Mercedes-Benz E-Class requires maintenance once a year or every 10,000 kilometers. Method to reset the maintenance reminder light for Mercedes-Benz E-Class: Start the vehicle and open the interface in the trip computer. Simultaneously press the "OK" button on the left side of the steering wheel and the "Phone" button on the right side of the steering wheel until the menu appears, then release. In the maintenance menu, select "ASSYSTPLUS" and press the "OK" button to enter. Choose "Complete Maintenance" and press "OK" to enter. Select "Confirm Complete Maintenance" to finish the reset. Maintenance methods: Some components require regular maintenance to ensure cost-effective repairs, safety performance, and driving comfort in the long run.

I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz E-Class for almost five years. According to the owner's manual, the maintenance interval is usually every 10,000 kilometers or once a year, whichever comes first. I stick to this schedule because delaying maintenance can accelerate part wear, such as engine noise increasing due to oil degradation. Last time I forgot about maintenance during a business trip and skipped it for half a year, which resulted in a water pump failure that cost me a fortune to repair. If you do a lot of city driving in congested traffic, you might want to do maintenance a bit earlier; if you often drive on highways, you can slightly postpone it but don't exceed the manual's recommendation. I suggest setting a phone reminder and going to an authorized 4S dealership—though more expensive, the quality is guaranteed, preventing small issues from turning into big troubles.

I just bought a new Mercedes-Benz E-Class and initially didn't understand the maintenance schedule. A friend told me the official recommendation is every 10,000 kilometers or once a year, whichever comes first based on mileage. I thought the frequency was a bit high and tried stretching it to 15,000 kilometers, but ended up with increased fuel consumption and a warning light. For cost-saving tips: purchasing maintenance packages can get you discounts, and when replacing parts, mid-range brands are fine—just avoid cheap knockoffs. If you drive less, say only 5,000 kilometers a year, it's best to stick to the time-based schedule and get it checked every 12 months to prevent oil leaks from aging seals. In short, adhering to the maintenance cycle is key—it keeps things hassle-free and avoids unexpected repair costs.

Having worked in the automotive industry for years, I've noticed many Mercedes-Benz E-class owners neglect maintenance schedules. The standard interval is every 10,000 kilometers or 12 months, including oil changes, oil filter replacements, and routine inspections. For those with poor driving habits like frequent hard acceleration or short trips, maintenance may be needed as early as 8,000 kilometers. Never ignore sensor warnings such as the oil light - delayed maintenance leads to carbon buildup, reduced engine efficiency, and higher failure rates. I recommend using maintenance tracking apps or choosing reliable chain service centers for convenience.

What is a Headlight Lens?

A headlight lens is an optical glass lens assembly installed in front of the headlight bulb, which helps focus the light beam more effectively, extending its range and thereby achieving better illumination. Below are specific details about installing lenses: 1. Lens Selection: As long as the lens does not impair the headlight's lighting capability, it generally passes annual vehicle inspections. High-end vehicle models often come equipped with lenses, in which case no registration is required. Installing a suitable lens can address the issue of scattered light from the original headlights, significantly enhancing nighttime driving safety. 2. Penalty Information: According to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, unauthorized installation of lenses or xenon headlights, considered as illegal vehicle modifications that compromise safety, is punishable by a 3-point penalty.

What does a vacuum-assisted braking system mean?

Introduction to the meaning of vacuum-assisted braking system: Gasoline engines can generate high vacuum pressure in the intake manifold, while diesel engines and direct-injection gasoline engines require the installation of a vacuum pump to provide the vacuum source, meeting the requirements of the vacuum-assisted braking system. Below is an introduction to the principle of the vacuum-assisted braking system: 1. The brake booster utilizes the principle of the engine drawing in air during operation to create a vacuum on one side of the booster, generating a pressure difference compared to the normal air pressure on the other side. This pressure difference is used to enhance the braking thrust. 2. Even if there is only a small pressure difference on both sides of the diaphragm, due to the large surface area of the diaphragm, it can still generate a significant thrust to push the diaphragm toward the side with lower pressure.

What is the working principle of a 4-wire brake switch?

A 4-wire brake switch essentially consists of two brake switches—one normally open and one normally closed. When the brake is pressed, the normally open switch closes, and the normally closed switch opens. Each of the four wires serves a different purpose: one is a 12-volt power supply, one is the brake signal wire for the ABS system ECU, one is the brake signal wire for the automatic transmission ECU, and one connects to the rear brake indicator light. 2-wire brake switch: A 2-wire brake switch operates on a break-and-make principle—when the brake is pressed, the switch closes; when the brake is not pressed, the switch remains open. 4-wire brake switch: The two wires on the side of the brake light switch control the brake lights, while the middle two wires provide the brake signal to the vehicle's computer (ECU). Based on this signal and other conditions, the ECU stops fuel supply to the engine, achieving fuel-saving effects.
