Manual transmission flooded cars are harmful. Below is relevant information about vehicle wading: Introduction to vehicle wading: As the name suggests, vehicle wading refers to driving a vehicle through low-lying, waterlogged roads. This usually occurs during rainy weather when poor drainage leads to water accumulation in low-lying road sections. Precautions: Before wading, observe the road conditions carefully; maintain steady power while in the water; after wading, inspect the electrical system. If a car stalls in water, the main cause is usually water entering the exhaust pipe, though electrical damage may also occur in some cases. Once a car stalls in water, do not attempt to restart it, as this may cause water to enter the intake manifold and damage the valves, potentially leading to severe engine failure in extreme cases. Instead, the car should be towed immediately to a 4S shop for professional handling.

What functions should be turned on when driving in heavy rain?

When encountering heavy rain, functions such as auto start-stop and auto hold should be turned off. Here are some tips for driving in heavy rain: 1. Proper use of lights: Whether it's day or night, always turn on the low beam and position lights when driving in rain or fog. If the rain is too heavy or visibility is poor due to thick fog, turn on the fog lights. Hazard lights should only be used when parking or during emergency braking to alert vehicles behind. They should not be turned on randomly during normal driving, as this can make it difficult for vehicles behind with poor visibility to discern the lane-changing intentions of the vehicle ahead or to spot vehicles stopped on the road due to various reasons in bad weather. 2. Low speed and high RPM when passing through waterlogged areas: If you need to pass through a waterlogged area, drive in a low gear at a slow speed, maintaining steady throttle. Avoid stopping, shifting gears, or making sharp turns midway. Even if you use neutral gear, keep revving the engine to ensure the exhaust pressure is higher than the water pressure, preventing water from flowing back into the exhaust pipe and damaging the exhaust system. If the water depth exceeds the center of the wheel or the exhaust pipe, it's best not to proceed to avoid engine stalling during passage.

What audio system is used in the Mercedes-Benz R-Class?

Mercedes-Benz's audio supplier is the American company Harman Kardon, but Mercedes-Benz racing cars generally use ZONDRER, and some AMG models use BOSE. The C200 should be equipped with Harman Kardon. Burmester: Burmester also enjoys a thunderous reputation in the audio industry. Compared to other audio brands, Burmester is a rising star but has developed very rapidly. It pursues the ultimate reproduction of sound, and in this aspect, it is second to none. Currently, Burmester is already at the pinnacle of the world's top audio brands, a position widely recognized. The Burmester audio system installed in Mercedes-Benz vehicles can also automatically rotate and rise when music is turned on, complemented by ambient lighting, creating a very ceremonial feel. Harman Kardon: The Harman Kardon Group, founded in 1953, is a publicly listed company from the United States, with renowned audio brands under its umbrella such as JBL, AKG, Mark-Levinson, and Lexicon. In terms of sound quality, Harman Kardon's style, like BOSE, is full of the American sound signature. It has ample low-frequency presence, extremely deep bass extension, yet with a certain elasticity to the sound, delivering a strong impact. However, the bass can be slightly muddy, making it more suitable for rock-style music.

How to Solve Traction Control System Malfunction?

Here are the solutions for traction control system malfunctions: 1. Replace the fuel, fuel injectors, spark plugs, or fuel pump. Fuel system issues can reduce fuel injection volume, such as clogged injectors, low fuel pressure, or impurities in the gasoline. 2. Inspect and replace the air flow meter or oxygen sensor. Inaccurate air measurement can cause discrepancies between the detected and actual air intake. Closed-loop feedback signals may also be inaccurate, such as with faulty oxygen sensors. Below is the working principle of the traction control system: 1. The control device of the traction control system is a computer that monitors the speed of all four wheels and the steering wheel angle. When the car accelerates, if the computer detects a significant speed difference between the drive wheels and non-drive wheels, it immediately determines that the driving force is excessive and sends a signal to reduce the engine's fuel supply, thereby decreasing the driving force and reducing wheel slip. 2. The computer uses the steering wheel angle sensor to understand the driver's steering intentions. By monitoring the speed difference between the left and right wheels via wheel speed sensors, it determines whether the car's steering degree matches the driver's intentions. 3. If the computer detects understeer (or oversteer), it immediately determines that the driving force on the drive wheels is excessive and sends a command to reduce the driving force to align with the driver's steering intentions.

What are the steps for car waxing?

About the detailed steps for car waxing are as follows: 1. Cleaning: Before waxing the car, the vehicle must be thoroughly cleaned. Remember not to blindly use dishwashing liquid or soapy water. If there is no dedicated car wash solution, you can clean the vehicle with clean water, dry the car body, and then apply wax. 2. Polishing: Polishing is also called priming, which involves grinding away the aged paint. Without polishing, the car won't shine, and the success of waxing depends on the preparatory polishing work. If the paint surface is uneven, it will be difficult to apply wax evenly, and achieving a shiny finish will also be challenging. 3. Wax application: Wax application can be divided into manual waxing and mechanical waxing. Manual waxing is simple and easy to perform, while mechanical waxing is more efficient. Whether manual or mechanical, ensure the paint surface is evenly coated with wax. 4. Buffing: The wax should be wiped off before it completely dries. Depending on the instructions of different car waxes, buffing can be done 5~10 minutes after wax application. Follow the principle of applying wax first and then buffing, ensuring the buffed car surface is free from contamination. 5. Finishing: If the wax is applied unevenly, it may cause reflection issues. Spraying a layer of car care product on the waxed car body can protect the wax and enhance the glossiness of the car surface.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Braking in Place?

Abnormal noise when braking in place can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Use of low-quality or overly hard brake pads: If low-quality or overly hard brake pads are used, they may produce a squeaking sound when rubbing against the brake disc during braking. Therefore, it is essential to use high-quality brake pads when replacing them. 2. Presence of sand or foreign objects between the brake pads and brake disc: During normal driving, it is inevitable to pass through some complex road conditions. Due to the unique design of disc brakes, some sand or foreign objects may enter between the brake pads and the brake disc, which can also cause abnormal noise during braking.
