The collision sensor of BMW X5 is located on the inner side of the front fenders on both sides of the vehicle body. Function of collision sensor: In the event of a severe collision, the airbag provides protection to the driver and passengers, and the device that triggers the airbag deployment is the collision sensor. The collision sensor directly affects the deployment of the airbag. Based on the signals transmitted by the collision sensor, it determines whether to deploy the airbag, so it is generally installed in areas prone to collisions. Location of collision sensors: In the SRS airbag system, 3-4 collision sensors are installed. They are located on the inner side of the front fenders on both sides of the vehicle body. As for the impact severity sensors, one collision sensor is installed on the left front and right front parts of the vehicle body, known as the left front collision sensor and the right front collision sensor. The sensor located in the central front part of the vehicle body is called the central collision sensor. As for the protective collision sensor, it is usually installed together with the SRS computer, located under the decorative panel in the central part of the cabin, around the gear lever.

How to Raise Car Seats?

There are two main methods to adjust the height of car seats: 1. Electric seats, which are adjusted via buttons, and 2. Manual seats, which are adjusted using a lever. Below are the relevant details: 1. Location of electric seat adjustment buttons: Electric seats are typically found in higher-end B-segment sedans. The buttons for adjusting the seat are located on the side of the seat, allowing the driver to adjust the height or forward/backward position. The height should be adjusted according to the driver's stature, ensuring there is at least a fist's worth of headroom and maintaining a clear field of vision. 2. Purpose of adjustment: This is to prevent the driver's head from hitting the roof on bumpy roads. Adjusting the height of manual seats is more cumbersome, requiring the driver to manually operate a lever. 3. Adjustment considerations: When adjusting the seat, it's not just about height but also the forward/backward position. The seat should be adjusted to the driver's optimal driving position—neither too far nor too close. If adjusted too far, the driver may not be able to brake promptly. If adjusted too close, the driver's body will be uncomfortably close to the steering wheel and may hinder ease of control.

What does L4 mean?

L4 refers to a standard inline 4-cylinder engine. The majority of small-displacement vehicles are equipped with L4 engines, and such cars are the most common, including models like Jetta, Santana, and Besturn. Generally, cylinder blocks can be categorized into the following three types: 1. General-type cylinder block: Its characteristic is that the oil pan mounting plane and the crankshaft rotation center are at the same height. The advantages of this cylinder block are its small body height, light weight, compact structure, ease of processing, and convenient crankshaft installation and removal. However, its disadvantage is relatively poor rigidity and strength. 2. Raised-type cylinder block: Its characteristic is that the oil pan mounting plane is lower than the crankshaft rotation center. Its advantages are good strength and rigidity, capable of withstanding greater mechanical loads. However, its disadvantages include poorer manufacturability, a bulky structure, and more difficult processing. 3. Tunnel-type cylinder block: In this type, the main bearing holes for the crankshaft are integral, using rolling bearings, with larger main bearing holes, and the crankshaft is installed from the rear of the cylinder block. Its advantages are a compact structure, good rigidity and strength, but its disadvantages include high precision requirements for processing, poorer manufacturability, and inconvenient crankshaft installation and removal.

How Long Does It Take to Get the License After Passing Subject 4?

After passing Subject 4, you can receive the license on-site, usually within about 2 hours. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theoretical test or driver's theoretical test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license examination. The main content includes: safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and post-traffic accident handling knowledge. The Subject 4 test consists of 50 questions, presented in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and the addition of a safety and common sense test, commonly known as "Subject 4," which assesses "driving ethics." Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. Officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. Before the test, students can study traffic regulations through driver simulation test software on mobile or computer devices.
