My own Mercedes-Benz is equipped with the factory-installed dash cam, which continues recording for a while after the engine is turned off. This feature is called parking surveillance. After setting it up in the app, it automatically switches to energy-saving mode when the engine is off, and starts recording as soon as it detects vibration or impact. The built-in small battery can last for about half an hour, and it can record even longer if connected to the cigarette lighter. A while ago, when I parked in my neighborhood, someone scratched my car, and it was all thanks to this dash cam that I got the evidence. Just be careful not to drain the car battery—I usually turn it off after a maximum of eight hours when the engine is off to avoid being unable to start the car. Overall, Mercedes-Benz's design is quite thoughtful, very practical for preventing theft and collisions. I recommend new owners check the settings in the app.

What is the correct way to hold a car steering wheel while driving?

When driving, the correct way to hold a car steering wheel should be: 1. Place both hands at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, with slightly bent fingers gripping the rim of the steering wheel; 2. Position the steering wheel at the center of the tiger's mouth (between thumb and index finger), apply gentle force with both hands, maintaining a 45 to 50-degree angle between the forearm and upper arm. The steering wheel is typically connected to the steering shaft via splines, functioning to convert the force applied by the driver on the wheel's rim into torque that is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Using a larger diameter steering wheel reduces the manual force required from the driver when turning. The steering intermediate shaft serves as a connecting component between the steering gear and steering shaft, facilitating steering gear standardization while compensating for manufacturing and installation errors, thereby optimizing the installation of steering components in the vehicle.

How to Straighten a Misaligned Steering Wheel?

To straighten a misaligned steering wheel, first turn the car's steering wheel all the way to the right to expose the rear of the left front wheel. Then, use a wrench to loosen the fixing nut and rotate the left tie rod clockwise. After adjusting the left front wheel, proceed to adjust the right front wheel in the opposite direction. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of vehicles such as cars, ships, and airplanes. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. The steering wheel mainly consists of a skeleton, foam, and mounting clips or screw holes corresponding to the driver's airbag (DAB). Typically, the steering wheel is connected to the steering shaft via splines, and its primary function is to transform the driver's applied force into torque for the steering shaft.
