The BMW X1 uses an electronic system to monitor engine oil levels. This system provides the driver with information about the oil condition and quantity. Owners can schedule maintenance at a 4S dealership based on the system's reminders or dealer recommendations. Below is relevant information about BMW maintenance: Currently, BMW's after-sales maintenance cycle standards differ from other brands, as there is no fixed replacement interval. Official recommendations are based on the CBS system alerts (integrated into the ConnectedDrive system). The CBS system determines maintenance intervals according to the vehicle's actual wear condition (initial maintenance intervals for most items in the CBS system are 10,000–12,000 km, but these intervals may vary based on actual driving conditions). Owners simply need to visit a dealership for inspection as prompted by the onboard CBS system.

Secure the new bulb in the reflector, reattach the waterproof cover, and plug in the bulb power. Car headlights, also known as car front lights, can be maintained by: 1. Regularly checking the sealing of the headlights and replacing the sealing ring between the lens and reflector if damaged; 2. Regularly cleaning the reflector and replacing it if it turns black or the brightness decreases; 3. Regularly cleaning dust and stains from the bulb.

Why Do Brakes Lock Up?

Brake lock-up can occur due to the following reasons: 1. The master cylinder rubber cup is stuck and fails to return to its original position; 2. Issues with the fit between the master cylinder rubber cup and the master cylinder inner diameter; 3. The brake piston fails to return or returns poorly; 4. Insufficient rigidity of the brake disc. When the braking system is used frequently, the brake disc may deform under high temperatures due to insufficient rigidity, leading to wheel lock-up during subsequent use. Brake lock-up refers to the situation in vehicles without ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) where the driver forcefully presses the brake pedal while driving, causing the wheel speed to rapidly decrease. When the braking force exceeds the friction between the wheel and the ground, the wheel locks up. The consequences include reduced friction between the tire and the ground, leading to dangerous phenomena such as skidding, fishtailing, and sudden spinning.

How to Know If the Antifreeze Is Low?

Methods to know if the antifreeze is low: 1. Check the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard—if it lights up, it likely indicates a lack of antifreeze; 2. Open the engine hood directly to inspect the antifreeze reservoir. If the fluid level is below the MIN mark, do not continue driving. It is necessary to add antifreeze promptly at this time. Automotive antifreeze ensures the car can still operate during low winter temperatures. Engine coolant contains substances that lower the freezing point of water, acting as antifreeze to prevent the cooling system from freezing in cold weather. The components of automotive antifreeze include: inorganic substances like calcium chloride, and organic substances such as methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, glycerol, lubricating oil, and purified water.

Replacing the transmission fluid pump; 5. Reinstalling the linkage or cable between the gearshift lever and the manual valve. Maintenance methods for the transmission are: 1. Regularly changing the transmission fluid; 2. Frequently checking the fluid level; 3. Avoiding coasting in neutral; 4. Periodically cleaning the transmission; 5. Avoiding forced gear disengagement; 6. Reducing the duration of idling to warm up the car. The functions of the transmission are: 1. Changing the gear ratio to meet the traction needs under different driving conditions; 2. Enabling reverse driving; 3. Interrupting power transmission to the drive wheels when the engine starts, idles, the car shifts gears, or needs to stop for power output.
