On the central control display, select My Vehicle, then click in sequence: Vehicle Settings -- Lighting -- Interior Lighting -- Ambient Lighting. Here is more information about ambient lighting: 1. Ambient lighting is the setting for the mood lights. Ambient lighting has two options: color and brightness, corresponding to the color and brightness of the mood lights, respectively.

I just picked up my BMW 5 Series last year, and setting up the ambient lighting is quite straightforward. After starting the car, simply press the 【iDrive knob】 on the center console, and when the main menu appears on the screen, select the 【Vehicle Settings】 icon. Scroll down to find the 【Interior Lighting】 option, and once you enter, you'll see preview images of various ambient light colors. Rotate the knob to choose your favorite color—there are solid colors as well as dynamic gradient modes. Additionally, within the settings, you can adjust the brightness, which is divided into ten levels. Remember, the ambient lighting automatically changes color with the driving mode—for example, turning red in Sport mode and blue in Eco Pro mode, which looks especially cool when driving at night!

How many seconds after the red light turns on does the electronic police camera system start taking photos?

When the red light turns on, the electronic police camera system software is already in operation; when the traffic light turns on, the camera system software shuts down 2 seconds in advance; when the yellow light turns on, the camera system software delays operation by 2 seconds. This method helps reduce the probability of the camera system mistakenly capturing vehicles running red lights. Under the following circumstances, you can apply to the traffic police to cancel the penalty for running a red light: If you run a red light to give way to emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire trucks, patrol cars, road rescue vehicles, or special vehicles, and if the vehicle owner has a dashcam, the recorded video can be used as evidence to apply to the traffic management department for penalty cancellation. If you run a red light under the guidance of traffic police, in many cases, if there are traffic police directing vehicle movement on-site, you should follow their instructions. If you are captured running a red light under such circumstances, you can apply for cancellation.

Why is the Ora charging pile flashing red?

Red light flashing is a prompt due to poor network signal, but it does not affect charging. The following are the installation instructions for the Great Wall Ora charging pile: 1. Classification: Charging piles are generally divided into two types based on their ownership: public piles and private piles. Public piles are universal but require payment for electricity and service fees, making the cost relatively high; private piles are only suitable for one's own vehicle and are not universal. 2. Scope of application: When using a public charging pile, make sure to check whether it is suitable for large vehicles or small vehicles, as some old standard piles cannot charge small vehicles, and vice versa. 3. Inspection: Before charging, check that the charging pile equipment is intact, the cables and connectors are in good condition. On rainy days, it is best not to use the charging pile outdoors without a canopy to prevent the risk of electric leakage. After charging is completed, disconnect the charging pile in time to prevent overcharging.
