BMW 5 Series cigarette lighter fuses are divided into front cigarette lighter fuse and rear cigarette lighter fuse. The front cigarette lighter fuse is located inside the glove compartment cover on the passenger side; the rear cigarette lighter fuse is located inside the side panel of the trunk. If the cigarette lighter fuse is blown and cannot supply power, it can be replaced. Locate the vehicle's electrical fuse box, open the fuse box cover, refer to the fuse location diagram pasted on the inner side of the cover to find the cigarette lighter fuse position; use the included fuse puller to remove the blown fuse, then replace it with a new or spare cigarette lighter fuse. Generally, cigarette lighters use 15-25A fuses. Since the vehicle voltage is 12V, it is recommended that the connected electrical appliances do not exceed 300W (200W for some compact cars). Besides serving as a lighter, the car cigarette lighter can also be equipped with a car inverter to convert the vehicle's DC power into 220V/50Hz AC power for ordinary electrical appliances, such as charging mobile electronic devices.

Why does the car always fail to start?

The reasons why the car always fails to start: 1. The battery is low on power. When the battery voltage is below the rated value and the engine cannot operate normally, please immediately call the service station for rescue, or get a jump start from another vehicle, and then you must go to the service station to charge the battery; 2. Gasoline flow is blocked. Do not wait until the gasoline is almost burned out before refueling. Place the car in a warm environment, or use the method of cleaning the fuel system to completely solve the problem; 3. The ignition system is not working well. You can unscrew the spark plug and wipe off the oil stains between the electrodes, and then reassemble it to drive. It should be noted that if an automatic transmission car fails to start, you cannot try to push the car to start it like a manual transmission car, as this will cause relatively large damage to the car. It is recommended to pull over, first simply check whether it is caused by no fuel or no power, and you can contact the nearest 4S store or seek towing services.

How to Stop the Wiper in the Middle?

Method to stop the wiper in the middle: 1. First, power on the car and activate the wiper function, setting the wiper to any gear. 2. Watch the wiper, and when it reaches the middle position, turn the key to the OFF position. This will stop the wiper in the middle of the windshield. The wiper, also known as a windscreen wiper, is primarily used to remove raindrops and dust from the car's windshield, enhancing the driver's visibility and improving driving safety. Rear windows of hatchbacks and SUVs are also equipped with wipers. Besides cars, other vehicles like trains and trams are fitted with wipers, and even some engineering machinery, such as cranes, have wipers installed.

How to Maintain Car Brakes?

Car brake maintenance requires regular replacement of brake fluid, typically every 40,000 kilometers or every 2 years. Since brake fluid is hygroscopic, the replacement interval should be appropriately shortened if driving frequently in humid areas. Brake pads should be replaced based on mileage, with inspections recommended every 10,000 kilometers starting around 30,000 kilometers. If the car pulls to one side during braking, immediate adjustment is necessary. Brake pads and discs have a limited lifespan and must be replaced once worn to a certain extent. Owners should regularly check the thickness of brake pads or shoes and replace them promptly when the thickness approaches or falls below the manufacturer's specified minimum.

Where is the Vehicle Identification Number Located?

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found in the following locations: 1. On the front partition wall of the engine compartment; 2. On the left side of the vehicle dashboard, visible from outside through the windshield; 3. On the vehicle nameplate attached to the central pillar; 4. Printed on the vehicle registration certificate. The Vehicle Identification Number, abbreviated as VIN (also known as the chassis number), is a unique 17-character alphanumeric code that identifies the manufacturer, production location, model year, and engine/chassis serial number of a vehicle. This coding system ensures no duplication for 30 years, earning it the nickname "vehicle's ID card". There are two main VIN standards: the ISO 3779 standard adopted by the European Union, and another standard primarily used in North America.

Is a Wheel Alignment Necessary After Changing Tires?

Is a Wheel Alignment Necessary After Changing Tires? A wheel alignment is necessary after changing tires because there are specific angles and relative positions between the car tires, steering mechanism, and front and rear axles. After replacing tires, these angles and positions may shift, which can lead to issues such as the car pulling to one side, reduced steering precision, an off-center steering wheel, or uneven tire wear. In such cases, a timely wheel alignment is required. A wheel alignment helps maintain the correct angles between the tires and the car body, reduces wear between the tires and steering components during driving, ensures a firm grip between the tires and the road, and helps the car maintain stable straight-line driving. Wheel alignment is a maintenance procedure and does not need to be performed regularly. If the car is not experiencing any issues, a wheel alignment is unnecessary.
