Generally, car windshield wipers should be replaced every 1 to 2 years. Since wipers are made of rubber material, they will naturally degrade over time with use. Timely replacement is necessary to prevent poor performance during operation, which could affect normal driving. Precautions for using car wipers: 1. Dirty wipers will shorten their lifespan; 2. Dry wipers can scratch the glass; 3. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the wipers are essential. Windshield wipers are tools installed on the front glass of motor vehicles to provide basic cleaning against rain and other debris that may obstruct vision. The key to effective wiper performance lies in: maintaining adequate moisture in the rubber wiper blades. Only with sufficient moisture can the blades retain excellent flexibility, ensuring tight contact with the windshield glass.

Should ESP be turned on or off?

ESP is turned on by default. Pressing the button once will turn off the Electronic Stability Program (ESP). It can be turned off when getting out of a stuck situation, but it should generally remain on. Below is more information about ESP: 1. The Chinese name for ESP is the Electronic Stability Program, which is an active safety feature that actively controls the braking and traction force of all four wheels. 2. When the vehicle experiences oversteer, understeer, skidding, fishtailing, or body sway, the system will control the driving conditions of all four wheels to automatically correct the vehicle's trajectory, ensuring body stability. 3. Generally, vehicles equipped with ESP have it turned on by default after starting the engine, providing continuous protection for driving safety. ESP can reduce car accidents by over 30% and SUV accidents by 50%.

What is the reason for the constant yellow light on the Haval SS?

If the yellow light on the Haval SS remains illuminated for an extended period, it indicates that the intelligent start-stop system is activated, but the current conditions do not allow for intelligent start-stop. Below is an introduction to the intelligent start-stop system: 1. The start-stop system pauses the engine (instead of maintaining traditional idling) when the vehicle is stationary (not in park mode), while the engine's lubrication system continues to operate, ensuring internal lubrication. 2. If the vehicle remains stationary for too long, causing the AGM battery to have insufficient charge, the yellow "ECO" light on the right side of the dashboard will also illuminate. The vehicle will automatically disable the start-stop system until sufficient power is restored, at which point the green "ECO" light will illuminate, and the system will resume operation.

How to Check the Mileage on a Mercedes-Benz?

The method to check the mileage on a Mercedes-Benz is: You can view the mileage in the trip section of the central dashboard. To check the mileage for a single trip, swipe right from the left side of the steering wheel, then select the information on the right side of the dashboard and scroll up or down. Taking the Mercedes-Benz GLS as an example, its dimensions are 5130mm in length, 1934mm in width, and 1860mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3075mm. In terms of exterior design, the Mercedes-Benz GLS adopts the brand's family-style design language, featuring the iconic double-slat grille at the front, paired with a honeycomb mesh and the Mercedes-Benz logo. For the suspension system, the Mercedes-Benz GLS uses double-wishbone independent suspension at both the front and rear.

What are the types of steering systems?

There are three types of steering systems: mechanical power steering system, electro-hydraulic power steering system, and electric power steering system. The mechanical power steering system uses the driver's physical strength as the steering energy source, and all the force-transmitting components are mechanical. The mechanical steering system consists of three major parts: the steering control mechanism, the steering gear, and the steering transmission mechanism. In the electro-hydraulic power steering system, the steering oil pump is no longer directly driven by the engine but is driven by an electric motor, and an electronic control system is added on top of the previous setup, making the steering assist force not only related to the steering angle but also to the vehicle speed. The mechanical structure includes added hydraulic reaction devices and fluid distribution valves, while the new electronic control system includes vehicle speed sensors, solenoid valves, steering ECU, etc. The electric power steering system can provide variable assist, which requires a complex balance between power and control. The electric power steering system is replacing the hydraulic power steering system as the mainstream steering system in automobiles.

What are the common units for car tire pressure?

Tire pressure is generally measured in five units: kg/cm2, bar, Kpa, Psi, and atmospheric pressure. According to the international standard GBT2978-2008, the recommended tire pressures for different types of tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; The maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5bar. Normal tire pressure in winter: In winter, the tire pressure should be based on the standard tire pressure of the car, with an appropriate increase of about 0.2bar. Normal tire pressure in summer: Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure is sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures.
