The engine number of the BMW 530 is located on the lower left side of the engine. You can see it by lifting the car and shining a flashlight near the gap around the left front wheel. The engine number consists of four parts: the prefix, middle section, suffix, and tail. It is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, industry practices, and engine attributes to a batch of identical products, representing information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, manufacturing process, intended use, and production batch of the engine. Taking the 2021 BMW 530Li Leading Luxury Package as an example: it is equipped with a 2.0T inline four-cylinder engine, with a maximum power output of 185 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and a top speed of 250 km/h.

Can ETC be removed and reinstalled after installation?

ETC can be removed and reinstalled after installation. However, the ETC device will become invalid if removed by yourself, as it has an anti-tamper feature. There is a small switch on the back of the ETC electronic tag. Once it is peeled off from the windshield, the internal switch will automatically close. Therefore, you must bring your vehicle's registration certificate to the ETC service provider for reactivation. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of waiting in line. Green and eco-friendly: Promotes low-carbon travel by allowing vehicles to pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, and minimizing pollution. Reduced wear and tear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, reducing wear and fuel consumption. Users also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees. Improved efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase vehicle passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation smart cards in key city clusters will be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will significantly increase." It also set a target in the "13th Five-Year Plan" for comprehensive transportation development: "By 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles should reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC for trucks and explore deeper integration of the ETC system with smart transportation directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination. This will provide comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners, meaning more application scenarios will support ETC usage. ETC billing principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, the computer network technology is used to settle accounts with the bank in the background. This achieves the purpose of vehicles paying toll fees without stopping at toll stations, all based on the principle of "pass first, deduct later." Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the driver's view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have windshields with a large rear tilt angle, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag requires power but generally does not need charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-tamper rod connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-tamper rod in. If removed arbitrarily, the rod will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Things to note when using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic fee deduction for the wrong vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h. If the vehicle speed is too fast, the system may fail to read the vehicle's device information, resulting in a failed fee deduction. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance can also cause the fee deduction to fail.

Should the Transmission Filter Be Replaced?

The transmission filter should be replaced, typically along with the transmission fluid, every two years or approximately every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, it depends on the situation. Most filters are made of filter paper, which can accumulate a lot of impurities over time and thus require replacement. Some models use metal filters with a fine wire mesh as the filtering layer. These can be cleaned and reused when changing the transmission fluid, eliminating the need for replacement. In certain models, removing the oil pan is necessary when draining the transmission fluid, allowing access to the filter inside. Over time, friction between metal components in the transmission generates fine debris, and the transmission fluid can become contaminated. The transmission filter intercepts and filters these impurities, preventing potential transmission failures.

How to reset the tire pressure light on Peugeot 4008?

Peugeot 4008 tire pressure light reset method is as follows: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, release the short-distance trip counter reset button, and the "SERVICE" indicator will appear on the display. Pull out the minute button on the clock, turn the minute button to the right, and the mileage will be displayed on the screen. 2. Turn off the engine to reset the reminder message. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and the "SERVICE" indicator will disappear. Below is relevant information about tire pressure monitoring: 1. The system automatically monitors tire pressure while driving. When the vehicle is in motion, the system continuously monitors the pressure of all four tires. The monitoring method compares the tire pressure calibration value with the wheel speed sensor information, and an alarm will be triggered if low tire pressure is detected. 2. After adjusting tire pressure or replacing tires, tire pressure calibration must be performed to reinitialize the system. Correct tire inflation pressure information can be found on the tire pressure label.
