How to activate BMW card key

1. The card key uses NFC communication technology. As long as the vehicle matches the card, you can unlock it by sticking the card to the door handle of the driver's seat.

2. After entering the car, place the card on the central control wireless charging smartphone tray to start the vehicle.

3. After getting out of the car, stick the card to the driver's door handle and lock it when you hear a click.

Take the BMW 3 Series as an example: its length, width and height are 4719mm, 1827mm and 1459mm respectively, the wheelbase is 2851mm, and the maximum speed is 222 kilometers per hour.

Can I still drive my BMW if the yellow engine light is on?

You can still drive your BMW if the yellow engine light is on, but you should reduce your speed and go to the nearest service station for inspection. During this period, pay more attention to whether there are other fault lights, especially red fault lights, then safely pull over and wait for help.

The engine check light usually comes on for the following reasons:

1. Poor combustion state. Poor engine combustion state is the main reason why the engine fault light comes on.

2. Engine knock. There are usually three situations:

The first situation: the car is powerless.

The second situation: the car is powerless and the engine noise is too loud.

The third situation: there is an obvious knocking sound. In the first situation, some engine fault lights will light up, and some will not. In the second and third situations, the engine fault light will definitely light up.

3. Internal reasons why the engine fault light is on:

(1) Poor fuel quality

(2) The inside of the engine cylinder is not clean and has carbon deposits.

No matter what causes the engine fault light to come on, you need to use a computer tester to diagnose it. If it is a false fault code, just clear it directly. If there is a real fault, you need to check and repair it according to the fault code.
