the cable itself is not faulty. Also, verify whether any electrical equipment in the vehicle is cutting off power during charging, as some vehicles have built-in protection functions that may affect charging. If none of these issues are present and charging disconnections occur frequently, it is advisable to visit a 4S shop to check for potential battery problems and inspect the vehicle's electrical system to ensure it is functioning properly.

How much difference between ET35 and ET45?

ET35 and ET45 differ by approximately 10mm. Here is relevant information about ET: 1. Concept: ET refers to the wheel offset, which is the distance between the wheel mounting surface and the centerline of the rim. The smaller the offset value, the more the wheel protrudes. 2. Considerations: If the wheel ET value is too small, the wheel will protrude from the vehicle body and may scrape against the fender. Therefore, this value requires careful consideration and precise calculation. The offset value determines the actual position of the wheel on the axle, including its lateral position and the track width between two wheels on the same axle.

Is ESP Failure Serious?

If the ESP system malfunctions, it is not recommended to continue driving. This is because when ESP fails, the vehicle is prone to losing control or rolling over during emergency avoidance or sharp turns, as these two factors are interrelated. More information about ESP is as follows: 1. Introduction: The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is a general term for systems or programs designed to enhance vehicle handling performance while effectively preventing loss of control when the vehicle reaches its dynamic limits. ESP improves vehicle safety and handling by analyzing driving state information from various sensors and then issuing corrective commands to systems like ABS and EBD to help maintain dynamic balance. ESP ensures optimal stability under various conditions, with particularly noticeable effects in cases of oversteer or understeer. 2. System Components: The ESP system consists of a control unit and sensors such as the steering angle sensor (monitoring the steering wheel's angle), wheel speed sensors (monitoring the speed of each wheel), yaw rate sensor (monitoring the vehicle's rotation around the vertical axis), and lateral acceleration sensor (monitoring centrifugal force during turns).

What to Do If the Three-Year Validity Period for the Driving Test Has Expired Without Passing and You Want to Retake It?

If the three-year validity period for the driving test has expired without passing and you want to retake the driving test, you need to re-enroll in a driving school and take all the subject tests again. The following is an introduction to the driving test subjects: 1. Subject 1: The test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge, answered on a computer. The full score is 100, and a score of 90 or above (including 90) is considered passing. 2. Subject 2: The test on field driving skills, which includes five mandatory items conducted in sequence: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, S-curve driving, right-angle turning, and starting and stopping on a slope. The full score is 100, and a score of 80 or above (including 80) is considered passing. 3. Subject 3: The test on road driving skills, commonly known as the road test. The full score is 100, with passing scores as follows: 90 or above for large buses, 80 or above for large trucks, 90 or above for small cars and small automatic transmission passenger vehicles, and 70 or above for other vehicle types. 4.

What procedures and precautions are needed when picking up a new car?

One day before picking up the car, prepare all the necessary items to bring. The essentials include the buyer's ID card, purchase contract, deposit receipt, driver's license, and in areas with license plate restrictions, the car purchase quota certificate. To complete everything in one day, arrive early. Handover takes two to three hours, with the remaining time used for license plate registration procedures. Additional notes: 1. Inspect the car body paint: First, visually examine the car's paint for scratches, spots, dents, and wear. 2. Check the vehicle identification plate: Located on the driver's side door or in the engine compartment, pay attention to whether the manufacturing date is too distant. 3. Inspect the windshield: The numbers represent the most recent production year, and the dots on the left side of the numbers indicate the production month. 4. Check the engine compartment: Open the hood and inspect whether the engine compartment is clean.
