The first maintenance is generally required when the car has been driven approximately 3,000 kilometers or within three to five months. Here is an introduction regarding the timing of the first car maintenance: 1. Shortening the first maintenance mileage: According to some car maintenance manuals, the first maintenance can be performed when the car has been driven 5,000 kilometers. However, considering actual driving conditions, the quality of gasoline can directly affect the mileage for the first maintenance. Additionally, the wear and tear during the new car's break-in period is significant, so appropriately shortening the first maintenance mileage is understandable and does not harm the car. 2. The choice of gasoline affects the first maintenance: The quality of car engine oil directly impacts the first maintenance process. In some cases, if fully synthetic oil is chosen, it can, in a way, extend the time for the first car maintenance. However, during the first maintenance, a comprehensive inspection is still necessary to eliminate potential risks. It is essential to select high-quality, reputable brand engine oil.

What Causes a Mercedes-Benz to Trigger Radar Alerts Without Obstacles?

Mercedes-Benz owners often encounter situations where the radar continuously alerts despite no obstacles being present. Here are the reasons why a Mercedes-Benz radar may sound without obstacles: 1. License Plate Issues: Particularly with front radars, which generally require a wide detection range, the radar's ultrasonic waves are fan-shaped. If the license plate frame is too large or the plate is bent or deformed, it may enter the radar's detection range, causing false alarms. This issue commonly occurs with new cars or those that have recently had their license plates reinstalled. 2. Dirty or Obstructed Radar Sensors: This is also quite common. For example, after washing the car or driving through muddy roads in the rain, mud or rainwater on the bumper may be detected by the radar or directly cover the sensors. 3. Hardware-Related Radar Issues: Such as dented sensors, damaged or deformed sensor mounts, or faulty sensors themselves. 4. Sensor Installation Problems: On some modified vehicles, careless installation may cause the sensors to angle downward or be mounted too low, leading to false alarms when encountering small bumps or uneven ground. 5. Obstacles on the Vehicle's Side: It's important to note that radar sensors do not only emit ultrasonic waves forward/backward. If there are obstacles on the side of the vehicle and they are relatively close, they may also be detected.

How Long Does It Take to Lift Engine Torque Limitation?

Engine torque limitation can be lifted within one day. The most obvious sign of engine torque limitation is the lack of power in the vehicle; no matter how much you accelerate, it doesn't help, and the tachometer doesn't rise. The reasons for engine torque limitation are as follows: 1. Electronic system failure: After a vehicle malfunctions, the onboard computer generates fault codes. During repairs, technicians use professional diagnostic computers to read these fault codes, helping them quickly locate the issue and identify the cause. 2. Mechanical failure: Malfunctions in the urea pump, urea nozzle, or speed limiter aging can affect engine operation. It is essential to perform regular vehicle maintenance and seek professional repair services promptly when issues are detected.

Are Traffic Police Allowing the Installation of Anti-Tailgating Strobe Lights?

Traffic police currently do not allow vehicles to privately install anti-tailgating strobe lights. According to Article 97 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China: Illegally installed alarms and signal lights will be forcibly removed and confiscated by the traffic management department of the public security organ, and a fine will be imposed. The installation of lighting equipment on vehicles must comply with the following regulations: 1. The lamps of motor vehicles should be installed firmly, intact, and effective, and should not become loose, damaged, lose function, or change the direction of illumination due to vehicle vibration; 2. All light switches should be installed firmly and operate freely, and should not switch on or off by themselves due to vehicle vibration. The position of the switches should be convenient for the driver to operate; 3. Except for turn signal lights, hazard warning signals, and signal lights installed on fire trucks, ambulances, engineering rescue vehicles, and police cars, other external lamps are not allowed to flash.

Can You Keep Driving with a Noisy Release Bearing?

You cannot continue driving with a noisy release bearing. The causes of a noisy release bearing are as follows: 1. Poor Lubrication: Insufficient grease inside the bearing leads to inadequate lubrication between the bearing raceways and balls, requiring timely replenishment of lubricant. 2. Aging of Diaphragm Spring and Bearing Inner Ring: After prolonged use, the elasticity of the diaphragm spring significantly decreases, and the bearing inner ring may also sag, causing contact between the outer and inner rings. The aging spring and inner ring need to be replaced promptly. 3. Excessive Friction Between Bearing Inner Ring and Diaphragm Spring: If the inner ring and diaphragm are installed too tightly, significant friction can occur. Adjusting the tightness between the bearing inner ring and the diaphragm may be necessary. 4. Inadequate Cleaning Inside the Release Bearing: If the bearing is not cleaned properly, rotation may become stiff, leading to noise. Regular cleaning of the bearing inner ring and proper maintenance are essential.
