Keeping the door light on does consume power. Here are the details: 1. Close the door: The door and the door light switch rely on the battery for power. Therefore, it is best to close all windows before turning off the engine, shut the door after turning off the engine, and use the long-press lock button method to secure the door after leaving the vehicle. 2. Turn off the air conditioning and audio before shutting down the engine: The air conditioning system involves the compressor, blower, audio, and door light. These electrical devices, if not turned off before shutting down the engine, can place a heavy burden on the battery and cause damage. 3. Avoid leaving the vehicle parked for long periods: The vehicle's battery will automatically discharge during prolonged inactivity. The vehicle should be used regularly to prevent automatic battery discharge issues.

What is the curb weight of the Mercedes-Benz S320?

The curb weight of the Mercedes-Benz S320 is 1770KG. Definition of curb weight: The curb weight of a car, also commonly referred to as the 'unladen weight,' refers to the weight of the vehicle when it is fully equipped according to the manufacturer's specifications (including items like the spare tire and tools) and with all fluids (such as oil and water) filled. This is an important design parameter for automobiles. Significance of curb weight: The curb weight of a car is also a crucial factor affecting fuel consumption. There is a direct correlation between a vehicle's fuel consumption and its curb weight—the heavier the curb weight, the higher the fuel consumption. For example, in a small car, an increase of 40 kg in curb weight can lead to a 1% rise in fuel consumption. This serves as a useful guideline for consumers: if the primary purpose of purchasing a car is for family use, it is advisable to prioritize economical models, as they generally have lighter body weights, lower fuel consumption, and reduced operating costs. In the market, family cars with engine displacements ranging from 1.5L to 1.8L typically have an optimal curb weight between 1.1 to 1.3 tons.

What is the function of an ignition coil?

The function of an ignition coil is to convert the 12V low-voltage electricity from the power source into 15–20kV high-voltage electricity. This high-voltage electricity is then transformed into a high-voltage spark by the spark plug, igniting the combustible air-fuel mixture. The working principle of an ignition coil: 1. The reason an ignition coil can convert the low-voltage electricity from the vehicle into high voltage is due to its similar structure to a conventional transformer, with a large turns ratio between the primary coil and the secondary coil. 2. However, the operation of an ignition coil differs from that of a conventional transformer. While a conventional transformer can operate continuously, an ignition coil works intermittently, repeatedly storing and releasing energy at varying frequencies depending on the engine's speed. 3. When the primary coil is connected to the power source, a strong magnetic field is generated around it as the current increases, and the iron core stores this magnetic energy. When the switching device disconnects the primary coil circuit, the magnetic field of the primary coil rapidly decays, inducing a very high voltage in the secondary coil. 4. The faster the magnetic field of the primary coil disappears, the greater the current at the moment of disconnection, and the larger the turns ratio between the two coils, the higher the voltage induced in the secondary coil.

What sound does engine cylinder scoring make?

It may be accompanied by a rattling sound, but cylinder scoring can only be determined by certain symptoms and not solely by engine noise. Methods to determine whether an engine has cylinder scoring: 1. Depending on the severity, cylinder scoring can be divided into three stages: initial, intermediate, and advanced. 2. In the initial stage, the engine noise is not very distinct. The main symptom is smoke escaping from the oil filler port and crankcase ventilation pipe when accelerating or intermittently increasing throttle. The solution is to remove the piston connecting rod assembly for inspection and cleaning, replace the engine oil and oil filter, and clean the oil pan. 2. In the intermediate stage, there will be abnormal noises similar to knocking. Symptoms include poor idle performance, and when the oil filler cap is opened, a large amount of smoke will rhythmically escape. The exhaust pipe emits thick blue smoke. The solution is to polish with an oilstone and replace with pistons of the same model and quality, as well as piston rings of the same specifications. 3. In the advanced stage, there will be more obvious knocking and blow-by sounds, along with a noticeable drop in power. The noise worsens with increased throttle, becomes chaotic, and the engine vibrates. In such cases, the cylinder liner, piston, and piston rings must be replaced as a complete set.
