The OBD port on the BMW 5 Series is located near the area below the steering wheel. The OBD interface provides convenience for maintenance personnel, enabling quick fault location and reducing manual diagnosis time. The BMW 5 Series is equipped with a BMW 2.0T inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission for a golden combination. The intelligent lightweight high-rigidity body not only reduces weight but also enhances body strength. Combined with the new BMW's 50:50 weight distribution, it delivers superior driving stability and smoothness. The significantly improved vehicle power-to-weight ratio further highlights the new BMW's exhilarating acceleration performance.

What is the normal tire pressure for Hyundai Elantra?

The normal tire pressure range for Hyundai Elantra is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. The tire pressure monitoring system data of the Elantra will be displayed on the central screen of the instrument panel. The driving tire pressure monitoring will only be displayed a few minutes after driving. When the vehicle is stationary, selecting the tire pressure monitoring interface via the steering wheel button will display "Drive to Display." When the inflation pressure of one or more tires is significantly insufficient, the low-pressure tire position indicator light will illuminate the corresponding position indicator to show the tire with significantly low inflation pressure. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a tire pressure below 2.0 bar is considered too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overextends the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, raising fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement of tire parts, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces cord and rubber functionality, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowouts. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible causes: Abnormal tire pressure. Typically, an alarm is triggered if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset. After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the indicator light to come on. Simply perform a tire pressure reset to resolve this. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, the tire pressure warning light will illuminate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

What brand is the CVT transmission in the 2021 Binrui?

The transmission brand used in the 2021 Binrui is Punch. Punch Powertrain (abbreviated as Punch), headquartered in Sint-Truiden, Belgium, is a supplier of energy-efficient powertrain systems. With over 50 years of experience in the design and production of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), the company also specializes in the development, production, and supply of components for hybrid vehicles (48V and plug-in hybrid PHEV) and dual-clutch transmissions (DCT). The 2021 Binrui manual transmission uses a 6-speed manual gearbox, while the automatic transmission employs a CVT (simulating 8 speeds). A CVT does not have fixed gear ratios; it operates similarly to an automatic transmission but differs in that the gear ratio changes continuously rather than in steps, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted power delivery. For the 2021 Binrui transmission, the following points should be noted during daily use: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged neglect can damage internal components such as bearings and the transmission housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While some experienced drivers may coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so in an automatic can cause overheating and jerking when shifting back to Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers attempt quick shifts to showcase smooth handling, but this can severely damage transmission gears, leading to grinding or other failures over time. Avoid frequent steep hill climbs in Drive (D). Automatic transmissions may overheat under heavy load or upshift prematurely, reducing climbing power. Use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode for better transmission protection. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If the automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in Neutral (N). Never tow it directly using a rope or similar method.

What are the penalty items for the fixed-point parking on the slope in Subject 2?

Penalty items for fixed-point parking on the slope are as follows: After parking, if the right side of the vehicle body is more than 30 cm away from the roadside line, 10 points will be deducted; if it is more than 50 cm away, 100 points will be deducted; crossing or touching the line will result in a 100-point deduction. After parking, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and the deviation is within 50 cm, 10 points will be deducted; if the deviation exceeds 50 cm, 100 points will be deducted. After parking, if the parking brake is not fully engaged, 10 points will be deducted. Failure to start within 30 seconds will result in a 100-point deduction. Stalling once during startup will result in a 10-point deduction. If the gear is not in neutral or park when starting the engine, 100 points will be deducted. If the vehicle rolls back less than 30 cm during startup, 10 points will be deducted; if it rolls back more than 30 cm, 100 points will be deducted. Key points for fixed-point parking on the slope: Upon hearing the instruction for "fixed-point parking on the slope" (approximately 20 meters from the pole), turn on the right turn signal, steer appropriately to the right, and slowly drive the vehicle straight along the right side of the road, paying attention to the distance between the vehicle body and the right-side line. When the vehicle is about 10 meters from the parking pole, approach the target position slowly, accurately, and steadily. Accurately aim at the target, using the parking pole and a specific point on the windshield (or hood) (this point should be determined during practice, as it varies by vehicle model and driver height). When the specific point on the windshield aligns with the parking pole, indicating that the vehicle's bumper is aligned with the pole line, stop immediately.

What does a dripping kettle symbol mean in a car?

Car a dripping kettle symbol is the engine oil pressure warning light, which illuminates when the oil pressure is abnormal. At this point, it is necessary to check whether the engine has any faults, and if needed, you can go to a 4S shop for inspection. The reasons for the continuous illumination of the engine oil pressure warning light include: 1. The engine oil storage is too low, resulting in insufficient or no oil in the lubrication system; 2. The oil is too dirty or thick, causing the oil pump to fail to effectively pump oil, leading to low oil pressure; 3. The oil is thin or becomes thin due to high engine temperature, leaking from the friction gaps of the engine, resulting in excessively low oil pressure.
