The rearview mirror heating switch in the BMW 5 Series is located on the right side of the steering wheel, sharing the same button with the rain-sensing wiper function. Taking the 2021 BMW 525Li as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 5106mm, width 1868mm, height 1500mm, and a wheelbase of 3105mm. The 2021 BMW 525Li is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 135 kW and a maximum torque of 290 N·m. It features rear-wheel drive with front double-wishbone independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension.

When I first started driving the BMW 5 Series, finding the rearview mirror heating switch was quite a hassle. After some exploration, I discovered there wasn't a separate button; the design is quite intelligent—it activates in conjunction with the window defogging function, usually triggered automatically by sensors that detect temperature or humidity, requiring no manual operation. However, if you insist on manual intervention, I recommend checking the mirror adjustment knob near the driver's seat door armrest—turning it to the position with a heating icon will enable the function. Of course, this isn't the best practice as it might interfere with the automatic system. Here's a little tip: cleaning the rearview mirror surface of dirt before driving in rain or snow can enhance the heating effect, saving you the trouble of manual operation. If it consistently doesn't work, it might be a sensor malfunction or a blown fuse, so it's best to have it checked at a 4S shop. This ensures safe driving and prolongs the mirror's lifespan—I make it a habit to check before long trips. Remember, stay calm and look carefully; don't press every button on the dashboard like a beginner would!

They directly contact the road surface and, together with the car suspension, help to cushion the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road, improve the car's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bear the weight of the car. 2.

How to Cancel BMW Auto Start-Stop?

To turn off the BMW auto start-stop function: Locate the auto start-stop deactivation button below the engine start button and manually press the Aoff button to disable the auto start-stop feature. Below is relevant information: 1. The auto start-stop function automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving; when it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine, thereby reducing unnecessary fuel consumption. Auto start-stop is primarily designed for urban road use, such as when the car is waiting at traffic lights, and is not needed during highway driving. 2. Avoid using the start-stop function when the vehicle is on a slope. If the engine does not start after releasing the brake on a slope, it may cause the vehicle to roll backward, so it should be turned off. Additionally, be sure to turn off the auto start-stop function when driving through waterlogged roads. If driving daily in the city, you can keep the auto start-stop function on.

How many points are deducted for reversing in a tunnel?

Reversing in a tunnel results in a deduction of 12 points.

Once the incoming vehicle enters the tunnel, you should stop immediately. If the other party yields, proceed quickly but avoid rushing. Slow down in advance. Reduce speed when entering the tunnel. About 50 meters before the tunnel entrance, turn on your headlights, width lights, and taillights, and check your speedometer to adjust your speed according to the posted limit.
