How to distinguish between Beijing Benz and imported Benz?

Beijing Benz and imported Benz have the following differences: 1. In terms of material selection and usage, imported Benz uses materials uniformly selected and ordered by the main factory. Beijing Benz mostly uses materials from its own cooperative manufacturers. 2. The ACC adaptive cruise system, which is standard on imported Benz E-Class, is replaced with standard cruise control on the domestic Benz E-Class. Even the top-end models do not feature adaptive cruise. 3. There are also significant differences in post-purchase maintenance and repairs. Replacing parts for Beijing Benz is straightforward, as the required components can generally be found at 4S stores nationwide, and the costs are not too high. Many parts for imported Benz are not available domestically and need to be ordered from the original factory.

Can I choose a license plate number when registering at a 4S shop?

When purchasing a car and registering it at a 4S shop, you can choose a license plate number. Here are the rules for car registration: 1. The license plate is randomly selected, using a 10-to-1 or 50-to-1 method. After selecting the random option, the computer will quickly scroll through license plate numbers. When you press the confirm button, the scrolling stops, and ten random numbers are retained. You can choose your favorite number within the specified time. 2. The random number database consists of ready-made numbers, mostly from vehicles that have been scrapped or deregistered and just entered the database. Therefore, there is a certain chance of selecting a desirable license plate. 3. License plates are plates hung at the front and rear of the vehicle, usually made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, engraved with the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information.

What Causes the ABS Light to Stay On in a Cruze?

The reasons for the ABS warning light staying on in a Cruze include the ABS speed sensor's sensing part being covered; poor signal due to loose connections between system lines or poor contact of the ABS relay, leading to system failure. When the sensing part of the ABS speed sensor is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, it affects the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle's speed and the wheel's slip rate, thereby failing to issue appropriate commands to adjust braking. The solution is to clean the dirt off the speed sensor and adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Poor signal due to loose connections between system lines or poor contact of the ABS relay can cause system failure. The most common issue is a loose connection in the speed sensor wiring, which will also show as a poor speed sensor signal in the ABS computer's fault memory. The solution is to check the connection points and reconnect any loose connections.

What is the solution for the sunroof rattle in the new Sagitar?

Here are the causes and solutions for sunroof rattling in the Sagitar: 1. Aging of sunroof rubber seals or gaskets. The sunroof sealing strips, long exposed to rain or sunlight, are prone to aging. Rubber conditioner can temporarily restore the performance of the seals. Open the sunroof fully and spray the conditioner onto the sealing strips. Alternatively, replace the sunroof rubber seals. 2. Loose sunroof screws. Loose screws can cause rattling in the headliner and sunroof, and even pose a risk of the sunroof detaching. The solution is simple: locate the sunroof screws and tighten them. 3. Dust particles in the sunroof tracks. Frequent opening and closing of the sunroof inevitably leads to dust accumulation in the track gaps. When enough dust accumulates, friction occurs during sunroof operation, causing rattling. Use a towel to remove the dust, and regular maintenance is essential.
