The total mileage of a BMW is displayed on the instrument cluster. Here is a related introduction about where to find the total mileage on a BMW 5 Series: 1. Unable to see the total mileage: It is likely that the displayed data has been switched. The instrument cluster can show various data such as remaining range, trip mileage, average speed, average fuel consumption, instantaneous fuel consumption, etc. 2. Switching button: On the left side of the steering wheel, at the top of the turn signal lever, there is a button. Pressing this button allows you to toggle through the displayed data until "total" appears, which indicates the total mileage. For some models, there is a button at the lower left corner of the instrument cluster; pressing it will display the total mileage.

Why Can Engine Noise Be Heard Inside the Car?

Excessive engine noise in a car can be caused by exhaust pipe leaks, tire noise, wind noise, and other factors. Exhaust pipe leaks: When there is a leak in the intake or exhaust pipe, gases escape from the leak during engine startup, causing vibrations and generating noise. Tire noise: Tire noise is produced by the friction between the tires and the road surface during high-speed driving. The level of tire noise depends on road and vehicle conditions—poorer road conditions result in louder noise. Additionally, there is a significant difference in tire noise between asphalt and concrete roads. Wind noise: Wind noise occurs when the pressure of oncoming wind exceeds the sealing resistance of the car doors and enters the cabin during high-speed driving. The faster the speed, the louder the wind noise.

Why do China V vehicles consume urea?

Currently, most China V vehicles in China achieve the China V emission standards through SCR technology (Selective Catalytic Reduction) in engine exhaust aftertreatment. The characteristic of this technology is that it must use automotive urea solution to reduce NOx in engine exhaust. Therefore, during operation, China V vehicles must not run out of automotive urea solution in the urea tank. The role of automotive urea solution: Adding automotive urea solution is not only beneficial for environmental protection, but also increases economic benefits in the long run, achieving a win-win goal for both the environment and vehicle owners. Precautions: If users do not add automotive urea solution or use inferior quality automotive urea, the engine's ECU will record the information of excessive vehicle emissions. During annual vehicle inspections, management authorities can read this information with specialized testing equipment and impose corresponding penalties according to regulations.

What Causes the Friction Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel?

When turning the steering wheel, the friction sound is generally caused by the relative movement between the dust cover at the bottom of the steering column and the steering column, resulting in friction interference noise. Below is relevant information: 1. Steering Wheel: A wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of vehicles such as cars, ships, and airplanes. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. 2. Steering Column: The steering column is the component that connects the steering wheel to the steering gear in the steering system. Through the steering column, the driver transmits torque to the steering gear, driving the steering gear to achieve steering. Common types of steering columns include hydraulic power steering columns, electro-hydraulic power steering columns, and electric power steering columns, each with different systems.

What is the function of the P gear in an automatic transmission?

P gear is used for parking, primarily utilizing a mechanical device to lock the rotating parts of the car, preventing it from moving. Below is an introduction to automatic transmissions: 1. Automatic principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears there are, the more fuel-efficient the vehicle. 2. Driving tips: For manual transmission cars, higher RPMs should be used when shifting gears. Engines are designed to operate at higher RPMs, with parameters such as dynamic balance and rotational inertia of various components designed based on high RPMs. If the engine operates for extended periods under non-optimal conditions, the load and wear on internal components naturally increase, leading to frequent shaking and knocking, and affecting lifespan. Choosing 3000 RPM as the shift point ensures that after shifting, the engine operates at around 2300 RPM, keeping it within a healthy RPM range.

Is Left Reverse Parking More Difficult or Right Reverse Parking?

Right reverse parking is relatively more difficult than left reverse parking because the perspective is limited during right reverse parking. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviation for the field driving skill test subject. The test items for small cars C1 and C2 include five mandatory tests: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves). 2. Reverse Parking: Reverse parking has been a mandatory item for obtaining a small car driver's license since 2013. It tests the driver's ability to operate the vehicle in a field. Reverse parking is an assessment point in the driver's test, which involves correctly reversing the vehicle into the garage from both sides while in motion.

Are charging piles universally compatible?

Yes, they are universally compatible. Vehicle batteries are designed and manufactured with considerations for both fast and slow charging. As long as they are compatible, they can be used. Definition of charging piles: Charging piles function similarly to fuel dispensers in gas stations. They can be fixed on the ground or walls and installed in public buildings (such as public buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots) and residential community parking lots or charging stations. They can charge various types of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels. Features of charging piles: The input end of a charging pile is directly connected to the AC grid, and the output end is equipped with a charging plug for charging electric vehicles. Charging piles generally provide two charging methods: conventional charging and fast charging. Users can swipe a specific charging card on the human-machine interaction interface provided by the charging pile to perform operations such as selecting the charging method, setting charging time, and printing cost data.
