How can I know if my BMW has active steering?

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we can see how to discover if our BMW has active hydraulic power steering or traditional power steering. Hydraulic power steering means that at low speeds we will need fewer turns to make sharp turns. Let's see these two cars compared. The light one is a 530i E60 with active power steering, and has a very large tank and other features, while the dark one is a 330i E90, and we see that the power steering tank is a bit smaller, so it is traditional power steering. This does not mean that the dark one does not have hydraulic power steering: they are both hydraulic, only the light one has active power steering, so it turns better at low speeds than the other. Another way to check this is from the interior: if it only takes two turns to turn the wheels from all the way right to all the way left, then it is active power steering.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
