The fuse box in the BMW 5 Series is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the glove compartment, remove the interior trim panel to access the fuse box. Due to the numerous electronic devices in a car, each equipped with an independent fuse, fuses are centralized in one location for easier future replacement and maintenance. This location is referred to as the fuse box. The fuse box is responsible for transmitting driving information to various parts of the vehicle and is a critical component in the car's electronic control system. Function of automotive fuses: When the circuit current is too high or the temperature is too elevated, the fuse ensures circuit safety by melting itself. Replacing a fuse: After opening the fuse box, locate the corresponding function and number of the fuse, then find and replace the fuse according to the number. Maintaining fuse box dryness: When washing the car, avoid directly spraying the engine compartment with a water gun. The fuse box in the engine compartment should be kept dry.

How to reset tire pressure on BMW 320?

The tire pressure reset button is located on the center console. Use the up and down selection buttons on the light switch to navigate to the tire pressure loss display icon, then briefly press the BC button (located on the left side of the light switch). Next, press and hold the BC button until a checkmark appears at the bottom of the instrument cluster. Drive at a constant speed for 3 kilometers to complete the initialization. The reset can only be performed when the ignition is in position 2 or during idle. Tire pressure should not be too high or too low. If the pressure is too high, the contact area between the tire and the ground decreases, increasing the pressure on the tire's contact patch and accelerating wear, though it may improve fuel efficiency. However, grip is reduced, especially during emergency braking, leading to longer stopping distances. If the pressure is too low, the contact area between the tire and the ground increases, resulting in higher friction and better grip, but it also increases fuel consumption. Additionally, severe sidewall deformation can reduce the tire's lifespan. Tire pressure is not a fixed value. In summer, when temperatures are high, the pressure should be slightly reduced, typically between 2.2—2.4 bar. In spring, at around 20°C, the pressure should generally be maintained between 2.3-2.5 bar.

How long does the Nissan Sylphy battery last?

Nissan Sylphy battery life is generally 2-4 years. Most small cars now use valve-regulated sealed lead-acid batteries, also known as "maintenance-free batteries". Below is an introduction to battery maintenance: 1. Use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the battery, cleaning off dust, oil stains, white powder, and other contaminants on the panel and terminals that may cause leakage. Regularly cleaning the battery terminals prevents the accumulation of white acidic corrosion powder and extends the battery's lifespan. 2. Open the battery water-filling cap to check if the water level is at the normal position. There are usually upper and lower limit markers on the side of the battery for reference. If the water level is below the lower marker, distilled water must be added. If distilled water is not immediately available, filtered tap water can be used as an emergency measure. Do not add too much water; the standard is to fill it to the middle between the upper and lower markers. 3. Check if the battery is charging normally. If you have a multimeter, measure the voltage across the battery terminals after starting the engine. It must exceed 13V to be considered normal. If the charging voltage is too low, professional inspection of the charging system is required. If you don't have a multimeter, you can use a visual method: after starting the engine, open the battery water-filling cap and check if there are bubbles in each small compartment.

What engine is used in the Volkswagen Polo?

The Polo engine is produced by Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive Company and is a domestically manufactured engine. The engine model of the Polo is EA211-DMB, with a maximum power of 83kW, a maximum torque of 145Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 113. Here are some daily maintenance methods for the Polo engine: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When the oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing the oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

How much activated charcoal is appropriate for a new car?

If you want to use activated charcoal to remove odors in a new car, you need to place at least around 200 kilograms of activated charcoal for it to be effective. Here are some additional tips: Methods to eliminate odors in the car are as follows: Place activated charcoal in the car, with several large bags both in the front and back, to effectively absorb odors. However, every once in a while, the bamboo charcoal bags should be placed in direct sunlight for more than 2-3 hours to restore them to their original condition. If you drive for long periods, you can purchase an air purifier. On days with heavy smog or sandstorms, turn on the internal circulation and the air purifier to block some external pollutants. Use the air conditioning to remove odors. If you cannot open the windows for ventilation, you can use the air conditioning's external circulation to maintain smooth airflow inside the car. The air conditioning should be cleaned regularly, otherwise, it can also accumulate harmful gases.

Why does the Focus shake when cold?

The causes and solutions for the Focus engine shaking are as follows: 1. Ignition system failure: Spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils may develop poor performance after a certain period of operation. Solution: Check the condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils, and replace the spark plugs if necessary. 2. Aging engine components: When the car engine is idling and the electrical system is turned on, it increases the engine load, causing the idle speed to drop. To compensate for the shaking caused by the drop in idle speed, the engine will automatically raise the RPM slightly. Solution: Replace the engine mounts. 3. Unstable oil pressure: Abnormal fuel pump pressure or faulty readings and performance of the intake pressure sensor can also cause engine shaking. Solution: Visit a 4S shop to check the fuel pressure and the intake pressure sensor, and replace related components if necessary.
