The reason is that when the GT was first launched, its excessively high pricing coupled with a lack of standout features in terms of exterior design and performance led to lackluster sales. With market competition intensifying, it would indeed be difficult for the BMW 5 Series GT to attract consumers if it maintained such a high price point. Below is an introduction to BMW: 1. Logo Meaning: B.M.W. stands for Bavarian Motor Works, and the colors and combination of the logo are derived from the coat of arms of Bavaria, where BMW is headquartered. 2. Brand Honors: On December 18, 2018, the "2018 World's 500 Most Influential Brands" list compiled by World Brand Laboratory was announced, with BMW ranking 16th.

What are the procedures for self-study and self-examination of a driver's license?

Below is the process for self-study and self-examination of a driver's license: First, the applicant must bring their ID card to the vehicle management office to apply for the self-study driver's license program. They need to declare the type of vehicle. Currently, self-study is only accepted for C1 and C2 driver's licenses; B and above licenses are not eligible for self-study. Online registration is not available; applicants must register in person, undergo a physical examination, provide fingerprints, and take a photo. Below is additional information on applying for a self-study driver's license: 1. Similar to the current process through a driving school, applicants must apply at the vehicle management office of the traffic police department in their registered residence or place of residence, fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form," and submit their identity proof and physical examination form. 2. After passing the subject one exam, applicants need to install safety auxiliary devices on their vehicle and then submit the required materials to the vehicle management office together with a qualified accompanying instructor. 3. The materials include the "Self-Study Driver's License Information Collection Form," identity proofs of the self-study applicant and the accompanying instructor, and the accompanying instructor's driver's license.

Why is Goodyear DuraPlus so affordable?

Goodyear DuraPlus is affordable because it is an "economy tire" under the Goodyear brand, suitable for cost-conscious car owners. The Goodyear DuraPlus is a tire that focuses on long mileage and durability, excelling not only in noise reduction but also achieving a balance between quietness and wear resistance, making it a relatively "all-round" tire without any particularly notable shortcomings. Here are the specific advantages of Goodyear DuraPlus tires: 1. Durability and toughness: Goodyear DuraPlus utilizes TredLife-Technology design to achieve long mileage performance; the new symmetrical tread pattern supports flexible tire rotation; the upgraded tread compound improves tensile strength and wear resistance, while the optimized carcass design ensures a square contact patch for more uniform stress distribution, further extending tire life and significantly enhancing durability and toughness. The tire's structure features "5-ply tread + 2-ply sidewall" for enhanced protection, with a dual-ply sidewall cord structure and upgraded sidewall compound making the sidewalls more resilient, improving resistance to sidewall impacts and environmental factors. 2. Quietness: DuraPlus continues Goodyear's proud tradition of quiet performance, creating a peaceful and pleasant driving experience through unique tread pattern design. During driving, the tire's narrow lateral grooves reduce noise from air displacement, while optimized groove and block pitch further minimize noise when the tread contacts the road. Additionally, DuraPlus tires include noise-reducing cushions between the cord ply and inner liner, maintaining excellent quiet performance throughout their entire lifespan.

What is the tire pressure reset method for the 2016 Haval H6?

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for more than one minute and then reconnect it; at this point, the trip odometer will reset to zero, and the tire pressure for all four wheels will not display numerical values but only a horizontal line. The yellow warning light on the left speedometer will stop flashing. Then, drive approximately one kilometer, and the tire pressure values for all four wheels will be displayed and return to their previous normal state. Here is some additional information: 1. Normal range: Even when driving on highways in summer, the tire pressure increase for the H6 is only between 0.3-0.4. The maximum tire pressure for the H6 is 2.7, and it will alert when the pressure drops to 1.8. Therefore, in daily use, the summer tire pressure for the H6 can be set around 2.1-2.2, with a maximum not exceeding 2.3. In winter, the tire pressure can be set around 2.3-2.4. This ensures proper tire pressure while preventing excessive pressure due to heat generated during driving. 2. Reasons for the tire pressure warning light in the Great Wall Haval H6: The tire pressure warning light in the Great Wall Haval H6 illuminates when the tire pressure is too low or too high. The Haval H6 alerts when the tire pressure reaches a maximum of 2.7 or a minimum of 1.8. It could also be due to a punctured tire caused by a nail, leading to a rapid drop in pressure, which will also trigger the tire pressure warning light.

Configuration: According to the previous configuration list, the new model will offer three variants. The entry-level variant comes standard with front parking radar, Bluetooth key, soundproof privacy glass, air quality sensor, and includes features such as lane departure warning, lane keeping, collision warning, automatic emergency braking, road sign recognition, and adaptive cruise control. 4. Powertrain: The new model is expected to offer two versions of the 2.0T turbocharged engine. The T4 power engine has a maximum power of 160kW (218PS) and a peak torque of 325N·m; the T5 power engine has a maximum power of 187kW (254PS) and a peak torque of 350N·m. Both engines are paired with an Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission, and the T5 power variant is equipped with BorgWarner's fifth-generation intelligent four-wheel drive system.

What Causes the Clanking Noise When a Corolla Hybrid Goes Over Speed Bumps?

Causes of clanking noise when a Corolla Hybrid goes over speed bumps: Body noise: This issue is usually due to insufficient body rigidity, causing the vehicle to deform while driving, resulting in friction or shaking between doors and door frames, or friction between steel plates due to welding failures in certain areas. Applying adhesive strips on windows or placing rubber pads in friction-prone areas may alleviate or eliminate the noise, but these are temporary fixes. Some vehicles have significant wind noise, which is related to their design. If no additional items have been added, owners should not attempt to resolve it themselves. Loose body components can also cause noise, which can usually be fixed by tightening screws. Engine compartment noise: Some noise from engine vibration is normal, but certain unusual sounds may indicate potential issues. For example, a sharp belt squealing noise is usually caused by belt slippage; a high-pitched metallic sound during engine operation is often due to damaged bearings in the generator, water pump, or power steering pump; a hissing sound could indicate a blocked exhaust system, vacuum tube leakage, or breakage. If there are abnormal noises inside the engine, these are usually serious issues, and the vehicle should be sent for professional inspection and repair as soon as possible. Tire noise: Tire noise is rhythmic and increases in frequency with speed. A dull "thudding" sound is often due to tire tread deformation, bulging, severe wear, or insufficient pressure; a "ticking" sound may indicate small stones stuck in the tread. If the tire makes a roaring noise accompanied by noticeable body shaking or steering pull, it’s likely a tire blowout—pull over and change the tire immediately.
