What items are included in Mercedes-Benz's B maintenance?

Mercedes-Benz's B maintenance items: 1. Engine oil level check: Park the vehicle on a level surface. Pull out the dipstick to check the oil level; if the level is between the (F) and (L) marks, it is within the normal range. 2. Engine coolant level check: When the engine is hot, never open the radiator cap, as you may be scalded by splashing coolant or high-temperature steam. 3. Brake fluid level check: The brake fluid level should be between the high and low marks to be considered normal. 4. Clutch master cylinder fluid level check: The clutch fluid level should be between the high and low marks; if it is below the standard line, the master or slave cylinder seals may be damaged. 5. Battery maintenance check: Check if the battery is securely fastened; the electrolyte level should be between the upper and lower limits. If it is close to the lower limit, promptly add electrolyte or distilled water to reach the upper limit. 6. Tire check: Check the tire pressure monthly at normal temperature; if it is below the standard, promptly inflate the tires. 7. Belt check: If the belt makes noise when starting the engine or during normal driving. 8. Spark plug check: A normal spark plug has intact insulation ceramic without cracks or leakage.

Can I re-select a license plate number if I didn't confirm it on 12123?

You can re-select a license plate number if you didn't confirm it on 12123. If the user is still in the number selection stage and has not officially registered at the vehicle management office, they can choose a new number again. Generally, after successfully selecting a number on your own, the selected group of numbers will have a retention period of 3 working days, during which you are not allowed to conduct another online vehicle number selection or modify previously submitted information. If you don't like the selected group of numbers, you can log back into the traffic management 12123 after the 3-day retention period ends and choose a new group of numbers. However, normally there are limits to how many times you can abandon the currently selected number, so be careful not to exceed the limit, as it may affect your license plate registration. Number Selection Rules: If the number selected on traffic management 12123 is unsuitable, you can also go to the vehicle management office for a '50-choose-1' selection, which gives you an additional chance to pick a number. For newly released number segments, within 7 days of their release, only the random selection method is available. After 7 days, the system randomly adds them to the self-selection pool, providing both self-selection and random selection methods.

What does 'Selected License Plate Pending Confirmation' mean on Traffic Management 12123?

When your selected license plate shows 'pending confirmation' on 12123, you need to visit the vehicle management office for confirmation. After selecting your license plate number, you need to complete the following steps at the vehicle management office: Drive your vehicle to the local vehicle management office or license plate service station. Bring the vehicle qualification certificate, tax payment certificate copy, compulsory insurance policy, owner's ID card, and vehicle origin certificate. Complete the vehicle inspection at the inspection window. Pay the license plate registration fees, including costs for the license plate, temporary plate, registration certificate, and vehicle license. At the vehicle license window, inform the staff that you've completed online plate selection. This is crucial - otherwise they might process an on-site selection, which cannot be canceled. Finally, wait for your license plate to be issued. After selecting a plate number on the 12123 system, if confirmed, the owner must submit required documents at the vehicle management office within the specified period. If not processed within the deadline, the selected plate will automatically become invalid and return to the available pool. This cancellation doesn't affect the owner's eligibility for future online pre-selections - they may repeat the online process or choose plates directly at the office using the '20-choose-1' random selection system.

Can a car be sold if it has been mortgaged?

Vehicles with outstanding mortgage loans cannot be sold or transferred. Legal Analysis: Generally, mortgaged vehicles cannot be transferred. According to relevant laws, during the mortgage period, the mortgagor cannot transfer the mortgaged property without the consent of the mortgagee, unless the transferee repays the debt to extinguish the mortgage. This means that a mortgaged vehicle cannot be transferred without the consent of the lending institution. However, if the buyer repays the debt on behalf of the borrower in their name, the vehicle can be sold after the mortgage is lifted. Additionally, when using a vehicle under one's name as collateral for a loan, it is essential to bring the relevant documents to the vehicle management office to complete the mortgage cancellation registration process upon loan repayment. The vehicle cannot be transferred unless the mortgage is first lifted. During the mortgage period, the mortgagor cannot transfer the mortgaged property without the consent of the mortgagee, unless the transferee repays the debt to extinguish the mortgage. If the mortgagee and the mortgagor fail to reach an agreement on the method of mortgage realization, the mortgagee may request the People's Court to auction or sell the mortgaged property. The mortgaged property should be priced or sold with reference to the market price. During the mortgage period, the mortgagor cannot transfer the mortgaged property without the consent of the mortgagee, unless the transferee repays the debt to extinguish the mortgage.

Is the Accelerator on the Left or Right?

The accelerator is on the right side of the car. In a manual transmission car, from left to right, the pedals are the clutch, brake, and accelerator; while in an automatic transmission car, the left pedal is the brake and the right pedal is the accelerator, so the accelerator is located on the right. The accelerator, also known as the throttle or gas pedal, is the control device that regulates the engine's power (thrust). In piston aircraft engines, the throttle controls the carburetor's throttle valve opening to regulate the cylinder's filling volume, thereby determining the engine's output power. In gas turbine engines, the throttle controls the metered fuel flow of the fuel regulator, thus determining the thrust generated by the engine. When driving a manual transmission car, the left foot is only responsible for pressing the clutch pedal, while the accelerator and brake pedals are both controlled by the right foot. In an automatic transmission car, the left foot is not used, and only the right foot controls the brake and accelerator pedals. If the left foot is on the brake pedal, the right foot must release the accelerator when braking. Pressing both pedals simultaneously can easily lead to dangerous situations. If the right foot controls both the accelerator and brake, when braking, the right foot must lift off and leave the accelerator pedal before pressing the brake.

How to Turn on the Low Beam Headlights of the Sylphy?

Sylphy turning on the low beam headlights: Rotate the light control lever on the left side of the steering wheel towards the front passenger side. Rotating it twice turns on the low beam headlights, while rotating it once turns on the front position lights, instrument panel lights, and rear combination lights. When the headlights are on, pushing the entire light control lever forward turns on the high beam headlights, returning it to the original position turns off the high beam, and pulling it back flashes the headlights once. Below is some related information about the Sylphy's low beam headlights: 1. The low beam headlights have an illumination range of about 30-40 meters. This means that if you detect an obstacle within this range and brake immediately, there will be no gap between the car and the object. Of course, this assumes good car condition, road condition, and driver reaction time. If the speed is higher, or if the car or road condition is poor, or the driver is fatigued with a longer reaction time, it can be dangerous. Therefore, it is essential to control the speed when driving at night. 2. The difference between high beam and low beam headlights: Both are used for nighttime illumination, but the high beam has a higher angle and longer distance, while the low beam has a lower angle and shorter distance. It is generally advisable not to use high beams when driving in the city because urban areas usually have good lighting conditions. The high angle of the high beam can easily dazzle oncoming drivers and pedestrians, affecting their vision and posing safety risks. It is also considered impolite driving behavior.
