You can drive on the highway during the vehicle break-in period. Here are specific precautions to take during the break-in period: 1. Avoid emergency braking as much as possible during the break-in period. Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system but also increases the shock load on the chassis and engine. 2. Avoid overloading. Running a new car at full load during the break-in period can damage components. To reduce the load on the body and powertrain, choose relatively flat roads to avoid vibration, collisions, or emergency braking. 3. Avoid long-distance driving. During the break-in period, prolonged driving increases the engine's continuous working time, which can easily lead to part wear.

What to Do If a Small Amount of Paint is Scratched Off the Car?

If a small amount of paint is scratched off the car, you can use a touch-up pen or perform a touch-up. The steps for touch-up are as follows: 1. Thoroughly clean the surface to be repaired before starting; 2. Use alcohol to remove wax, moisture, oil, and rust from the area to be repaired to enhance the adhesion of the paint film; 3. Shake the touch-up pen vigorously before use, hearing the sound of the mixing ball for at least 30 shakes; 4. Open the cap of the touch-up pen in an upright position to avoid paint spillage; 5. For deeper scratches, apply the paint repeatedly with the brush; 6. The area touched up with the pen may be slightly uneven. After the paint film dries, use 2000-grit wet sandpaper to smooth it until the surface is level with the surrounding area.

What is the role of the planetary gear mechanism in an automatic transmission?

The role of the planetary gear mechanism in an automatic transmission is: 1. To use clutches and brakes to change the relative motion relationships of the components within the planetary gear mechanism; 2. To achieve different gear transmissions, altering the transmission ratio and direction. The planetary gear mechanism consists of a sun gear, ring gear, planetary carrier, and planet gears. The working principles of the planetary gear mechanism are: 1. Power is input from the sun gear and output from the ring gear, with the planetary carrier locked by the mechanism; 2. Power is input from the sun gear and output from the planetary carrier, with the ring gear locked; 3. Power is input from the planetary carrier and output from the sun gear, with the ring gear locked; 4. Power is input from the planetary carrier and output from the ring gear, with the sun gear locked.

What gear should a Mercedes-Benz be in when waiting at a red light?

Mercedes-Benz gear selection when waiting at a red light is as follows: 1. Never shift to P gear: It's strictly prohibited to shift to P gear while waiting at a red light. This is to protect the transmission. P gear is the parking gear, and when engaged, it actually locks the transmission with a latch to ensure the vehicle stays stationary. 2. Maintain current gear and hold the brake: The only drawback is that your foot may get tired, especially during long red lights. 3. Shift to N gear and engage the handbrake: N gear is designed for short stops like waiting at traffic lights. When in N gear, the transmission is designed to eliminate forward traction force and reduce engine power, thus saving fuel during brief stops. However, using only N gear may cause the vehicle to roll on slopes.
