BMW 5 Series seat heating switch is located on the LCD touch screen below the central control screen air vent, with an icon of a seat + curved lines, which is the seat heating switch. Introduction to Seat Heating: Seat heating utilizes electric heating wires inside the seat to warm the seat interior, transferring heat to the occupant through thermal conduction, improving comfort by addressing the cold seat issue caused by prolonged parking in winter. Precautions for Using Heated Seats: The seat heating function only works when the ignition switch is turned on; to protect the heating components of the seat heating system, avoid kneeling on the seat or applying point loads to the seat surface and backrest.

What parts need to be replaced during the third maintenance of Kia Sportage?

The regular items for the third maintenance of Kia Sportage include replacing engine oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin air filter, spark plugs, etc. Some brand manufacturers may add additional maintenance items. The reason for these factors depends on the service life of the car parts. Some parts have a shorter service life and are prone to contamination, so they need to be replaced frequently. Other parts have a longer service life and thus a longer replacement cycle. The specific details are as follows: 1. Engine oil replacement: Under the harsh conditions of high temperature and high pressure inside the engine, the shelf life of engine oil is significantly shortened, its performance greatly declines, and it loses its protective effect on the engine. The replacement cycle for mineral oil is about 5,000 kilometers; for synthetic oil, it is about 10,000 kilometers. 2. Oil filter replacement: To ensure the cleanliness of the oil circuit, the engine is equipped with an oil filter in the lubrication system. Its purpose is to prevent impurities from mixing into the oil, causing oxidation and producing sludge that can clog the oil circuit. The replacement cycle for the oil filter is the same as that for the engine oil, and it must be replaced simultaneously with the oil. 3. Air filter replacement: The air filter serves to block dust and particles inhaled by the engine during the intake process. If the filter is not cleaned for a long time, dust can enter the engine, causing abnormal wear on the cylinder walls. It is best to clean the air filter every 5,000 kilometers by blowing it clean with an air gun, and replace it every 10,000 kilometers.

What is the method to permanently eliminate the three-way catalytic converter fault light?

The three-way catalytic converter fault light cannot be eliminated. When the vehicle's three-way catalytic converter is functioning properly, the fault light will not illuminate. If the three-way catalytic converter light comes on, it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's three-way catalytic converter, which requires inspection and repair. The three-way catalytic converter transforms harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction processes. It features stable performance and reliable quality, and the product is widely compatible with models from Toyota, Honda, Buick, Audi, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Suzuki, Changhe, and others.

How to Use Lights When Pulling Over at Night?

Nighttime temporary pull-over light usage method: First, turn on the hazard warning flashers. After the vehicle is pulled over and the hazard warning flashers are activated, the driver should try to stay away from the malfunctioning vehicle and turn off the high beams and low beams to avoid battery drain. Below are the relevant details: 1. Using high beams for illumination: When driving at night on national highways, expressways, or roads without street lighting, drivers should use high beams for illumination. When high beams are on, a prominent blue light will illuminate on the dashboard as a reminder. 2. Using low beams for illumination: When encountering oncoming traffic, promptly switch back to low beams to prevent the glaring high beams from causing dazzle to the other driver and interfering with their line of sight.
