Here are the methods to adjust the rearview mirrors to the optimal position: 1. Left rearview mirror adjustment: Place the horizon line at the center of the mirror, then adjust the edge of the car body to occupy 1/4 of the mirror's image for the best view. 2. Right rearview mirror adjustment: Since the driver's seat is on the left side, it's harder for the driver to grasp the situation on the right side of the car. Therefore, when adjusting the up and down position of the right rearview mirror, the ground area should be larger, occupying about 2/3 of the mirror's range. The left and right position should also be adjusted so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's range for the best view. 3. Central rearview mirror adjustment: For the left and right position, the left edge of the mirror should just be able to see your right ear for the best view. For the up and down position, the distant horizon should be placed at the center of the mirror for the best view.

How to Turn on the Car Heater?

Method to turn on the car heater: 1. For manual air conditioning: After warming up the car, wait until the water temperature rises to the normal level, then rotate the air volume button (no need to press the AC button); 2. For automatic air conditioning: After warming up the car, wait until the water temperature rises to the normal level, then rotate the temperature button (also no need to press the AC button). Precautions for using the car heater: 1. Do not turn on the heater immediately after getting in the car; 2. After entering the car, first turn on the external circulation to allow the cold air inside to flow out, which will help with the subsequent heating effect; 3. The AC button represents the air conditioning compressor, which is used for cooling in summer. The principle of winter heating is different from summer cooling, so there is no need to press the AC button. The heater works through heat exchange from components like the radiator and exhaust pipe. The principle is that the engine's cooling system dissipates heat from the engine, and then the car's blower directs this heat into the cabin, effectively recycling waste heat.

What does 'back' mean in a car?

Back in a car refers to making a U-turn, which is the operation of changing the direction of the car by 180 degrees under road conditions where U-turns are permitted. Precautions for making a U-turn: Based on road conditions or traffic conditions, try to choose a safe section for U-turns where there is little traffic and it does not hinder the normal passage of vehicles and pedestrians. Choose to make the U-turn at a dashed line; U-turns are not allowed at solid lines. When making a U-turn at a permitted section or intersection, turn on the left turn signal in advance. Change lanes to the left to enter the left U-turn guiding section without affecting the normal driving of other vehicles, and complete the U-turn according to the direction indicated by traffic signs. After entering the solid line area of the intersection, do not change lanes to the left.

What does the Navigation Guided Pilot system mean?

Navigation Guided Pilot (NGP), simply put, means that after setting the destination on the vehicle's system, the car will automatically cruise, change lanes, and navigate nearby ramps according to the route. Additional information: 1. Brake Assist System: In emergency situations, 90% of drivers do not brake decisively. The Brake Assist System is designed to address this issue. It detects the situation the vehicle is encountering based on the speed at which the driver presses the brake pedal. When the driver quickly presses the brake pedal in an emergency but does not apply enough force, the system assists and increases the braking force to the maximum in less than a second, reducing the braking distance in emergency situations. 2. Parking Assist System: The Parking Assist System includes ultrasonic sensors embedded in the front and rear bumpers. Each sensor has a diameter of about 15mm. The ultrasonic detection signals emitted by the sensors reflect when they encounter obstacles. After receiving the reflected signals, the sensors promptly feed them back to the system for distance calculation and alert the driver through sound, video, etc., about the distance between the vehicle and obstacles outside the driver's field of vision.

Why does the Mercedes car horn sound muffled?

Mercedes car horn sounding muffled is most likely caused by water ingress. Solutions for a waterlogged car horn: 1. Open and air dry: Allow the water inside to evaporate naturally, otherwise prolonged exposure may cause a short circuit in the wiring. 2. Remove the horn: If there isn't too much water, take the horn off, drain the water, and then reinstall it. Be careful not to lose any parts during reinstallation. 3. Heat the horn: Use a hairdryer to heat the horn, causing the water inside to evaporate. Once the water has evaporated, the horn should return to normal. However, if the horn's diaphragm is damaged due to water ingress, the only solution is to replace the horn with a new one.

What is Cold Tire Pressure?

Cold tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside tires at normal temperature (room temperature), typically between 18~24 degrees Celsius. Related information: 1. Tire pressure: Strictly speaking, tire pressure means the air pressure inside tires. In terms of car maintenance, the engine is the heart of a car - engine failure would lead to the end of a car's life, while tire pressure is like the blood pressure of a car. The level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in a car's performance and power. 2. Methods of tire pressure monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure, then transmit the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module via wireless transmitters, finally displaying the tire pressure data for each tire.

Encountering Water Accumulation: Should a Car Pass Through Quickly or Slowly?

When a sedan passes through a waterlogged section of the road, it should do so at a slow speed. Here are the relevant guidelines: 1. Maintain a steady speed: When driving on flooded roads, engage a low gear to ensure sufficient power for the vehicle. Enter the water slowly at a low speed, keep the steering steady, and pass through at a constant speed without changing gears, stopping, or making sharp turns. If the water is too deep, do not force your way through to prevent the engine from stalling. 2. Precautions: If water has already entered the passenger compartment, the driver needs to be extra vigilant. It is best to promptly replace any items in the compartment that have been soaked to avoid odors and bacterial growth.
