BMW 523LI's cabin air filter is installed inside the glove compartment. Filters dust from the air: Prevents dust from entering the evaporator and forming sludge that can clog it. If the airflow from the vents is noticeably reduced, it indicates a blockage; Purifies the air: The cabin air filter typically contains activated carbon, which can absorb some harmful gases in the air, benefiting health; Temperature control: In the design and manufacture of air conditioners, the temperature is generally allowed to be controlled between 16-32 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is set too low, it not only increases unnecessary power consumption but also creates a significant temperature difference between indoor and outdoor environments. This makes it difficult for people to quickly adapt to temperature changes when moving between rooms, increasing the risk of catching a cold.

What is the left lane?

The left lane is the overtaking lane. Below are specific details about the overtaking lane: 1. Position: The overtaking lane is located on the innermost (leftmost) lane of a highway. It is only designated when the road meets the standards of a bidirectional six-lane highway. 2. Function: The overtaking lane is provided for vehicles that need to overtake or those traveling at the required speed. However, some drivers occupy the overtaking lane for extended periods, forcing vehicles that need to overtake to do so from the slower travel lanes. This increases the speed differential between the overtaking vehicle and the slower-moving traffic, making it more dangerous and prone to accidents when overtaking from the travel lane.

How to Deal with License Plate Visibility in Rearview Camera?

If the rearview camera can see the license plate, you can adjust the camera angle to change the coverage area. Below are detailed explanations about the rearview camera: 1. Working Principle: The rearview camera uses a wide-angle far-infrared camera device installed at the rear of the vehicle, displaying obstacles behind the car clearly on the in-car screen. 2. Function: When the reverse gear is engaged, the system automatically activates the high-definition rearview camera at the back of the car, clearly showing the rear situation on the LCD display, allowing the driver to accurately assess the road conditions behind. This system provides a more intuitive and clear view of the rear when reversing, making it one of the most practical configurations for reversing safety.
